Klickzahlen, Fitnesstracker, Bestsellerlisten, Politikerrankings: Unsere Gesellschaft ist besessen von Scores. Der Philosoph C. Thi Nguyen deckt auf, wie Scores zu einem der prägendsten Werkzeuge unserer Zeit geworden sind – und warum wir dringend ihre Wirkungsweise verstehen müssen. Nguyen demonstriert an lebensnahen Beispielen, dass diese scheinbar harmlosen Zahlen uns tatsächlich dazu verleiten, fremde Werte unhinterfragt zu übernehmen. Wenn aber in unserer Beziehung zu unserer Gesundheit, unseren Jobs oder Lieblingsbeschäftigungen nur noch Scores zählen, verarmt unser Leben.

La tesi di Murgia è che l'odio possa essere una virtù, dipende da come lo pratichiamo. Per esempio, con Odio gli indifferenti Antonio Gramsci ha mostrato che, se riconosciuto e disciplinato, questo sentimento non è per forza distruttivo. Passando dalle maledizioni sarde ai salmi biblici, da Grazia Deledda alle lettere di san Paolo, Murgia smonta i nostri pregiudizi e rivendica il diritto di odiare – specialmente i prevaricatori, i prepotenti, tutti coloro che non credono nella responsabilità collettiva del bene.

Changing the world is difficult. One reason is that the most important problems, like climate change, racism, and poverty, are structural. They emerge from our collective practices: laws, economies, history, culture, norms, and built environments. The dilemma is that there is no way to make structural change without individual people making different—more structure-facing—decisions.

El nuevo ensayo de José Sánchez Tortosa nos ofrece una profunda y poco complaciente radiografía de la sociedad actual. En él disecciona algunos de los fenómenos más inquietantes de nuestra época: el auge del tribalismo identitario, la extensión del narcisismo a ultranza, la desconexión de amplísimas capas de población respecto al saber humanístico y filosófico, la degradación de la educación, la feudalización digital, el infantilismo y la sentimentalización de la política, la ruptura de una idea compartida de ciudadanía, las manifestaciones renovadas de antisemitismo…

“Fake news.” “Alternative facts.” “Post-truth.” Misinformation is everywhere, sparking public confusion and polarization. In Truth, best-selling author Michael Shermer cuts through the noise to argue that not only does truth still matter—but also that it’s essential to our individual and collective flourishing. This sharp-sighted and accessible book provides a framework for thinking more clearly in an age clouded by doubt and distortion.

Philipp Hübl führt intelligent und unterhaltsam in die moderne Philosophie ein und gibt klare Antworten auf die großen Fragen des Lebens: Gibt es Gott? Kann man ohne Gefühle leben? Sind wir frei in unseren Entscheidungen? Haben Träume eine Funktion? Warum ist uns Schönheit so wichtig? Hat der Tod einen Sinn? Wer dem weißen Kaninchen folgt, sieht das Wunderland der Wirklichkeit mit neuen Augen. Es ist eine Jagd mit reicher Beute, hin und her, querweltein, durchs ganze Leben und zurück.

The truth about culture, immigrants wont say about their own people. Regardless of the reasons, none of them should hold higher value than the inevitable truth about the disruptive and dissonant experiences of immigrants who refuse to integrate into the dominant society in which they are expected to live, operate, and function in. Culture plays a significant role in our identity as a collective people, however, at what cost should culture be followed and practiced?

Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) is now generally recognized as one of the most influential thinkers of the last century. This Very Short Introduction explores his extraordinary life and thought. His complex system of criticism is difficult for many, but it is coherent in its combination of a Judaic theological perspective with cultural Marxism. Benjamin's distinctive approach considered literary criticism, visual media, and the impact of cosmopolitanism. This innovative messianic understanding of history would go on to inspire countless critics and even entire schools of academia.

Da dicembre 2021 a luglio 2022 la più autorevole figura internazionale a disposizione dell'Italia, l'ex presidente della Banca Centrale Europea Mario Draghi, è passato dall'essere il presidente del Consiglio con un piede e mezzo al Quirinale alla rappresentazione vivente di come il Palazzo sia in grado di logorare chiunque.

In the age of comfort, a quiet collapse is happening inside people—not in governments, not in economies, but in the minds of ordinary adults who can no longer handle ordinary life. The Weak Generation tears apart the myths we hide behind and exposes why emotional weakness is rising while real resilience is disappearing.

En nombre de la lucha contra la discriminación, esta religión surgida en las universidades estadounidenses predica verdades bastante inusuales: su «teoría de género» sostiene que el sexo y el cuerpo no existen, y que solo cuenta la conciencia. Su «teoría crítica de la raza» afirma que todos los blancos son racistas, pero que ninguna persona «racializada» puede serlo. Su «epistemología del punto de vista» sostiene que todo conocimiento está localizado y que no existe ciencia objetiva, ni siquiera en las disciplinas tradicionales.

Across society, people sensed a quiet dislocation — a feeling that the world they knew no longer matched the world they inhabited. Institutions wavered. Narratives fractured. The pace of life accelerated beyond comprehension. Beneath the noise, something deeper was happening: modern culture had entered a form of exile.

Con esta premisa, El mito del fracaso español hace un recorrido, desde los años 80 del pasado siglo hasta hoy, por la simbología patria, los discursos sobre el pasado imperial, la obsesión por la decadencia, el debate de «las dos Españas», los discursos de odio a lo español o la crisis del régimen del 78. Un libro esclarecedor sobre cómo las interpretaciones de nuestro pasado, nos gusten o no, siguen ejerciendo una poderosa influencia en el modo en que los españoles nos percibimos, cómo entendemos la política o la capacidad para resolver nuestros problemas en tiempos líquidos.

Revolution for Christmas 2026: Learning from Che offers a powerful and timely examination of Ernesto “Che” Guevara's ideas—rooted in compassion, courage, and the belief that ordinary people can help shape a better world. Instead of presenting him as a distant historical figure, this work explores what his teachings can contribute to a time when democratic values feel increasingly strained and human rights are under growing pressure.

Die Lehrerin, die Noten nicht zur Ermutigung vergeben kann, die Ärztin, die Bildschirme statt Patienten behandelt, der Schiri, dessen Augenmaß vom VAR verdrängt wird: Unmerklich verändert sich in der Gegenwartsgesellschaft der Charakter unseres Handelns. Insbesondere im Berufsleben, aber zunehmend auch in der Freizeit zeichnen uns Richtlinien und Formulare, Algorithmen und Apps die Wege zur Entscheidungsfindung minutiös vor. An die Stelle situationssensiblen Überlegens und Urteilens tritt die konstellationsbasierte Vollzugslogik der Maschinen, mit denen wir tagein, tagaus hantieren.

From one of our greatest voices in modern philosophy, author of The Course of Love, The Consolations of Philosophy, Religion for Atheists and The School of Life The Architecture of Happiness explores the fascinating hidden links between the buildings we live in and our long-term wellbeing...

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.
