Does Ethics have a Chance in a World of Consumers?
The book you have in your hands is report from battlefield; the theatre where our struggle takes place for finding new and proper ways to think of, to and for the world we live in. Life seems to move too fast for the most of us to be able and follow its turns and capers: foreseeing them instead is clearly beyond dispute. Planning any line of action and following it is a quest burdened with risks, whereas long term schedules seem sic et simpliciter dangerous. This book tries to seize the shape of a moving world that continues to change furiously and faster than our adjusted modes for thinking and describing it.
