Needs of Strangers - Michael Ignatieff - Hardcover

This thought provoking book uncovers a crisis in the political imagination, a wide-spread failure to provide the passionate sense of community "in which our need for belonging can be met." Seeking the answers to fundamental questions, Michael Ignatieff writes vividly both about ideas and about the people who tried to live by them-- from Augustine to Bosch, from Rosseau to Simone Weil. Incisive and moving, "The Needs of Strangers" returns philosophy to its proper place, as a guide to the art of being human.Ignatieff, Michael is the author of 'Needs of Strangers - Michael Ignatieff - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780670505777 and ISBN 0670505773.
