One in four American workers says their workplace is a "dictatorship." Yet that number almost certainly would be higher if we recognized employers for what they are—private governments with sweeping authoritarian power over our lives. In this compelling book, Elizabeth Anderson examines why, despite all this, we continue to talk as if free markets make workers free, and she proposes a better way to think about the workplace, opening up space for discovering how workers can enjoy real freedom.

War, violence, and the disruption of social orders are critical areas of focus in mimetic theory, and a mimetic perspective applied to the study of politics illuminates social processes and phenomena over and beyond typical explanations offered by mainstream political science. Unlike traditional political science ontology, the mimetic perspective highlights neither individuals nor groups, but “doubles,” or “mimetic twins.”

1812 konnte sich Carl von Clausewitz als Offizier der russischen Armee von der Schlagkraft der französischen Grande Armee überzeugen. Unter diesem Eindruck entwarf er eine Theorie des Krieges. Seine Bestandteile - Politik, Strategie und Taktik - werden untersucht und logischen Regeln unterworfen und politisch-militärische Führungsbegriffe entwickelt - Aufgaben, Verantwortung und Kompetenzen von Politik, Strategie und Taktik werden gegeneinander abgegrenzt. “Der Krieg ist die Fortsetzung der Politik mit anderen Mitteln.”

Wie kann ein Fürst politische Macht erwerben und erhalten? Zahllosen Fürsten und Herrschern diente es als Handbuch für Politik. Oft als Verteidigung des Despotismus und der Tyrannei solcher Herrscher wie Cesare Borgia verstanden - ein Herrscher ist nicht an die überlieferten ethischen Normen gebunden. Nur der Erfolg zählt. Zeitlos modern für alle Gebiete der Wirtschaft und der Politik. Das berühmteste Werk Machiavellis.

The war in Ukraine is the ultimate real-life lesson of what can happen when a country disarms its citizens. Anti-gun zealots in the United States insist that the Second Amendment’s right to keep and bear arms is a “relic.” Try telling that to the people of Ukraine.

"This is the Way." In Star Wars and Philosophy Strikes Back, the Way wends through entirely new adventures in the Star Wars galaxy far, far away: not only the films of the Skywalker saga, but also Rebels, The Bad Batch, Rogue One, Solo, and The Mandalorian. Like the creators of these films and television series, the authors in this book harness the magical mix of humor, action, empathy, characterization, adventure, and fan service that constitutes Star Wars.

Was darf der Staat? Was ist gerecht? Wie im politischen Alltag Macht- und Verteilungsfragen entschieden werden, ist uns zwar vertraut: Mehrheit und Minderheit, Regierung und Opposition, Kampf und Kompromiss. Aber welche Begriffe, Werte und Normen liegen den Spielregeln der politischen Praxis zugrunde? Im Hörbuch »Politische Philosophie« wird vermeintlich Eindeutiges hinterfragt. Prof. Dr. Julian Nida-Rümelin bietet eine lebendige Einführung in die zentralen Begriffe und Theorien der politischen Philosophie.

In this profoundly important reassessment of constitutional interpretation, the eminent legal philosopher Hadley Arkes argues that "originalism" alone is an inadequate answer to the judicial activism of the left. Without recourse to "mere Natural Law"—the moral principles knowable by all—our legal and constitutional system is doomed to incoherence. Brilliant in its analysis, essential in its argument, Mere Natural Law is a must-listen for everyone who cares about the Constitution, morality, and the rule of law.

"He who controls the spice controls the universe." Frank Herbert's Dune saga is the epic story of Paul, son of Duke Leto Atreides, and heir to the massive fortune promised by the desert planet Arrakis and its vast reservoirs of a drug called "spice." To control the spice, Paul and his mother Jessica, a devotee of the pseudo-religious Bene Gesserit order, must find their place in the culture of the desert-dwelling Fremen of Arrakis. Paul must contend with both the devious rival House Harkonnen and the gargantuan desert sandworms—the source of the spice. 

On the face of it, Avatar: The Last Airbender is a story about a lone superhero. However, saving the world is a team effort, embodied in Team Avatar, aka the Gaang.

This volume features contributions by experts on Buddhist, Daoist, Confucian, and Indigenous schools of thought, next to focusing on Western classical authors.

In the third volume of Capital, Marx asserts that - regardless of the efforts of individual capitalists, public authorities or even generous philanthropists - any market economy is inevitably doomed to endure a series of worsening, explosive crises leading finally to complete collapse. But he also offers an inspirational and compelling prediction: that the end of capitalism will culminate, ultimately, in the birth of a far greater form of society.

The Communist Manifesto contains the seeds of Marx's more comprehensive philosophy, which continues to inspire influential economic, political, social, and literary theories. But the Manifesto is most valuable as an historical document, one that led to the greatest political upheaveals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and to the establishment of the Communist governments that until recently ruled half the globe.

Ever since its publication in 1651, Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan has unsettled and challenged how we understand the World. Condemned and vilified by each new generation, Hobbes' cold political vision continues to see through any number of political and ethical vanities. In his wonderfully stimulating book The New Leviathans, John Gray allows us to understand the World of the 2020s with all its contradictions, moral horrors and disappointments through a new reading of Hobbes' classic work.

The term "resentment" has dominated US news analysis since November 2016. Despite its increased use, this word seems to defy easy categorization. Does "resentment" describe many interlocking sentiments, or is it just another way of saying "anger"? Does it suggest an irrational grievance, as opposed to a legitimate callout of injustice? Does it imply political leanings, or is it nonpartisan by nature? Robert A. Schneider explores these questions and more, moving from eighteenth-century Britain to the aftermath of the French Revolution to social movements throughout the twentieth century.

Barbers and beauticians are expertly positioned to have a hand on the pulse of their communities—and Barnard the Barber is no exception.

Écrit en 1934, cet essai propose une réflexion dont la profondeur surprend et dont les conclusions restent d’une actualité criante, dans un contexte où la défense des libertés face aux diverses sources d’oppression nécessite une attention permanente.

Moderate Conservatism: Reclaiming the Center by John Kekes is a response to attacks on the United States' 300-year-old constitutional democracy by extremists on the left and the right. It makes a reasoned case for moderation and the defense of a political system that has endured because it has balanced the often-conflicting claims of justice, liberty, equality, prosperity, and security. That balance is now threatened by extremists who ignore all else but their grievances.
