A Delicate Balance of Reason is an observational critique of the contemporary 'culture wars' through the eyes of someone who has experienced the full weight of their effects firsthand. Flashpoint topics such as the trans debate, academic free speech, cancel culture and 'presentism' in art and literature are all covered; elsewhere there are more gonzo-esque, snapshot takes - caught, tidied up, and delivered with algorithmic immediacy.

In the past, one of the most cherished American values was the truth. When people dealt with dilemmas, issues, opinions, and decisions, their first question was “What is the truth in this situation?” Now people are concerned only with what they think, feel, and want.

The stated goals of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs are often reasonable, if not noble—to create a more welcoming and inclusive environment for all. Yet, as more and more people are discovering, DEI as commonly practiced isn't a natural extension of past civil rights movements or an ethical framework for opposing discrimination on the grounds of race, sex, etc. Rather, it is inextricably connected with an illiberal and authoritarian ideology—Critical Social Justice—that demands adherence to its tenets and punishes any dissent from its dogma.

Drawing on fascinating examples from diverse social contexts, Don't Take It Personally introduces a general framework to better understand the deeper connection between seemingly disparate phenomena, from racial profiling and hate crimes to "secret Santa" gifting.

Die Welt, in der wir leben, ist kompliziert und vielen Menschen fremd geworden. Immer mehr Gruppen, von denen wir früher wenig bis nichts hörten, drängen in die Öffentlichkeit, um für ihre Anliegen zu werben oder gar der Gesellschaft vorzuschreiben, was sie zu tun hat. Wie kann der Erfolg dieser sogenannten Identitätspolitik erklärt werden? Und wie sollte die Kirche darauf reagieren? Der Historiker Carl R. Trueman zeigt in diesem Buch auf verständliche Weise, welche Einflüsse unsere Kultur in die Richtung eines expressiven Individualismus bewegt haben.

Using colorful examples—from a wellness guru's tragic but fabricated backstory to the blunders that led to the Deepwater Horizon disaster to the diet that ensnared millions yet hastened its founder's death—Edmans highlights the biases that cause us to mistake statements for facts, facts for data, data for evidence, and evidence for proof.

"Este es el manual de la industria de las relaciones públicas. Bernays es una especie de gurú. Su gran golpe, el que le catapultó a la fama en la década de 1920, fue conseguir que las mujeres empezaran a fumar. En esa época las mujeres no fumaban y él lanzó campañas masivas para Chesterfield.

El Contrato Social, escrito por Rousseau en 1762, es un tratado político fundamental que defiende la idea de un contrato social basado en la voluntad general de la población.

La obra discute los conceptos de democracia directa, la importancia de la participación ciudadana y la necesidad de un gobierno legítimo basado en el consentimiento de la población.
