Political Philosophy

Margaret Wheatley proposes that citizens band together with their colleagues and friends to create the solutions for social change, both locally and globally, that are so badly needed. Such change will not come from governments or corporations but from the ageless process of thinking together in conversation. Turning to One Another encourages this process.

Seit Menschengedenken wird gelogen - aus Neid, Habgier, Rache, Not, Liebe, Angst und Wut. Aber wie entsteht die Schwäche des Lügens in uns und wie nutzen wir sie für unsere Ziele? Serdar Somuncu deckt anhand vieler Beispiele schonungslos und offen auf, was hinter den Lügen steckt und was sie für uns und unsere Gesellschaft bedeuten, wobei die Wahrheit in jeder Lüge gar nicht allzu weit entfernt ist.

Ira Chaleff, an expert in political followership and one of the 100 “Best Minds in Leadership,” reveals how political followers can make or “brake” toxic leaders, and what we can do—no matter our level of political influence or where we sit on the political spectrum—to support beneficial leaders and stop the rise of would-be tyrants.

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469 - 1527) gilt als eine der bedeutendsten Staatsphilosophen der Neuzeit. Sein Standardwerk Der Fürst ist noch immer Pflichtlektüre für Manager und BWL-Studenten.

Er bedient sich dabei der römischen Geschichte und zeigt viele Beispiele, wie das zu Machiavellis Zeit darniederliegende Italien zu neuem Ruhm gelangen könne.

My initial reason for writing this book and its thesis was in response to a growing movement in the world to remove freedom and personal responsibility from the ethos of our time. I’ve viewed the spreading of personal freedoms across the world as one of the most consequential developments in recorded history. As such, the removal of freedom seems to be a harbinger of death and decline in society. This realization, along with the births of my sons, has led me down a road of contemplation and discovery. It took me months of thought and personal deliberation to finalize my views on our society.

En 1776, les 13 colonies anglaises qui deviendront les 13 premiers États des États-Unis d'Amérique déclaraient leur indépendance, mais l'Angleterre, pour des raisons politiques et économiques, ne leur a octroyé cette indépendance qu'en 1783 après une guerre qui aura duré sept ans.

In Nordic Ideology, the anticipated sequel to The Listening Society, the great philosopher Hanzi Freinacht strikes again from his refuge in the Alps—now with a yet bolder mission: to write social and political theory as a thriller. This book can be listened to independently of the first one, and it outlines a path to a metamodern society, emerging from the Nordic countries—one that emerges from but ultimately cancels and outcompetes modern society as we know it, while saving the world-system from collapse. How can this be achieved?

Timothy Snyder ist "der führende Interpret unserer düsteren Zeiten" genannt worden. Nur wenige Intellektuelle haben wie er mehr als eine halbe Million Follower bei X und schreiben Bücher, die gleichzeitig in zwei Dutzend Sprachen erscheinen.

Nun legt der unermüdlich gegen Putin wie gegen Trump kämpfende Historiker ein brillantes Buch vor, das erklärt, was Freiheit bedeutet, wie sie oft missverstanden wird und warum sie unsere einzige Chance ist zu überleben.
