Leon R. Kass has been helping Americans better understand the human
condition for over four decades as a teacher, writer, scholar,
public champion of the humanities, and defender of human dignity.
From bioethics to civic education, from interpreting the Bible to
weighing the moral implications of modern science, Kass has offered
wisdom, guidance, and instruction. In this volume, fifteen of
Kass's admirers, including students, colleagues, and friends, honor
his work by reflecting on the broad range of subjects to which he
has devoted his life's work. Some of the essays offer
interpretations of great works of literature and philosophy from
Homer, Sophocles, and Plato to Rousseau, Franklin, Jane Austen,
Hawthorne, and Henry James. Others examine the significance of Leon
Kass's work as a bioethicist and Chairman of the President's
Council on Bioethics and as an interpreter of the Book of Genesis.
The essays collected in Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver offer
a sense of the breadth of Kass's interests and insights and of the
influence he has had on generations of scholars. The reader is
further acquainted with the career of Leon R. Kass by a
biographical introduction and a comprehensive listing of his
published writings and the courses he has taught."
