John MacMurray offers a view of human life that could change us all, exploring with great care the nature of human relationship. His view (offered fifty years ago) points toward the social constructionism that was to follow, but without slipping over the edge into moral relativism. In fact, taken seriously, his view of community provides a philosophical basis for a morality that could work for all of us. One of the things I love about this book is that you can find yourself in it and it becomes clear how you can be a better human being--and not in the pointless, self-focused mode of contemporary self-help literature. MacMurray is a philosopher and you have to be willing to deal with his careful categories and sometimes slightly cumbersome language, but it is worth the effort.
