Good and Evil: 12 Philosophers on How to Live by Andrew Irwin is a concise and thought-provoking philosophy collection introduced by Rory Stewart. It explores what it means to be good, what evil reveals about human nature, and how different philosophical traditions have tried to answer the question of how we should live.

Through essays on twelve major thinkers, the book introduces readers to ideas from philosophers such as Hannah Arendt, Friedrich Nietzsche, John Stuart Mill, and Niccolo Machiavelli. Themes include morality, suffering, happiness, power, responsibility, cruelty, and the difficult choices that shape human behaviour.

This hardback is a strong choice for readers interested in ethics, moral philosophy, political thought, classic ideas, and accessible philosophical essays. It is suitable for students, general readers, and anyone who wants a clearer way into big questions about character and conduct.
