Refusing to Be Silent

How can we approach the world and guide our thinking in the face of
profound, myriad challenges? This is the ambitious question that
animates the current volume. The book seeks to formulate these
challenges and develop ways to tackle them through a set of wide-ranging
interviews with leading intellectuals of our times, including Nancy
Fraser, Seyla Benhabib, Michael Walzer and Etienne Balibar. Contributing
fresh perspectives on current events - from the liberation of women's
voices to the crisis of secularism; from populism, the pandemic, and the
rise of conspiracy theories to new forms of resistance - these essays
show a refusal to lapse into rigid and reductive oppositions, instead
providing critically nuanced interpretations of contemporary events and
struggles. The collection brings together original and accessible points
of view, selected by researchers from the Institute for Philosophy and
Social Theory at the University of Belgrade, in the pursuit of and
safeguarding intellectual freedom.
Including Nancy Fraser, Michael Burawoy, Seyla Benhabib, Michael Walzer, Catherine Malabou, and Etienne Balibar
