Roger Scruton’s How to be a Conservative presents the case for modern conservatism not in the terms of an elegy but rather as a practical example of how to live as a conservative despite the pressures to live otherwise. As he writes, the book ‘is not about what we have lost, but about what we have retained, and how to hold on to it’. In this witty and frank account, Scruton draws on his years of experience as a counter-cultural presence in public life.

Conquistar el mundo quizá sea más fácil que conquistar la posteridad. Napoleón, que acarició lo primero, ha conseguido sobradamente lo segundo. Seductor como un encantador de serpientes, cruel tirano y, a la vez, heraldo del mensaje liberador de la Revolución Francesa, genio militar y visionario, su figura ha fascinado a partidarios y detractores por igual.

This book examines the common definition of the word democracy and determines whether this definition conforms with the actual reality of what occurs in nations that call themselves democracies.

Exploring the meanings and powers of love from ancient Greece to the present day, Richard Gilman-Opalsky argues that what is called “love” by the best thinkers who have approached the subject is in fact the beating heart of communism - understood as a way of living, not as a form of government. Along the way, he reveals with clarity that the capitalist way of assigning value to things is incapable of appreciating what humans value most.

La filosofia, se vuole davvero essere all'altezza di una vocazione critica rispetto al mondo e all'esperienza, dovrebbe essere soprattutto un esercizio. Cioè qualcosa che si pratica in prima persona, con un certo margine di rischio.

What if politics as we know it is about to end? What if humanity soon organizes itself not in hierarchies, but in hive minds? Should we fear the robot apocalypse? Welcome to The Social Singularity.

With lively prose, Borders takes us on a tour of modern pagan festivals, cities of the future, and radically new ways to organize society. In so doing, he examines trends likely to revolutionize the ways we live and work.

This book examines two recent events that have apparently ended the conservative Reagan Revolution.

This book explores the nature and essential role of hope in human life under conditions of oppression. Oppression is often a threat and damage to hope, yet many members of oppressed groups, including prominent activists pursuing a more just world, find hope valuable and even essential to their personal and political lives. Katie Stockdale offers a unique evaluative framework for hope that captures its intrinsic value, the rationality and morality of hope, and ultimately how we can hope well in the non-ideal world we share.

Le ambiguità di un pensiero forte. Filosofo, economista, profeta dell'ultima eresia teologico-politica dell'Occidente: l'opinione mondiale si divide fra quanti lo considerano eroe e salvatore del proletariato e quanti vedono in lui il demone simbolo di ogni male. Marx è stato a lungo oggetto di interpretazioni e sentimenti disparati, fino a diventare un'icona resa neutra dalla storia, ritratta nel granitico monumento davanti alla Piazza Rossa di Mosca e posta di fianco a Oliver Hardy sulla copertina di "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" dei Beatles.

Scholars have long debated the meaning of the pursuit of happiness, yet have tended to define it narrowly, focusing on a single intellectual tradition, and on the use of the term within a single text, the Declaration of Independence. In this insightful volume, Carli Conklin considers the pursuit of happiness across a variety of intellectual traditions, and explores its usage in two key legal texts of the Founding Era, the Declaration and William Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England.

In this timely new edition of his classic book A Political Philosophy, celebrated conservative philosopher Roger Scruton interrogates contemporary values, virtues and morality. What principles should govern our relations to animals, the nation state, the environment and other ways of life? What does modern marriage look like? What is Enlightenment, and how has its inheritance made itself known? How should we approach religion, evil and death? What explains the rise of totalitarianism, and how should we respond to nihilism?

Can we human beings agree on a set of values which will allow us to confront the numerous threats that we and our planet face? Or will we continue our disagreements, rivalries, and antipathies, even as we collectively approach what, in the not impossible extreme, might be extinction? To answer these questions, A. C. Grayling considers the three most pressing challenges facing the world: climate change, technology, and justice.

Der kanadische Philosoph Alain Deneault stellt sich der wohl bedrohlichsten aller Bedrohungen: der Mittelmäßigkeit. Die Mittelmäßigkeit schmückt sich selber zwar mit Bildern der Macht, hat aber nicht mehr zu bieten als Konformismus, das Bedienen von Software oder die Einhaltung von Grundsatzwerten. Wir leben in einer Welt, in der eine mediokre Ordnung zum Modell für die gesamte Gesellschaft erhoben wurde und in der Denkfaulheit belohnt wird. Dabei wird nicht etwa Spitzenleistungen und Elitenbildung das Wort gesprochen. Vielmehr geht es in dieser scharfen Analyse um die Ermutigung zum Gebrauch des eigenen Verstandes.
