In this moving and thought-provoking volume, Arthur Kleinman tells the unsettling stories of a handful of men and women, some of whom have lived through some of the most fundamental transitions of the turbulent twentieth century.
Here we meet an American veteran of World War II, tortured by the memory of the atrocities he committed while a soldier in the Pacific. A French-American woman aiding refugees in sub-Saharan Africa, facing the utter chaos of a society where life has become meaningless. A Chinese doctor trying to stay alive during Mao's cultural revolution, discovering that the only values that matter are those that get you beyond the next threat. These individuals found themselves caught in circumstances where those things that matter most to them--their desires, status, relationships, resources, political and religious commitments, life itself--have been challenged by the society around them. Each is caught up in existential moral experiences that define what it means to be human, with an intensity that makes their life narratives arresting.
These stories reveal just how malleable moral life is, and just how central danger is to our worlds and our livelihood. Indeed, Kleinman offers in this book a groundbreaking approach to ethics, examining "who we are" through some of the most disturbing issues of our time--war, globalization, poverty, social injustice--all in the context of actual lived moral life.

评分 评分凯博文教授的《道德的重量》曾对我产生极大影响,读完此书后如遭电击,默然失语。是夜难眠,给几个朋友发短信:一定要读读这本书。我终究未能给这本书撰写什么书评,因为任何语言对应这本书所透露出的精神力量,都显得微不足道,甚至苍白可笑。 过了很久,在一次研讨会上碰...
评分问问自己是否可以看清所处的现实?看得真实吗?好象没那么简单。 再问自己是否可以直面真实的现实?也不容易。 刚看过阿瑟·克莱曼博士的一本著作《道德的重量》。该书的目的,就是要我们面对真实的现实,无论是好的和不好的方面。道理太简单,难做到吗?他研究...
评分把《道德的重量》翻阅完了,熬夜看了最精彩的前三章。后面的说理太多,有些乏味,但看到他说与人道主义援助人员交谈时有所感,这人说,不确定自己如果不去非洲援助,那里的情况是否会不同,大概很多从事此行的人都多少会有这样的疑虑。可以说为了打败这种挫败感,作者写下了很...
