For me, the bird on the man's shoulder symbolizes the human spirit, imagination, freedom, and the capacity and courage to explore physical, intellectual, and spiritual unknowns . It's hard to tell whether the bird is a pigeon (a messenger) or a dove (a symbol of harmony, love, and peace), but in either case she's an ordinary, everyday bird. As such, she carries the message that all of us, not just a 'chosen few, ' need to exercise our ethical imaginations and engage in journeys of the human spirit.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-from \u003cem\u003eThe Ethical Imagination\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the 2006 CBC Massey Lectures, renowned ethicist Margaret Somerville asked: What does it mean to be human today, when mind-altering scientific breakthroughs are challenging our ideas of ourselves, how we relate to others and the world, and how we find meaning in life?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomerville touches upon controversial topics such as new reproductive technologies, genetic modification, and transhumanism. And she eloquently proposes that it is only by undertaking a journey of the imagination-by heeding our stories, myths, and moral intuition-that we can truly develop an ethics to guide us into the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.78 x 7.81 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 19, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48631978721529,"sku":"9780522854046","price":30.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/QutaSbP9A39780522854046.webp?v=1783124372","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-ethical-imagination-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
