Rationality, Integrity And Moral Imagination

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

For people in systematically unjust societies, self-respect and human dignity may prove to be impossible dreams. Exploring the implications of that view, this book argues that individual and social rationality may require the transformation rather than the realization of deep-seated aims.
