商品描述

Why do we disagree about the causes of and solutions to social inequality? What explains our different viewpoints on Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, income inequality, and immigration?

In this tightly argued book, John Iceland, Eric Silver, and Ilana Redstone show how two clashing worldviews - one emphasizing Social Justice and another Social Order - are preventing Americans from solving their most pressing social problems.

The authors show how each worldview provides a different understanding of human nature, morality, social change, and the wisdom of the past. They argue that, before Americans can find lasting solutions to today's seemingly intractable societal challenges, they will need to recognize that each side possesses a wisdom the other lacks. Only then can we achieve the common ground and consensus we seek.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

為什麼我們對社會不平等的原因和解決方案存在分歧?我們對於「黑人的命也是命」(Black Lives Matter)、#MeToo、收入不平等和移民的不同觀點是什麼原因?

在這本論證緊密的書中,約翰·艾斯蘭(John Iceland)、埃里克·西爾弗(Eric Silver)和伊拉娜·雷德斯通(Ilana Redstone)展示了兩種對立的世界觀——一種強調社會正義,另一種則強調社會秩序——如何阻礙美國人解決他們最迫切的社會問題。

作者指出,每種世界觀對人性、道德、社會變革和過去智慧的理解各不相同。他們主張,在美國人能夠找到對當前看似無法解決的社會挑戰的持久解決方案之前,他們需要認識到每一方都擁有另一方所缺乏的智慧。只有這樣,我們才能達成我們所追求的共同立場和共識。
