Items related to Courage
"Courage" looks for courage outside of the extremes of violence, endurance and fear, tracking it across cultural and historical divides to its less spectacular and deeper forms. It follows courage across the age-divide to children, and across the species-divide to animals. It seeks out courage in the parts of our public and private lives where we least expect to find it. This is a look at the ideas and practices of courage stripped of their rhetorical 'bling'. "Courage" not as a virtue to aspire to, but as an expression of human spirit-messy, explosive and morally ambivalent.
