Ethics & moral philosophy

Evaluates modernity's wager, namely, the gambit to liberate the modern individual from external social and religious norms by supplanting them with the rational self as its own moral authority. This book argues that 'the fundamentalist doctrine of enlightened reason has called into being its own nemesis' in the forms of ethnic and racial politics.
