- The culmination of approximately 5 years research (partly funded by a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship), Perfect Me is a single authored monograph of 342 pages. The work is both extended and complex, being the first work in moral philosophy claiming that beauty is becoming an ethical ideal. It involved the analysis of a large body of material, drawing on evidence from across the humanities, sciences and social sciences; it is a work of considerable depth, such that it has begun a new debate.
