Description: As Albert Camus's famous dictum has it, the only truly important philosophical question is suicide, or whether life is worth living. Now, in Pieta, his latest collection of essays, George Klein-distinguished biologist, writer, Holocaust survivor, and humanist-faces this question head-on in a series of meditations on subjects ranging from the misuses of science to the vital importance of art, music, and literature to surviving catastrophes like the Holocaust and AIDS. Pieta is a passionate book of scientific and personal ethics, inspired by tragic events that resonate in the consciousness of each of us.
