Sublime
Specific Question
7. Can the sublime be an important framework for ethics in global health? If yes or no, how does Ghosh’s The Calcutta Chromosome help you make your case?
I believe the sublime can be an important framework for ethics in global health, because it calls on the unknown as the motivation to seek out ways of knowing what will hinder or advance the health of populations on the global level, despite the possibility of experiencing discomfort along this path. Ghosh's The Calcutta Chromosome help make my case by allowing its characters to encounter the sublime through embracing the unknown, within their interactions, along a single journey towards knowing the true purpose of Ronald Ross' discovery of malaria.
