    The Will to Believe

    "The Will to Believe" is a philosophical essay written by William James in 1896. The essay is a defense of the concept of religious faith and argues that belief can be justified even in the absence of objective evidence. 
    James argues that there are some beliefs, such as religious beliefs, that cannot be proven or disproven by empirical evidence. He contends that in cases where there is insufficient evidence to support a belief, individuals are justified in using their will to believe in order to hold on to what they consider to be important or valuable beliefs. 
    James also argues that the act of believing itself can have positive effects on an individual's life. Belief can provide a sense of meaning and purpose, as well as a framework for understanding the world. Furthermore, James contends that individuals who possess a strong will to believe are more likely to succeed in achieving their goals, as they are more motivated and focused. 
    "The Will to Believe" was a controversial work in its time, and it continues to be debated by philosophers and scholars today. While some have criticized James's arguments for promoting irrationality and dogmatism, others have praised his defense of personal autonomy and individual freedom of thought. Overall, "The Will to Believe" is an important contribution to the ongoing philosophical discourse on the nature of belief and faith.

    A Short History of Trans Misogyny

    "A beautifully written and argued book." —Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby 
     
     
     
    There is no shortage of voices demanding everyone pay attention to the violence trans women suffer. But one frighteningly basic question seems never to be answered: why does it happen? If men are not inherently evil and trans women do not intrinsically invite reprisal—which would make violence unstoppable—then the psychology of that violence had to arise at a certain place and time. The trans panic had to be invented. 
     
     
     
    Award-winning historian Jules Gill-Peterson takes us from the bustling port cities of New York and New Orleans to the streets of London and Paris in search of the emergence of modern trans misogyny. She connects the colonial and military districts of the British Raj, the Philippines, and Hawai'i to the lively travesti communities of Latin America, where state violence has stamped a trans label on vastly different ways of life. Weaving together the stories of historical figures in a richly detailed narrative, the book shows how trans femininity emerged under colonial governments, the sex work industry, the policing of urban public spaces, and the area between the formal and informal economy. A Short History of Trans Misogyny is the first book to explain why trans women are burdened by such a weight of injustice and hatred.
