Fearing Together

Ethics for Insecurity

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Fearing well is at the core of what it means to be responsible; the avoidance of fear causes some of the greatest dangers. Learning to fear well requires proper understanding of the extent to which fearing is an interpersonal practice. Ami Harbin interweaves insights from philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, political theory, and mindfulness research to grapple with what kind of fearers we want to be and become and what we owe each other when facing what we cannot control.
