| Summary |
Drawing inspiration from philosophy, history, and literature, Nussbaum takes us to task for our religious intolerance, identifies the fear behind it, and offers a way past fear toward a more equitable and free society. She challenges us to embrace freedom of religious observance for all, extending to others what we demand for ourselves |
