After the Terror

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Did we have a responsibility for what took place on September 11? Did we respond to it as we should have? What are we to do now? "After the Terror" inquires into the "natural fact" of morality and the worked-out moralities of philosophers. It reaches to the moral core of our lives.
