În noua lui carte, Mark Manson își îndreaptă atenția asupra nesfârșitelor nenorociri care au loc în lume. Inspirându-se din cercetările psihologice legate de aceste subiecte, precum și din înțelepciunea atemporală a lui Platon, Nietzsche sau a legendarului Tom Waits, el disecă religia și politica și modul în care acestea au ajuns să semene între ele. Manson analizează relația noastră cu banii, cu industria de divertisment și cu internetul, arătând că, oricât de bun ar fi un lucru, dacă este consumat în exces, ne poate omorî—psihologic vorbind.

Il saggio Moni Ovadia tiene una lezione sull'ebraismo a Dario Vergassola e lui, da buon ligure, risponde e interpreta. Scopre di essere, per affinità, molto più vicino agli ebrei di quanto credesse in precedenza. Il cinismo caustico di Vergassola si lega allo humour tutto yiddish di Ovadia producendo uno scambio dal ritmo serrato in cui si demoliscono luoghi comuni con un'ironia disarmante.

In questa opera del 1884, il filosofo Herbert Spencer esprime il suo pensiero politico. La negazione di ogni interferenza dello Stato con la vita sociale (assistenzialismo, risoluzione conflitti sociali) fa di Spencer un sostenitore del liberalismo politico, anche se, contrariamente allo stereotipo che lo vede come un ultraconservatore, Spencer era simpatizzante delle istanze libertarie, anti-imperialista, anticoloniale, contrario alla schiavit in ogni sua forma, e sostenitore di un modello di produzione basato sulle cooperative piuttosto che sul lavoro salariato.

Wieso erdulden es Menschen, Hunderte, Tausende, Millionen, dass es einen einzigen Tyrannen gibt, der nur soviel Macht, als sie ihm verleihen? Sie akzeptieren dieses Schicksal freiwillig, erklärt de la Boétie. Ein noch heute absolut hörenswertes Werk aus der Renaissance.

"Todo sobre el amor" ofrece nuevas formas radicales de pensar sobre el amor al mostrar su interconexión en nuestra vida privada y pública. En once capítulos concisos, hooks explica cómo nuestras nociones cotidianas de lo que significa dar y recibir amor a menudo nos fallan, y cómo estos ideales se establecen en la primera infancia. Ofrece un replanteamiento del amor propio (sin narcisismo) que aporta paz y compasión a nuestra vida personal y profesional, y defiende la importancia del amor para poner fin a las luchas entre individuos, comunidades y sociedades.

Im Jahre 1930 veröffentlichte Sigmund Freud diese Schrift, in der er den Menschen als Meister der "Verdrängung" beschreibt, die dieser in allen Feldern der Zivilisation unterworfen sei. In der Realität des Lebens sei der Mensch zu Lustverzicht, Zügelung, Umlenkung und Verdrängung der Triebe gezwungen.

Culto della giovinezza, idolatria dell'intelligenza, ossessione della crescita economica, tirannia della moda: sono alcuni dei miti di oggi che Umberto Galimberti passa in rassegna per smontarli e denunciarne la natura ingannevole, mostrando come i falsi miti siano in realtà "idee malate", non avvertite come tali, e quindi tanto più capaci di diffondere i loro effetti nefasti senza trovare la minima resistenza. Sono i miti del nostro tempo, le idee che più di altre ci pervadono e ci plasmano come individui e come società.

En este maravilloso ensayo, Lledó juega y conversa con los numerosos términos que la cultura griega nos ha legado, y se detiene en el de amistad, un concepto clave a la hora de explorar quiénes somos. Lo contrapone a otra noción esencial, la de identidad, hoy tan manida y viciada, que, en su origen, lejos de aludir a lo que nos diferencia, se refería a nuestra mirada humana sobre el mundo y sobre nosotros mismos, y es un componente fundamental de la democracia.

Gesundheit, Kreativität, persönliches Glück – Charles Pépin zeigt: Wir müssen anderen begegnen, um uns selbst zu begegnen. Begegnungen verändern uns, indem sie uns mit dem Anderen konfrontieren, schreibt Charles Pépin. Nachdem uns die Pandemie auf Abstand gezwungen hat, geht der Philosoph der Frage nach, was freundschaftliche, romantische, professionelle und zufällige Begegnungen für den Einzelnen bedeuten. Er zeigt: Jeder zwischenmenschliche Kontakt ist auch eine Begegnung mit der Welt und mit uns selbst.

We have accepted violence as a way of life and yet at the same time we want peace.

Only when the mind and heart are really simple is one able to solve the many problems that confront us. A religious man is he who is inwardly simple. Q: I have been a member of various religious organisations, but you have destroyed them all. I am utterly bored and work because hunger forces me to it. I am afraid to commit suicide. What on earth am I to do? Q: What have you to say to a person who, in quiet moments, sees the truth of what you say, who has a longing to keep awake but who finds himself repeatedly lost in a sea of impulse and small desires?

Opposites and borders are never as clear as we think.

Your intellectual freedom is at stake, threatened by everything from academia and Big Tech to the media and government. Fortunately, you have a way to take back personal control, and it’s a solution founded upon ancient philosophy.

La digitalización avanza inexorablemente.

In 63 BC, frustrated by his failure to be elected leader of the Roman Republic, the aristocrat Catiline tried to topple its elected government. Backed by corrupt elites and poor, alienated Romans, he fled Rome while his associates plotted to burn the city and murder its leading politicians. The attempted coup culminated with the unmasking of the conspirators in the Senate. In How to Stop a Conspiracy, Josiah Osgood presents a brisk, modern new translation of the definitive account of these events, Sallust's The War with Catiline.

We live in a world oriented toward greatness, one in which we feel compelled to be among the wealthiest, most powerful, and most famous. This book explains why no one truly benefits from this competitive social order, and reveals how another way of life is possible—a good-enough life for all. Avram Alpert shows how our obsession with greatness results in stress and anxiety, damage to our relationships, widespread political and economic inequality, and destruction of the natural world. He describes how to move beyond greatness to create a society in which everyone flourishes.
