In
Plato’s

Socrates
obviously
takes
pleasure
in
debating
values
and
alternative
approaches
to
life.
Indeed,

reader,
you

enjoys
struggling
with
difficult
decisions,
since
you’ve
made
it
this

into

It
might
not
be
too
self-congratulatory
to
say
that
people
who
have
oppor-
tunities
to
tussle
with
values,
and
enjoy
the
tussle,
have
the
potential
to
live
especially
good
lives.
