Political Philosophy

Taming the Rascal Multitude is a judicious selection of essays and interviews from Z Magazine from 1997 to 2014. In each, Chomsky takes up some question of the moment. As such, in sum, the essays provide a historical overview of the history that preceded Trump and the reaction to Trump. The essays situate what followed even without having known what would follow. They explicate what preceded the current era and provide a step-by-step revelation, or how-to, for successfully comprehending social events and relations.

Para aqueles que não conhecem o trabalho de Nicolau Maquiavel, O príncipe pode parecer um manual abstrato para a conduta de um mandatário. Entretanto, este clássico da filosofia moderna, fundador da ciência política, é fruto da época em que foi concebido.

Cynthia Fleury, philosophe et psychanalyste, défriche de nouvelles pistes de réflexion sur le courage et l'expérience du découragement. En tant que psychanalyste, elle observe l'intime du découragement chez ses patients, et remarque les effets pervers de l'organisation du monde du travail et de l'espace politique, sur le psychisme des individus.Convoquant tour à tour Victor Hugo, Diogène, Jankélévitch ou bien encore Amartya Sen, Cynthia Fleury questionne les liens entre l'expérience personnelle du découragement et la société.

Children, if they are to grow up as citizens, must learn a good deal that their parents could not teach them even if they had the necessary time. The statesman must make provision for this teaching or he will presently find himself faced with the impossible task of maintaining civilization with savages instead of citizens

Socialism: Utopian and Scientific is a short book first published in 1880 by German-born socialist Friedrich Engels. The work was primarily extracted from a longer polemic work published in 1876, Anti-Dühring. It first appeared in the French language.

Pure Political Philosophy: Natural Law and Sulaocracy is by philosopher and economist Michael DeVinney. It clearly explains the impossibility of understanding economics without understanding philosophy. Properly defining ethics and morals, using deductive logic, the author applies economic laws to political organizations and identifies various psychological effects that result. To top it off, a recommended listening list is provided which is designed to progressively increase the listener's knowledge.

Pourquoi, en 2026, l’autoritarisme revient-il partout — en politique, au travail, dans les familles — alors qu’on n’a jamais autant parlé de liberté, d’autonomie et de collaboration? Dans ce livre aussi éclairant que mordant, Alain Samson dévoile comment l’autoritarisme se forme, se glisse dans nos habitudes, se camoufle dans nos structures… et pourquoi nous continuons trop souvent à l’accepter.

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.

A stirring defense of liberalism against the dogmatisms of our time from an award-winning and New York Times bestselling author.

Mort en 1831 après avoir succombé au choléra, le Général Carl von Clausewitz laissa derrière lui une œuvre monumentale, non achevée, qui lui valut une reconnaissance posthume sur le plan international. À l'origine, sa "Théorie de la grande Guerre" (Vom Kriege) devait comporter dix volumes. A l'instar d'un Sun Tzu ou d'un Machiavel, le texte de Clausewitz dépasse largement le cadre militaire et se lit comme un véritable traité de philosophie dont les enseignements ont fortement marqué les esprits dans différents domaines des sciences humaines.

When We Fight, They Win isn’t another partisan book pointing fingers at “the other side.” It’s not about proving one party right and the other wrong. It’s about something far bigger—and far more urgent. For decades, Americans have been told to pick a side, blame a side, and fight that side. Meanwhile, both parties, politicians, donors, and media industries profit from keeping us divided. The truth? Division makes America weaker. Unity—real unity—is the only way we reclaim our power as citizens.

Marx est le plus populaires des philisophes, son œuvre couvrant sociologie, philisophie et économie. Selon lui la philosophie théorique doit se faire pratique, inséparable de la transformation radicale de la société. Nous écouterons successivemen des développements sur : la dialectiqu, l'aliénation, l'économie et le sens de l'histoire. Contenu : Le forgeron d'un instrument moderne de la connaissance Le philosophe matérialiste de l'histoire L'analyste implacable de la réaité capitaliste, pt. 1 L'anlyste implacable de la réalité capitaliste, pt. 2 Le briseur de chaînes.

Si l'on veut réellement rassembler la grande majorité des classes populaires autour d'un programme de déconstruction graduelle du système capitaliste (et non pas simplement accroître ses privilèges électoraux), il faut impérativement commencer par remettre en question ce vieux système de clivages fondé sur la "confiance aveugle dans l'idée de progrès".

Originalism, the view that the meaning of a constitutional provision is fixed when it is adopted, was once the fringe theory of a few extremely conservative legal scholars but is now a well-accepted mode of constitutional interpretation. Noted legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky gives a comprehensive analysis of the problems that make originalism unworkable as a method of constitutional interpretation. He argues that the framers themselves never intended constitutional interpretation to be inflexible and shows how it is often impossible to know the "original intent" of any provision.

The untold story of why America is so culturally and politically divided America may be more diverse than ever coast to coast, but the places where we live are becoming increasingly crowded with people who live, think, and vote as we do. This social transformation didn't happed by accident...

In 1848, The Communist Manifesto was published by two émigrés from Germany. Marx and Engels' apocalyptic vision of an insatiable system that penetrates every corner of the world reduces every relationship to that of profit, and burst asunder the old forms of production and of politics. It is still a recognisable picture of our world—the vampiric energy of the system being once again highly contentious. This is a strikingly imaginative take on Marx and what his most haunting book has to say to us today.

The Prince was the first great work of modern political and historical analysis, but it suffered from a tragic flaw: Machiavelli chose as his "hero" Cesare Borgia, the son of Pope Alexander VI, who, unknown to the author, employed murder as one of his tools of statecraft. The Prince has been studied by Hitler, Stalin, Richelieu, Bismarck, and Frederick the Great, among others.
