All human beings ask themselves how to live, if not grandly then in detail. This, in effect, is to ask how it is rational to live. In part or in whole, the question may be moral: What kind of morality, if any, would be worth heeding -and how completely? In Wise Choices, Apt Feelings I don't take on these questions directly. Rather, I ask about them: What is at issue when we puzzle over them? What do normative terms -terms like 'rational' and 'morally wrong' mean? The book has four parts: I. Analyses of normative concepts. II. Meanings and emotions as parts of nature. III. Normative Objectivity. IV. Moral Inquiry: How moral inquiry might be conducted if the theory of the book is correct
