Isms and Ologies
Isms and Ologies: 453 Difficult Doctrines You've Always Pretended to Understand | Arthur Goldwag
3 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
What's the difference between an anarchist and an anarcho-syndicalist, a Platonist and a Neo-Platonist? And how modern can Modernism really be if all the famous modernists are dead? To those who've been humiliated by a knowing reference to Wahhabism at a dinner party, caught short by a casual allusion to Orphism at a private view, or flummoxed by a smug mention of post-structuralism by a fellow member of a suburban book group, Isms and Ologies offers hope and enlightenment. Crackpot convictions, perplexing philosophies, tricky tenets, and wacky Weltanschauungs - Isms and Ologies lists them all, and explains their salient features clearly and accessibly. So, if you're genuinely curious to know the crucial characteristics of phenomenology or just want to lend a veneer of intellectual rigour to your small talk, Isms and Ologies could be just the book you are looking for.

This book seems is right up my street. I bought this as I absolutely love the podcast ‘Ologies‘ with Ali Ward, it‘s probably the one I listen to most. She makes learning fun and has such interesting subjects. Hoping this will be good too!

I love this podcast - every episode Alie Ward takes an ology to explores the word, the science and the culture. It‘s fun and informative!

Couldn't help but laugh out loud at this first paragraph of Arthur Goldwag's definition of liberalism!
