Victims and Values: A History and a Theory of Suffering
ISBN: 9780275936907 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Victims and Values joins history and ethics, conducting a timely inquiry into conscience and politics. Mindful of William James's notion that ethics must be grounded in the historical situation, this book examines fundamental ambiquities, dichotomies, and contradictions that we experience about the worth of our own suffering and that of others. In particular, it analyzes how victims make a powerful claim upon contemporary conscience and politics. Amato distances himself equally from those who deny suffering all substantive meaning and those who fashionably transform it into...

Pichaske offer the first comprehensive examination of the Midwestern small town and its evolving nature from the 1800s to the present. This rich... 2004 Minnesota Book Award Winner
