  This is the distillation of a lifetime's work in moral philosophy by one of the most distinguished living philosophers. The themes are: 1. Parts of the soul 2. Justice and history 3. Justice and individuality, and 4. Innocence and experience (largely political philosophy). In Hampshire's words, the epilogue relates some of the themes of the book to personal experience - 30s socialism, the SS in the war and Nazism generally, treachery and the practice of deceit, England's safety and middle-class calm .. I think one owes the public an explanation of why these themes are picked out .
