The Ethics of Uncertainty

Why Human Vows Fail

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Ethics of Uncertainty: Why Human Vows Fail is an irreverent, insightful, and deeply human exploration of why our promises so often crumble beneath the weight of real life. Drawing from philosophy, religion, politics, and a generous dose of existential humor, Kayumba David dismantles the illusion of absolute commitment in a world defined by change, complexity, and contradiction. From Jephthah's tragic vow in the Hebrew Bible to Sartre's existential freedom and Kierkegaard's absurd leap of faith, this book tours the vault of human intention and reveals what we find there: not divine certainty, but trembling hope, poetic aspiration, and frequent awkwardness. If you've ever broken a resolution before February, said "forever" with your fingers crossed, or wondered why some vows feel like hostages rather than commitments-this book is your permission slip to be honest, imperfect, and ethically alive. A celebration of humility, grace, and the audacity to promise anyway.

Autorenporträt

Kayumba David - Theologian, Diplomat, and Relentless Reader Born in rural Uganda during political upheavals, Kayumba David learned early on that life was a mix of dodging both bullets and tough questions. Drawn to theology, particularly liberation theology, he became fascinated with how faith could challenge oppression. He quickly earned a reputation for asking deep questions-and writing essays in his textbooks' margins. Seeking a "break," he dove into international relations and diplomacy, blending peacemaking with a passion for justice, while secretly wishing everyone would read more. An avid reader and social justice advocate, Kayumba now writes with humor and wisdom, drawing from a life rich in both books and battles for change
