| Summary |
This book is a bold attempt to reconceptualize excellence. It is no longer the virtue of doing something well or the mean of two extremes, but a clearing which allows humans to manifest their potentialities and creatively resist obstacles. The concept of excellence is emancipated from the excessive concern with order and good citizenry to become a libratory principle for interrogating all social institutions in the name of a better future. |
