The Perfect Gift: The Philanthropic Imagination in Poetry and ProseAmy A. Kass Indiana University Press, 12 aug. 2002 - 425 pagini This volume aims at cultivating and enlightening our philanthropic imagination. It addresses us all as present and future philanthropists, as human beings who give, serve, and seek to promote the well being of others. It suggests that we are continually confronted with choices about giving, and offers a collection of writings intended to help us reflect more seriously on these choices, and to make philanthropic acts, when they are undertaken, more meaningful. |
