Download or read book Politics and Passion written by Michael Walzer and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberalism is egalitarian in principle, but why doesn’t it do more to promote equality in practice? In this book, the distinguished political philosopher Michael Walzer offers a critique of liberal theory and demonstrates that crucial realities have been submerged in the evolution of contemporary liberal thought. In the standard versions of liberal theory, autonomous individuals deliberate about what ought to be done—but in the real world, citizens also organize, mobilize, bargain, and lobby. The real world is more contentious than deliberative. Ranging over hotly contested issues including multiculturalism, pluralism, difference, civil society, and racial and gender justice, Walzer suggests ways in which liberal theory might be revised to make it more hospitable to the claims of equality. Combining profound learning with practical wisdom, Michael Walzer offers a provocative reappraisal of the core tenets of liberal thought. Politics and Passion will be required reading for anyone interested in social justice—and the means by which we seek to achieve it.

Download or read book We Want Equality written by C. Douglas Love and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an extreme cultural movement working to change the fabric of this country. It is loud, obnoxious, unforgiving and often violent. It speaks of love, diversity and inclusion but that is a façade. In reality, its sole purpose is to divide and conquer. Anyone who disagrees is the enemy and must be quelled. This movement is driven on hate, a false sense of moral superiority and a healthy dose of unearned entitlement. The shocking part is; it's not new.This leftist movement has existed in some form for nearly 100 years. It lay dormant for decades, building a base on the fringes. It has been steadily on the rise since the 1960s. It picked up momentum in the 1980s as the country moved away from traditional norms and adopted a more nihilistic, secular and selfish approach to life.Today, with the advent of smart phones, reality TV and instant information, the culture has taken a nosedive. People are more depressed, angrier and have fewer personal interactions. They have less drive but a greater desire to be appreciated. They know far less than previous generations but have greater self-esteem. Add to this our stark divide caused by the current political climate. Where do we go from here?This book sounds the alarm of the current cultural crisis we face. The goal is to get people to wake up and see all that's wrong with our current culture and join others in reversing the dark trend.

Download or read book We Want Equality written by C. Douglas Love and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people say that they want equality, but their actions don't support their claim. They make demands that can only be achieved by taking from others. This is no way to achieve equality.We Want EQUALITY, delves into the issues of inequality, discussing hard truths and explaining why human deficiencies cannot be corrected through legislation.In the book, Love starts with a history lesson, examining past horrors and showing why human nature is an impediment to true equality. Armed with logic, Love explains why our problem is cultural, not inequality. He demonstrates how the decline of traditional values has led to pervasive nihilism and feelings of entitlement.Next, Love deftly addresses four areas that encapsulate perceived inequality: Race, Income, Gender and Religion. The book answers important questions like: Why asking racists to fix racism gets you nowhere?Why reparations are better than affirmative action?Are the police hunting down black men?Why CEO salaries are not the problem?Why trying to 'fix' boys will backfire?Why the Left defends Islam?We Want EQUALITY discusses the strong and growing role the media, entertainment, big business and politicians play in the diminution of traditional values. Love then sites numerous examples of how cultural manipulation by the Left is hurting the country. Finally, he provides steps we can take to bring the country back from the brink.Love makes the argument for a union between liberals and conservatives against a common enemy, the Left. Liberals, he argues, should push back against the extreme arguments and behavior of the Left. Where they feel there are injustices that need to be addressed, he gives them suggestions to improve conditions without relying solely on government solutions.For conservatives, the book is an instructional manual on how to advance conservative principles without being labeled as insensitive or a racist. It also gives examples of how to respond to leftist ideas and what to do when they try to make every conversation about Trump.We Want Equality is the book we need for the current political climate. It is painfully honest and bound to invoke a visceral reaction in everyone who reads it. Readers will walk away with a renewed desire for clear and honest exchange of ideas. It is a call to the famed 'silent majority', alerting them that if they remain silent, they will no longer be the majority

This book was released on 2014-06-23 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Francis Parkman Prize, Society of American Historians “A tour de force. . . . No one has ever written a book on the Declaration quite like this one.”—Gordon Wood, New York Review of Books Featured on the front page of the New York Times, Our Declaration is already regarded as a seminal work that reinterprets the promise of American democracy through our founding text. Combining a personal account of teaching the Declaration with a vivid evocation of the colonial world between 1774 and 1777, Allen, a political philosopher renowned for her work on justice and citizenship reveals our nation’s founding text to be an animating force that not only changed the world more than two-hundred years ago, but also still can. Challenging conventional wisdom, she boldly makes the case that the Declaration is a document as much about political equality as about individual liberty. Beautifully illustrated throughout, Our Declaration is an “uncommonly elegant, incisive, and often poetic primer on America’s cardinal text” (David M. Kennedy).

Download or read book Rescuing Justice and Equality written by G. A. Cohen and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this stimulating work of political philosophy, acclaimed philosopher G. A. Cohen sets out to rescue the egalitarian thesis that in a society in which distributive justice prevails, people’s material prospects are roughly equal. Arguing against the Rawlsian version of a just society, Cohen demonstrates that distributive justice does not tolerate deep inequality. In the course of providing a deep and sophisticated critique of Rawls’s theory of justice, Cohen demonstrates that questions of distributive justice arise not only for the state but also for people in their daily lives. The right rules for the macro scale of public institutions and policies also apply, with suitable adjustments, to the micro level of individual decision-making. Cohen also charges Rawls’s constructivism with systematically conflating the concept of justice with other concepts. Within the Rawlsian architectonic, justice is not distinguished either from other values or from optimal rules of social regulation. The elimination of those conflations brings justice closer to equality.

Download or read book Equality and Revolution written by Rochelle Goldberg Ruthchild and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 20, 1917, Russia became the world's first major power to grant women the right to vote and hold public office. Yet in the wake of the October Revolution later that year, the foundational organizations and individuals who pioneered the suffragist cause were all but erased from Russian history. The women's movement, when mentioned at all, is portrayed as rooted in the elitist and bourgeois culture of the tsarist era, meaningless to proletarian and peasant women, and counter to socialist ideology. Rochelle Goldberg Ruthchild reveals that Russian feminists in fact appealed to all classes and were an integral force for revolution and social change, particularly during the monumental uprisings of 1905-1917. Ruthchild offers a telling examination of the social dynamics in imperialist Russia that fostered a growing feminist movement. Based upon extensive archival research in six countries, she analyzes the backgrounds, motivations, methods, activism, and organizational networks of early Russian feminists, revealing the foundations of a powerful feminist intelligentsia that came to challenge, and eventually bring down, the patriarchal tsarist regime.Ruthchild profiles the individual women (and a few men) who were vital to the feminist struggle, as well as the major conferences, publications, and organizations that promoted the cause. She documents political debates on the acceptance of women's suffrage and rights, and follows each party's attempt to woo feminist constituencies despite their fear of women gaining too much political power. Ruthchild also compares and contrasts the Russian movement to those in Britain, China, Germany, France, and the United States. Equality and Revolution offers an original and revisionist study of the struggle for women's political rights in late imperial Russia, and presents a significant reinterpretation of a decisive period of Russian-and world-history.

Download or read book The Trouble with Passion written by Erin Cech and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Probing the ominous side of career advice to "follow your passion," this data-driven study explains how the passion principle fails us and perpetuates inequality by class, gender, and race; and it suggests how we can reconfigure our relationships to paid work. "Follow your passion" is a popular mantra for career decision-making in the United States. Passion-seeking seems like a promising path for avoiding the potential drudgery of a life of paid work, but this "passion principle"—seductive as it is—does not universally translate. The Trouble with Passion reveals the significant downside of the passion principle: the concept helps culturally legitimize and reproduce an exploited, overworked white-collar labor force and broadly serves to reinforce class, race, and gender segregation and inequality. Grounding her investigation in the paradoxical tensions between capitalism's demand for ideal workers and our cultural expectations for self-expression, sociologist Erin A. Cech draws on interviews that follow students from college into the workforce, surveys of US workers, and experimental data to explain why the passion principle is such an attractive, if deceptive, career decision-making mantra, particularly for the college educated. Passion-seeking presumes middle-class safety nets and springboards and penalizes first-generation and working-class young adults who seek passion without them. The ripple effects of this mantra undermine the promise of college as a tool for social and economic mobility. The passion principle also feeds into a culture of overwork, encouraging white-collar workers to tolerate precarious employment and gladly sacrifice time, money, and leisure for work they are passionate about. And potential employers covet, but won't compensate, passion among job applicants. This book asks, What does it take to center passion in career decisions? Who gets ahead and who gets left behind by passion-seeking? The Trouble with Passion calls for citizens, educators, college administrators, and industry leaders to reconsider how we think about good jobs and, by extension, good lives.
