Want to Read $ 14.66"While a low anthropologist may agree with the people around them that a given moral end is important, they will be hesitant to justify the adoption of unsavory means to achieve that end. That is, they will be quick to accept stepwise solutions, confident that pragmatism stands a better chance of exacting long-term change than ruthlessness."-David Zahl, Low Anthropology: The Unlikely Key to a Gracious View of Others (and Yourself)

"Low anthropology powerfully reframes the way we approach the good or beautiful things done by otherwise disreputable individuals -- namely, as evidence of grace rather than defilement. As musician Nick Cave notes, "Perhaps beauty can be measured by the distance it has travelled to come into being. That bad people make good art is a cause for hope."-David Zahl, Low Anthropology: The Unlikely Key to a Gracious View of Others (and Yourself)
