Описание:
The problem of how we are to live together in morally and culturally diverse democratic societies is central to modern life. Over the last thirty years, an extensive philosophical literature has developed around the idea of toleration as a way of engaging with that problem. However, recent years have witnessed a growing backlash against the idea of toleration, which is often considered too 'thin', or too unambitious an aspiration for liberal democracy. This timely collection of essays from an international field of experts in the history and philosophy of toleration takes stock of this debate and offers a distinctive reassessment of the place of toleration in contemporary political life. Against the general climate of scepticism, the message that emerges from these essays is that toleration remains an extremely powerful idea, and one that must remain central to the political enterprise of forging social unity amid diversity in the twenty-first century.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Review of Social and Political Philosophy.

Описание:
Ethics, Cultural Criticism
The critical social philosopher is the auditor-general of contemporary society and culture. These essays speak for themselves. Their content may be popular, but their reflections may not be. By promoting our abject failures as successes - my children respect me, our schools are superior, we love nature, we defend freedom, our God is great, and so on - we have found a way to bypass the critical reality check that the wider world around us would present.
We have found a way to escape the critical human freedom that is our universal birthright. This is where the auditor of the human condition, with only hope and a narrow glance to make him equal to that unreality, steps in. If the book's essays and editorials have any merit, it must fall on the side of the world as it is, and not as we, with desperation and misplaced conviction, with jealousy and even rage, desire it to be.
In thirty essays and editorials written between 2016 and 2020, social philosopher G.V. Loewen examines some of our most pressing contemporary issues, finding that they are linked, inevitably and inextricably, with some of the most profound and perennial aspects of the human condition.
With wit, candor and compassion, these short analyses connect our often short-circuited attention to the deeper meaning of the state of the world, spanning the conflicts of nations, sexual identity politics, the climate crisis, global inequalities, the education and raising of children, and our understanding of the darker recesses of our own selfhood.
Author Bio:
G.V. Loewen is the author of forty books on ethics, education, religion, aesthetics, health and social theory, and more recently, metaphysical adventure fiction. He was a professor of the interdisciplinary human sciences for two decades.
In Constructive Feminism, Daphne Spain examines the deliberate and unintended spatial consequences of feminism's second wave, a social movement dedicated to reconfiguring power relations between women and men. Placing the women's movement of the 1970s in the context of other social movements that have changed the use of urban space, Spain argues that reform feminists used the legal system to end the mandatory segregation of women and men in public institutions, while radical activists created small-scale places that gave women the confidence to claim their rights to the public sphere.Women’s centers, bookstores, health clinics, and domestic violence shelters established feminist places for women’s liberation in Boston, Los Angeles, and many other cities. Unable to afford their own buildings, radicals adapted existing structures to serve as women’s centers that fostered autonomy, health clinics that promoted reproductive rights, bookstores that connected women to feminist thought, and domestic violence shelters that protected their bodily integrity. Legal equal opportunity reforms and daily practices of liberation enhanced women’s choices in education and occupations. Once the majority of wives and mothers had joined the labor force, by the mid-1980s, new buildings began to emerge that substituted for the unpaid domestic tasks once performed in the home. Fast food franchises, childcare facilities, adult day centers, and hospices were among the inadvertent spatial consequences of the second wave.

Beginning in the late 1970s, activists from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro challenged the conditions—such as limited access to security, sanitation, public education, and formal employment—that separated favela residents from Rio's other citizens. The activists built a movement that helped to push the nation toward redemocratization. They joined with political allies in an effort to institute an ambitious slate of municipal reforms. Those measures ultimately fell short of aspirations, and soon the reformers were struggling to hold together a fraying coalition. Rio was bankrupted by natural disasters and hyperinflation and ravaged by drug wars. Well-armed drug traffickers had become the new lords of the favelas, protecting their turf through violence and patronage. By the early 1990s, the promise of the favela residents' mobilization of the late 1970s and early 1980s seemed out of reach. Yet the aspirations that fueled that mobilization have endured, and its legacy continues to shape favela politics in Rio de Janeiro.
