In conventional political philosophy, law is understood as consciously created rules that are a necessary mechanism for regulating the excesses of the free market. Although coercive in nature, law is seen as a necessary defense against anarchy. But is the situation that simple? In his examination of the purpose and functioning of the legal system, John Hasnas challenges this false dichotomy, presenting a new theory of liberalism that demonstrates that the common law can serve as an effective alternative to traditional politically created legislation.

When does liberty matter? It is often thought that personal liberty is always valuable and that it has a unique intrinsic value. In The Limits of Liberty, philosopher Sarah Conly argues that it is much less valuable than traditionally believed. Conly posits that liberties that bring good things have value, but liberties that bring bad consequences have no value. This means that in many cases where liberty has been valued, we are mistaken. Restrictions on certain liberties are more acceptable than commonly thought.

I believe that negative thinking is the worst addiction of all! You know the people who are always negative, don’t you? It’s no wonder Americans have become so self-destructive, have low self-esteem and self-worth and are constantly sabotaging themselves. America has become a culture of addiction.

Ecce Homo is Nietzsche's compelling autobiography, written in 1888, just weeks before he succumbed to madness. Nietzsche's last great work, a fascinating and bizarre text, traces the development of his own philosophy and the thinkers who influenced him along the way.

Robert Musil (1880 - 1942) schrieb Weltliteratur (Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften), aber auch scharfsinnige Essays. Vor dem "Wiener Werkbund" hielt er am 11.3. und am 17.3.37 (wegen begeisterter Nachfragen) einen Vortrag über die Dummheit. Mit feiner Ironie und großer Geistesschärfe analysiert er die Geschichte der Dummheit - bis in Musils Gegenwart, also kurz vor dem sogenannten "Anschluss" Österreichs ans Deutsche Reich.

In Our Business Civilization, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian James Truslow Adams delivers a sharp and thoughtful critique of early 20th-century American society. With incisive essays first published in leading magazines of the 1920s, Adams explores how business values and the pursuit of profit came to dominate nearly every aspect of American life—shaping its ethics, culture, and intellectual priorities. He contrasts the American experience with that of Europe, where older institutions such as the aristocracy, church, and professions balanced economic ambitions with cultural depth.

“Lively. . . . Rousing. . . . Prophecy—roving, intelligent, irreducibly idiosyncratic—can expand our sense of possibility, starting now.” —The New York Times Book Review Tech empires are the prophets of the modern day, and like the ancient oracles and medieval astrologers that preceded...

Morris Berman hace la analogía con el Imperio Romano del "pan y circo", sólo que en el caso de Estados Unidos, la estulticia se encarna en la glorificación de los valores corporativos, en el consumismo y entretenimiento masivos, en pocas palabras, en todo lo que proyecta la llamada cultura "McWorld".

Gelesen von Christoph Hackenberg Menschen fühlen sich oft wohl im Kerker ihrer Selbstverständlichkeiten, fühlen sich bedroht, wenn der Blick durch ein Fenster möglich wird, um Anderes zu erspähen, oder wenn sie angeregt werden, sich eine Tür zu suchen, um draußen neues Land zu entdecken. Das trifft nicht nur für Einzelne zu, sondern auch für soziale Systeme wie Unternehmen, Staaten oder Kirchen.

What if the greatest strength of humanity has never been competition, but kindness? This book reveals how compassion is not a fragile ideal but a force inscribed in our biology, confirmed by psychology, and proven by the resilience of societies that nurture it. From childhood lessons and family models to schools, workplaces, and entire communities, it shows how small daily gestures accumulate into powerful habits that transform both inner life and collective destiny.

We live in a time between worlds and a time between stories. The demand, obligation, and joy of this time is to cross over. This is what we have called The Crossing. At the core of the crossing is the evolutionary journey from Homo sapiens to Homo amor. This is not a fanciful conjecture but an authentic evolutionary potential. The root of the meta-crisis is not a crisis of resources; it is a crisis of imagination. We need to reimagine our identity and in doing so reimagine the future. We address anew the three great questions of life: Where am I, where are we? Who am I, who are we?
