Opis

Adjudication between conflicting normative universes that don't share the same vocabulary, standards of rationality & moral commitments can't be resolved by recourse to traditional principles. This text draws upon Sophocles' play Antigone in order to consider this difficulty & the virtues that attend its acknowledgment.
