About this product
Product Information
"Fascinating and instructive...King's philosophy, speaking to us through the written word, may turn out to constitute his most enduring legacy." --Annette Gordon-Reed, New York Review of Books Martin Luther King, Jr., is one of America's most revered figures, yet despite his mythic stature, the significance of his political thought remains underappreciated. In this indispensable reappraisal, leading scholars--including Cornel West, Martha Nussbaum, and Danielle Allen--consider the substance of his lesser known writings on racism, economic inequality, virtue ethics, just-war theory, reparations, voting rights, civil disobedience, and social justice and find in them an array of compelling challenges to some of the most pressing political dilemmas of our time. "King was not simply a compelling speaker, but a deeply philosophical intellectual...We still have much to learn from him." -- Quartz "A compelling work of philosophy, all the more so because it treats King seriously without inoculating him from the kind of critique important to both his theory and practice." -- Los Angeles Review of Books

To Shape a New World firmly situates Dr. King in the canon of American political thought. An extraordinary group of scholars grapple with the subtlety and nuance of King's political philosophy, and they set the stage for a renewed engagement with his broader work. This is a must -read in our time., The collection brings together a series of impressive scholars--Cornel West, Martha Nussbaum, and Robert Gooding-Williams among them--to look at King's understudied writings on economic inequality, just-war theory, and voting rights... To Shape a New World is a compelling work of philosophy, all the more so because it treats King seriously without inoculating him from the kind of critique important to both his theory and practice., [An] ambitious, illuminating volume...The collection facilitates rigorous engagement with King's thought in its own time and place but also presses the question of what we ought to do with it in this current 'age of impunity and mendacity.', [A] robust and wide-ranging collection...The book as a whole displays the pliability and dynamism of King's thought, applying it to circumstances both recent (Barack Obama's presidency) and far in the past (the practice of slavery in 18th- and 19th-century America). Throughout, King's voice is placed within a community of philosophers...As the nation approaches the 50th anniversary of King's assassination, this work demonstrates, for anyone who needs convincing, the continued and vital importance of his thinking., Fascinating and instructive...Shelby and Terry may offer the best solution to the pain of thinking about King and our loss of him...King's philosophy, speaking to us through the written word, may turn out to constitute his most enduring legacy., King's theology, philosophy, and nonviolent prophetic engagement are needed now more than any time since his death. In his last speech, Dr. King said that when it comes to the struggle for love and justice, 'nothing would be more tragic than for us to turn back now.' We must embrace his challenge in this moment and commit to go forward together, not one step back., This book demonstrates the necessity of revisiting King's philosophy and creed of nonviolence...Perhaps most importantly, this collection gives us a clear look at the mechanisms of the nonviolent approach, a different option to discrimination instead of submission or violent resistance., Looks at the work of Dr. King as a philosopher, rather than a political figure. By examining some lesser-known writings, the authors draw the conclusion that Dr. King was a much more radical thinker than his watered-down legacy would suggest., King was not simply a compelling speaker, but a deeply philosophical intellectual...King drew on theological, economic, and historical ideas to inform his philosophical thinking...We still have much to learn from him., While his birthday has become a national holiday and schoolchildren across the nation and the world know the words of his most famous speeches, there are still many aspects of his life and work that remain lesser known., To Shape a New World is a milestone in the study of Martin Luther King, Jr., essentially a sanctified figure in American life, whose actual ideas are rarely interrogated in any depth, either in the public realm or in academic circles. What makes this volume particularly striking is the exceptionally high quality of the essays, which are analytically rigorous, impressively researched, and often profoundly original. They highlight the limits of common narratives about King and the civil rights movement, showing the shifts in his own thinking and the unconventional nature of many of his arguments. This is a path-breaking book., This is a powerful and invaluable collection of essays on Dr. King. I hope it will inspire an entirely new generation of readers to go back and immerse themselves in Dr. King's language and thought and hear and heed his prophetic voice.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
