The current discussion among liberals in America is that democracy is at stake if Donald J. Trump Sr. wins the American presidency in 2024. But the almost unexamined question is whether America was ever a democracy. This book examines the common definition of the word "democracy" and argues that it is a meaningless word, and does not describe the political reality in America.

But what, exactly, is so scary about gender? In this vital, courageous book, Judith Butler, the ground-breaking philosopher whose influential work has redefined how we think about gender and sexuality, carefully examines how "gender" has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes, fascist formations, and transexclusionary feminists.

Egemonia e intellettuali, nazionale-popolare e cultura rivoluzionaria: questi alcuni dei concetti fondamentali della costellazione teorica elaborato da Antonio Gramsci nella sua lunga reclusione carceraria. Può essa, e in che misura, aiutare a fare luce sul caotico e contraddittorio presente di cui siamo abitatori? Che cos’ha ancora da dirci Gramsci nel tempo della globalizzazione mercatista e della vittoria del capitalismo finanziario? Questo libro prova a ripensare radicalmente Gramsci.

Tendo o príncipe necessidade de saber usar bem a natureza do animal, deve escolher a raposa e o leão, pois o leão não sabe se defender dos laços (das armadilhas) e a raposa não sabe se defender da força bruta dos lobos. Portanto, é preciso ser raposa, para conhecer as armadilhas, e leão, para aterrorizar os lobos.""Um príncipe não deve ter nenhum outro objetivo ou pensamento, nem estudar nada além da guerra e das suas regras e disciplina, pois essa é a única arte que compete a quem governa, e ela é tão forte que não apenas mantém aqueles que nascem príncipes, mas muitas vezes permite a homens de condição comum subir àquele posto.

This Misery of Boots is the expansion of a 1905 essay by H.G. Wells. He presents a very interesting view of society based on Wells’ observations on boots and the misery they cause to those unable to purchase well-fitting and well-designed boots.

This book (in dialogue form) explains what is the nature of politics, and what is the anthropological evolution of the political party by defining the essence of the political left and right and their respective raisons d’etre, what motivates them, and the nature of their ethics. The explanation is contained in 7 Dictums (one set of seven principles each for the Left and the Right). Further, the book demonstrates how the Dictums are relative and explanatory to the rise and fall of empires and the causes of war.

What is it exactly that made for the greatness of Western Civilization? Why did it have its ups and downs, and where do things seem headed today? Ultimately, this two-volume series is as much a political-moral teaching as it is a presentation of the details of the West's wonderful (and sometimes tragic) historical record.

This second volume begins with the picture of the "glory" of this new dynastic-tribal alliance of European monarchs and their fired-up nationalist people, armed with massive industrial might enabling them to take over massive portions of the rest of the world (Asia and Africa). But this energy turns Europeans on each other when finally there are no more overseas lands to capture, resulting in the disastrous "Great War" (1914-1918).

Яркая, полемичная, жесткая работа Ильина, впервые опубликованная в Берлине в 1925г., когда впечатления Гражданской войны и воспоминания об ужасах "красного террора" были у русской эмиграции еще болезненно свежи. В этом посвященном «белым воинам, носителям православного меча» труде властитель дум право-консервативного крыла Русского зарубежья решительно осуждает "непротивленческую" теорию Льва Толстого с ее "сентиментальным морализмом", проводит разграничение между собственно насилием как бессмысленным и жестоким угнетением и "заставлением" - т.е. осознанным и морально оправданным пресечением некоей вредной и опасной деятельности.

Dieses Buch bringt uns die Hannah Arendt nahe, die wir für das 21. Jahrhundert brauchen. Es erzählt, wie die charismatische Philosophin zu ihrem eigenen, sehr besonderen Denken kam, und erklärt, wie wir denken sollten, wenn unsere Politik aus den Fugen gerät. Mit Leidenschaft und brillanter Expertise beleuchtet Lyndsey Stonebridge Arendts Leben und Werk, bringt sie in einen Dialog mit unserer unruhigen Gegenwart – und fordert uns dazu auf, so zu denken wie Hannah Arendt: unerschütterlich, liebevoll und trotzig.

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.
