Morality

Restoring the Common Good in Divided Times
Book • 2020
In 'Morality', Rabbi Jonathan Sacks traces the current societal crises to the loss of a strong, shared moral code and the elevation of self-interest over the common good.

He argues that morality has been outsourced to the market and the state, neither of which can provide a moral framework for living.

Sacks leads readers through a historical sweep from ancient Greece to the present day, emphasizing that there is no liberty without morality and no freedom without responsibility.

He advocates for rebuilding a common moral foundation and restoring the importance of collective responsibility and the 'we' over the 'I'.
