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. 410 0$aOxford scholarship online. 606 $aHonor 606 $aRespect 615 0$aHonor. 615 0$aRespect. 676 $a170 700 $aWoodruff$b Paul$f1943-2023.$01819946 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957007403321 996 $aReverence$94380948 997 $aUNINA
