<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Exploring the philosophy of disobedience</b> <p/>The world is out of joint, so much so that disobeying should be an urgent question for everyone. In this provocative essay, Frédéric Gros explores the roots of political obedience. Social conformity, economic subjection, respect for authorities, constitutional consensus? Examining the various styles of obedience provides tools to study, invent and induce new forms of civic disobedience and lyrical protest. Nothing can be taken for granted: neither supposed certainties nor social conventions, economic injustice or moral conviction. <p/>Thinking philosophically requires us never to accept truths and generalities that seem obvious. It restores a sense of political responsibility. At a time when the decisions of experts are presented as the result of icy statistics and anonymous calculations, disobeying becomes an assertion of humanity. <p/>To philosophize is to disobey. This book is a call for critical democracy and ethical resistance.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Emotive and pithy ... a deep insight into how we can disobey and bring about a better world rather than passively accept the reality we're living in."<br>--<b><i>Philosophy Now</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Frédéric Gros</b> is a professor of philosophy at the University of Paris XII and the Institute of Political Studies, Paris. He was the editor of the last lectures of Michel Foucault at the Collège de France. His previous books include <i>A Philosophy of Walking </i>and <i>The Security Principle</i>.
