Titoli in Filosofia

Finito di scrivere nella notte di capodanno tra il 1992 e il 1993, "Come si cura il nazi. Iperliberismo e ossessioni identitarie" torna oggi con una nuova postfazione dell'autore. A quasi trent'anni dalla sua pubblicazione, con lucidità di analisi e chiarezza di linguaggio, il libro esplora l'emersione di tutte quelle politiche identitarie e populiste che oggi hanno preso pienamente possesso della scena politica e sociale globale.

In search of an ideal civilization, Socrates leads Glaucon, Polemarchus, Thrasymachus, and others in debates about various subjects, including justice, truth, class, and art. For without righteousness, tyranny and injustice give rise to oligarchy. The influential dialogues of The Republic helped shape all of Western literature and philosophical thought. It is as much a doctrine of ethics and politics now as it was for the ancient Greeks, and its dilemma remains: how to create a perfect society populated by very imperfect human beings.

The Fountainhead studies the conflict between artistic genius and social convention, a theme Ayn Rand later developed into the idealistic philosophy knows as Objectivism. Rand's hero is Howard Roark, a brilliant young architect who won't compromise his integrity, especially in the unconventional buildings he designs.

Mit detektivischem Spürsinn wird in diesem Buch die Lebensgeschichte der Frau an Hitlers Seite rekonstruiert, die aus einem kleinbürgerlichen Haushalt bis in den inneren Zirkel des NS-Machthabers führte und einen Tag nach der Hochzeit im Berliner «Führerbunker» mit dem gemeinsamen Selbstmord am 30. April 1945 endete. Welche Rolle spielte die Geliebte in Hitlers privatem Kreis? Über wie viel Einfluss verfügte sie? Und was wussten sie und die anderen Frauen der NS-Führer über die Verbrechen ihrer Männer?

In this sweeping philosophical work, Amartya Sen proposes that the murderous violence that has riven our society is driven as much by confusion as by inescapable hatred. Challenging the reductionist division of people by race, religion, and class, Sen presents an inspiring vision of a world that can be made to move toward peace as firmly as it has spiraled in recent years toward brutality and war.

Over two millennia after its compilation, the Politics still offers much to consider with regards to political science. Aristotle's succinct and thoughtful analysis is based on his study of over 150 city constitutions and covers the gamut of political issues in order to establish which types of constitution are best, ideally as well as for particular circumstances, and how they may be maintained.

El Libro Rojo de Mao, también conocido como el Pequeño Libro Rojo o Citas del Presidente Mao Zedong, ofrece una visión profunda de la ideología y estrategias que moldearon la China moderna. Publicado por primera vez en 1964 por el Ejército Popular de Liberación de China, este pequeño volumen se convirtió en un símbolo de la Revolución Cultural y en un elemento omnipresente en la vida cotidiana de millones de chinos.

Egemonia e intellettuali, nazionale-popolare e cultura rivoluzionaria: questi alcuni dei concetti fondamentali della costellazione teorica elaborato da Antonio Gramsci nella sua lunga reclusione carceraria. Può essa, e in che misura, aiutare a fare luce sul caotico e contraddittorio presente di cui siamo abitatori? Che cos’ha ancora da dirci Gramsci nel tempo della globalizzazione mercatista e della vittoria del capitalismo finanziario? Questo libro prova a ripensare radicalmente Gramsci.

There was a time when liberalism was an ism like any other, but that time, writes Michael Walzer, is gone. “Liberal” now conveys not a specific ideology but a moral stance, so the word is best conceived not as a noun but as an adjective—one is a “liberal democrat” or a “liberal nationalist.” Walzer itemizes the characteristics described by “liberal” in an inventory of his own deepest political and moral commitments—among other things, to the principle of equality, to the rule of law, and to a pluralism that is both political and cultural.

Nevertheless comprises essays on Machiavelli and on Pascal. The ambivalent connection between the two parts is embodied by the comma in the subtitle: Machiavelli, Pascal. Is this comma a conjunction or a disjunction? In fact, both. Ginzburg approaches Machiavelli's work from the perspective of casuistry, or case-based ethical reasoning.

La globalización ha producido sensaciones de impotencia en millones de personas en Occidente. Ese sentimiento de indefensión genera resentimiento y un afán por buscar culpables. Se culpa a los inmigrantes. Se culpa a los musulmanes. Se culpa a otras razas. Se culpa a la élite cultural. Basándose en una combinación de ejemplos históricos y contemporáneos, Nussbaum desenreda en La monarquía del miedo toda esta maraña de sentimientos y nos proporciona así una hoja de ruta para que sepamos hacia dónde dirigir nuestros pasos a partir de aquí.

The death toll in Gaza continues to rise―a cold, lifeless number representing entire communities crushed under the weight of settler colonialism. What remains of the theories we use to understand our world? With lyrical and lucid fury, Hamid Dabashi exposes the racist roots of Western philosophy, demanding that listeners overcome its pernicious phantom of relevance. Rather than perceiving "the West" as giving carte blanche to Israel, Dabashi insists that Israel must be understood as its quintessence.

A arte da guerra apresenta uma das principais preocupações e um dos principais projetos de Maquiavel: a criação de um exército comunal, que deveria ser constituído pelos habitantes de Florença. Esse projeto e este livro que o apresenta, assim como as outras obras de Maquiavel, são fruto de sua experiência diplomática, que lhe possibilitou um contato direto com os principais protagonistas da política de seu tempo, e das leituras dos clássicos, sobretudo os historiadores e autores latinos de tratados sobre a guerra e a arte militar.

"Критика чистого разума" – книга, которую каждая эпоха заново оценивает и по-своему переосмысливает. Книга, которая остается актуальной вот уже более двух столетий. Книга, которую изучали и пытались интерпретировать абсолютно все значительные философы, творившие после Канта, и которая по сей день занимает умы ученых и писателей, моралистов и политиков. Это opus magnum Канта, он обдумывал этот труд десять лет – а написал за несколько месяцев.

How do I gain power? And once I have it - how do I keep it? Machiavelli's classic dates back to the Renaissance, but to this day it is a classic must-read for politicians and managers!

PREMIO PAIDÓS 2025 La aclamada autora argentina Tamara Tenenbaum nos propone un ensayo brillante que reflexiona sobre otras formas posibles de vivir en el siglo XXI y que declara la importancia de la belleza y el trabajo como productores de igualdad y libertad.

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.

Taming the Rascal Multitude is a judicious selection of essays and interviews from Z Magazine from 1997 to 2014. In each, Chomsky takes up some question of the moment. As such, in sum, the essays provide a historical overview of the history that preceded Trump and the reaction to Trump. The essays situate what followed even without having known what would follow. They explicate what preceded the current era and provide a step-by-step revelation, or how-to, for successfully comprehending social events and relations.

Breakthroughs in genetics present us with a promise and a predicament. The promise is that we will soon be able to treat and prevent a host of debilitating diseases. The predicament is that our newfound genetic knowledge may enable us to manipulate our nature - to enhance our genetic traits and those of our children. Although most people find at least some forms of genetic engineering disquieting, it is not easy to articulate why.

In a world rife with willful chaos, how can order be restored? Philosopher Thomas Hobbes’s answer, composed amid the violence of the English Civil War, revolutionized political thought. His solution was a commonwealth, or Leviathan, a body politic ruled and protected by an absolute sovereign. Its power would be dependent on the people to exchange their freedom for the security and order of a common law. Only with this social contract, Hobbes argued, can civil peace be established.
