Forget Every "Black" book you ever read or listened to; this Book is NOT "your black" book! This is the story of a first time author, who calls himself "Uncle Meshorn", as he debunks every label by which "uncle sam" has branded him with, including "uncle tom." If MeShorn is NOT "your black", America, then who is he? As soon as you think you can "box" MeShorn into "one of yours", you will have to embarrassingly pull him out, as you read the next chapter! Yet, this book is not just about who he is, rather who you are.

Our education is concerned with the accumulation of knowledge. Very few of us are capable of living a life without the influence of specialists. What is the point of going to a university, getting a degree and disappearing into the vast structure of society? Q: How shall we approach the idea of study? If you express from something already accumulated it is a deadly bore, but if you are all the time watching, not only yourself but the world, you are learning.

В сборник трудов крупнейшего теоретика и первого распространителя марксизма в России Г.В. Плеханова вошла небольшая часть работ, позволяющая судить о динамике творческой мысли Георгия Валентиновича.

Questo libro parte da un’idea: che la nonviolenza sia efficace e, comunque, necessaria. Ma soprattutto che sia una pratica attualissima. Un rifiuto attivo, che si realizza in una proposta filosofica e soprattutto pratica. Questo approccio ottimistico ma concreto alla realtà è in grado di sostenere una rivoluzione permanente: non solo nel rifiuto (della guerra, dell’autoritarismo, della violenza), ma nella ri-evoluzione della società, mezzo per l’affermazione dei diritti, la trasformazione dei rapporti, la distribuzione del potere di tutti.

"Brudstykker af en anarkistisk antropologi" er en lille bog med store tanker om en mulig anden verden. I et syvdelt essay reflekterer antropologen David Graeber over samtidens politiske bevægelser, den anarkistiske politiske filosofi og antropologiens enestående position som levende samfundsvidenskab. I korte manifester og tankeeksperimenter stilles der spørgsmålstegn ved aspekter af vores levevis, vi tager for givet. Samtidigt viser eksempler fra antropologien, at mennesker både har levet og fortsat lever på måder, der er mere frie fra hierarkier, statsmagt og undertrykkelse.

Comment retisser les liens sociaux dans notre monde en guerre ? Loretta Napoleoni nous propose, à travers la métaphore du tricot, de penser à un futur plus uni.

Jean-Claude Michéa a choisi en 2016 de s'installer dans un petit village des Landes, pour rompre avec le style de vie des grandes métropoles et sa logique du "toujours plus". C'est donc à partir de cette expérience de la "France périphérique" qu'il a mûri ce nouvel essai, qui nous offre une réflexion critique extrêmement originale et stimulante sur nos sociétés dites "progressistes". Il s'y emploie à mettre au jour les conséquences ultimes du mode de développement capitaliste et libéral, qui revêt de façon de plus en plus évidente la forme d'une fuite en avant suicidaire dans tous les domaines.

This book is a collection of Hindi poetries, songs, Shayari, ghazals, and nazams, one may classify as wish but actually these are the words that are able to conclude half of their journey from author's heart to paper, and now it's time to conclude the remaining half, from this audiobook to your heart.

Audiokniha představuje několik let uvažování o společnosti, přírodě a nás samých. První část se týká naší současné situace, která se ocitá na hraně mezi hněvem a soucitem, mezi ničením a tvorbou. Na změnu jsme málo psychologicky připraveni, a proto je nutné si vybudovat nějakou formu aktivní obrany. Dále se však ukáže, že pouhá sebeobrana nestačí, protože je také nutné být tvořivý.

Every week, political pundits publish books promoting one side (the pundit’s) as good, and the other side as evil. Whether the pundit promotes a liberal or conservative view, the book convinces zealots, and annoys everyone else. For the rest of us, we see and feel the problem. Psychologists teach us why and how the problem exists. Politicians leverage the problem to gain personal political advantage.

Credevamo di essere onnipotenti e sbagliavamo. Credevamo di aver capito tutto e non avevamo capito niente. Gli anni della pandemia hanno costituito un grande reset, per tante certezze e tante convinzioni, e il risultato è un trauma collettivo di cui oggi viviamo le conseguenze: una situazione di gravissimo contrasto sociale, patologie psicologiche diffuse in forme acute soprattutto tra i giovani, un'incertezza generale sul futuro. Dobbiamo ritrovare un filo di Arianna in ciò che abbiamo vissuto e usarlo per ricucire la trama della nostra convivenza, se vogliamo sopravvivere come specie.

Als die öffentlichen Zustände sich so verschlimmerten, dass keine Aussicht auf Herstellung der Ordnung mehr vorhanden war, soll Laotse sich zurückgezogen haben. Als er an den Grenzpass Han Gu gekommen sei, habe ihm der Grenzbeamte Yin Hi gebeten, ihm etwas Schriftliches zu hinterlassen. Darauf habe er den Toateking, bestehend aus mehr als 5000 chinesischen Zeichen, niedergeschrieben und ihm übergeben. Dann sei er nach Westen gegangen, kein Mensch weiß wohin. ... Satirischer oder düsterer Grundton unüberhörbar.

Denostado, incomprendido, relegado durante siglos al olvido, Epicuro propuso con su filosofía un camino para alcanzar algo tan esquivo para sus contemporá- neos como lo sigue siendo para nosotros: la felicidad. Y lo hizo de una forma simple y coherente, alejándose a un tiempo de la búsqueda incesante del placer—empresa vana, con la que no logramos sino acrecentar más y más nuestros deseos—y del ascetismo extremo propio de doctrinas rígidas como el estoicismo.

Pocos clásicos están tan vivos, tienen tanto que decirnos, como Michel de Montaigne, autor de los Ensayos. De su mano, este libro intenta dar respuesta a una pregunta que a todos nos concierne: ¿cómo vivir, felizmente, una vida humana?
