The Caring Society (Studies in Social Philosophy) (Volume 2)

Dr. Michel Glautier has been a professor for most of his life, his courses centering on accounting and international financial management. But he hasn't been just talking numbers to his students; his teaching has been imbued with the importance of moral values and the effects business has on society. Now he's expanded his classroom to include anyone who chooses to read his social philosophy trilogy, which started with The Social Conscience and now includes The Caring Society. While the first book lays the groundwork for the legitimacy of the caring society, this second volume addresses important questions such as who and what we are as human societies, why social enlightenment and economic progress seem incompatible, and what actions are necessary to bring about a caring society. Referencing the views of science and religion, along with a number of great philosophers, Glautier walks readers through a sensible dialog that allows everyone to take part. These may be lofty topics, but he writes so as to bring them into everyday vernacular. If a caring society is to be possible, everyone needs to participate. Shared knowledge gets us all one step closer.
