Viac o knihe

The book explores the tension between premodern beliefs in unyielding sacredness and modern reliance on imperfect science. It delves into the works of contemporary philosophers who argue for an absolute norm centered on rationality and authenticity. Steinvorth posits that this norm should be understood not as a moral imperative but as a metaphysical principle, suggesting that authenticity is about engaging in actions for their intrinsic value rather than for self-fulfillment.
