Professor Phillips argues that human beings need "Interventions in Ethics" to counteract our tendancies to generalize about moral issues. There is a gap between the tidiness of ethical systems and the hetrogeneity of morals. We need not only to criticize attempted definitions of the essence of morality, but also to give up the search for such an essence.

Professor Phillips argues his case in relation to the work of contemporary philosophers including A.G.N.Amcombe, Annette Baier, Max Black, Cora Diamond, Thomas Nagel, Bernard Williams and Peter Winch.
