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 \u003cp\u003eThe 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 One 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509564101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176","brand":"Susan Neiman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43600377446581,"sku":"9781509564101","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_61e4ff8d-8dc1-42dd-9c93-77b74f5c34b0.jpg?v=1707208324","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/left-is-not-woke-9781509564101","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
