c2012., Adult, Biblioasis Call No: 306.2 K52u Edition: 1st ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Forget the TV shows and doomsday scenarios; when it comes to democracy, the zombie apocalypse may already be here. Since the publication of A Civil Tongue (1995), philosopher Mark Kingwell has been urging us to consider how monstrous, self-serving public behaviour can make it harder to imagine and achieve the society we want. Now, with Unruly Voices, Kingwell returns to the subjects of democracy, civility, and political action, in an attempt to revitalize an intellectual culture too-often deadened by its assumptions of personal advantage and economic value. These 17 new essays, where zombies share pages with cultural theorists, poets, and presidents, together argue for a return to the imagination<U+2014>and from their own unruly voices rises a sympathetic democracy to counter the strangeness of the postmodern political landscape."--Provided by publisher.
