520 1 $a"Did the world change on September 11, 2001? For those who live outside of New York or Washington, life's familiar pace persists and families and jobs resume their routines. Yet everything seems different because of the dramatic disturbance to our sense of what our world means and how we exist within it. In A Delicate Balance, philosopher Trudy Govier writes that it is because our feelings and attitudes have altered so fundamentally that our world has changed.".
520 8 $a"Govier believes that there are ethical challenges we cannot ignore. From Plato and Aristotle on courage, to Kant on revenge, to twentieth century philosopher John Rawls's views on justice, Govier mines the world of philosophy to reflect on terrorism. Govier argues that moral complexities such as victimhood, evil, power, and revenge, if properly understood, can provide a basis for hope - not despair.
520 8 $aGovier walks the reader through this shift, challenging us to construct a new sense of the world and our place within it."--BOOK JACKET.
