Sociology

[close] In our increasingly connected world, we are better able to open up and listen to each other’s stories. This ability is critically important as we move forward as a global society. In this book club we will be reading books that look at various social justice issues, from anti-racism to the fat activist movement, from queer and trans issues to poverty, these stories are all interconnected and make us who we are as a world.

[close] The Pursuit of Thought, Culture & Identity. Plato’s Cave Advocates Free Speech, A Free Society & A Free Soul. The way to fight against “Hate” is the same throughout history; with FREE SPEECH, not Censorship & Cancel Culture. Liberals & Fundamentalists are only different sides of the same coin. Those who are for Censorship are not by definition “Liberal” or (set free). Both seek to repress Free Speech & Human Thought. Some Ideologies Absolutize Particulars & Collective (Culture, Society & Media) using Identity Politics to make Race & Gender Ultimate. Other Schools of Thought Absolutize Universals & Individual (Thought, Religion & Soul). These Ideologies are in conflict & set the stage for both Political & Religious Propaganda, Etc. It is a balance which makes for true progress throughout humanity, building Civilization & a Free Society. The best Philosophy is one of Paradox between Particulars & Universals; one that protects Free Speech, promotes A Free Society & A Free Soul.
