A Philosophical Guide to Figuring Out What Matters.

The Reflective Life: Living Wisely with Our Limits Tiberius's second book, The Reflective Life: Living Wisely with Our Limits, attempts to bridge the gap between theoretical philosophy and day-to-day life, providing an explanation for why anyone should care about issues of ethical inquiry. She does so by bringing a Humean approach to the ideas of reflective values and reflective virtues.
