Influenced by works such as Don Juan and the novels of Kafka, these essays begin with a meditation on suicide; the question of living or not living in a universe devoid of order or meaning.

Book Synopsis Marx, Dead and Alive by : Andy Merrifield
Download or read book Marx, Dead and Alive written by Andy Merrifield and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A contemporary interrogation of Marx’s masterwork Karl Marx saw the ruling class as a sorcerer, no longer able to control the ominous powers it has summoned from the netherworld. Today, in an age spawning the likes of Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, our society has never before been governed by so many conjuring tricks, with collusions and conspiracies, fake news and endless sleights of the economic and political hand. And yet, contends Andy Merrifield, as our modern lives become ever more mist-enveloped, the works of Marx can help us penetrate the fog. In Marx, Dead and Alive—a book that begins and ends beside Marx’s recently violated London graveside—Merrifield makes a spirited case for a critical thinker who can still offer people a route toward personal and social authenticity. Bolstering his argument with fascinating examples of literature and history, from Shakespeare and Beckett, to the Luddites and the Black Panthers, Merrifield demonstrates how Marx can reveal our individual lives to us within a collective perspective—and within a historical continuum. Who we are now hinges on who we once were—and who we might become. This, at a time when our value-system is undergoing core “post-truth” meltdown.

Book Synopsis Teach Like Nobody's Watching by : Mark Enser
Download or read book Teach Like Nobody's Watching written by Mark Enser and published by . This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenges teachers to embrace their professional agency in order to ensure that their pupils get the excellent education they deserve. At a time when schools are calling out for more autonomy and trust Mark Enser poses teachers the pivotal question, "How would you teach if nobody was watching?" and empowers them with the tools and confidence to do just that. Mark argues that a quality education is rooted in simplicity. In this book he methodically strips away the layers of contradictory pedagogical advice that educators have received over the years and lends weight to the three key pillars that underpin effective, efficient teaching: the lesson, the curriculum and the school's support structure. Teach Like Nobody's Watching explores these three core elements in detail, and presents teachers with a range of practical strategies to help them cultivate a culture of excellent learning in their schools and classrooms.

Book Synopsis Foucault and Nietzsche by : Joseph Westfall
Download or read book Foucault and Nietzsche written by Joseph Westfall and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foucault's intellectual indebtedness to Nietzsche is apparent in his writing, yet the precise nature, extent, and nuances of that debt are seldom explored. Foucault himself seems sometimes to claim that his approach is essentially Nietzschean, and sometimes to insist that he amounts to a radical break with Nietzsche. This volume is the first of its kind, presenting the relationship between these two thinkers on elements of contemporary culture that they shared interests in, including the nature of life in the modern world, philosophy as a way of life, and the ways in which we ought to read and write about other philosophers. The contributing authors are leading figures in Foucault and Nietzsche studies, and their contributions reflect the diversity of approaches possible in coming to terms with the Foucault-Nietzsche relationship. Specific points of comparison include Foucault and Nietzsche's differing understandings of the Death of God; art and aesthetics; power; writing and authorship; politics and society; the history of ideas; genealogy and archaeology; and the evolution of knowledge.

Book Synopsis American Democracy in Crisis by : Jeanne Sheehan
Download or read book American Democracy in Crisis written by Jeanne Sheehan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public disenchantment with and distrust of American government is at an all-time high and who can blame them? In the face of widespread challenges—everything from record levels of personal and national debt and the sky high cost of education, to gun violence, racial discrimination, an immigration crisis, overpriced pharmaceuticals, and much more—the government seems paralyzed and unable to act, the most recent example being Covid-19. It’s the deadliest pandemic in over a century. In addition to an unimaginable sick and death toll, it has left more than thirty million Americans unemployed. Despite this, Washington let the first round of supplemental unemployment benefits run out and for more than a month were unable to agree on a bill to help those suffering. This book explains why we are in this situation, why the government is unable to respond to key challenges, and what we can do to right the ship. It requires that readers “upstream,” stop blaming the individuals in office and instead look at the root cause of the problem. The real culprit is the system; it was designed to protect liberty and structured accordingly. As a result, however, it has left us with a government that is not responsive, largely unaccountable, and often ineffective. This is not an accident; it is by design. Changing the way our government operates requires rethinking its primary goal(s) and then restructuring to meet them. To this end, this book offers specific reform proposals to restructure the government and in the process make it more accountable, effective, and responsive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It scares the hell out of me. Every day, politics gets closer to the reality you project.”—Bob Cone, inventor of Liquid LightThe second strike is on.John Galt's strike of the “men of the mind” brought down Roger Thompson's dictatorship and ushered in a conservative dream: no taxes, regulations, or social programs. The end of government services such as policing, firefighting, and infrastructure-building has created a vacuum filled by unscrupulous and unregulated businesses that few can afford. With no safety or labor standards, most Americans have abandoned their homes to work several jobs in the cities. After eight years of living in a dog-eat-dog wasteland, America has elected liberal Senator Laurence Sterling (D-VT) president.Mere days before Sterling's inauguration, twenty-six-year-old World Times reporter Evelyn Riley hears that in recent months both absenteeism and productivity have risen at General Motors, one of the two remaining automobile manufacturers in Detroit, and decides to investigate. Her mother's death decades before reminds her daily of the importance of family and human connections. Little does Evelyn know that John Galt is planning his return to fight Sterling, or that this time a new generation of labor leaders is preparing a strike of its own.“If you have ever read Atlas Shrugged, whether you liked it or not, you really should read this book.”—David Scott Moyer “I really like your quote 'I live for Humanity, and I ask Humanity to live for me (and for everyone else).' That's the way it should be.”—Paul Buchheit, professor of economic justice at DePaul UniversityFor more information, please view sisyphusshruggedbook.com or robertpeate.com.
