Whether we aspire to become the best lawyer or charity worker, life partner or celebrity influencer, we emulate exemplars that exist in the world – hoping it will bring us happiness. But this often leads to a complex game of envy and pride. In Against Identity, philosopher Alexander Douglas seeks an alternative wisdom. Searching the work of three thinkers – ancient Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi, Dutch Enlightenment thinker Benedict de Spinoza, and 20th Century French theorist René Girard – he explores how identity can be a spiritual violence that leads us away from truth.

By following the struggle for survival of one small-town hospital, and the patients who walk, or are carried, through its doors, The Hospital takes listeners into the world of the American medical industry in a way no audiobook has done before. Americans are dying sooner, and living in poorer health. Alexander argues that no plan will solve America’s health crisis until the deeper causes of that crisis are addressed.

Employers are increasingly recruiting their workers into politics to change elections and public policy - sometimes in coercive ways. Using a diverse array of evidence, including national surveys of workers and employers, as well as in-depth interviews with top corporate managers, Alexander Hertel-Fernandez's Politics at Work explains why mobilization of workers has become an appealing corporate political strategy in recent decades.

Transcribed from the original lectures recorded at San Francisco State University in 1987, The Nature of Drugs series highlights Shulgin’s engaging lecture style peppered with illuminating anecdotes and amusing asides. Ostensibly taught as an introductory course on drugs and biochemistry, these books serve as both a historical record of Shulgin’s teaching style and the culmination of his philosophy on drugs, psychopharmacology, states of consciousness, and societal and individual freedoms pertaining to their use, both medicinal and exploratory.

Born during the Civil War into a slaveholding family that included Black, White, and Cherokee forebears, Adella Hunt Logan dedicated herself to advancing political and educational opportunities for the African American community. She taught at Alabama's Tuskegee Institute but also joined the segregated woman suffrage movement, passing for White in order to fight for the rights of people of color. Her determination - as a wife, mother, scholar, and activist - to challenge the draconian restraints of race and gender generated conflicts that precipitated her tragic demise.

Social science is the study of human behavior. It offers the tools to understand and explain people's choices and actions, and how they live in communities. With insights from social science, organizations and individuals may be persuaded to change their behavior, making a difference in addressing societal challenges. Social science can offer us the answers to key questions, such as why do some people gamble, eat unhealthy foods, or hold racist beliefs?

Der Politikwissenschaftler und ZEIT-Herausgeber Yascha Mounk geht dem Ursprung der neuen Ideen über Identität und soziale Gerechtigkeit nach – und erklärt, warum sie ihre hehren Ziele nicht erreichen werden. Über weite Strecken der Geschichte wurden Menschen aufgrund ihrer Ethnie, ihrer Religion oder ihres Geschlechts gewaltsam unterdrückt. Mitglieder dieser Gruppen setzten schließlich auf gegenseitige Solidarität und ein eigenes Identitätsbewusstsein, um diesen Ungerechtigkeiten zu trotzen.

Wokeness ist ein Kampfbegriff geworden. Das gilt sowohl für die Befürworter wie die Gegner einer Einstellung, die sich selbst als "wach" oder "aufmerksam" bezeichnet. Es gibt wenig sachlich begründete Auseinandersetzungen, dafür umso mehr Empörung. In diesem Buch werden zentrale Elemente von Wokeness kritisch geprüft: der Vorwurf der kulturellen Aneignung, die Forderung nach geschlechtergerechter Sprache, die Rede von strukturellem Rassismus, das Instrument der Cancel Culture und die Einführung einer geschlechtlichen Diversität.

Die Auseinandersetzung um Migration und Integration, um Flüchtlings- und Asylpolitik ist angesichts des neuen Zuwanderungshochs wieder in vollem Gange. Gleichzeitig aber gibt es keine europäische Asylpolitik, sind die Außengrenzen der EU löchrig, geht die Bundesregierung von überzogenen Zahlen für die qualifizierte Einwanderung aus, werden die Alarmrufe der Städte und Kommunen kleingeredet, wächst das Unbehagen von immer größeren Teilen der Bevölkerung.
