Judith Shklar’s Ordinary Vices (1984) made the case that the worst of all the vices is cruelty.

David explores what she had to say about some of the other authors in this series – including Bentham and Nietzsche – and asks what price we should be willing to pay for putting cruelty first among the vices.
