Plato's Cave - Philosophy's...

Sophia Blackwell

Ever wondered why a rich Athenian who died 2,400 years ago still dominates Western thought? Or why your professor keeps talking about invisible triangles and prisoners staring at shadows? "Plato's Cave: Philosophy's First Reality Show" is the hilarious guide to Plato you never knew you needed. 
In this irreverent takedown of philosophy's founding father, author Sophia Blackwell translates Plato's lofty ideas into actual human language while mercilessly mocking his metaphysical obsessions, aristocratic biases, and suspicious fondness for "perfect forms." 
You'll discover: 
Why the Cave Allegory is history's most elaborate way of calling everyone else stupid 
How Plato convinced generations that imaginary triangles are more real than actual ones 
Why "platonic relationship" means the exact opposite of what Plato intended 
How one failed playwright created Western philosophy's most successful PR smear campaign 
Why we're still arguing about the same questions 2,400 years later 
Perfect for philosophy students suffering through required reading, professors with a sense of humor, or anyone who's ever wondered why we care what a privileged Athenian thought about reality. "Plato's Cave" proves that understanding philosophy doesn't have to be painful—though Plato himself might disagree.

After Savagery - Gaza Genocide...

Hamid Dabashi

Written during a genocide, After Savagery reveals the ethical bankruptcy of "Western philosophy" and how it undergirds the erasure of the colonized. 
The death toll in Gaza continues to rise―a cold, lifeless number representing entire communities crushed under the weight of settler colonialism.What remains of the theories we use to understand our world? With lyrical and lucid fury, Hamid Dabashi exposes the racist roots of Western philosophy, demanding that listeners overcome its pernicious phantom of relevance. Rather than perceiving "the West" as giving carte blanche to Israel, Dabashi insists that Israel must be understood as its quintessence.If Israel is the West and the West is Israel, then Palestine is the world and the world is Palestine. Holding to glimmers from revolutionary works of literature and film, Dabashi argues, in grief and love, that the wretched of the earth need poetry after barbarism—and that Palestine is the site of a liberated imagination.
