Che cosa sta succedendo oggi ai maschi? Viviamo in un mondo in continuo cambiamento, con grandi contraddizioni, nel quale i ragazzi sono spesso iperprotetti o, al contrario, lasciati a se stessi; nel quale diventano vittime di modelli irrealistici che spopolano sui social media; nel quale le nuove generazioni di padri appaiono incapaci di assolvere al proprio ruolo educativo di esempi di una mascolinità emotivamente consapevole.

American political history has a rhythm and a progression. Part of that progression is White populist anger and resentment. The Forgotten Man and White Populist Resentment: Power, Politics, and Narrative Dominance in the Trump Era traces how this White populism rose to dominate the Republican Party primary base, how the populist campaigns of Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich paved the way for the rise of Donald Trump, and how he maintains narrative dominance over both parties and American political discourse.

„Essais" bedeutet „Versuche" – und genau das unternahm Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592) mit seinem gleichnamigen Werk: Er begründete ein neues literarisches Genre, in dem er sich den großen Fragen seiner Zeit mit persönlichem Blick und philosophischer Offenheit widmete. In stilistisch brillanter Prosa denkt Montaigne über das menschliche Maß, die Grenzen des Wissens und das Wesen des guten Lebens nach. Seine Reflexionen sind zugänglich, zeitlos und überraschend modern.

Ґюстав Лебон — французький психолог, соціолог, антрополог та історик, публіцист, найбільше відомий як засновник соціальної психології і автор одного з перших варіантів доктрини "масового суспільства". Гюстав Ле Бон обстоював ідею расового детермінізму в розвитку цивілізації. Як фундамент соціальної еволюції він розглядав не розум, а ірраціонально-вольову, емоційну сферу психічного життя — почуття і вірування. Психологія народів присвячена питанням утворення, розвитку і згасання людських рас і ролі, яку грають в цих процесах керуючі народом ідеї і люди. Власне, саме ця робота поклала початок соціальній психології як науці.
