Hardcover. In 1911, when a professor took his students to tour Nanjing's shantytowns, one student was grateful as his eyes had been opened to the poverty in his own city.

For Bauman the great issues of ethics have lost none of their topicality: they simply need to be seen, and dealt with, in a wholly new way. Our era, he suggests, may actually represent a dawning, rather than a twilight, for ethics. Num Pages: 264 pages, 0. BIC Classification: HPQ; JFC; JFM.
