A Common Humanity: Thinking about Love and Truth and Justice by Raimond Gaita is a deep exploration into the nature of our shared human experience. Gaita posits that our commonality is rooted in our capacity for love, truth, and justice.

He explores love as a transformative emotion. Truth, for Gaita, is linked with moral responsibility. Justice is viewed as a shared societal obligation. These concepts aren’t portrayed as abstract but deeply embedded in human life. Gaita argues that acknowledging these shared values can promote social cohesion and understanding.

His arguments offer fresh perspectives on traditional philosophical debates.

Drawing on the work of Hannah Arendt, Simon Weil, Primo Levi, George Orwell, Iris Murdoch and Sigmund Freud, Gaita creates a beautifully written and provocative new picture of our common humanity.
