Publisher's Synopsis
Moral Overstrain is a book written by George William Alger that explores the concept of moral fatigue and its effects on individuals and society. Alger argues that the constant pressure to uphold moral standards can lead to exhaustion and burnout, which can manifest in a variety of ways, including apathy, cynicism, and even moral relativism.Drawing on examples from history, literature, and contemporary society, Alger examines the causes and consequences of moral overstrain, and offers practical advice for individuals and communities looking to avoid or overcome it. He also explores the role of religion, philosophy, and other cultural institutions in shaping our moral beliefs and values, and how these can either help or hinder our ability to cope with moral stress.Overall, Moral Overstrain is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about morality and the pressures that come with it.
