From Aristocracy to Monarchy to Democracy

Story6
In this tour de force essay, Hans-Hermann Hoppe turns the standard account of historical governmental progress on its head. While the state is an evil in all its forms, monarchy is, in many ways, far less pernicious than democracy. Hoppe shows the evolution of government away from aristocracy, through monarchy, and toward the corruption and irresponsibility of democracy to have been identical with the growth of the leviathan state.

En estrecha conexión con la actualidad, este libro aborda algunas de las batallas filosóficas más intensas y decisivas de la historia, aquellas que siguen protagonizando hoy esa lucha por la «hegemonía» —tal y como la definió Gramsci—. El siglo xxi se decidirá de nuevo como un choque de ideas. Si el XX enfrentó al totalitarismo y el liberalismo, la nueva centuria será también la del conflicto renovado entre el autoritarismo y sus opositores.

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.

Experiencing grief at the death of a person we love or who matters to us—as universal as it is painful—is central to the human condition. Surprisingly, however, philosophers have rarely examined grief in any depth. In Grief, Michael Cholbi presents a groundbreaking philosophical exploration of this complex emotional event, offering valuable new insights about what grief is, whom we grieve, and how grief can ultimately lead us to a richer self-understanding and a fuller realization of our humanity.

Imperialism: The Final Stage of Capitalism by Vladimir Lenin is a foundational Marxist text that explores the economic and political dynamics of imperialism in the early 20th century. Originally published in 1917, this work was a response to the global geopolitical landscape of the time and sought to analyze the nature of imperialism as the highest stage of capitalist development. Lenin argues that imperialism represents a new and advanced form of capitalism characterized by the domination of finance capital.

‘Wat de twijfel is voor de wetenschap,’ schreef de Deense filosoof Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855), ‘dat is de ironie voor het persoonlijk leven.’ Maar in het maatschappelijk debat leidt ironie al gauw tot onverschilligheid. En dat wist Kierkegaard ook. De ironicus maakt van alles een grap en neemt niets meer serieus, ‘teneinde zichzelf te redden’.In onze gepolariseerde en geridiculiseerde debatcultuur geldt de waarschuwing van Kierkegaard meer dan ooit.

Vorwort – Vom Stamme Nimm Es gibt Momente, in denen man glaubt, die Menschheit wirklich zu verstehen. Und dann steht man vor einem Hotelbuffet. Da liegt sie vor einem – die ganze anthropologische Wahrheit unserer Spezies, glasiert, frittiert und in Edelstahl aufgereiht: der Mensch als Konsument, der "Homo Touristicus", der kulinarische Eroberer auf All-inclusive-Mission. Nirgendwo sonst wird deutlicher, wie schmal der Grat ist zwischen Kultur und Kalorienrausch, zwischen Zivilisation und Zucchini-Auflauf.

Can jokes win a hostile room, a hopeless argument, or even an election? You bet they can, according to Cicero, and he knew what he was talking about. One of Rome's greatest politicians, speakers, and lawyers, Cicero was also reputedly one of antiquity's funniest people. After he was elected commander-in-chief and head of state, his enemies even started calling him "the stand-up Consul". How to Tell a Joke provides a lively new translation of Cicero's essential writing on humor alongside that of the later Roman orator and educator Quintilian.

"The communists do not preach morality at all"; this line from The Communist Manifesto might seem to settle the question of whether Marxism has anything to offer moral philosophy. Yet, Marx issued both trenchant critiques of "bourgeois" morality and thundering condemnations of capitalism's "vampire-like" destructiveness. He decried commodity-exchange for corroding our ability to value one another for who we are, not how much our lives could be traded away for.

Philosopher Nick Riggle explores the beauty of being alive by investigating the things we say to inspire ourselves and each other: seize the day, treat yourself, you only live once. These clichés are at best vague, at worst stupid. They imply that you should do something wild with your life because your life is precious, a little like saying you should go swimming with your grandfather’s watch because it is irreplaceable.

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?

We need each other to address the complex challenges facing our cities and communities—from the infrastructure deficit to climate change, homelessness, mental health and addiction issues. To thrive, our local democracies depend on our ability to revive the art of living and working well together.
