Description

This clarion call to rethink our moral and political behaviour examines the idea of conscience and the role conscience plays in our relationships to government, law, ethics, religion, human nature and God-and to each other.

From Abraham to Abu Ghraib, from the dissenting prophets to Darfur, Rabbi Harold Schulweis probes history, the Bible and the works of contemporary thinkers for ideas about both critical disobedience and uncritical obedience.

He illuminates the potential for evil and the potential for good that rests within us as individuals and as a society. By questioning religion's capacity-and will-to break from mindless conformity, Rabbi Schulweis challenges us to counter our current suppressive culture of obedience with the culture of moral compassion and to fulfil religion's obligation to make room for and carry out courageous moral dissent.
