Personal Ethics

De repente un banquero, quizás en el camino de Damasco, se cae del caballo y deja de ser lo que era: no se ciega, al contrario, abre los ojos, y de presidente del banco más grande de Colombia, se convierte en lector. Quiere pensar con otros qué es lo que pasa aquí, en este mundo, en este país y en esta época que nos tocó en suerte. Carlos Raúl Yepes es asombrosamente humilde y les pone el alma a sus lecturas, dialoga con ellas, las amplía, asimila y resume.

We’re not good at living with tension. It’s uncomfortable. It feels unsafe. The moment a friend, spouse, business, or political movement disagrees with us, we flee to the safety of like-minded thinkers, and dehumanize and attack anyone who thinks differently. No one wins. And if someone dares question our particular stance, we demonize them. This is killing us - families, friendships, civility, and discourse. It kills our chance to hear and be heard. We must step out of our bunkers and step into no-man’s-land....

As home life and work life become increasingly integrated in contemporary life, success (or failure) in either has an undeniable effect on the other. And while the profound events that began the 21st century have intensified the desire to focus on what matters most to us, there is still often a substantial gap between what we say matters most and the way we actually spend our time and money. Our credit-card and checking-account statements may clearly reflect this. But it is possible to keep both areas moving forward in positive ways.

Could it inspire in us the desire for a better world? In this profound and personal book, Kieran Setiya shows how philosophy can help us find our way.
