Born a slave, the Roman Stoic philosopher Epictetus (c. 55-135 AD) taught that mental freedom is supreme, since it can liberate one anywhere, even in a prison. In How to Be Free, A. A. Long - one of the world's leading authorities on Stoicism and a pioneer in its remarkable contemporary revival - provides a superb new edition of Epictetus's celebrated guide to the Stoic philosophy of life (the Encheiridion) along with a selection of related reflections in his Discourses.

Our society is constantly made to serve the needs of two systems: technology and capitalism. Neither exists outside humans, but both are treated as above and beyond us. The Mechanic and the Luddite offers the critical tools needed to deconstruct these systems—how they work, whom they work for, and what work they do in our lives. With signature style and energy, Jathan Sadowski presents a provocative one-stop shop for understanding the political economy of technology and capitalism.

Que ce soit en matière de science, de géopolitique, d'invention, de médecine, d'informatique ou d'art, chaque siècle a offert son lot d'absurdités qui se sont répandues comme autant de vérités, avant d'être elles-mêmes remplacées par de nouvelles absurdités. Souvent érudits, décisionnaires, visionnaires pour leur entreprise, même les meilleurs ont été capables des pensées les plus improbables.

Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that certain people shouldn't practice yoga? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only White people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed to challenge the logic of Western society? In this probing volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields.

Une nuit. Le Panthéon pour enceinte d’un dialogue entre Richard Malka, incroyant bien décidé à rire encore de Dieu, en guerre contre le « respect » nouvellement dû aux religions, et Voltaire, le plus irrévérencieux philosophe des Lumières, défenseur de Calas et du Chevalier de la Barre. Sont-ils d’accord sur tout ? Pas tout à fait. Disciple de Robert Badinter et Georges Kiejman, l’avocat évoque les attentats, les morts, son histoire familiale, sa répulsion envers le prosélytisme et les enfermements communautaires.

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?

This paper proposes a parallel system of intelligent, non-monetary resource distribution modeled on biological metabolism, in which needs are met dynamically through feedback-driven regulation rather than symbolic exchange. Inspired by the way organisms distribute nutrients and resources without currency—using signaling, prioritization, and homeostasis—we outline a framework in which artificial intelligence performs a similar coordinating function at the societal level. Such a system would gradually render traditional money obsolete, not through ideological abolition, but through redundancy.

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.
