Book Description
Science and technology force us to ask some of the most challenging and unprecedented ethical questions in the world today. These issues encompass what it means to be human, how we relate to others and our world, and how we find meaning in life. How we can find a shared ethics for an interdependent world? In her 2006 CBC Massey Lectures, ethicist and McGill University professor Margaret Somerville tackles some of the most contentious issues of our times, and proposes a brilliant new kind of ethical language and thought to help us navigate them.

Well worth reading on an important issue, Dec 17 2010
By Sam B - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Ethical Imagination: Journeys of the Human Spirit (Paperback)
A well balanced attempt to look at an increasingly important subject.It is not a partisan writing, at which some may object, tough for them.
Having traveled a lot, it makes very good sense, and easy to read.
I can see why Margeret Sommerville is Chair for the faculty of Law, founding director of Center for Medicine, Ethics and Law in McGill University and won prizes for Ethics in Science, etc.

N to the E to the O to the C to the O to the N! What does it spell!?!?!, Feb 9 2009
By N. Sanchez - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Ethical Imagination: Journeys of the Human Spirit (Paperback)
If you are the type of person who loves keeping society from progressing forward then you will definitely love this--well, to call it a book would be and insult to most books, but ok we'll call it a book--book.Wildly entertaining if you pretend that she is writing ironicly. As a piece of irony it is wonderful.
Listmania!
