Synopsis

In "Lectures of Col. R. G. Ingersoll - Latest," prominent agnostic and political orator Robert Green Ingersoll presents a series of compelling lectures that delve into subjects ranging from religion and science to social justice and human rights. Ingersoll's literary style—marked by eloquence and vigorous rhetoric—places a strong emphasis on logic and reasoned argumentation, making complex ideas accessible to a wide audience. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a time marked by rapid scientific advancement and shifting societal norms, these lectures challenge established religious doctrines while advocating for a society grounded in ethical secularism. Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899), often referred to as the 'Great Agnostic,' emerged from a background steeped in both law and politics, serving as a Union colonel during the Civil War. His progressive views were cultivated through personal experiences of intolerance and his relentless pursuit of truth, which compelled him to question the dogmas of organized religion. Ingersoll was a passionate advocate for human rights, women's suffrage, and the separation of church and state, making these lectures not only a reflection of his beliefs but also a rallying cry for transformative social change. This book is highly recommended for those seeking a deeper understanding of the interplay between religion and rational thought, and for anyone interested in the evolution of social and political discourse. Ingersoll's incisive wit and passionate arguments will inspire readers to critically engage with the foundational issues of belief and ethics that remain relevant today.

Democratic Delusions - How the...

Natalie Fenton

A free media is inextricably linked to a healthy democracy, but in many parts of the world liberal democracies are deemed to be dying or on the demise—a demise that many forms of media have enabled while heralding themselves as democracy's savior. The hollowing out of democracy in these ways has left many people questioning the value of (neo)liberal democratic societies. What can we do about it? 
 
    
  
Democratic Delusions explores the potential of our media and tech systems to be democratic and contribute to a just and transformative democracy. This is only possible, Natalie Fenton argues, by first situating our political systems and mediated worlds within global capitalism. By interrogating different media and their relationship to seven key elements of democracy—power, participation, freedom, equality, public good, trust, and hope—the book asks: What is the response of society when the ability of news media to speak truth to power has been restricted by corporate logic? And, how do we tackle a deep-rooted market logic that shifts public debate towards private interest and marginalizes progressive perspectives? The book explores how these elements can be reimagined through newly conceived media and tech landscapes and, ultimately, what democracy might be in a future mediated world that places more power in the hands of more people.
