Belgian artist Fleur Pierets wanted to marry her partner Julian in
all countries where two women are allowed to marry. The aim was to
raise awareness of equal marriage rights in a positive way. But the
'world tour of love' was interrupted: after her fourth marriage, in
Paris, Julian was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour. She
died two months later. Pierets had only one thing left to do:
write. Fleur Pierets and Julian P. Boom worked as an artist duo
under the name JF. Pierets and created, among other things, the
magazine Et Alors? On 20 September 2017, they launched their
performance Project 22 in New York. Julian died on 22 January 2018.
This book is divided into three sections: Before, During and After.
The first part tells the story of how Julian and Fleur Pierets met,
delves into their careers before they fell in love and gives
context to their intense relationship and collaboration. The second
part is literally the heart of the memoir. It's a celebration of
love, freedom,
Introducing Political Philosophy is a thought-provoking
introduction that invites readers to consider and analyse the
philosophical controversies that underpin several prominent areas
of political debate. The opening chapter familiarises students with
the aims and methods of political philosophy. It explains the tools
required to practice the discipline, and discusses how to apply
these to political arguments. Each of the fifteen subsequent
chapters focuses on a distinct area of public policy, such as
affirmative action, humanitarian intervention, immigration, and
parental leave. The authors introduce students to the moral
questions that lie at the heart of these political disputes, as
well as to some of the relevant academic literature. The authors
believe that the best way to learn about political philosophy is to
see it in action. By arguing for a position in each chapter and
defending it against criticisms, they demonstrate to students how
political philosophy can inform our analysis of public policy.
Introducing Political Philosophy is available for students and
institutions to purchase in a variety of formats, and is supported
by online resources. The e-book offers a mobile experience and
convenient access along with hyperlinks a list of web-links, and
self-test questions, helping to test your knowledge and
understanding of policy areas, and the philosophical arguments that
influence them: www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/ebooks. * Student
resources: a curated list of websites help you to deepen your
knowledge of policy areas, and self-test questions help you to
critically evaluate key points from each chapter. * Lecturer
resources include: seminar activities to encourage student
engagement, discussion and debate; guidance on using the teaching
activities; a teaching guide explaining how to get the most out of
the book's inside-out approach; and customisable PowerPoint slides
on key topics, thinkers, and concepts to aid effective teaching
preparation.
