Product Description
Synopsis
The terms "left" and "right" pervade all our discussions of politics. But do they mean anything any more? And is it really satisfactory to reduce all our political debate to these two terms? Furedi shows how contemporary and recent developments, including the Cold War, the Culture Wars and Third Way-type managerialism, have created the need for a new conception of politics with an adequate conception of humanity - one that "remoralises" politics by taking humans seriously, recognises the centrality of morality and discussions of right and wrong, and utilises our imaginations. Furedi proposes a new, and inevitably controversial, humanist politics to escape the trap of 20th century political ideology.
About the Author
Professor of Sociology at University of Kent (UK). Author of numerous books including Cntinuum's "Where have all the intellectuals gone?" and "Culture of Fear", "Therapy Culture" (Routledge) and "Paranoid Parenting" (Penguin/Viking).
