The essays collected here reveal the range and depth of her thinking, with Taylor tackling the rising popularity of socialism, the problem of automation, the politics of listening, the possibility of rights for the natural and non-human world, the future of the university, the temporal challenge of climate catastrophe, and more. Addressing some of the most pressing social problems of our day, Taylor invites us to imagine how things could be different while never losing sight of the strategic question of how change actually happens. Curious and searching, these historically informed and hopeful essays are as engaging as they are challenging and as urgent as they are timeless. Taylor 's unique philosophical style has a political edge that speaks directly to the growing conviction that a radical transformation of our economy and society is required. 651 0 $a North America $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Social change. 650 0 $a Social history. 650 0 $a Economics $x Sociological aspects. 650 0 $a Change (Psychology) 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210910010439.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210720010942.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D6AA425AE91F11EBA30FCA7D3BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
