Zia Durrani: Reviewing the Ethicists on Ethical Culture

Zia Durrani will review Joseph Chuman’s book, Speaking of Ethics, and discuss the topics he covers — from the global, to the local, to the deeply personal. “After reading the book I felt I had some of my questions discussed, if not completely answered,” says Durrani. “Questions such as: ‘what does it mean to bear witness or pursue happiness?’ or ‘what values are worth preserving?’ Also towards the end of the book there are stories of people who lived several hundred years ago who were executed for their humanistic beliefs. I learned a lot of stuff I don’t know.”
