Imagine this: You're walking past a shallow pond and spot a toddler thrashing around in the water, in obvious danger of drowning. You look around for her parents, but nobody is there. You're the only person who can save her and you must act immediately. But as you approach the pond you remember that you're wearing your most expensive shoes. Wading into the water will ruin them—and might make you late for a meeting. Should you let the child drown?

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.

In the wake of two foiled assassination attempts while Donald Trump was campaigning for President, many of his supporters claimed Trump's survival was an act of Divine intervention, and a sign that Trump was favored by God. In his victory speech, Trump alluded to this. But his survival prompts other questions: Why did God spare Trump, but not the retiree sitting behind him? Why couldn't God have spared everyone that day? And if God is truly omnipotent, why do so many children die in gun violence every year?

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.

Sobre a liberdade (On Liberty, 1859) é uma defesa da individualidade e de sua autonomia diante da sociedade e do Estado. Para Mill, a "tirania da maioria" impõe uma homogeneidade que não é saudável para o desenvolvimento da sociedade. Os indivíduos são livres para fazerem o que quiserem, desde que não causem prejuízo aos seus semelhantes.

Was ist Klasse? Wie entsteht Ungleichheit? Was sind die Quellen von Statushierarchien und Prestige? Sind reiche Menschen bessere Menschen? Oder schlechtere? Hanno Sauer zeigt in diesem brillanten Hörbuch, was Klassenunterschiede sind, wie sie funktionieren und warum sie so schwer loszuwerden sind. Und wie wir die »Logik sozialer Signale« entschlüsseln können, von denen wir umgeben sind. Dabei wird klar: Soziale Klassenunterschiede und Statushierarchien haben einen viel fundamentaleren Einfluss auf unser Denken, unser Handeln und unsere gesamte Gesellschaft, als wir glauben.
