When Dr Arthur Kleinman, an eminent Harvard psychiatrist and social anthropologist, began caring for his wife, Joan, after she was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, he found just how far the act of caregiving extended beyond the boundaries of medicine. In The Soul of Care, he delivers a deeply inspiring story about what it means to grapple with illness from both sides, as an experienced doctor and a loving husband. Caregiving is long, hard, unglamorous work - at moments joyous, more often tedious, sometimes agonising, but always rich in meaning.

Darum werden Ethik und Moral oft etwas stiefmütterlich behandelt. Dabei wären sie für uns und die Entwicklung der Menschheit so wichtig. Denn wir können nur glücklich leben, wenn wir uns an ethischen Grundsätzen orientieren. Glück lässt sich niemals finden, solange das Recht auf Glück anderer missachtet wird.

Second, that philosophers who do not believe in God should not use ideas about "obligation" and "duty".

The question "What is good and evil?" may seem simple, but as the book shows, it's more complex than you might think.
