Many people give kneejerk answers that roughly align with their broader belief system, but flounder when asked for their reasoning, leading to a conversational stalemate--especially when faced with a political, generational, or cultural divide. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe truth is that our answers to these questions almost always rely on unexamined assumptions. In \u003ci\u003eArguing for a Better World\u003c\/i\u003e, philosopher Arianne Shahvisi shows us how to work through thorny moral questions by examining their parts in broad daylight, equipping us to not only identify our own positions but to defend them as well. This book demonstrates the relevance of philosophy to our everyday lives, and offers some clear-eyed tools to those who want to learn how to better fight for justice and liberation for all.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eArianne Shahvisi is a Kurdish-British writer and academic philosopher.
