## Entering the book

Distinguish the principles a work advocates from the conditions in which a proposed action would occur. Context matters when assessing practical and ethical claims.

## A useful reading lens

An argument about consent can raise questions about legitimacy, participation and disagreement. Notice whether these terms are defined consistently throughout the discussion.

## Keep the question open

This is an orientation to the book’s subjects, not guidance for a specific campaign. The introduction makes no claim about the legality or effectiveness of a tactic.
