For a model community of upstanding citizens, the answer is shocking in its brutal mundanity.\u003cp\u003eFollow one resident as he navigates a series of events likely to alter both his attitude toward others and his understanding of his own human nature. Will reason triumph, or is a deliberate act of irrational self-sabotage the only means of maintaining his human agency?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this thought-provoking work, Bahr Burr explores existentialist themes addressing one man's seemingly irrational choice to deliberately pursue a course of action contrary to his own best interests. Is man merely a piano key played by powers beyond his control? If so, how should he respond? Is he still responsible for his own actions?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile allowing readers to draw their own conclusions, Burr crafts a narrative designed to force contemplation of one's own moral agency and the tragically simple means by which evil can take control.\u003c\/p\u003eDoes reason account for all human actions? Can man's behavior be predicted according to his own best interests? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne thing is certain: If man is a piano key, the note he strikes is sometimes out of tune.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.37 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 09, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53751279354163,"sku":"9798989177707","price":24.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/jtIM5uXrWO9798989177707.webp?v=1785280602","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/tranquility-bight-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
