Richard B. Miller urges religious ethicists to turn to cultural studies to broaden the range of the issues they address and to examine matters of cultural practice and cultural difference in critical and self-reflexive ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFriends and Other Strangers\u003c\/i\u003e critically discusses the ethics of ethnography; ethnocentrism, relativism, and moral criticism; empathy and the ethics of self-other attunement; indignation, empathy, and solidarity; the meaning of moral responsibility in relation to children and friends; civic virtue, war, and alterity; the normative and psychological dimensions of memory; and religion and democratic public life. Miller challenges distinctions between psyche and culture, self and other, and uses the concepts of intimacy and alterity as dialectical touchstones for examining the normative dimensions of self-other relationships. A wholly contemporary, global, and interdisciplinary work, \u003ci\u003eFriends and Other Strangers\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates aspects of moral life ethicists have otherwise overlooked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231174888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231174886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2017","brand":"Richard Miller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086434939135,"sku":"9780231174886","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e40e01f3-ff81-45c3-ba2f-9f08e9bc7a67.jpg?v=1769094655","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/friends-and-other-strangers-richard-miller-9780231174886","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
