Это сборник статей, написанных автором в разные годы и объединенных одной темой—защитой концепции «разумного эгоизма» как этической основы свободного капиталистического общества. Автор убедительно доказывает, что только в рамках системы, которая ставит во главу угла права личности и разум, люди могут свободно развиваться и обретать счастье, не оказываясь порабощенными диктаторами, государством и другими людьми. А значит—только такую систему можно признать нравственной и соответствующей человеческой природе.

In this wonderfully clarifying essay, Waleed Aly examines what happened to liberalism. As a set of ideas, it offered formal equality and guaranteed freedoms. But more and more, we live in a post-liberal world. Aly looks and how and why this has happened. He discusses what has taken liberalism's place as we tackle thorny questions of freedom of speech and equality of opportunity. And he examines the limits of liberalism, the rise of illiberal democracy and the new battles over identity. This is a supple and original essay about the forces transforming our politics.

Listen to this book if you want to be able to speak with your friends about your social and political beliefs with confidence.

Technological changes in the way we present and process information coupled with inherent features of the free press have changed the nature of the individual citizen's engagement with our elected public servants.

In the eighteenth century, a French tax collector named Claude Adrien Helvétius lit a philosophical bonfire that the authorities tried —and failed —to stamp out. His scandalous equation was simple: every human act, no matter how noble, is driven by self-interest. Virtue is not a divine gift but a calculation. Morality is not a commandment from above but a byproduct of biology, shaped by pleasure, pain, and the relentless machinery of personal advantage. Two and a half centuries later, neuroscience has caught up with the scandal.

Say a name out loud. Cicero. Feynman. Your grandmother. Something has just happened that nobody can fully explain: a noise made in a room has reached out and fastened onto one specific thing in the universe, and it has done so even if almost everything you believe about that thing is wrong. Saul Kripke spent his career on the question of how that trick works, and his answer took the ground out from under two generations of philosophers. Names, he argued, are not shorthand for descriptions. They are anchors.

We have spent sixty years repeating Hannah Arendt’s most famous phrase without noticing that she may have left it half-finished. Evil, she found at the trial of a tidy bureaucrat, was not monstrous but banal. This book takes the sentence and turns it over. What if banality is not a quality that evil sometimes wears, like a gray suit, but the thing itself — the actual machinery by which ordinary people, on ordinary mornings, let the unthinkable become routine?

Im kalten Februar 1400 schreitet ein Junge hinter dem Sarg Richards II. und zweifelt bitterlich an einer Entscheidung seines Vaters. Warum musste Richard sterben? War Gnade denn keine Option? Dieser Dreizehnjährige wird eines Tages König von England sein, wird von den Zeitgenossen verehrt und später von Shakespeare literarisch unsterblich gemacht werden. Henry V. ist der Staatsmann, der besser als jeder andere seiner Zeit versteht, wie man sich auf internationalem Parkett behauptet.

The emergency was supposed to be temporary. That was the whole idea of it. Something terrible happens, the ordinary rules are set aside for a while, and then the rules come back. Somewhere along the way the second half of that sentence quietly stopped happening. Giorgio Agamben has spent thirty years arguing that this is not a malfunction of modern government but its operating principle — that the exception has become the rule, that the camp rather than the city is the true model of our political space, and that power exists to strip human beings down to the bare fact of being alive.

The death toll in Gaza continues to rise―a cold, lifeless number representing entire communities crushed under the weight of settler colonialism. What remains of the theories we use to understand our world? With lyrical and lucid fury, Hamid Dabashi exposes the racist roots of Western philosophy, demanding that listeners overcome its pernicious phantom of relevance. Rather than perceiving "the West" as giving carte blanche to Israel, Dabashi insists that Israel must be understood as its quintessence.
