In Reason's Grief, George Harris takes W. B. Yeats's comment that
we begin to live only when we have conceived life as tragedy as a
call for a tragic ethics, something the modern West has yet to
produce. He argues that we must turn away from religious
understandings of tragedy and the human condition and realize that
our species will occupy a very brief period of history, at some
point to disappear without a trace. We must accept an ethical
perspective that avoids pernicious fantasies about ultimate
redemption but that sees tragic loss as a permanent and pervasive
aspect of our daily lives, yet finds a way to think, feel, and act
with both passion and hope. Reason's Grief takes us back through
the history of our thinking about value to find our way. The call
is for nothing less than a paradigm shift for understanding both
tragedy and ethics.
