Over the past decades, a healthy appreciation for the culture and heritage of minorities has transformed into an obsession with group identity in all its forms. A new ideology - which Yascha Mounk terms the 'identity synthesis' - seeks to put each citizen's matrix of identities at the heart of social, cultural and political life. This, he argues, is The Identity Trap. Mounk traces the intellectual origin of these ideas. He tells the story of how they were able to win tremendous power over the past decade.

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.”

Dieses Buch ist der Aufruf zu einer neuen Klarheit des Denkens. Denn die Probleme von morgen können wir nicht mit der Denkweise und Philosophie von gestern bekämpfen. Wenn die wichtigsten politischen und philosophischen Errungenschaften der Aufklärung - Demokratie, Menschenrechte, evidenzbasiertes Denken - überleben sollen, müssen wir eine Lebensweise und ein Verständnis der Welt entwickeln, die dem menschlichen Wohlergehen verpflichtet sind und von planetarischer Gerechtigkeit getragen werden.

Credevamo di essere onnipotenti e sbagliavamo. Credevamo di aver capito tutto e non avevamo capito niente. Gli anni della pandemia hanno costituito un grande reset, per tante certezze e tante convinzioni, e il risultato è un trauma collettivo di cui oggi viviamo le conseguenze: una situazione di gravissimo contrasto sociale, patologie psicologiche diffuse in forme acute soprattutto tra i giovani, un'incertezza generale sul futuro. Dobbiamo ritrovare un filo di Arianna in ciò che abbiamo vissuto e usarlo per ricucire la trama della nostra convivenza, se vogliamo sopravvivere come specie.

Als die öffentlichen Zustände sich so verschlimmerten, dass keine Aussicht auf Herstellung der Ordnung mehr vorhanden war, soll Laotse sich zurückgezogen haben. Als er an den Grenzpass Han Gu gekommen sei, habe ihm der Grenzbeamte Yin Hi gebeten, ihm etwas Schriftliches zu hinterlassen. Darauf habe er den Toateking, bestehend aus mehr als 5000 chinesischen Zeichen, niedergeschrieben und ihm übergeben. Dann sei er nach Westen gegangen, kein Mensch weiß wohin. ... Satirischer oder düsterer Grundton unüberhörbar.

Every week, political pundits publish books promoting one side (the pundit’s) as good, and the other side as evil. Whether the pundit promotes a liberal or conservative view, the book convinces zealots, and annoys everyone else. For the rest of us, we see and feel the problem. Psychologists teach us why and how the problem exists. Politicians leverage the problem to gain personal political advantage.

Critical theory emerged in the 1920s from the work of the Frankfurt School, the circle of German-Jewish academics who sought to diagnose—and, if at all possible, cure—the ills of society, particularly fascism and capitalism. In this book, Stephen Eric Bronner provides sketches of leading representatives of the critical tradition (such as George Lukács and Ernst Bloch, Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin, Herbert Marcuse and Jurgen Habermas) as well as many of its seminal texts and empirical investigations.

Denostado, incomprendido, relegado durante siglos al olvido, Epicuro propuso con su filosofía un camino para alcanzar algo tan esquivo para sus contemporá- neos como lo sigue siendo para nosotros: la felicidad. Y lo hizo de una forma simple y coherente, alejándose a un tiempo de la búsqueda incesante del placer—empresa vana, con la que no logramos sino acrecentar más y más nuestros deseos—y del ascetismo extremo propio de doctrinas rígidas como el estoicismo.

Pocos clásicos están tan vivos, tienen tanto que decirnos, como Michel de Montaigne, autor de los Ensayos. De su mano, este libro intenta dar respuesta a una pregunta que a todos nos concierne: ¿cómo vivir, felizmente, una vida humana?

Sette luoghi comuni. Sette bugie. Da “studia tanto e tutto andrà bene” a “se lavori come si deve presto avrai i soldi per comprare casa”, da “la politica si occuperà dei giovani” a “ormai facciamo sempre così, è troppo tardi per cambiare”: Beniamino Pagliaro racconta i problemi che le generazioni recenti si sono trovate ad affrontare, dai contratti meno tutelati a pensioni fantasma e quantomai ipotetiche, sempre con la certezza di trovarsi poi, per la prima volta in più di un secolo, più poveri dei propri genitori.

È PROPRIO VERO CHE SE AMIAMO IL NOSTRO LAVORO NON LAVOREREMO MAI UN GIORNO NELLA NOSTRA VITA O SIAMO SOTTO L’EFFETTO DI UN INCANTESIMO? “Oggi sembra impossibile fare del lavoro – che è diventato una vera e propria tortura di massa – uno strumento di educazione al vivere comune. Eppure è una delle poche strade rimaste per non autodistruggerci in una manciata di anni. Ma per dare nuova dignità al lavoro, bisogna cominciare con il metterlo seriamente in discussione.” Efficienti, dinamici, creativi. Ma anche: sovraccarichi, avviliti, depressi.

Das wichtigste Buch vom Autor des Weltbestsellers „Der Schwarze Schwan" Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Wir leben in einer unsicheren Welt, und das System, das sie beherrscht, hat auf dramatische Weise vorgeführt, wie zerbrechlich es ist. Und doch haben wir nichts daraus gelernt und setzen dieser Fragilität keine „Antifragilität“ entgegen. Nassim Nicholas Taleb zeigt uns indes, wie das gehen kann. In seinem Weltbestseller „Der Schwarze Schwan“ problematisierte Taleb die zunehmende Unberechenbarkeit der Welt.

You might not know it yet, but you and everyone on Earth are experimental philosophers; building our view on life, and the worlds inside and outside us. We experience, research, and discover these worlds, beginning in childhood and continuing to do so for as long as we live.

In quest'opera di Friedrich Nietzsche le idee del "superuomo" e dell'"eterno ritorno" raggiungono una forma compiuta. Dopo dieci anni di solitudine Zarathustra sente il bisogno di donare agli uomini la sua sapienza, ma il popolo distratto ride delle sue parole. Dovrà così cercarsi dei discepoli cui indirizzare i suoi discorsi. Tema dei discorsi è la ribellione alla cultura e alla morale dominanti e la visione della vita come forza indomabile e della volontà come strumento di affermazione.

Shoji Morimoto was constantly being told that he was a ‘do-nothing’ because he lacked initiative. Dispirited and unemployed, it occurred to him that if he was so good at doing nothing, perhaps he could turn it into a business. And with one tweet, he began his business of renting himself out, to do nothing. In Rental Person Who Does Nothing, Morimoto chronicles his extraordinary experiences in his unique line of work and reflects on how we consider relationships, jobs and family in our search for meaningful connection and purpose in life.
