Yet Mill's apparent victory in the marketplace of ideas has numbed us to the power of his arguments. To many readers today, his views can seem utterly familiar, even banal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSharing insights from teaching Mill for many years, the eminent philosopher Philip Kitcher makes a cogent case for why we should read this nineteenth-century thinker now. He portrays Mill as a conflicted humanist who wrestled with problems that are equally urgent in our own time. Kitcher reflects on Mill's ideas in the context of contemporary ethical, social, and political issues such as COVID mandates, gun control, income inequality, gay rights, and climate change. More broadly, he shows, Mill's writings help us cultivate our own capacities for critical thought and ethical decision making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInviting readers into a conversation with Mill, \u003cem\u003eOn John Stuart Mill\u003c\/em\u003e shows that he supplies tools for thinking that are as valuable today as they were in the nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000693768428,"sku":"9780231204156","price":28.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8098263482270.jpg?v=1763297968"},{"product_id":"the-rich-and-the-poor-by-philip-kitcher-9781509563470","title":"The Rich and the Poor","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Rich and the Poor\u003c\/em\u003e is part chronicle, part analysis of a disturbing sea-change: the abandonment of ethics in public policy. Seventy years ago, it was possible for serious thinkers, including some in the governments of affluent nations, to consider policies for raising living standards worldwide. Today, by contrast, the principal policy questions revolve around how to stay on top in a dog-eat-dog world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhilip Kitcher, one of the world’s most eminent philosophers, offers a new account of how ethics and politics should mix. The world needs to explore and reprioritise ethical questions, through inclusive deliberation that is both factually informed and mutually engaged with other perspectives. Achieving that end is hard, but without aspiring to it, we are likely to condemn our successors to lives of great hardship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eClimate change demands global cooperation of a kind that can only be obtained by returning to ethical inquiry.
