What moral values do we hold in common? As globalization draws us together economically, are our values converging or diverging? These twin questions led Michael Ignatieff to embark on a three-year, eight-nation journey in search of an answer. What we share, he found, are what he calls “ordinary virtues”: tolerance, forgiveness, trust, and resilience. When conflicts break out, these virtues are easily exploited for a politics of fear and exclusion―reserved for one’s own group and denied to others. But they are also the key to healing and reconciliation on a local and global scale.
“Ignatieff combines powerful moral arguments with superb storytelling.”

―Kieran Setiya, Times Literary Supplement
“Ignatieff has long served as a bellwether of liberal internationalism… His writerly gifts make reading The Ordinary Virtues a wonderful experience.”

출판사 서평
“Michael Ignatieff has long served as a bellwether of liberal internationalism, and what he has to say is important in itself and a reflection of a temperament evolving in time. Ignatieff’s writerly gifts make reading The Ordinary Virtues a wonderful experience, whether one agrees or not with the contentious thesis he advances about virtue ethics and human rights. Readers interested in global politics cannot afford to miss this intervention.”―Samuel Moyn, author of The Last Utopia: Human Rights in History
“Michael Ignatieff has written his most important book. It speaks to the moral dilemmas of our times in a language that grapples with the profound contradictions between the universal languages that many global elites speak and the ‘ordinary virtues’ of ordinary citizens that come to life in local contexts in local languages. It is not hard to extend Ignatieff’s reasoning to the contemporary crisis in liberal democracies in the developed world.”―Janice Stein, University of Toronto
“In this extraordinary book, Michael Ignatieff travels across the globe to explore two apparently opposite things: what divides us from each other, and what enables communities of strangers to live side by side. He doubts whether a single legal, religious, or philosophical code can unite us. Globalization in our economies does not produce globalization in our hearts. He emphasizes the role of ordinary virtues, not grand principles, in guiding us through the maze of competing ideas and obligations. At a time when liberal and democratic principles are widely challenged, and funeral orations are being delivered prematurely for the international order that has lasted since 1945, this book provides a much-needed reminder that societies can, somehow, not just muddle through, but create a moral order of sorts that actually works.”―Adam Roberts, University of Oxford
“Michael Ignatieff is an exceptionally distinguished historian, journalist, and thinker. The Ordinary Virtues is an engrossing, creative, and elegantly written addition to his other excellent books. Considering a globalizing world troubled by terrible inequality, Ignatieff makes a moral argument by illustration, with sophistication enough for trained political theorists as well as a real-world engagement that gives the work heft.”―Gary Bass, Princeton University
“Ignatieff combines powerful moral arguments with superb storytelling. There are unforgettable accounts of the massacres in the former Yugoslavia and how people try to live with memories of loss and―perhaps even harder―with neighbors who were among the perpetrators…What is perhaps most interesting about The Ordinary Virtues is the contrast between the hopes and aspirations of the 1990s and the realities of the early 21st century.”―David Herman, New Statesman
“[An] admirable little book.”―James Traub, New York Times Book Review
