Publisher's Synopsis
Living With Honour is a provocative, articulate and uncompromising exploration of how Paganism can provide the philosophical guidance to live honourably in a twenty-first Western society. It covers the history of Paganism, its undercurrents of anarchy, heresy, environmentalism and animism, finding its place within the history of Western philosophy. Author Emma Restall Orr addresses key moral issues from that animistic perspective, beginning with the foundation of human relationships and attitudes towards the Other, and explores the factors that hinder ethical action. This is a comprehensive guide to moral living from a Pagan perspective. "Excellent... provides a new kind of ethics, founded on some very old human truths" ~ Professor Ronald Hutton, author and world expert on Paganism.
