Finding Our Sea-Legs: Ethics, Experience and the Ocean of Stories, Will Buckingham

Finding Our Sea-Legs asks a question that has preoccupied philosophers from the very beginning: how do we make sense of ethics, when it seems so hard to agree?

In Finding Our Sea-Legs, Will Buckingham takes a fresh approach to this question. Instead of seeking the solid ground of philosophical agreement, he launches the reader on a journey across the ocean of stories, to ask about how we experience ethics within our everyday lives

REVIEWS:

The book is unconventional in form: written in colloquial English with little jargon. It tells many stories: about talking fish, million-year-old princesses, and the need to lower your mast as you near the horizon, lest your boat get stuck between the sky and the sea. Finding our Sea-Legs is also unconventional in content. It is one of very few books about a key problem in contemporary philosophy: the tension between the urgency of ethics and their inherent ambiguity.
