A deep-dive look at how new generations are not a continuance of previous generations but have sworn off the common bonds that held generations together. It is not about old people dying so much is it is about how the traditions, the mindset, even the shared generational values of previous generations no longer are part of new generations.

L'idea che la bellezza sia qualcosa di oggettivo e naturale è una superstizione moderna. Infatti non è mai esistita un'epoca in cui non convivessero estetiche e sensibilità diverse. Il culto della bellezza è diventato una prigione solo di recente: quando le coercizioni materiali verso le donne hanno iniziato ad allentarsi, il canone estetico nei confronti del loro aspetto è diventato rigido e asfissiante, spingendole alla ricerca di una perfezione irraggiungibile.

Brought to you by Penguin. We all notice when the poor get poorer: when there are more rough sleepers and food bank queues start to grow. But if the rich become richer, there is nothing much to see in public and, for most of us, daily life doesn't change. Or at least, not immediately. In this...

Moral Articulation outlines an ethical framework that allows us to embrace a version of the latter, transformative view without sacrificing notions of moral truth, objectivity, and knowledge. The book presents a view of moral meaningfulness as extending beyond what we can presently put into words, urging that expansions in our moral vocabularies often begin in dissonant experiences of conceptual and linguistic limits.

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.

As head of TED for the past 20 years, Chris Anderson has had a ringside view of the world's most significant thinkers sharing their boldest ideas across every imaginable discipline. Yet there's a single theme that stands out in his mind as the essential connecting thread: generosity. It may seem simple, but generosity has played a key role in building the tools, knowledge, and institutions that have allowed civilisation to flourish. Now, in our unsettled modern world, beset by disruption and division, Anderson believes our collective future depends on reconnecting to this vital human trait.

The world is encountering multiple crises—climate, droughts, floods, energy, food, and pandemics, to name a few. We have a problem, this is the solution. Capitalism and Crises is about how capitalism can fix them—how it can solve not cause them. The reason why it has caused them is that we have misconceived the nature of our capitalist system. We have failed to understand the key institution at the heart of it—business—and as a result we have allowed it to cause as well as solve problems. This book describes why this has happened and what needs to change to address it.

Self-Reliance is an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, a prominent American philosopher and essayist from the 19th century. Published in 1841, the essay explores the concept of individualism and the importance of trusting one's own instincts and beliefs. Emerson advocates for the rejection of conformity and societal expectations, encouraging readers to rely on their own intuition and inner convictions. The essay is a powerful call to embrace self-reliance as a means of personal growth and fulfillment, promoting the idea that true wisdom arises from individual experience and authenticity.

For as long as she can remember, Kate Manne has wanted to be smaller. She can tell you what she weighed on any significant occasion: her wedding day, the day she became a professor, the day her daughter was born. She's been bullied and belittled for her size, leading to extreme dieting. As a feminist philosopher, she wanted to believe that she was exempt from the cultural gaslighting that compels so many of us to ignore our hunger. But she was not. Blending intimate stories with the analysis that has become her signature, Manne shows why fatphobia has become a vital social justice issue.

Distraction isn't a new problem. We're also not the first to complain about how hard it is to concentrate. Early Christian monks beat us to it. They had given up everything to focus on God, yet they still struggled to keep the demons of distraction at bay. But rather than surrender to the meandering of their minds, they developed powerful strategies to improve their attention and engagement. How to Focus is an inviting collection of their strikingly relatable insights and advice—frank, funny, sympathetic, and psychologically sophisticated.

For over 240 years, for the most part, the American people have enjoyed a certain amount of civility and prosperity in a free society. There is an operation underway to deliberately throw the United States and the nations of the world off the rails spiritually to cause the chaos the world is experiencing today. Why? To usher in a new age of globalism, complete control over everyone and everything, by just a few at the top. This is just the physical manifestation of an underlying spiritual war.

Forget Every "Black" book you ever read or listened to; this Book is NOT "your black" book! This is the story of a first time author, who calls himself "Uncle Meshorn", as he debunks every label by which "uncle sam" has branded him with, including "uncle tom." If MeShorn is NOT "your black", America, then who is he? As soon as you think you can "box" MeShorn into "one of yours", you will have to embarrassingly pull him out, as you read the next chapter! Yet, this book is not just about who he is, rather who you are.

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.

Jean-Claude Michéa a choisi en 2016 de s'installer dans un petit village des Landes, pour rompre avec le style de vie des grandes métropoles et sa logique du "toujours plus". C'est donc à partir de cette expérience de la "France périphérique" qu'il a mûri ce nouvel essai, qui nous offre une réflexion critique extrêmement originale et stimulante sur nos sociétés dites "progressistes". Il s'y emploie à mettre au jour les conséquences ultimes du mode de développement capitaliste et libéral, qui revêt de façon de plus en plus évidente la forme d'une fuite en avant suicidaire dans tous les domaines.

Comment retisser les liens sociaux dans notre monde en guerre ? Loretta Napoleoni nous propose, à travers la métaphore du tricot, de penser à un futur plus uni.

Questo libro parte da un’idea: che la nonviolenza sia efficace e, comunque, necessaria. Ma soprattutto che sia una pratica attualissima. Un rifiuto attivo, che si realizza in una proposta filosofica e soprattutto pratica. Questo approccio ottimistico ma concreto alla realtà è in grado di sostenere una rivoluzione permanente: non solo nel rifiuto (della guerra, dell’autoritarismo, della violenza), ma nella ri-evoluzione della società, mezzo per l’affermazione dei diritti, la trasformazione dei rapporti, la distribuzione del potere di tutti.

Living together amicably, creatively, in complete relationship with one another – if that is what is essential then we need not only a different kind of mind but also a different quality of affection, love. What is the function of a religious mind? Our struggle in life is dualistic: good and bad, right and wrong, holy and unholy, the ideal and the fact. There is only the fact, not the ideal. Is it possible to look at life as though you are looking for the first time? What is the content of the unconscious?
