About this deal

A Audible é um serviço de entretenimento em áudio que oferece aos assinantes acesso ilimitado a mais de 100 mil audiolivros, além da possibilidade de adquirir um catálogo adicional de mais de 300 mil títulos de audiolivros com desconto. As such this is one of those books that some may toss across the room one minute, then hug the next. I think those who don't have too much of a theoretical knowledge to begin with may find this difficult.

Moving on on the ladder of conscious evolution (which includes integrating polarities) means opening our hearts and connect with open hearts.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. It provides clear philosophical arguments and reasoning to enable me articulate how systemic racism is dividing our society. Dillard’s story reflects maturity and understanding from someone who was forced to mature and understand too much too soon. If we truly hope to participate in the political and moral quandaries of our time, Shahvisi argues, we need to be able to articulate our beliefs and values, and also why we believe them.

Her epigraph comes from Adorno and it’s a doozy: “The splinter in your eye is the best magnifying glass. Arianne was joined in conversation by Bobbie Farsides, Professor of Clinical and Biomedical Ethics at BSMS, for readings from the book and a discussion on some of the topics. Arianne Shahvisi's book cuts through the noise with an eminently sensible discussion of key contemporary 'culture war' issues . In this incisive debut, Shahvisi, a senior ethics lecturer at the Brighton and Sussex medical school, contends that philosophy “can help us to uncover and confront” ideology that underlies various forms of disempowerment and oppression. She wields a rhetorical Armalite aimed squarely at the Grand Poobahs of contemporary life and their dog-whistle politics.There are those who think regional accents hold people back (note how they describe them as “thick”) and that they should lose them.

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'. Often entertaining and funny; always concise, exacting, logical, readable, authoritative and un-put-downable. The book tackles some of the liveliest controversies of the moment, offering clear-eyed arguments to those who want to learn how to better fight social justice.The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused. She teaches philosophy at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School and has written essays for the London Review of Books , the Guardian , the Independent , and the Economist . FIRST off, let’s acknowledge the irony in a male reviewer banging on about a book with chapter titles like “Where Does a Mansplainer Get His Water? This book demonstrates the relevance of philosophy to our everyday lives, and offers some clear-eyed tools to those who want to learn how to better fight for justice and liberation for all.
