Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs verkörpern vier Philosoph:innen die Suche nach einem neuen Menschenbild und einer neuen Aufklärung: Theodor W. Adorno, Susan Sontag, Michel Foucault und Paul K. Feyerabend. Mit dem Ziel, die Welt besser zu verstehen und der lebensweltlichen Enge zu entfliehen, gehen sie zwischen Frankfurt, Paris, London, Berkeley und New York neue Wege, die direkt zu den großen Bruchlinien unserer Gegenwart führen. Wolfram Eilenberger legt erneut ein erzählerisches Meisterwerk vor, das Geschichte und Philosophie auf einzigartige Weise verbindet.

In the most rigorous articulation of his philosophical system to date, Slavoj Žižek provides nothing short of a new definition of dialectical materialism. In forging this new materialism, Žižek critiques and challenges not only the work of Alain Badiou, Robert Brandom, Joan Copjec, Quentin Meillassoux, and Julia Kristeva (to name but a few), but everything from popular science and quantum mechanics to sexual difference and analytic philosophy.

The essays in Zero Point ask how we distinguish defeat from disaster, and how we confront despair without collapsing into it - questions never more pertinent than the current moment in the wake of electoral victories for authoritarian populists and unceasing news of violent atrocities. The 'zero-point' of the title is ground level, rock bottom, the place to which one retreats and where one regroups.

A arte da guerra apresenta uma das principais preocupações e um dos principais projetos de Maquiavel: a criação de um exército comunal, que deveria ser constituído pelos habitantes de Florença. Esse projeto e este livro que o apresenta, assim como as outras obras de Maquiavel, são fruto de sua experiência diplomática, que lhe possibilitou um contato direto com os principais protagonistas da política de seu tempo, e das leituras dos clássicos, sobretudo os historiadores e autores latinos de tratados sobre a guerra e a arte militar.

The audiobook Life in the Woods: Walden, and On the Duty of Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau, narrated by Graham Dunlop, offers listeners a profound exploration of Thoreau's philosophy on simple living, self-reliance, and individual conscience. This audiobook combines two of Thoreau's most influential works: Walden, a reflection on simple living in natural surroundings, and On the Duty of Civil Disobedience, an essay advocating for individual resistance to civil government in moral opposition to an unjust state.

Contemporary life is defined by excess. There must always be more, there is never enough. We need a surplus to what we need to be able to truly enjoy what we have. Slavoj Žižek's guide to surplus (and why it's enjoyable) begins by arguing that what is surplus to our needs is by its very nature unsubstantial and unnecessary. But, perversely, without this surplus, we wouldn't be able to enjoy what is substantial and necessary. Indeed, without the surplus we wouldn't be able to identify what was the perfect amount.

The concept of freedom is deceptively simple. We think we understand it, but the moment we try and define it we encounter contradictions. In this new philosophical exploration, Slavoj Žižek argues that the experience of true, radical freedom is transient and fragile. Countering the idea of libertarian individualism, Žižek draws on philosophers Hegel, Kierkegaard and Heidegger, as well as the work of Kandinsky and Agatha Christie to examine the many facets of freedom and what we can learn from each of them.

The concept of disparity has long been a topic of obsession and argument for philosophers but Slavoj Žižek would argue that what disparity and negativity could mean, might mean and should mean for us and our lives has never been more hotly debated. Disparities explores contemporary 'negative' philosophies from Catherine Malabou's plasticity, Julia Kristeva's abjection and Robert Pippin's self-consciousness to the God of negative theology, new realisms and post-humanism and draws a radical line under them.

This book is a meditation on the enduring power — and the quiet danger — of the nation. Drawing from personal memory, philosophical critique, and cultural analysis, it explores how nationalism, though a modern invention, has rooted itself deeply in identity, language, death, and belonging. It questions the myths of origin, the imagined unity of the “we,” and the emotional architecture that transforms patriotism into violence. While honoring the richness of cultural difference, it challenges the need for borders, purity, and exclusion as the basis of political life.

What if the most powerful force shaping the modern world was… nothing? We live in an age of deep uncertainty. Institutions are questioned, truths are fractured, and the search for meaning often feels more like a personal burden than a cultural inheritance. Yet few realise just how much of our present-day worldview is quietly shaped by a radical idea: nihilism—the belief that there is no inherent meaning, purpose, or absolute truth.

What life do you want to live? What country do you want to live in? On the left hand, you have nothing; someone makes all the decisions regarding your life. On the right hand, you have everything, including your life and choice. That freedom of choice brings responsibility, wherein you have to put effort into your life and your freedom. That brings us to honesty, truth, compassion, love, and responsibility--those together make a fist to include penalty. Why is it those six words are not included in our US Constitution?

Here’s the simple truth: Unless you feel inadequate, they cease to exist. The Psychopath Mantra takes you inside the predatory mind of the ruling class.
