Description
A unified theory of reasonableness - and how to be unreasonable for the right reasons. We're living in an age of division, where civil debate has gone out the window. Manners, order, and respect are being eroded. Kirsty Sedgman explores how unfairness and discrimination got baked into our social norms, dividing us along lines of gender, class, disability, sexuality, race. She argues that sometimes we need to act unreasonably to bring about positive change. By examining history and the world around us, Sedgman sets out to discover what's right in a complex and often contradictory landscape. This book offers a fresh perspective on reasonableness and its role in shaping our society.
