Description
The Ordinary Virtues: Moral Order in a Divided World by Michael Ignatieff In an increasingly interconnected world, what values do we hold in common? To find out, Michael Ignatieff embarked on a three-year journey across eight nations. He discovered that despite our differences, there are certain moral virtues that unite us: tolerance, forgiveness, trust, and resilience. These ordinary virtues are often exploited by the politics of fear and exclusion, but they are essential for healing and reconciliation both locally and globally. Ignatieff's book is a thought-provoking exploration of how these values can help us navigate our divided world. Through his deft histories, vivid sketches, and fascinating interviews, Ignatieff sheds light on the importance of ordinary virtues in today's complex global landscape.
