Description
Inspired by a question from a friend, whether a universal moral imagination exists, veteran playwright Tom Anselmo explores the nature of moral character. His narration of how insight is transformative is central to his essay. Using characters and scenes from his own works, as well as events and stories from his childhood and adulthood, Anselmo investigates those pivotal elements that shape who we are.
Part literary analysis, part philosophical discussion, and part memoir, An Afterword: in Pursuit of One’s Character delves deep into the core of the moral idea.
