Besonders interessant und geradezu zeitlos in der Analyse ist Webers Unterscheidung zwischen "Gesinnungsethik" und "Verantwortungsethik" - Begriffe, die noch heute Politiker in wahre Zwickmühlen bringen können.

For the last two centuries, groups of influential men have, in the professed interest of fiscal responsibility, crime reduction, and outright racism, attempted to control who was allowed to bear children.

German physicians and scientists adopted and then heightened these eugenics practices beginning in 1939.

Modern life numbs us into a trance. We perform, consume, and repeat blindly while drifting further from the natural rhythms that sustain us.

Dans ce livre, le capitaine Nicolas Brault transmet son expérience du commandement, forgée sur le terrain. Il montre comment l'autorité se construit au quotidien, par la clarté, l'écoute et l'exemplarité, bien plus que par le charisme ou la contrainte.

Миру не хватает доброты. Достаточно почитать новости или выйти на улицу, чтобы согласиться с этим утверждением. Но что такое доброта, как она проявляется? В чем разница между вежливостью и добротой? Достаточно ли проявлять сочувствие, заботиться о близких, чтобы быть добрыми? Делает ли доброта нас слабыми и уязвимыми? Донна Кэмерон несколько десятилетий работала в некоммерческих и благотворительных организациях и убедилась, что доброта обладает огромной созидательной силой.
