Moral Matters: A Philosophy of Homecoming is Mark Dooley's attempt
to offer an alternative to 'Cyberia'. It is a book about home,
memory and identity. At a time when people are rapidly disengaging
from those forms of life which once bound them together, it can be
argued that our happiness depends on saving and conserving them. We
cannot flourish in isolation or by detaching from the social sphere
which surrounds us. We cannot truly prosper or progress if we
choose to forget where we came from or if we dismiss our inherited
moral wisdom. And yet, in opting for loss, separation and
homelessness, it seems we have done just that. We have opted for a
rootless existence where alienation and amnesia are the norm. This
powerful and passionate book shows how the alienated, 'postmodern'
self can become re-rooted to time and place and restored to full
humanity and happiness whilst moving in a virtual, hyperconnected
world. In caring for creation, conserving culture and saving the
sacred we can once again make our home in the world and experience
the consolation of moving from loss to love.
