Summary of Kenan Malik's The Quest for a Moral Compass
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Iliad is a poem about the Trojan War, but it is not a poem about the Trojan War. The beginnings of the conflict and the sacking of Troy lie off page. The whole story of the Iliad is contained within a span of fifty-two days in the tenth and final year of the war.
#2 The Iliad is a poem about the tragic effects of human emotion, and the inevitability of fate governing human life. The action on the battlefield is shadowed by the drama on Mount Olympus, where the gods hold council, argue, and party.
#3 The relationship between man and god is at the heart of all moral thought. It is a dilemma that has been addressed by many throughout history, and will continue to be addressed by future generations.
#4 The questions of fate and free will have been intertwined with each other in an ethical knot since the beginning of the philosophical tradition.
