Running through the book is the big question of how political attitudes and actions are philosophically grounded: why do people believe what they do?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFramed as a debate between liberal progressivism and the Marxist-informed left, and between liberal progressives and the non-university-educated working class, an informant named \"Gord\" is introduced. Drawing on his life experience he acts as a guide into the worlds of liberal progressivism, the non-university-educated working class, and the Marxist-informed intellectual-left modes of existence that he has personally experienced. In 11 chapters, the book presents an appreciation of nonbinary relationships, open-ended dialectics, complex systems and equilibrium theory, and the importance of emotions in political life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough a transdisciplinary approach, the book delves into the interconnecting the worlds of politics, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, history, and epistemology to produce a celebration of political theory which deserves to be widely read by students, scholars and activists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56517570232694,"sku":"9780367626556","price":52.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37588057_b4b05707-ea2b-4a0c-95c1-5ec8243d73a2.jpg?v=1762190258","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780367626556-liberal-progressivism","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
