Conspiracy theories are as old as politics. But conspiracists today have introduced something new - conspiracy without theory. And the new conspiracism has moved from the fringes to the heart of government with the election of Donald Trump. In A Lot of People Are Saying, Russell Muirhead and Nancy Rosenblum reveal how the new conspiracism differs from classic conspiracy theory, why so few officials speak truth to conspiracy, and what needs to be done to resist it.

"The communists do not preach morality at all"; this line from The Communist Manifesto might seem to settle the question of whether Marxism has anything to offer moral philosophy. Yet, Marx issued both trenchant critiques of "bourgeois" morality and thundering condemnations of capitalism's "vampire-like" destructiveness. He decried commodity-exchange for corroding our ability to value one another for who we are, not how much our lives could be traded away for.

In conventional political philosophy, law is understood as consciously created rules that are a necessary mechanism for regulating the excesses of the free market. Although coercive in nature, law is seen as a necessary defense against anarchy. But is the situation that simple? In his examination of the purpose and functioning of the legal system, John Hasnas challenges this false dichotomy, presenting a new theory of liberalism that demonstrates that the common law can serve as an effective alternative to traditional politically created legislation.

Today, human exceptionalism is the norm. Despite occasional nods to animal welfare, we prioritize humanity, often neglecting the welfare of a vast number of beings. As a result, we use hundreds of billions of vertebrates and trillions of invertebrates every year for a variety of purposes. We also plan to use animals, AI systems, and other nonhumans at even higher levels in the future. Yet as the dominant species, humanity has a responsibility to ask: Which nonhumans matter, how much do they matter, and what do we owe them in a world reshaped by human activity and technology?

An exploration of everything Kant's philosophy can teach us about being the best people we can be, from using our human reasoning to its fullest potential to being affably drunk at dinner parties.

Perhaps the most important work in philosophy after the Allegory of the Cave. Incomparable logic and findings about the things that matter in life with clear, succinct prose.

Wieso enden unsere Meinungsverschiedenheiten in bitteren Fehden, die uns entzweien? Warum können wir nicht mehr gesittet streiten? Woher rührt das peinliche Schweigen in Familien, unter Freunden und Kollegen, sobald es um Politik geht? Ob Coronakrise, Zuwanderung oder Ukrainekrieg: Dass die Gesellschaft wahlweise "polarisiert" oder "gespalten" sei und das Diskussionsklima "vergiftet", hören wir seit Jahren. Doch bisher fehlte eine überzeugende Erklärung dieser verbreiteten Überzeugungen, die nicht einfach solche Floskeln wiederholt.

The effort to destroy facts and make America ungovernable didn't come out of nowhere. It is the culmination of seventy years of strategic denialism. In On Disinformation, Lee McIntyre shows how the war on facts began, and how ordinary citizens can fight back against the scourge of disinformation that is now threatening the very fabric of our society.

Matthew Syed traces the origins and evolution of the word 'woke’ Once a watchword for African Americans in the early 1900s, 'woke' is now used as an insult across the political spectrum, and it has become synonymous with our era of angry debate. As the word has spread, what people mean by it...

"Der Antichrist" - Friedrich Nietzsche. Der sehr religiös aufgezogene Friedrich Nietzsche ging in die Geschichte ein als großer Kritiker christlicher Moral, aber auch Moral per se. In seinem Werk Der Antichrist wendet sich Friedrich Nietzsche offen gegen die Kirche, die seiner Meinung nach das geistige Erbe der Antike zerstört habe, aber auch gegen die christliche Glaubenslehre per se. Er lehnt die gepredigte Mitleidsethik ab und zeigt deutlich seine Verachtung für das Schwache und alles, was nicht nach Höherem strebt.
