The Beloved Self is about the holy grail of moral philosophy: an argument against egoism that proves that we all have reasons to be moral. Hills suggests that egoism is not epistemically rational, offers a new theory of moral understanding, and examines the nature of moral action and the connection between what we should believe and how we act.
