Against purity
Book • 2016
In *Against Purity: Living Ethically in Compromised Times*, Alexis Shotwell argues that individual purity is unattainable and that recognizing our complicity in systemic problems is crucial for ethical living.
The book explores themes of colonialism, pollution, and social justice, proposing a new approach to ethics that emphasizes interdependence and collective action.
Shotwell suggests that hope lies in speculative fiction, collective activism, and a distributed ethics that acknowledges the complexity of our world.
