Interesting, made me think. Would've helped if I'd had more of a classical education so I could understand all the references to Greek literature. Was pleased to read his opinion of reverence as a virtue, a virtue that I think is sadly lacking in so many people these days. Disappointed that the final chapter didn't tie everything together or summarize his thesis. The book simply ended. ( )

Very good, looks at a forgotten virtue ( )

A book written by an idiot for idiots. It's simple, uninteresting crap. ( )

An interesting meditation on the virtue of reverence and its relevance to modern life. Drawing on both Ancient Greek and Chinese philosophy, the author explains what reverence is and why it is important.
This is not some 'new-age' feel good attempt to make a quick buck out of making philosophy easy for non-philosophers. Rather it is an in-depth look at virtue, discussing not just reverence but also such things as the difference between morals and ethics. ( )
