Download Fashion - Philosophy for Everyone: Thinking with Style AudioBook Free
Most of us realize that fashion is more than simply clothes. It's not only about putting on what's in. Fashion influences our judgments of people's flavour, politics, sexuality, class, religious beliefs, and even their moral figure. It can be a medium for technological and interpersonal change - changes in fashion may signal monetary and politics shifts. Yet fashion can also capture us. We can be slaves to fashion if we feel trapped by the roles dictated by the clothes we wear, and we can be slaves to fashion, literally, as in the case of sweatshop employees who make most of the clothes we wear today. This audiobook explores the diverse and sometimes contradictory aspects of fashion in some lively, entertaining thoughtful essays from visible philosophers and authors. Matters include:
- What is fashion?
- How do we really know what is elegant?
- Who determines what's cool and what's not?
How could it be that clothes shape people just how they actually? - Why does fashion have the energy it does?
