Dawno oczekiwana książka prof. Andrzeja Nowaka zawierająca jego wykłady stawiające fundamentalne dla Polaków pytania o narodową tożsamość, o wspólnotę, wierność narodowym pryncypiom. Ale autor pyta też o zdradę – te nasze indywidualne i wielkie narodowe, wskazując jednoznacznie, że Targowica nie narodziła się nagle, a narastała jak wrzód na żywej tkance wspólnoty. Wolność obywatelska w republice polega na tym, żeby wybierać tak, aby dobrze było nie tylko jednostkom, ale by Rzeczpospolita kwitła jako wspólne dobro.

Es ist das politisch-theoretische Hauptwerk des Schweizer Philosophen Jean-Jacques Rousseau: Der Gesellschaftsvertrag. Das Werk erschien zuerst 1762 in Amsterdam und wurde sofort darauf in zahlreichen Ländern verboten. Im Geiste der Aufklärung versucht der Autor, Grundlagen moderner Demokratie in Worte zu fassen. Dass die alleinige Grundlage legitimer politischer Macht immer nur der allgemeine Wille sein kann, der auf das Gemeinwohl abzielt, war ein Gedanke, der große Kreise zog - und unleugbar die französische Revolution beschleunigte.

Luis de la Barreda Solórzano, primer presidente de la Comisión de Derechos Humanos del Distrito Federal, con amplia trayectoria en investigación y estudios jurídicos, plantea en este libro una duda razonable: ¿Ha sido el compromiso social de la izquierda motivo suficiente para el cuidado de los derechos humanos?

Cuidar de ellos es cuidar de una de las principales herramientas para salvaguardar las condiciones mínimas de existencia y expresión de la diversidad social y política.

Die SS – untrennbar ist dieses Kürzel mit der Ermordung der europäischen Juden verbunden, dem wohl größten Menschheitsverbrechen aller Zeiten. Überall auf der Welt stehen die beiden Buchstaben als Synonym für das Böse schlechthin. Doch wie genau wurde der „Schwarze Orden" zum Vollstrecker des nationalsozialistischen Rassenwahns? Auf dem neuesten Stand der Forschung führt Bastian Hein in die Geschichte des Staatsschutzkorps des Dritten Reiches ein, beschreibt die Entstehung der Organisation, ihren Kult sowie die Auslese des Personals und schildert die von der SS verübten Verbrechen.

Pour Guillaume Meurice, ardent défenseur du 10/20, du « peut mieux faire », du « bof bof », la médiocrité est non seulement un mode de vie, mais aussi un formidable facteur d'émancipation. Elle autorise l'action sans la pression du résultat, pour le simple plaisir de se mettre en mouvement, pour la beauté du geste. Il faut la revendiquer en tant que résistance politique, car elle porte en elle le refus de la hiérarchie, de la compétition et du catéchisme capitaliste.

Richly informed and written in an engaging style, Against Empire exposes the ruthless agenda and hidden costs of the U.S. empire today. Documenting the pretexts and lies used to justify violent intervention and maldevelopment abroad, Parenti shows how the conversion to a global economy is a victory of finance capital over democracy.

This is sequel to another volume by Andy Blunden, The Capital/Logic Debate. In this book, the author provides a systematic presentation of the Hegelian structure of the three volumes of Capital. It is shown that Capital contains three distinct layers of structure, originating from Marx’s reading of Hegel’s Logic and his Philosophy of Right. Capital reflects Marx’s critique of the Political Economists, his unique appropriation of economic history and an application of the method outlined by Hegel in his Logic and applied to his Encyclopaedia.
