In this moving and thought-provoking volume, Arthur Kleinman tells the unsettling stories of a handful of men and women, some of whom have lived through some of the most fundamental transitions of the turbulent twentieth century.
Here we meet an American veteran of World War II, tortured by the memory of the atrocities he committed while a soldier in the Pacific. A French-American woman aiding refugees in sub-Saharan Africa, facing the utter chaos of a society where life has become meaningless. A Chinese doctor trying to stay alive during Mao's cultural revolution, discovering that the only values that matter are those that get you beyond the next threat. These individuals found themselves caught in circumstances where those things that matter most to them--their desires, status, relationships, resources, political and religious commitments, life itself--have been challenged by the society around them. Each is caught up in existential moral experiences that define what it means to be human, with an intensity that makes their life narratives arresting.
These stories reveal just how malleable moral life is, and just how central danger is to our worlds and our livelihood. Indeed, Kleinman offers in this book a groundbreaking approach to ethics, examining "who we are" through some of the most disturbing issues of our time--war, globalization, poverty, social injustice--all in the context of actual lived moral life.

《道德的重量》:怎样去过一种道德生活?
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
Arthur Kleinman,中文名凯博文,是哈佛大学医学院社会医学部主任和哈佛大学人类学系主任,因为他太太是汉学家,所以他们夫妇俩曾经在亚洲地区包括中国大陆生活过,尤其是在中国的精神病院里做过人类学的田野观察。大约五六年前,我第一次读到了他的那本《疾病和苦痛的社会根源... (展开)![](https://img3.doubanio.com/icon/u1137624-3.jpg)

《道德的重量》---一类不被广泛接受的观点
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
《道德的重量》的作者阿瑟·克莱曼(又名凯博文)在导言中这样写道:“本书记叙了一些普通人的故事,评述了他们在平常和非常时期最看重的事。这是一本关于道德经验的书,聚焦于个人和团体如何认真处理和对付生活中的危机和无常。人们往往倾向于把危险和意外事故看作是生活环境... (展开)![](https://img2.doubanio.com/icon/u3303303-1.jpg)

心累得不想给分。说话好啰嗦啊!一个简单的故事能说那么久,简单的意思也不知用简洁的语言带过,总之,可能是欠缺文学性吧,如果能连贯点儿紧凑点儿,这些夹叙夹议的故事看得大概不会这么累人。

The ethical precedes the epistemological, and acknowledgment and affirmation of the other precedes inquiry and enables a readiness for unexpected transformations.
