One of the major thinkers in 20th-century continental thought.

In A Philosophy of Morals, Agnes Heller examines ethics as embedded in everyday life, social relations, and historical circumstance. She reconstructs moral theory with attention to agency, freedom, responsibility, and the conditions that make ethical action intelligible in a world of institutions, power structures, and conflicting claims. If you love Simone Weil, you'll dig Heller. 

Heller’s writing is systematic and exacting, but she avoids jargon where possible and refuses detached speculation. The result is a moral philosophy that remains grounded in lived reality—ethical life as practice, not Platonic ideal.

This edition is signed by Heller, in her native Hungarian.
