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\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\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gordon Hak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367616696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367616694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Gordon Hak","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136021410047,"sku":"9780367616694","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b608d89-ffac-43b6-b253-8bfd9e2f005b.jpg?v=1770159985","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/liberal-progressivism-gordon-hak-9780367616694","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
