Social (In)justice

Social (In)justice

Helen Pluckrose; James Lindsay

Pitchstone Publishing
2022
sidottu
This is a book about ideas. Specifically, this is a book about the evolution of a certain set of ideas, and how these ideas have come to dominate every important discussion about race, gender, and identity today. Have you heard someone refer to language as literal violence, or say that science is sexist? Or declare that being obese is healthy, or that there is no such thing as biological sex? Or that valuing hard work, individualism, and even punctuality is evidence of white supremacy? Or that only certain people—depending on their race, gender, or identity—should be allowed to wear certain clothes or hairstyles, cook certain foods, write certain characters, or play certain roles? If so, then you’ve encountered these ideas. As this reader-friendly adaptation of the internationally acclaimed bestseller Cynical Theories explains, however, the truth is that many of these ideas are recent inventions, are not grounded in scientific fact, and do not account for the sheer complexity of social reality and human experience. In fact, these beliefs often deny and even undermine the very principles on which liberal democratic societies are built—the very ideas that have allowed for unprecedented human progress, lifted standards of living across the world, and given us the opportunity and right to consider and debate these ideas in the first place! Ultimately, this is a book about what it truly means to have a just and equal society—and how best to get there.Cynical Theories is a Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller. Named a 2020 Book of the Year by The Times, Sunday Times, and Financial Times, it is being translated into more than fifteen languages.

BOOK OF THE YEAR in The Times, the Sunday Times and the Financial Times Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only white people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed so quickly to challenge the very logic of Western society? Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma behind these ideas, from its origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields. Today this dogma is recognisable as much by its effects, such as cancel culture and social-media pile-ons, as by its assertions, which are all too often taken as read: knowledge is a social construct; science and reason are tools of oppression; all human interactions are sites of oppressive power play; and language is dangerous. As they warn, the unchecked proliferation of these beliefs present a threat to liberal democracy. While acknowledging the need to challenge the complacency of those who think a just society has been fully achieved, Pluckrose and Lindsay break down how often-radical activist scholarship does far more harm than good, not least to those marginalised communities it claims to champion.

Cyniska teorier : så görs allt till en fråga om ras, genus och identitet - och blir skadligt för alla

Helen Pluckrose; James Lindsay; Svante Nordin

Har du hört att ord kan utgöra våld eller att vetenskap är sexistisk? Har du läst att vissa människor inte borde utöva yoga eller laga kinesisk mat för det är kulturell appropriering? Eller fått höra att det kan vara hälsosamt att vara överviktigt, att det inte finns något sådant som biologiskt kön eller att bara vita människor kan vara rasistiska? Är du förvirrad av dessa idéer och undrar över hur de så framgångsrikt lyckats utmana det västerländska samhällets sunda förnuft?Helen Pluckrose och James Lindsay berättar hur tillämpad kritisk teori, den dogmatiska lära som ligger till grund för dessa idéer har utvecklats – från det rudimentära ursprunget i fransk postmodernism och Frankfurtskola till dess förverkligande inom aktivistiska akademiska discipliner. Idag kan dessa teorier kännas igen lika mycket genom deras manifestationer, som t ex cancel culture, deplatforming och uthängning i sociala media, som av dess principer, vilka alltför ofta omfamnas som oproblematiska självklarheter i media: kunskap är en social konstruktion, vetenskap och förnuft är verktyg för förtryck eller all mänsklig interaktion handlar ytterst om förtryckande maktutövning, och ord är farliga.Författarna varnar för den okontrollerade spridningen av dessa idéer sprungna ur motupplysningen, eftersom de utgör ett hot – inte bara mot den liberala demokratin – utan även mot moderniteten i sig och dess humanistiska och vetenskapliga landvinningar. Samtidigt som de erkänner behovet av att ifrågasätta självgodheten hos dem som anser att vi redan skulle ha uppnått ett rättvist samhälle fullt ut, visar Pluckrose och Lindsay hur aktivisterna ofta gör betydligt mer skada än nytta. Inte minst för just de marginaliserade grupper som de påstår sig företräda. Författarna gör också reda för den alarmerande inkonsekventa och intoleranta moral som förespråkas.Endast genom en korrekt förståelse av dessa idéers innehåll och framväxt kan de som värdesätter vetenskap, förnuft och konsekvent liberal etik, med framgång utmana denna destruktiva och auktoritära ortodoxi inom akademin och samhället i stort

The Intensification and Reorientation of Sunni Jihad Ideology in the Crusader Period

The Intensification and Reorientation of Sunni Jihad Ideology in the Crusader Period

Suleiman Mourad; James Lindsay

BRILL
2015
nidottu
The Intensification and Reorientation of Sunni Jihad Ideology in the Crusader Period examines the important role of Ibn ?Asakir, including his Forty Hadiths for Inciting Jihad, in the promotion of a renewed jihad ideology in twelfth-century Damascus as part of sultan Nur al-Din’s agenda to revivify Sunnism and fight, under the banner of jihad, Crusader and Muslim opponents. This jihad vision was exclusively centered on selected quranic verses and prophetic hadiths. Ibn ?Asakir and other Sunni scholars in twelfth- and thirteenth-century Syria departed from the earlier scholarly focus on legal nuances and aversion to invoke jihad in intra-Muslim conflicts. They championed this intensification and reorientation of jihad ideology in mainstream Sunni scholarship, and gave it a lasting legacy.

Secession and State Creation

Secession and State Creation

James Ker-Lindsay; Mikulas Fabry

Oxford University Press Inc
2023
nidottu
What makes a state? This question has attracted more and more attention in recent years with Catalan's illegal vote for independence from Spain and Palestine's ongoing search for international recognition. And while Scotland chose to remain with the United Kingdom, discussions of independence have only continued as the ramifications of the later Brexit vote begin to set in. As James Ker-Lindsay and Mikulas Fabry show in this new addition to the What Everyone Needs to Know® series, the road to statehood does not run smooth. Declaring independence is only the first step; gaining both local and global acceptance is necessary before a state can become truly independent. The prospect of losing territory is usually not welcomed by the parent state, and any such threat to an existing culture and its economy is often met with resistance--armed or otherwise. Beyond this immediate conflict, the international community often refuses to accept new states without proof of defined territory, a settled population, and effective government, which frequently translates to a democratic one with demonstrated respect for human rights. Covering the legal, political, and practical issues of secession and state creation, Ker-Lindsay and Fabry provide an essential guide to this timely topic.

The Foreign Policy of Counter Secession

The Foreign Policy of Counter Secession

James Ker-Lindsay

Oxford University Press
2012
sidottu
How do states prevent the recognition of territories that have unilaterally declared independence? At a time when the issue of secession is becoming increasingly significant on the world stage, this is the first book to consider this crucial question. Analysing the efforts of the governments of Serbia, Georgia, and Cyprus to prevent the international recognition of Kosovo, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, and northern Cyprus the work draws on in depth interviews with a number of leading policy makers to explain how each of the countries has designed, developed, and implemented its counter secession strategies. After explaining how the principle of the territorial integrity of states has tended to take precedence over the right of self-determination, it examines the range of ways countries facing a separatist threat can prevent recognition by other states and considers the increasingly important role played by international and regional organisations, especially the United Nations, in the recognition process. Additionally, it shows how forms of legitimisation or acknowledgement are also central elements of any counter-recognition process, and why steps to prevent secessionist entities from participating in major sporting and cultural bodies are given so much attention. Finally, it questions the effects of these counter recognition efforts on attempts to solve these territorial conflicts. Drawing on history, politics, and international law this book is the first and only comprehensive account of this increasingly important field of foreign policy.

The Cyprus Problem

The Cyprus Problem

James Ker-Lindsay

Oxford University Press Inc
2011
nidottu
For nearly 60 years--from its uprising against British rule in the 1950s, to the bloody civil war between Greek and Turkish Cypriots in the 1960s, the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in the 1970s, and the United Nation's ongoing 30-year effort to reunite the island--the tiny Mediterranean nation of Cyprus has taken a disproportionate share of the international spotlight. And while it has been often in the news, accurate and impartial information on the conflict has been nearly impossible to obtain. In The Cyprus Problem, James Ker-Lindsay offers an incisive, even-handed account of the conflict. Ker-Lindsay covers all aspects of the Cyprus problem, placing it in historical context, addressing the situation as it now stands, and looking toward its possible resolution. The book begins with the origins of the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities as well as the other indigenous communities on the island (Maronites, Latin, Armenians, and Gypsies). Ker-Lindsay then examines the tensions that emerged between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots after independence in 1960 and the complex constitutional provisions and international treaties designed to safeguard the new state. He pays special attention to the Turkish invasion in 1974 and the subsequent efforts by the UN and the international community to reunite Cyprus. The book's final two chapters address a host of pressing issues that divide the two Cypriot communities, including key concerns over property, refugee returns, and the repatriation of settlers. Ker-Lindsay concludes by considering whether partition really is the best solution, as many observers increasingly suggest. Written by a leading expert, The Cyprus Problem brings much needed clarity and understanding to a conflict that has confounded observers and participants alike for decades.
