Minds Wide Shut : How the New Fundamentalisms Divide Us / Gary Saul MORSON / Princeton University Press (2023)
Titre : Minds Wide Shut : How the New Fundamentalisms Divide Us Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Gary Saul MORSON Editeur : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2023 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9780691214924 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : A timely exploration of intellectual dogmatism in politics, economics, religion, and literature—and what can be done to fight itPolarization may be pushing democracy to the breaking point. But few have explored the larger, interconnected forces that have set the stage for this crisis: namely, a rise in styles of thought, across a range of fields, that literary scholar Gary Saul Morson and economist Morton Schapiro call “fundamentalist.” In Minds Wide Shut, Morson and Schapiro examine how rigid adherence to ideological thinking has altered politics, economics, religion, and literature in ways that are mutually reinforcing and antithetical to the open-mindedness and readiness to compromise that animate democracy. In response, they propose alternatives that would again make serious dialogue possible.Fundamentalist thinking, Morson and Schapiro argue, is not limited to any one camp. It flourishes across the political spectrum, giving rise to dueling monologues of shouting and abuse between those who are certain that they can’t be wrong, that truth and justice are all on their side, and that there is nothing to learn from their opponents, who must be evil or deluded. But things don’t have to be this way. Drawing on thinkers and writers from across the humanities and social sciences, Morson and Schapiro show how we might begin to return to meaningful dialogue through case-based reasoning, objective analyses, lessons drawn from literature, and more.The result is a powerful invitation to leave behind simplification, rigidity, and extremism—and to move toward a future of greater open-mindedness, moderation, and, perhaps, even wisdom.

Titre : Cents and Sensibility : What Economics Can Learn from the Humanities Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Gary Saul MORSON Editeur : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2018 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9780691183220 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : In Cents and Sensibility, an eminent literary critic and a leading economist make the case that the humanities?especially the study of literature?offer economists ways to make their models more realistic, their predictions more accurate, and their policies more effective and just. Arguing that Adam Smith's heirs include Austen, Chekhov, and Tolstoy as much as Keynes and Friedman, Gary Saul Morson and Morton Schapiro trace the connection between Adam Smith's great classic, The Wealth of Nations, and his less celebrated book on ethics, The Theory of Moral Sentiments. The authors contend that a few decades later, Jane Austen invented her groundbreaking method of novelistic narration in order to give life to the empathy that Smith believed essential to humanity. More than anyone, the great writers can offer economists something they need?a richer appreciation of behavior, ethics, culture, and narrative. Original, provocative, and inspiring, Cents and Sensibility demonstrates the benefits of a dialogue between economics and the humanities and also shows how looking at real-world problems can revitalize the study of literature itself. Featuring a new preface, this book brings economics back to its place in the human conversation.
