This book is about the grounds of ethical life, or the nature and basis of our ethical obligations. Charvet considers the ideas of the freedom and equality of men and shows that there is a radical incoherence underlying them which consists in the failure to integrate in a coherent way the particular and the moral or communal dimensions of individual life.
