ReviewsSouthwell's choice of subjects makes this book an engaging way to access complex subjects. His writing is informative and never dry. His excellent illustrations lighten things further. All too often, philosophical works are either dry or abstract, often both. This book is never dull... I have found it impossible to only read a single essay. Many of them reference each other, and it's easy to become caught up in what you're reading, and head off in search of just one more philosophical nugget.
SynopsisHave you ever wondered what Karl Marx might have to say about your desire for a bigger house? Or whether you deserve a raise? And what Kant might say about your addiction to social media? When it comes to the really important questions, who better to ask than the greatest political minds in history. What Would Marx Do? uses 40 everyday questions and problems as springboards for exploring the great questions of our time, while giving you a crash course in the theories and ideas of the greatest political philosophers of all time., Get life advice and a crash course on social philosophy from the great minds of every generation. The writings of Karl Marx have seen a resurgence in popularity. After all, he lived in an uncannily familiar time, one of concentrated wealth and ultra-conservatism that oppressed the majority economically and politically. It is a time that challenges the best of us, so perhaps it is no surprise that people would turn to him for insight. Marx is one of history's noted thinkers who devised philosophical foundations upon which rest solutions to all variety of human dilemmas. What Would Marx Do? uses 40 everyday questions as springboards to explore Marx's theories and those of the other great political and social theorists, and in the process, help us make difficult decisions. What Would Marx Do? presents 40 situations that we might encounter which challenge our morality, free will and responsibility to society. For example: Should I bother to vote? Who should look after the baby? Do you earn enough? My car has just been stolen! But can I hold the thieves responsible? Should I watch what I say on Twitter?
