Descripci�n Paper Back. Condici�n: New. What exactly is the way of ignorance? 'Some problems are unsolvable and some questions unanswerable.do what we will, we are never going to be free of mortality, partiality, fallibility, and error.' Ignorance is part of our creatureliness, says Berry, and we need to find an appropriate way to live it. He calls the way of ignorance one of 'neighborly love, kindness, caution, care, appropriate scale, thrift, good work, right livelihood.' Because the extent of our knowledge equals the measure of our ignorance, we must know our limits and do our work with the understanding that we never do it alone. Here Berry's newest essays favor thrift and clarity. He elaborates his thesis by cohesively addressing it in regard to privatization, government secrecy, individualism, imagination, community (as it relates to purpose), the importance of local knowledge, the renewal of husbandry (both the term and the practice), and the burdensomeness of the Gospels when we authentically try to live them. Berry admits his essays have been 'motivated by fear of our violence to one another and to the world' as well as his 'hope that we might do better,' but as a man growing old he seems to be coming to terms with both the fullness of his humanity and his vocation as a writer. As Edgar tells his father in King Lear, 'Men must endure / Their going hence, even as their coming hither. / Ripeness is all.' The culmination of Berry's own work is best recognized as the life that comes of death-in his own words, 'the 'plowing in' of experience and memory, building up the cultural humus.'.

Valoraci�n del vendedor:

Descripci�n Soft cover. Condici�n: New. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread in NEW condition. "Wherever we live, however we do so, we desperately need a prophet of responsibility and Berry may be the closest to one we have."---New York Review of Books. "The astonishing thing about these pieces is not their lucidity and grace, not their plain profundity, but the variety of his subjects, the dimensions of his knowledge, experience, interest, passion. Provocative, pellucid prose from a master."---Kirkus Reviews. "He has produced a body of political thought, in a series of essays and speeches, that is so Jeffersonian it seems almost un-American in today's world."---Smithsonian. 180 pages; 15 essays, plus correspondence with Daniel Kemmis on the Democratic Party and Courtney White on a Land Health Movement. Pristine copy is quite presentable. N� de ref. del art�culo: RUB1065
