This revised and updated edition explores the often conflicting value systems that compete for our attention. It defines and compares six major mental modes shedding new light on how we know and believe what we know. Wide-ranging, yet very readable, on one level it functions as a kind of catalogue of alternative value systems from which to choose. On another level it explores how and why people choose the values they do. Why does one person become a Mother Teresa and another a Saddam Hussein? It also addresses the question of moral education in school.
