It shows that our present understanding of the \"end game\" has been distorted by a modern emphasis and demand on justice as the ultimate good. As an alternative to this self-destructive approach, Charles Shirō Inouye shows that in these traditions, justice is not the isolated end in itself that we ought strive for; rather it is taught in tandem with its balancing companion: compassion. \u003cem\u003ePlan B\u003c\/em\u003e is a hopeful alternative to our fears about how things are going.","brand":"Greg Kofford Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047857307888,"sku":"9781589587557","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781589587557_p0.jpg?v=1763808805","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781589587557","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
