OverviewIn this wonderfully acute and beautifully written volume, A.C Grayling extends the range of his previous three books to show how much understanding people can gain about themselves and their world by reflecting on the challenges of duty versus pleasure in the modern world. A.C Grayling illustrates what each challenge offers to thought, using Hercules' famous dilemma - Duty or Pleasure? - as his cornerstone. THE CHOICE OF HERCULES shows how far-reaching Grayling's masterly and timely commentary of the humanities is to the general reader. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Prof A.C.
