Purification and the Moral Life: Transforming Desire

from The Minefield · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

What if the impediments to moral growth are not purely or even primarily external to us? During the month of Ramadan, we explore the inner tension between our tendency toward egotism, craving, and self-deception, and the task of cultivating the virtues of humility, self-restraint, and moral clarity.
