Political Philosophy

Amazon Bestseller in Democracy, Political Freedom, Radical Thought, and Fascism. It is a sad fact that the world is awash in political tyrants. 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.

The Three Languages of Politics is a profoundly illuminating exploration of communication in America’s political landscape. Progressives, conservatives, and libertarians are like tribes speaking different languages. This is an accessible, precise, and insightful guide to lowering the barriers coarsening our politics. This is not a book about one ideology over another. Instead, it is a book about how we communicate issues and ideologies and how language intended to persuade instead divides.

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. Sein Weltbestseller Über Tyrannei hat Millionen Menschen in Washington, Kiew und Hongkong ermutigt, sich für die Freiheit einzusetzen und notfalls auch Widerstand zu leisten. 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.

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.

Nel 1964 Norberto Bobbio decide di dedicare le sue lezioni di filosofia del diritto al tema della guerra e della pace. Un tema – non nuovo nella riflessione dei giuristi e dei politologi ma poco frequentato nei corsi universitari – che a Bobbio pare meritevole di essere trattato, non solo perché adatto a una ricostruzione storica e teorica di ampio respiro ma soprattutto perché reso urgente dal pericolo della guerra atomica, nel pieno della crisi dei missili di Cuba.

Государство — диалог Платона, посвящённый проблеме идеального государства. Написан в 360 г. до н. э. С точки зрения Платона, государство является выражением идеи справедливости. В диалоге впервые отчётливо определяются философы как люди, способные постичь то, что вечно тождественно самому себе. В диалоге содержится систематика и краткий критический анализ видов государственного устройства (идеальное «государство будущего», которое пока не существует, в него не входит).

Нікколо Макіавеллі — відомий італійський філософ і політик епохи Відродження, обіймав у Флоренції посаду державного секретаря та відповідав за дипломатичні зв'язки республіки. Його трактат Про військове мистецтво — єдиний політичний твір Макіавеллі, опублікований за життя. Ця праця — одна з кращих книг про військову справу, нарівні з "Записками про галльську війну" Гая Юлія Цезаря і "Мистецтвом війни" Сунь Цзи.

Egemonia e intellettuali, nazionale-popolare e cultura rivoluzionaria: questi alcuni dei concetti fondamentali della costellazione teorica elaborato da Antonio Gramsci nella sua lunga reclusione carceraria. Può essa, e in che misura, aiutare a fare luce sul caotico e contraddittorio presente di cui siamo abitatori? Che cos’ha ancora da dirci Gramsci nel tempo della globalizzazione mercatista e della vittoria del capitalismo finanziario? Questo libro prova a ripensare radicalmente Gramsci.

"Держава" — діалог Платона, присвячений проблемі ідеальної держави. Він був створений у 360 р. до н.е. На думку Платона, держава є втіленням ідеї справедливості. В діалогові вперше чітко вказані філософи як люди, здатні осягнути те, що завжди тотожне самому собі. Діалог містить систематику й короткий критичний аналіз різновидів державного устрою (ідеальна «держава майбутнього», котра поки не існує, до нього не входить), розташованих Платоном за мірилом поступової деградації, що має вигляд еволюції в часі, але незворотність такої еволюції прямо не стверджується.

Why do politicians engage in nasty politics? Why do they use insult, accusations, intimidation, and in rare cases violence against their domestic political opponents? In Nasty Politics, Thomas Zeitzoff answers these questions by examining this global political trend in the US, Ukraine, and Israel and looking at how key leaders such as Trump, Zelensky, and Netanyahu use it. Nasty Politics highlights how it influences the kinds of politicians who run for office and deepens our understanding for why so many politicians now rely on outsized anger and withering insults for political gain.

We are at a turning point in the history of civilization. Anyone watching the news can understand why. Our generation faces the challenges of global warming, misogyny, racism, systemic poverty, oligarchy, and more. Some believe that this will lead to a kind of fascist, environmentally ruined dystopia. Robertson Work, who has spent decades working in poverty-stricken villages and developing countries, does not believe all hope is lost.

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.

يبحث في بعض المفارقات في تطور الفكر الماركسي في هذه الفترة. حيث يبدأ بدراسة النمو الاستثنائي والمتنوع للمادية التاريخية في العالم الأنجلو- أمريكي، متشعباً في مجالات متعددة من التاريخ إلى الاقتصاد، ومن السياسة إلى الأدب، ومن علم الاجتماع إلى الفلسفة. ولكن تلك السنوات نفسها شهدت أيضاً انحساراً شديداً للتأثيرات الماركسية في الثقافات اللاتينية – في فرنسا أو.

Machiavelli, Machiavellist miydi? Mezar taşına “hiçbir övgü bu adın büyüklüğüne erişemez” yazılan Machiavelli, son çağın politik bilimini kurmuş ve bu bilime pratik mantığı sokmak suretiyle de felsefi bir özgünlük kazandırmıştır. Machiavelli, hemen her devirde değişik dünya görüşüne sahip kişilerce göklere çıkarılan veya yerin dibine batırılan ama asla ilgisiz kalınamayan “diri” bir düşünürdür. Prens, işte böyle bir düşünürün, siyaset konusunda hangi ülkeden veya hangi düşünceden olursa olsun herkes için geçerli sayılacak kuramların işlendiği bir yapıttır.

Here, Schoen reveals the 50 truths of power he has learned in his prestigious career as a “Political Insider”, the title of his long-running Fox TV show. It is a book for grown-ups. Power is a serious business. Good decisions can change your world, but bad decisions can too.

In a world rife with willful chaos, how can order be restored? Philosopher Thomas Hobbes’s answer, composed amid the violence of the English Civil War, revolutionized political thought. His solution was a commonwealth, or Leviathan, a body politic ruled and protected by an absolute sovereign. Its power would be dependent on the people to exchange their freedom for the security and order of a common law. Only with this social contract, Hobbes argued, can civil peace be established.

Despite laying out a disquieting case for America’s fall, Borders presents a transpartisan vision for a different kind of society. With a futurist’s foresight, Borders draws from the world’s wisdom traditions to reimagine the American Founding. At the same time, he calls on us all to turn inward, to become better people, and to criticize by creating.

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.
