A must read Aaron Bastani, author of Fully Automated Luxury CommunismCan white people be victims of racism?Is it sexist to say men are trash?Should we worry about cancel culture?Tired of having the same old arguments? Kicking yourself for not being able to justify your views? Wondering whether individuals can bring about meaningful change?Now imagine that instead of losing another hour of your life in a social media spat or knowing that the only way to make it through lunch was by biting your tongue, you could find a way to talk about injustice - and, just possibly, change someones mind.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 cant persuade others, we have little hope of collectively bringing about change.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.Logical, readable, authoritative . . .

Review Often entertaining and funny; always concise, exacting, logical, readable, authoritative and un-put-downable. An everyday manual on how oppression came about, how it works, why it persists, and how to defeat it -- Danny Dorling, author of Injustice: Why Social Inequality Still Persists and A Better PoliticsWe live in an age of information overload, and unfortunately, information is often misinformation. We often dont know how to think about social problems, let alone what to think. Arianne Shahvisis book cuts through the noise with an eminently sensible discussion of key contemporary culture war issues. It shows us how philosophy, far from being irrelevant, is essential for navigating todays world of client journalism-manufactured, social media-manipulated outrage. It also provides much-needed reassurance that in the struggle to create a better world, being able to show our workings is much more important than always being right -- ALISON PHIPPS, author of Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream FeminismThis brilliant and very enjoyable book brings cooling clarity and patient empathy to the noise and heat of todays so-called Culture Wars. This is insightful explication at its best, essential reading for anyone engaged with many of todays most pressing public arguments -- Priyamvada Gopal, Author of INSURGENT EMPIREGives progressives everything they need to defend their views in an increasingly polarized public sphere . . .
