Beskrivning

The protection of people's best interests, the passions and powersof the human will, and the rule of active energy in all aspects of life supplant courage formerly viewed through the lens of reason or faith, or a combination of the two.These new ideas, paradoxically, herald the end of the ethics of courage.
