The Dawn of Day
Numbered arguments question moral habits and the motives behind familiar judgments. Follow an entire aphorism and its neighbours rather than treating a forceful sentence as a settled conclusion. This is Kennedy’s1911 source translation.
Who it suits
Readers willing to revisit inherited assumptions about conduct and moral certainty.
Reading experience
