Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Thought-provoking short essays by Britain's leading public philosopher that show us how to discover our own answers to life's challenges'While most philosophy is written in abstruse and ponderous prose, Grayling's is a model of clarity and elegance' The Times'An enthusiastic thinker who embraces humour, common sense and lucidity' Independent~ If beauty existed only in the eye of the beholder, would that make it an unimportant quality ~ Are human rights political ~ Can ethics be derived from evolution by natural selection ~ If both sides in a conflict can passionately believe that theirs is the just cause, does this mean that the idea of justice is empty ~ Does being happy make us good And does being good make us happy ~ Are human beings especially prone to self-deception As in his previous books of popular philosophy, including the best-selling The Reason of Things and The Meaning of Things, rather than presenting a set of categorical answers Grayling offers instead suggestions for how to think about every aspect of a question, and arrive at one's own conclusions.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In July 1888, fourteen hundred women and girls employed by the matchmakers Bryant and May walked out of their East End factory and into the history books. Louise Raw gives us a challenging new interpretation of events proving that the women themselves, not celebrity socialists like Annie Besant, began it. She provides unequivocal evidence to show that the matchwomen greatly influenced the Dock Strike of 1889, which until now was thought to be the key event of new unionism, and repositions them as the mothers of the modern labour movement. Returning to the stories of the women themselves, and by interviewing their relatives today, Raw is able to construct a new history which challenges existing accounts of the strike itself and radically alters the accepted history of the labour movement in Britain.
