First published in 1859, the classic and influential essay On Liberty was written by John Stuart Mill. An English philosopher, Mill painstakingly expounded upon his ideas of liberty, individuality, and authority through the lens of utilitarianism.

Through a rich discussion of literature and case studies, he shows that there are compelling reasons to think that the police's widespread use of proactive deception and dishonesty is inconsistent with fundamental norms of political morality—especially norms regarding fraud and the rule of law. Although there are times and places for dishonesty and deception in policing, Hunt evocatively illustrates why those times and places should be much more limited than current practices suggest.

ఎండ్లూరి మానస కథలు చదువుతూ ఉంటే కుల వివక్ష సమకాలీన అవతారం అవగతమవుతుంది. మనుషుల ప్రవర్తన మీద హిందూ సంస్కృతి భావజాలాల పట్టు ఎంత బలంగా ఉందో కనిపిస్తుంది. టెక్నాలజీని తలదన్నుతున్న కులాలజీ అనుభవంలోకొస్తుంది. మన ఆర్థిక హోదాలతో నిమిత్తం లేని సాంఘీక హోదా మనల్ని ఉక్కిరి బిక్కిరి చేస్తుంది. దళిత క్రైస్తవ స్త్రీవాదం నుంచి జనరల్ స్త్రీవాదం వరకు పరచుకున్న బతుకు చిత్రాలు సెన్సిబుల్ చదువరుల్ని ఒకరకమయిన మానసిక పోటుకు గురిచేస్తాయి. చట్రాన్ని చ్ఛేదించుకునే శిల్పం స్వాగతిస్తుంది. మూసలో ఇమడని కథనం, మామూలుగా సాగిపోయే ప్రయోగాత్మక కథానిర్మాణం మానస కథల్ని అలాదు స్థానంలో నిలుపుతాయి.

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.

Today, we are caught in a shame spiral—a vortex of mutual shaming that pervades everything from politics to social media. We are shamed for our looks, our culture, our ethnicity, our sexuality, our poverty, our wrongdoings, our politics. But what is the point of all this shaming and countershaming? Does it work? And if so, for whom? In Shame, David Keen explores the function of modern shaming, paying particular attention to how shame is instrumentalized and weaponized.

Throughout history, a powerful force has hindered the growth of human welfare and happiness. It is more powerful than the Mafia or the military. It has global catastrophic effects and can be found anywhere from the world's most powerful boardrooms to your local bar. It is human stupidity. Carlo M. Cipolla, noted professor of economic history at the UC Berkeley, created this vitally important book in order to detect and neutralize its threat.

The book is one of the most influential ethical treatises of all time. Written in 350 BC, it identifies happiness as life's goal. How do we achieve this goal? Not through the satisfactions that come from pleasure, wealth, or fame. According to Aristotle, the true path to happiness lies in contemplation of philosophic truth. This is the only action through which humans can exercise their distinctively unique trait: the ability to reason.

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.

In this powerful, refreshing new look at the many ways prediction shapes our everyday lives, University of Oxford professor Carissa Véliz explains how putting too much stock in others’ predictions makes us vulnerable to charlatans, con artists, dubious technology, and self-deception.

Political and generational divides often dictate how questions such as these are answered, and when asked most people give automatic answers that roughly align with the broader position they believe is right - though many flounder when asked to detail their reasoning. This creates cultural and political tribes, makes people nervous about engaging at all, or leads to the issues to be trivialised or attributed to the excessive sensitivity of 'snowflakes' to 'identity politics'.

In Lions and Scavengers, Shapiro invites you to take up the mantle of the Lion and defend the principles that shape the freedom of a fair, powerful society. With the stakes higher than ever, this book is a gripping exploration of the ongoing war between those who cherish our nation and those who seek to undermine it.

Most of us have instinctive evidence the world is ending - balmy December days, face-to-face conversation replaced with heads-to-screens zomboidism, a world at constant war, a political system in disarray. We hear some myths and lies so frequently that they feel like truths: Civilization is humankind’s greatest accomplishment. Progress is undeniable. Count your blessings. You’re lucky to be alive here and now. Civilized to Death counters the idea that progress is inherently good, arguing that the "progress" defining our age is analogous to an advancing disease.

A call to save ourselves and our planet by targeting the root of our inaction: extreme shortsightedness.

Even the most reasonable of us can be selective about when we think reasonably—we might take pride in our rationality about professional matters but follow our gut when it comes to social issues, for example. In a world of rabbit holes, echo chambers, and disinformation, how can we keep our heads on straight more consistently? How to Think More and Better offers a philosopher's advice on becoming a more rational and critical thinker.

"Fast-Food" è una tragedia alimentare per essere letta, una parodia del teatro classico calata su un palco immaginario che solo il lettore saprà ricostruire, per rappresentarvela al meglio. Tra un hamburger, una bibita, un cartoccio di patatine fritte e un caffè lungo, tutti rigorosamente americani, si interpongono frasi fatte, espressioni da copia-incolla, personaggi pre-programmati, risposte sommarie, imprecise, non pertinenti e disumane. In un microcosmo o macrocosmo in cui c'è anche da ridere.
