Anna Peterson draws on the ethical wisdom of the past and extends its guidance with creativity and rigor, offering a practice-based approach to ethics that can help us engage deeply and creatively with the most essential ethical and political challenges of our time -economic justice, religious pacifism, rising white nationalism, euthanasia, and human- induced climate change. She challenges us to work collectively to open our hearts to the suffering of others and our
minds to new possibilities of expansive justice and collective flourishing.
