Stephen Loxton compares and contrasts two of the world's greatest
thinkers on the nature of goodness, purpose and the metaphysical
views of reality. This guide, pitched just right for the ambitious
A level student, will open up the essential differences in the
Platonic and Aristotelean worldviews in this core element of
Philosophy.
I will be able to shop in Topshop. I will be able to go swimming
and not displace all the water and create a tsunami. I will fit in
changing rooms without banging my elbows or exposing the moon of my
arse through the curtain when I bend over. I will be able to fit
behind the narrow benches at Ronnie Scott's to listen to jazz
instead of being offered a chair at the end of the row I'll be able
to see my toes, which I haven't seen since 1996 without the aid of
a selfie stick. I will be promoted and not have my desk moved to
inside the stationery cupboard for being off-brand. "I started
writing this book five years ago. I was going through a really hard
time - I lost my home and everything I owned - and the only way I
got through it was by writing, and making myself laugh. I have
always self-medicated with funny books, and wanted to write
something that made women who might be miserable or cheated on or
broke or feeling woefully unsuccessful feel a little better. The
book is rooted in my reality: I always felt my life would start and
I'd be happy once I reached my target weight. Then I got thin, and
life was still rubbish and I still hated my body. I realised true
happiness only comes with self-acceptance. So here it is. And I
hope it at least makes you smile. And reach for that doughnut."
This fascinating book illustrates the complex relationship between
gender and research. The authors use concrete examples and draw
upon their own gendered experiences by including mini-case studies
from research projects in areas such as childhood studies, health
care and education.
