It is, ultimately, the warm voice of a man who is forever intrigued by life, who loves to decipher what he sees but who equally loves the undecipherable.\"\u003cbr\u003e -- Amos Oz As Albert Camus's famous dictum has it, the only truly important philosophical question is suicide, or whether life is worth living. Now, in Pietà , his latest collection of essays, George Klein -- distinguished biologist, writer, Holocaust survivor, and humanist -- faces this question head-on, in a series of meditations on subjects ranging from the misuses of science to the vital importance of art, music, and literature to surviving catastrophes like the Holocaust and AIDS. \"Pietà \" is a passionate book of scientific and personal ethics, inspired by tragic events that resonate in the consciousness of each of us.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Mit Pr","offers":[{"title":"Pieta (Mit Press) | George Klein | Hardcover | 9780262111614 | Used: Very Good | Philosophy 1556511 (temp: 5)","offer_id":48913939693720,"sku":"1556511","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/611xxy5OveL.jpg?v=1776971146","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/pieta-mit-press","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
