Der amerikanische Philosoph Jonathan Lear wirft in seinem bereits 2006 im Original erschienenen Buch die Frage auf, "Wie weiterleben, wenn alles zusammenbricht?". Grundlage für seine Untersuchung ist die Geschichte des Stammes der Crow im Angesicht ihrer kulturellen Zerstörung. Was bedeutet es im Angesicht des eigenen Existenzverlustes, die Hoffnung zu bewahren. Ein wichtiges Buch!
