It survives among us in half-forgotten patterns of behaviour and in the vestiges of old ceremonies. Yet, Paul Woodruff says, we have lost sight of reverence. This short, elegiac volume makes an impassioned case for the fundamental importance of the forgotten virtue of reverence, and how awe for things greater than oneself can - indeed must - be a touchstone for other virtues like respect, humility, and charity. Ranging widely over diverse cultural terrain - from Philip Larkin to ancient Greek poetry, from modern politics to Chinese philosophy - Woodruff shows how absolutely essential reverence is to a well-functioning society.Oxford scholarship online.HonorRespectHonor.Respect.170Woodruff Paul1943-2023.1819946MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957007403321Reverence4380948UNINA
