Though the book is thick, dense, and unfriendly to careless readers, it is indispensable to those interested in the philosophy of consciousness and free will. Some of his arguments are fallacious, others are unclear, but for the most part Sartre's thoughts penetrate deeply into fundamental philosophical territory. Basing his conception of self-consciousness loosely on Heidegger's "being," Sartre proceeds to sharply delineate between conscious actions ("for themselves") and unconscious ("in themselves").

Actual Ethics offers a moral defense of the 'classicalliberal' political tradition and applies it to several of today'svexing moral and political issues. James Otteson argues that aKantian conception of personhood and an Aristotelian conception ofjudgment are compatible and even complementary. He shows why theyare morally attractive, and perhaps most controversially, whencombined, they imply a limited, classical liberal political state.Otteson then addresses several contemporary problems - wealth andpoverty, public education, animal welfare, and affirmative action -and shows how each can be plausibly addressed within the Kantian,Aristotelian and classical liberal framework. Written in clear,engaging, and jargon-free prose, Actual Ethics will give studentsand general audiences an overview of a powerful and rich moral andpolitical tradition that they might not otherwise consider.
