But man has to work to achieve this status. The intrinsic unity of the human personality is not a guarantee of a coherent life, but a challenge to be met.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45546531848430,"sku":"9780415589321","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/ethics-emotion-and-the-unity-of-the-self-routledge-revivals-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
