Description
Reverence Renewing a Forgotten Virtue explores an ancient virtue that survives in our daily lives, yet has largely fallen out of use. This quality of character is essential for leadership and teaching, but also plays a vital role in every human relationship.
The book delves into the concept of reverence in various contexts, including the arts, warfare, and personal relationships, highlighting its importance to a well-functioning society. Drawing on ancient Greek and Chinese traditions, Paul Woodruff offers valuable insights into how reverence can be applied to today's world.
This revised edition includes new material, a foreword by Betty Sue Flowers, and an updated preface, making it a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics, or personal growth.
