Dr. Barrow's experience has been in an educational context, first as a teacher and now as a lecturer in the philosophy of education at Leicester University, but it is him firm belief that moral philosophy must be studied, and applied, in its own right, now merely as part of a nebulous philosophy of education. Readers accustomed to the weighty abstractions of 'established' philosophers, be they 'pure' philosophers or teacher and teachers in training, will find Dr. Barrow's clear and straightforward writing not only enlightening but thoroughly refreshing.
