At today’s #EthicsOfAmbiguity reading group (convened by @jana_bacevic) contributors showed the book speaking to so many, and so varied, contemporary topics:
- post-Apartheid reckoning in South Africa
- Hindu nationalism
- BLM
- debates within feminism re femininity and oppression
- Scientism
- de-colonising charity
- The role of ‘lived experience’
- Liberal interventionism
- Free speech (/‘oppressing’ oppressors)
- US political gridlock
- Restore Trust…
Not precis as such, but I found the two videos on #EthicsOfAmbiguity here impressively clear: https://youtu.be/LPhpL-PrWXU
I’ve long thought that trying to prècis #philosophy as simply as possibly would be rewarding, but trying it out (on #DeBeauvoir’s #EthicsOfAmbiguity) has been eye-opening.
