{"product_id":"9781509564101","title":"Left Is Not Woke","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you're woke, you're left. If you're left, you're woke. We blur the terms, assuming that if you're one you must be the other. That, Susan Neiman argues, is a dangerous mistake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The confusion arises because woke is fuelled by traditionally leftwing emotions: the wish to stand with the oppressed and marginalized, to address historic crimes. But those emotions are undermined by widespread philosophical assumptions with reactionary sources. As a result, wokeism conflicts with ideas that have guided the left for more than 200 years: a commitment to universalism, a firm distinction between justice and power, and a belief in the possibility of progress. Without these ideas, the woke will continue to undermine their own goals and drift, inexorably and unintentionally, towards the right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the world's leading philosophical voices, Neiman calls with passion and power for the left to return to the ideals that built the best of the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Also available as an audiobook narrated by the author.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45366301163599,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":523.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781509564101","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
