About this deal

Arianne wrestles with topics like is it sexist to say that “men are trash”?, can white people be victims of racism? and do we bear any individual responsibility for climate change?Many people give kneejerk answers that roughly align with their broader belief system, but flounder when asked for their reasoning, leading to a conversational stalemate—especially when faced with a political, generational, or cultural divide. Extreme Adventure: Bill Hillmann on His Memoir, The Pueblos, and His Fight to Defend Bull Running "The Pueblos: My Quest to Run 101 Bull Runs in the Small Towns of Spain" is a wild adventure into the culture of bull running. Show your working” is how the book starts, yet. The author shamelessly presents ideas of other thinkers and philosophers as her own all the way through the book. Join Dr Arianne Shahvisi, Senior Lecturer in Ethics at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS), for the launch of her new book, Arguing for a Better World. Arianne will be joined in conversation by Professor Bobbie Farsides, Professor of Clinical and Biomedical Ethics at BSMS, for readings from the book and a discussion on some of the topics. An Interrogation of Beauty: A Review of "Beautiful World, Where Are You" By Sally Rooney What we have in "Beautiful World, Where Are You," is a novel from a growing writer coming to terms with her recognition.

Men are trash อาจเป็นวลีที่ก้าวร้าวรุนแรง (offensive) แต่มันไม่ได้กดทับ (oppressive) เพราะผลกระทบต่อชีวิตผู้ชายค่อนข้างจำกัด ต่อให้วลีนี้กลายเป็นวลีฮิตก็ไม่ได้ทำให้ผู้ชายสูญเสียอะไร และที่มาของมันก็ไม่ได้เกิดจากความเกลียดชัง แต่เป็น demand for justice ที่ไม่เคยได้รับการตอบสนอง เพราะฟังก์ชันนึงของ Men are trash คือสาดสปอตไลท์ไปที่ฝั่งผู้กระทำ และย้ำเตือนว่าความรุนแรงเหล่านี้เป็นปัญหาของผู้ชายที่ผู้ชายต้องไปแก้ ไม่ใช่ให้เหยื่อปรับตัว Allows us to not only interrogate our own views, but to persuade others using reason and optimism. A must read’ Aaron Bastani, author of Fully Automated Luxury CommunismPolitical and generational divides often dictate how questions such as these are answered, and when asked most people give automatic answers that roughly align with the broader position they believe is right – though many flounder when asked to detail their reasoning. This creates cultural and political tribes, makes people nervous about engaging at all, or leads to the issues to be trivialised or attributed to the excessive sensitivity of ‘snowflakes’ to ‘identity politics’. An antidote to division: a book that arms you with the ability to build good arguments and find a path through conflict and confusion.

Many of us know what we think about inequality, but flounder when asked for our reasoning, leading to a conversational stalemate - especially when faced with a political, generational, or cultural divide. But living in echo chambers blunts our thinking, and if we can't persuade others, we have little hope of collectively bringing about change.

An insider’s account of the rampant misconduct within the Trump administration, including the tumult surrounding the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021. In Arguing for a Better World, philosopher Arianne Shahvisi draws on examples from everyday life to show us how to work through a set of thorny moral questions, equipping us to not only identify our positions but to carefully defend them. Gives progressives everything they need to defend their views in an increasingly polarized public sphere . . . Arguing for a Better World belongs on nightstands and in book clubs everywhere -- Carol Hay, author of Think Like a Feminist: The Philosophy Behind the RevolutionAllows us to not only interrogate our own views, but to persuade others using reason and optimism. A must read -- Aaron Bastani, author of Fully Automated Luxury Communism: A Manifesto Arianne Shahvisi's book cuts through the noise with an eminently sensible discussion of key contemporary 'culture war' issues. -- ALISON PHIPPS, author of Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism Allows us to not only interrogate our own views, but to persuade others using reason and optimism.

Learning to distinguish arguments that reveal (the potential for) unintended consequences we’d rather avoid and arguments that reveal worthwhile ways to improve things, from baseless assumptions, personal preferences and ideologically polarized points of view, is a skill-set we would do well to develop and integrate into our institutions, organizations, interpersonal relations and intra-psychic worlds. The circular logic of the argument is the key to plausible deniability inserted in every chapter of the book. The card “oh, this is a reverse racism, not racism”. Because there are always a lot of stereotypical groups above in the hierarchy of suffering.Is it sexist to say that “men are trash”? Can white people be victims of racism? Do we bear any individual responsibility for climate change? This brilliant and very enjoyable book brings cooling clarity and patient empathy to the noise and heat of today's so-called 'Culture Wars'. This is insightful explication at its best, essential reading for anyone engaged with many of today's most pressing public arguments -- Priyamvada Gopal, Author of INSURGENT EMPIRE PDF / EPUB File Name: Arguing_for_a_Better_World_-_Arianne_Shahvisi.pdf, Arguing_for_a_Better_World_-_Arianne_Shahvisi.epub Divide and conquer so the old adage goes. An effective strategy but only in world with people willing to concede to interpreting life through a low resolution, binary lens.

Raises important questions, but seems fixated on everything anecdotally wrong in the world excessively, akin to pharmaceutical companies inflating the dangers of curses or disease, or defense contractors exaggerating and clamoring for war. Seems to add fuel to a fire and increase polarity and divisiveness intentionally to validate her perspective, versus actually developing a framework to build meaningful coalitions that can be true change agents. Firmly grounded in the philosophical spirit of critical inquiry, this entry masterfully explores nuance without losing sight of its practical stance. This is a fascinating, pragmatic resource for those who want to make a difference but don’t know where to start.”— Publishers WeeklyA philosophy professor attempts a cooler approach to divisive political questions.In chapters with intriguing titles like 'Can You Be Racist to a White Person?' 'Is It Sexist To Say Men Are Trash?' and 'Has Political Correctness Gone Too Far?' Shahvisi attempts not 'to be "objective" or "apolitical,"if such a thing were even possible,' but to 'make my reasoning clear enough that those who disagree with me will at least see where we part ways.'"— Kirkus Review From the Publisher Polarization is prolific and its consequences increasingly clear. Now, more than ever, we need more sophisticated, high resolution ways to pursue truthfulness, extract the essential value lying at the heart of different experiences and points of view, and synergize distributed wisdom to make smarter decisions together. We need each other. We cannot navigate this complexity effectively, alone.
