Grandstanding: The Use and Abuse of Moral Talk de Justin Tosi

Grandstanding: The Use and Abuse of Moral Talk

Autor Justin Tosi, Brandon Warmke
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 sep 2020

Analiza propusă de Justin Tosi și Brandon Warmke în Grandstanding începe cu o temă stringentă: „poluarea” conversațiilor noastre urgente cu interese personale mascate sub forma indignării morale. Subliniem faptul că autorii nu se limitează la o critică socială superficială, ci utilizează instrumentele riguroase ale filozofiei morale și ale economiei pentru a demonta mecanismul prin care dorința de a fi percepuți ca „reprezentanți ai binelui” distruge dialogul civic. Găsim în această carte o explicație lucidă a modului în care „one-upmanship”-ul (dorința de a fi mereu deasupra celuilalt) în mediul online transformă dezbaterea politică într-un spectacol de imagine, ducând la o polarizare periculoasă.

Merită menționat că structura argumentației îmbină date din psihologie cu exemple contemporane de pe tot spectrul politic, evitând partizanatul. Cititorii familiarizați cu Moral Talk de Joe Spencer-Bennett vor aprecia modul în care Grandstanding trece de la analiza sociolingvistică la o examinare a motivațiilor psihologice profunde din spatele judecăților noastre publice. Dacă Spencer-Bennett se concentrează pe contextul britanic, Tosi și Warmke oferă un cadru teoretic universal, aplicabil oricărei democrații digitale.

Această lucrare continuă preocuparea autorilor pentru etica comportamentului individual în raport cu societatea, temă regăsită și în Why It's OK to Mind Your Own Business. În timp ce lucrarea anterioară chestiona imperativul de a acționa mereu la scară mare, Grandstanding avertizează că, în încercarea de a părea dedicați unei cauze, riscăm să compromitem chiar cauza respectivă. Tonul este unul precis, orientat spre claritate conceptuală, oferind cititorului o oglindă necesară pentru propriile interacțiuni sociale.

Această carte se adresează celor care se simt epuizați de ostilitatea din mediul online și doresc să înțeleagă mecanismele psihologice din spatele indignării publice.

Despre autor

Justin Tosi și Brandon Warmke sunt profesori de filozofie recunoscuți pentru cercetările lor la intersecția dintre etică, politică și psihologie socială. Ambii au publicat pe larg despre conceptul de „moral grandstanding”, fiind printre primii care au teoretizat acest fenomen în mediul academic contemporan. Justin Tosi este profesor la Texas Tech University, iar Brandon Warmke predă la Bowling Green State University. Lucrările lor, precum Why It's OK to Mind Your Own Business, explorează limitele responsabilității morale și importanța integrității în discursul public, transformându-i în voci de referință pentru filozofia morală aplicată.

Descriere

We are all guilty of it. We call people terrible names in conversation or online. We vilify those with whom we disagree, and make bolder claims than we could defend. We want to be seen as taking the moral high ground not just to make a point, or move a debate forward, but to look a certain way--incensed, or compassionate, or committed to a cause. We exaggerate. In other words, we grandstand. Nowhere is this more evident than in public discourse today, and especially as it plays out across the internet. To philosophers Justin Tosi and Brandon Warmke, who have written extensively about moral grandstanding, such one-upmanship is not just annoying, but dangerous. As politics gets more and more polarized, people on both sides of the spectrum move further and further apart when they let grandstanding get in the way of engaging one another. The pollution of our most urgent conversations with self-interest damages the very causes they are meant to forward. Drawing from work in psychology, economics, and political science, and along with contemporary examples spanning the political spectrum, the authors dive deeply into why and how we grandstand. Using the analytic tools of psychology and moral philosophy, they explain what drives us to behave in this way, and what we stand to lose by taking it too far. Most importantly, they show how, by avoiding grandstanding, we can re-build a public square worth participating in.

Recenzii

Grandstanding is an absolute MUST READ for anybody using social media to discuss the causes they care about.
Grandstanding is a valuable and timely book. It provides a lively, engaging and informed account of some of the crucial issues and troubling problems that we face, and which are disrupting liberal democratic political and social life throughout the world right now. While it will certainly stimulate conversation and debate, it is balanced and moderate in its tone Readers will, obviously, vary in their responses to both the general analysis and to the particular examples. But whether you are persuaded by this account of grandstanding or not, this is a timely, stimulating and significant book that deserves to be widely read and discussed.
Tosi and Warmke keep it short and snappy. Fortunately, they do not write like the philosophers they are. ...Even if this all sounds like common sense, we probably know somebody else who should read this short, lucid and useful little book.
I recommend this book to anyone interested in the ethics of discourse. Grandstanding is an accessible and informative introduction to a neglected topic. The book also has a light touch. Whereas delving into moral issues such as abortion and euthanasia can be depressing, grandstanding is an amusing topic to read about, and it's gratifying to see such self-promotion exposed. Tosi and Warmke do a good job of showing how grandstanding connects with issues such as political polarization, honesty, and respect for others. What they say is, by and large, persuasive.
"[A] timely and sharp new work bridging philosophy with online culture.
Tosi and Warmke are nothing if not insightful. We all need to hear this message.
This may be the book of the decade at least in the sense that it explains so much behavior distinctive of or amplified by our social media-fueled decade.
Tosi and Warmke have produced something genuinely rare--a work of philosophy that addresses issues of great practical importance with writing that is lucid and accessible. Anyone concerned about a public culture of outrage and polarization will benefit from reading this book. It even explains how Nietzsche can shed light on our politics!
Justin Tosi and Brandon Warmke have written a great book on a topic that has been underexplored in academic literature: moral grandstanding. Moral grandstanding occurs when someone acts on their desire to impress others by showing off their moral qualities. As Tosi and Warmke discuss, there are dangers to moral grandstanding, and those dangers have been amplified by social media, leading to 'pile-ons' and extreme outrage. Their careful analysis of this issue has practical implications for devising strategies to mitigate posturing outrage. This book is an important contribution to social philosophy, but in addition to that it is highly accessible and a very important read for those who want a better understanding of this social phenomenon.
We live in an age of moral outrage--every day billions plug into social media to learn about, or share, the latest source of outrage. While moral language can inspire social change, it can also fracture society, fuel conflict, and foster harassment. This highly accessible and timely book by Tosi & Warmke explains why moral grandstanding can be contagious as well as corrosive to our discourse. This excellent book is a must read for anyone interested in civil discourse, moral cognition, or social media.
