Everyone deplores narcissism, especially in others. The vain are by turns annoying or absurd, offending us whether they are blissfully oblivious or proudly aware of their behaviour. But are narcissism and vanity really as bad as they seem? Can we avoid them even if we try? In this book, Simon Blackburn says that narcissism, vanity, pride, and self-esteem are more complex than they first appear and have innumerable good and bad forms.
