A transformative and philosophical investigation into how we ask questions, full of practical advice on how we can harness the power of questions for ourselvesWe live in a world that wants answers. Answers provide solutions to our problems, teach us about the world, and help us navigate our lives. But we rush toward answers forgetting, that it is questions that set the course.Questions are a form of power, as well as a vital, everyday tool. After all, if you don’t ask the right questions, you won’t get the right answers. InQ, philosopher Lani Watson examines the history of question-asking, analyzes our answer-oriented present, and offers a path forward toward a question-oriented future. Along the way, she asks us to consider what a question is, why we ask the questions we do, when we first start asking questions, and where we want our questions to take us.The shift from prioritizing answers to focusing on questions is not easy, and it requires careful attention and practice.Qalso inclu

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A bold, urgent appeal from the acclaimed columnist and political commentator, addressing one of the most important issues of our time“At this painful moment, Peter Beinart’s voice is more vital than ever. His reach is broad—from the tragedy of today’s Middle East to the South Africa he knows well to events centuries ago—his scholarship is deep, and his heart is big. This book is not just about being Jewish in the shadow of today’s war, but about being a person who cares for justice.” —Adam Hochschild, author of American Midnight and King Leopold’s GhostIn Peter Beinart’s view, one story dominates Jewish communal life: that of persecution and victimhood. It is a story that erases much of the nuance of Jewish religious tradition and warps our understanding of Israel and Palestine. After Gaza, where Jewish texts, history, and language have been deployed to justify mass slaughter and starvation, Beinart argues, Jews must tell a ne

Philosophy has long paid minimal attention to creativity, and even with the rise of research on imagination, the creative imagination has still largely been ignored. The aim of this Oxford Handbook is to correct this neglect. By bringing together research from various sub-disciplines, the contributors explore recent emerging topics and open up new avenues of research in the philosophy of imagination and creativity. The 37 chapters provide state of the art treatments of a variety of subjects at the intersection of imagination and creativity. The volume opens with a comprehensive editors' introduction providing an overview of issues covered in the volume. The chapters in Part I provides framing and historical context for the philosophical study of imagination and creativity, along with an overview of the empirical literature. The chapters in Part II explores imagination and creativity as they manifest in, and in turn shape, the individual. The chapters in Part III survey the role of imag

Fifteen essays that offer inspiration, encouragement, and advice from accomplished writers with ADHD. A rising number of ADHD diagnoses, particularly among adults, is not only confirmed by medical studies and mainstream reporting but also borne out across social media and elsewhere among people who'd been privately coping with persistent, often inexpressible challenges. Many of the contributors to this collection can attest to how a later-in-life diagnosis radically demystified the patterns, impulses, and impasses that had affected their lives and their writing. The essays in Chaos, Creativity, Completion reflect the ways poets, novelists, memoirists, filmmakers, and others have come to understand and engage the relationship between their ADHD and their creative practices. These essays consider how writers can embrace rather than mask their neurodifference, offering multiple ways of finding writing practices that work for ADHD brains--including techniques that often look quite differ
