Imperfect Garden: The Legacy of Humanism
Imperfect Garden: The Legacy of Humanism
by Tzvetan Todorov, Carol Cosman (Translator)
Princeton Univ Pr; ISBN: 0691010471; (May 1, 2002)
From the review at Amazon.com:
“For Todorov, as with the best of the humanists, life in the world is a garden that needs our tending. And though by its nature it is imperfect, at times bearing rotten and sour fruit, it can always be improved with our care, diligence, and love. Ultimately, Todorov proposes that humanism is a wager, Г la Pascal: we will be no worse off for striving to mend the human condition, but we risk everything if we don’t. –Eric de Place”
