We're living in an age of division. From abortion rights to
immigration, gun control to climate change, civil debate has gone
out the window. Manners, order, and respect are being eroded. Why
can't we all be reasonable? The trouble is, what's 'reasonable' to
one person is outrageous to another. Is it okay to let children
play in the garden while others are working from home? To do your
makeup on a train, or recline your seat on an aeroplane? What's the
right way to breastfeed? To protect your neighbourhood? To protest
against injustice and oppression? In a world where we all think
we're being reasonable, how can we figure out what's right? Looking
back through history and around the world, Kirsty Sedgman set out
to discover how unfairness and discrimination got baked into our
social norms, dividing us along lines of gender, class, disability,
sexuality, race... Instead of measuring human behaviour against
outdated standards of rules and reason, On Being Unreasonable
argues that sometimes we need to act unreasonably to bring about
positive change.
