What Really Matters: Living a Moral Life Amidst Uncertainty and Danger
Oup Usa (2007)
Abstract
Through arresting narratives we meet a woman aiding refugees in sub-Saharan Africa, facing the chaos of a meaningless society and a doctor trying to stay alive during Mao's cultural revolution - individuals challenged by their societies and in existential moral experiences that define what it means to be human.
