Un audiolibro inteligente y ágil, que profundiza en las complejas relaciones entre moral y ficción, que vuelven a estar -o acaso nunca han dejado de estarlo- en el centro del debate. ¿Hay arte moralmente condenable? ¿O es el arte inmune al juicio moral? Las respuestas más socorridas que se ofrecen en la esfera pública a estas cuestiones parecen acorralarnos para que elijamos entre las opciones de un solemne dilema. O bien se reclama la suspensión total del juicio moral acerca de la obra de arte o bien se mimetiza el veredicto propio del derecho penal: culpable o inocente.

Birth of the White Man is a philosophical look at the intention behind America's founding in order to educate and encourage dialogue about the system of racism that exists as a result.

The French thinker and political theorist Georges Sorel (1847-1922), fired up by his interest in Marxism and his anger at the injustice of the Dreyfus case, faced this challenge and in the seven chapters of Reflections on Violence he explored the question. It proved sufficiently stimulating over succeeding decades to be espoused by both Marxists and Fascists alike: class struggle, revolution and above all radical change were central to Sorel’s thought.

Toxic culture is eroding our sense of belonging, community and well-being. Our capacity to collaborate and innovate together is also being undermined by the rising incivility and divisiveness. 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.

This is a series of essays penned by Professor David Christopher Lane which were first published on the Integral World website in Europe. Each article emphasizes why focusing on a materialist science is actually helpful for anyone interested in a trans-rational worldview. Professor Lane provides a critical analysis of John White, Brad Reynolds, Ken Wilber, and others concerning the nature of science and its relationship with spirituality.

Marcus Mosiah Garvey (1887 - 1940) was a Jamaican political activist, publisher, entrepreneur, and orator who founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association in 1914. He was one of the first black leaders to encourage black people to discover their cultural traditions and history, and to seek common cause in the struggle for freedom and political recognition. He became a leading pan-Africanist in the United States, where he urged black Americans to return to Africa and preached solidarity among blacks around the world.

This collection of short essays by G.K. Chesterton is as applicable in 2020 as it was when it was written in 1923 during the first "Progressive Era". He saves his most subtle and cutting humor for commentary to skewer his favorite targets: feminists, vegetarians, modernists, journalists, social reformers, psychologists, and "sophisticated" people in general.

John Biguenet explora distintos aspectos que circundan ese elemento tan inasible que es el silencio, desde el silencio comercializado (las salas VIP de los aeropuertos que nos permiten "escapar" del ruido) hasta el silencio aterrador (las cámaras anecoicas donde solo escuchamos el fluir de la sangre por nuestras venas o el latir de nuestro corazón), y nos permite descubrir que no existe "el" silencio, sino distintas formas de silencio.

Por el autor del éxito editorial "El arte de pensar". La presión por destacar en una sociedad donde "el infierno de lo igual" se presenta como una fosa de la que nos exhortan a salir. La necesidad autoimpuesta de las check-list como rituales de obligada ejecución para alcanzar la felicidad. La "ideología de la personalidad" que se manifiesta en forma de bulimia emocional, donde acumulamos y acumulamos experiencias para vomitarlas ipso facto en las redes sociales. La dolorosa brecha, que se agranda por momentos, entre el yo real y el yo virtual.

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.

Vom Kindesalter an übernehmen wir die Denkweisen und Meinungen von Eltern, Lehrern und Mitmenschen. Traditionen, Weltanschauungen, Moral, Religion, Gesetze, Werbung und soziale Medien sind nur einige der Faktoren, die unser Denken und unsere Ansichten und Meinungen prägen. Dabei vergessen wir schnell, dass wir diese Dinge nicht einfach so akzeptieren müssen. Woher kommen Moralvorstellungen? Wie sind Religionen entstanden? Wer hat entschieden, was richtig oder falsch ist? Was ist unser Sinn des Lebens?

Rudolf Eisler stellte schon vor über 100 Jahren fest: "Die organisierten Massen haben zu allen Zeiten eine wichtige Rolle im Völkerleben gespielt, niemals aber in solchem Maße wie heute. Die unbewusste Wirksamkeit der Massen, die an die Stelle der bewussten Tatkraft der einzelnen tritt, bildet ein wesentliches Kennzeichen der Gegenwart." Eine Masse von Intellektuellen ist nicht besser als eine Masse von Proletariern. Eine Masse ist immer nur Gefühlen und einfachen Parolen zugänglich, niemals der Logik.

Vivere è sempre un vivere insieme, convivere: ciò accade in tutti i contesti della vita sociale, dalla famiglia alla scuola, dal condominio al lavoro, dal quartiere allo Stato. A partire da una tesi antica ma quanto mai attuale, secondo cui l'uomo è un animale sociale, Michele Tamponi analizza il concetto di socialità nel contesto in cui viviamo: neppure un'immaginaria campana di vetro potrebbe, insomma, sottrarre l'uomo alle varie forme di convivenza cui è destinato, senza le quali sarebbe condannato alla solitudine, alla noia e a un innaturale isolamento.

Questo audiolibro si confronta con gli enigmi dei diversi modi di essere, femminili e maschili, che si colgono nelle regioni della interiorità lacerata dalla sofferenza psichica; e analizza questi modi di essere in alcune dissonanti esperienze anoressiche, depressive e dissociative, e in alcune emblematiche esperienze poetiche e artistiche divorate da alte tensioni emozionali: quelle, fra le altre, di Emily Dickinson e di Georg Trakl, di Vincent Van Gogh e di Camille Claudel.

Most of us have had this experience: browsing through countless options on Netflix, unable to commit to watching any given movie—and losing so much time skimming reviews and considering trailers that it’s too late to watch anything at all. In a book inspired by an idea first articulated in a viral commencement address, Pete Davis argues that this is the defining characteristic of the moment: keeping our options open. In Dedicated, Davis examines this quagmire, as well as the counterculture of committers who have made it to the other side.

As our civilization careens towards a precipice of climate breakdown, ecological destruction and gaping inequality, people are losing their existential moorings. Our dominant worldview of disconnection, which tells us we are split between mind and body, separate from each other and at odds with the natural world, has passed its expiration date. Yet another world is possible. Award-winning author Jeremy Lent investigates humanity's age-old questions - who am I? why am I? how should I live? - from a fresh perspective.

In Trust in a Polarized Age, political philosopher Kevin Vallier offers a powerful counter-narrative to the prevailing sense of hopelessness that dogs the American political landscape.
