Margaret Somerville aims to introduce a moral language that can be common across cultures which can be used to understand and facility a broad spectrum of issues. From that perspective, I feel that the book is grossly unsuccessful. Her substitution of the "ethical imagination" in place of a moral language does not address any of the issues she suggests because she has framed it not as a language which crosses barriers but as a morality constrained by her own cultural milieu. Even after less than a decade, her standpoint has not aged well and her position is becoming increasingly out-of-date even within her own culture.
