Summary

In "The Abolition Fight in England," Thomas Clarkson meticulously chronicles the arduous struggle against the transatlantic slave trade, blending rigorous historical research with impassioned prose. Published in 1808, the book is an epitome of Enlightenment thought, rich with empirical data and personal testimonies that illuminate the moral and ethical dimensions of abolitionism. Clarkson's literary style is characterized by a compelling narrative interspersed with persuasive rhetoric, aiming to engage both the intellect and the emotions of his readers during a time of escalating moral awareness regarding slavery. Thomas Clarkson, a prominent English abolitionist and social reformer, was profoundly influenced by his Quaker upbringing and a fervent commitment to social justice. His dedication to the abolitionist cause stemmed from a chance encounter with a ship's captain who recounted the horrors of the slave trade. This pivotal moment ignited Clarkson's lifelong mission, marked by extensive travels and meticulous research, ultimately leading to pivotal activism that swayed public opinion. This book is indispensable for anyone interested in social justice, the history of human rights, and the interplay of morality and law. Clarkson invites readers to grapple with the complexities of moral action, making it a profound exploration of conscience and activism that resonates with contemporary struggles for equality and justice.

    Science and politics have collaborated throughout human history and science is repeatedly invoked today in political debates, from pandemic management to climate change. 
 
 
 
Leading policy analyst Geoff Mulgan here calls attention to the growing frictions caused by the expanding—and unsolicited—authority being heaped upon science. As science increasingly competes with politics, a defined plan of cooperation is urgently needed. 
 
 
 
Mulgan outlines science and politics as two distinct, imperfect forms of collective intelligence. Whereas science is ordered around what we know and what is, politics engages what we feel and what matters. Politics functions because it recognizes the limits of power, the need for delegation and expert advice. The intellectual logic of science, on the other hand, focuses on detail and depth, struggling to place its knowledge in wider contexts. The crux of the matter, Mulgan argues, is how can we ensure that crucial decisions taken in democracies are both well informed and legitimate? 
 
 
 
Rooted in understanding that science and politics are not just fields of ideas but also fields of action, this book proposes ways to ensure that the two work effectively together.
