"From the heart"

Sunday, 29/09/2024 19:30 Online conversation

Image-empty-state.png

"On Generosity" is an in-depth journey into the concept of generosity. The book presents generosity as a multifaceted and paradoxical concept, based on recognizing the vulnerability of others and caring for their well-being, while echoing our own vulnerability. Phillips and Taylor argue that generosity is a natural impulse that develops from an encounter with the other, alongside the myriad other emotions that this encounter arouses - hatred, love, desire, and envy - and in connection with them.
