Owen Flanagan argues in this book for a more psychologically realistic ethical reflection and spells out the ways in which psychology can enrich moral philosophy. Beginning with a discussion of such “moral saints” as Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Oskar Schindler, Flanagan charts a middle course between an ethics that is too realistic and socially parochial and one that is too idealistic, giving no weight to our natures.

In this closing volume of the author's trilogy, A Theory of Morals, Heller addresses the existence of morality after the "death of God." She explores Nietzche's ethics of personality as exemplified in his critical engagement with Wagner's Parsifal in his A Genealogy of Morals, and examines the case for a non-absolutist ethics employing ideas, norms, and rules from traditional and modern moral philosophies, particularly those of Kant and Kierkegaard.
