RELATIVISM IN HABITS OF THE HEART

In commenting globally on what they make of the “Brian Palmer” case study, the authors of Habits of the Heart say the following:

”Despite the combination of tenderness and admiration he expresses for his wife, the genuine devotion he seems to feel for his children, and his own resilient self-confidence, Brian’s justification of his life thus rests on a fragile foundation.
