Ordinary Virtues - Moral Order in a Divided World Ignatieff MichaelPaperback
Winner of the Z calo Book PrizeA New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice "Combines powerful moral arguments with superb storytelling." --New StatesmanWhat moral values do we hold in common? These twin questions led Michael Ignatieff to embark on a three-year, eight-nation journey in search of an answer. As globalization draws us together economically, are the things we value converging or diverging?
When conflicts break out, these virtues are easily exploited by the politics of fear and exclusion, reserved for one's own group but denied to others. What we share, he found, are what he calls "ordinary virtues" tolerance, forgiveness, trust, and resilience. Yet these ordinary virtues are the key to healing and reconciliation on both a local and global scale.
"Makes for illuminating reading." --Simon Winchester, New York
