Viviamo nell'epoca che più di ogni altra celebra la libertà e la proclama un diritto assoluto. Eppure qualcosa non torna. Una nebbia sottile, silenziosa, si è insinuata nelle nostre vite: non vieta, non ordina, non punisce. Seduce. E mentre promette tranquillità e benessere ci spinge verso l'omologazione, spegnendo il pensiero critico, inibendo la creatività e il coraggio di essere diversi.

N’en déplaise aux adeptes du développement personnel, « être l’auteur de sa vie » n’est pas chose aisée car s’affranchir des déterminismes qui font notre histoire est un long - mais pas impossible ! - chemin vers la liberté. " Être l’auteur de sa vie " est un leitmotiv des ouvrages de développement personnel. La maxime de Pindare, " deviens qui tu es ", se décline partout : titres d’essais, slogans publicitaires, mantras sur les réseaux sociaux.

A thought-provoking exploration of how basketball—and the values rooted in the game—can solve today’s most pressing issues, from the professor behind the popular New York University course NBA and WNBA superstars, Hall of Fame players, coaches, and leading cultural figures have all dropped...

Im Leben ist irgendwann vieles entschieden: wen wir lieben, wo wir arbeiten, wie wir wohnen. Manche sind froh, angekommen zu sein – andere fürchten, festzustecken in einem Leben voller Routinen, und fragen sich, ob es das schon war. Wie finden wir neue Lebensziele, wenn vieles erreicht ist? Wie gehen wir damit um, dass sich die Zeithorizonte langsam verengen und einige Züge mittlerweile abgefahren sind? Philosophisch fundiert und voller Bezüge aus dem Alltag denkt Barbara Bleisch nach über Lebenserfahrung, Leichtigkeit und Gelassenheit.

Vivimos en una época en la que los sentimientos prevalecen sobre la razón. El poder de las instituciones públicas, combinado con las masas de acoso, las redes sociales y los medios de comunicación conquista las mentes de los pueblos occidentales. El resultado es una sociedad dócil guiada por la desinformación y los dogmas impuestos, apenas cuestionados, como la igualdad, el cambio climático, el racismo, el intervencionismo estatal o el feminismo radical, siempre vigilados por el "Ojo que todo lo ve".

"El hombre ha nacido libre, y sin embargo, vive en todas partes entre cadenas." Estas son las famosas palabras de apertura de un libro que no ha dejado de suscitar debates desde su primera publicación en 1762. Rousseau desaprueba que algunos hombre se sientan con el derecho natural de ejercer autoridad sobre otros, y defiende un pacto o "contrato social", que debería existir y ser la fuente del poder soberano.

Freiheit ist in aller Munde – doch fühlen wir uns wirklich frei? In einer Welt der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten erleben viele Menschen eine subtile innere Blockade. Wir funktionieren, optimieren uns selbst und suchen nach Anerkennung, während wir gleichzeitig spüren: Irgendetwas stimmt nicht. Wir leben in einer Gesellschaft, die Freiheit verspricht, aber oft nur neue Formen der Abhängigkeit schafft.

As a boy, severely disabled after contracting polio as a baby in working class Liverpool, Bert Massie found himself wondering why disabled people were expected to adapt to the world around them, and not the other way round. In his teens, he began to campaign for rights for disabled people, and having battled his way through prejudice and the education system to become a Bachelor of Arts and a qualified social worker, he became a prominent figure in the fight for fair treatment for disabled people leading to the ground breaking Disability Discrimination Act.

Il n'est pas anodin que les grandes figures sociologiques du XXe siècle, Durkheim, Mauss, Lévi-Strauss ou Bourdieu, aient été formées initialement à la philosophie. D'abord timidement, puis farouchement, la sociologie, ou encore l'anthropologie et l'ethnographie, prennent au cours du siècle leur indépendance face à la paternité philosophique pour créer la nouvelle dénomination des sciences sociales.

Gracias a su lucidez y valentía, Albert Camus y Thomas Mann pudieron entender algo que hoy en día muchos politólogos son incapaces de admitir. En 1947, ambos lanzaron una advertencia: la guerra ha terminado, pero el fascismo no fue vencido. Aunque se demore algunas décadas, volverá otra vez. No lo reconoceremos por sus ideas, pues el fascismo no tiene ninguna, pero sí por sus acciones y su política.

The book is intended to describe America’s longing for a more perfect union and its frustration in achieving the metaphorical level playing field.

Self-Reliance is an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, a prominent American philosopher and essayist from the 19th century.

A disponibilidade para consumir, trabalhar, compartilhar, responder, 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana, parece ser a palavra de ordem da contemporaneidade. Jonathan Crary faz um panorama vertiginoso de um mundo cuja lógica não se prende mais a limites de tempo e espaço. 24/7 - Capitalismo tardio e os fins do sono é uma interessante e perturbadora análise da realidade contemporânea.

Uma filosofia politicamente incorreta é o novo título de Luiz Felipe Pondé para o Guia politicamente incorreto da filosofia, lançado em 2012. Com texto revisitado pelo autor e uma nova introdução, a obra questiona se o pensamento politicamente correto pode fazer mal. De acordo com Pondé, sim. “Antes de tudo, ele nos faz covardes. À medida que ele se torna uma ferramenta jurídica e de linchamento público nas redes sociais, ele começa a devastar a virtude da coragem, sem a qual ninguém diz, pensa ou faz nada que tenha valor a não ser aquilo que for ‘correto’.”

Sages from Cicero to Oprah have told us that forgiveness requires us to let go of negative emotions and that it has a unique power to heal our wounds. In Failures of Forgiveness, Myisha Cherry argues that these beliefs couldn’t be more wrong—and that the ways we think about and use forgiveness, personally and as a society, can often do more harm than good. She presents a new and healthier understanding of forgiveness—one that will give us a better chance to recover from wrongdoing and move toward “radical repair.”

In 2020, COVID-19, the Australia bushfires, and other global threats served as vivid reminders that human and nonhuman fates are increasingly linked. Human use of nonhuman animals contributes to pandemics, climate change, and other global threats which, in turn, contribute to biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and nonhuman suffering.

KT Guttenberg nimmt sich die Zeit. Seine Texte auf LinkedIn, jeweils von Hunderttausenden gelesen, entspringen Alltagssituationen und Beobachtungen vom Wegesrand, er entdeckt Details unseres Lebens, die wir gern mal übersehen; er spürt Erlebnissen und Gedanken nach, die ihn inspirieren oder beunruhigen – auch, aber nicht nur, in der Politik. Er verbindet das Kleine mit dem Großen, das Absurde mit der Analyse und spiegelt das widersprüchliche Lebensgefühl unserer Zeit in einem lakonischen, immer wieder auch selbstironischen Stil.
