In 1748, Montesquieu gave the world its most celebrated political idea: divide power into three branches, and tyranny becomes impossible. Legislatures write the laws, executives enforce them, courts keep everyone honest. It sounded magnificent. It was adopted everywhere. And it has failed everywhere — not occasionally, not in fragile states alone, but systematically, predictably, and for reasons that Montesquieu, brilliant as he was, could never have known.

In the summer of 2020, angry citizens took to the streets of Minneapolis after a recording of the murder of George Floyd went viral. They set fire to a police station, destroyed cars and shops, and clashed with police. In the summer of 2023, violent disorder broke out across France after police...

In the 21st century, it is impossible to avoid seeing atrocities. Pictures of grievous death populate the pages of newspapers and aggregators almost daily. Billboards and banner ads for humanitarian organizations routinely feature scenes of famine and forced displacement. With the spread of...

You were promised freedom. You were taught to be grateful for it. You were told that the system you live in exists to protect it. But what if the word freedom is the most effective tool of control ever invented? The Selective Freedom Paradox strips the word down to its raw truth. Freedom in its purest form is unlivable. Independence, the thing people actually want, is made impossible by design. Every law, every tax, every document, every regulation you interact with daily exists to maintain one thing: your dependency on a system you never agreed to join.

In Choose the Handle That Holds, Becky Schmooke dismantles the myths that make leadership seem out of reach. Through her own candid stories, humor, and lessons from professional athletes, military leaders, media executives, and more, Schmooke proves that leadership isn’t about power but about small, intentional choices that lead to big impact. More than anything, leadership is the difference between merely passing time and truly living.

In Stop Being Reasonable, philosopher and journalist Eleanor Gordon-Smith tells six lucid, gripping stories that show the limits of human reason. From the woman who realised her husband harboured a terrible secret, to the man who left the cult he had been raised in since birth, and the British...

An urgent inter-generational conversation between Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter—a seasoned diplomat, historian, and grieving father whose son fell in Gaza leading soldiers into battle—and Sabrina Soffer, a recent university graduate who passed through the gauntlet of antisemitism on her...

Throughout history, the noblest atrocities have been committed not in defiance of morality but under its banner. The Inquisition tortured in the name of spiritual salvation. Holy wars slaughtered millions to uphold divine virtue. Entire civilizations were dismantled because their customs offended someone else's moral code. Even today, moral convictions fuel bitter conflicts over abortion, vaccination, capital punishment, and countless other issues—not because the participants lack principles, but because they possess them with absolute certainty.

This series is designed to help the lay Christian confidently proclaim and defend the faith. Too many Christians know "what" they believe, but not necessarily "why" they believe it.

This book explores how consciousness is not simply a deep mystery for science, but the source of all value in the universe. Furthermore, this value is not merely imagined; it is as undeniably real as the existence of consciousness itself. This book investigates the implications of an emerging view; that certain conscious states have an inherent ethical significance that is independent of our beliefs, judgments, cultures, and traditions.

What if many of our most cherished assumptions are wrong? In Dark Thoughts, behavioural scientist and author Bob Hurling explores unsettling questions about free will, consciousness, morality, meaning and human nature. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, evolution and physics, he examines the evidence behind the stories we tell ourselves and asks what remains when those stories begin to unravel. This is not a self help book and it offers few comforting conclusions.

How do we engage in public debate with those who do not share our faith commitments? And how do we reason effectively about ethical and political issues that are not directly addressed by Scripture? Written at a level that all Christians can understand, Recovering Natural Law draws from the...

Are you faking it? How many times have you taken a shortcut, or thought about taking one because you were tired of spinning in the same place? Working harder. Trying more. Still not getting clearer or closer to what you believe matters. Here’s the truth. Most people are not failing. They are constantly drifting. No Shortcuts: What It Really Takes is not motivation. It is a code. This book is for people who carry responsibility and want a way forward that does not require pretending, performing, or compromising what matters.

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.

Niemand ist davor gefeit, im Laufe des Lebens aus der Bahn geworfen zu werden − sei es durch eine tiefe Erschöpfung, die sich im Alltag eingeschlichen hat oder durch eine akute psychische Krise. Alain de Botton hat einen empathischen Begleiter für diese herausfordernden Lebensabschnitte geschrieben: Wie gehen wir freundlich und fürsorglich mit uns um, wenn Besserung in weiter Ferne scheint? Welche kleinsten Veränderungen und Kniffe helfen, den entscheidenden Unterschied zu machen? Wie stärken wir unsere Resilienz? Wie finden wir unseren Weg aus der Krise?
