Jonathan Sacks
Morality
Restoring the Common Good in Divided Times
Basic Books, 2020
What's inside?
Among the concerns that keep you awake at night, morality probably doesn’t make the list. It should.
Recommendation
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks was an international religious leader, philosopher and respected moral voice. In this book, he asks how democracies, having enshrined the individual, can revive the “We” in “We, the people?” His teachings are that morality binds people together in common purpose, fighting social ills instead of each other. In this analysis of the human condition, Rabbi Sacks makes the case for a shared moral code, a human covenant, and he offers wisdom to live by.
