Aimé Césaire eloquently describes the brutal impact of capitalism and colonialism on both the colonizer and colonized, exposing the contradictions and hypocrisy implicit in western notions of progress and civilization upon encountering the savage, uncultured, or primitive. Here, Césaire reaffirms African values, identity, and culture, and their relevance, reminding us that the relationship between consciousness and reality are extremely complex.

Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men was written in response to a competition run by the Academy of Dijon answering the prompt: What is the origin of inequality among men, and whether such inequality is authorized by natural law? Rousseau puts forth the concept of two types of inequity: natural/physical and moral/political. He focuses on moral inequality and its link to power and wealth. He also covers the areas of self-love, compassion for others, and free-agency.

Discourses on Livy, written in 1531, is as essential to understanding Machiavelli as his famous treatise, The Prince. Equally controversial, it reveals his fundamental preference for a republican state. Comparing the practice of the ancient Romans with that of his contemporaries provided Machiavelli with a consistent point of view in all his works. Machiavelli's close analysis of Livy's history of Rome led him to advance his most original and outspoken view of politics--the belief that a healthy political body was characterized by social friction and conflict rather than by rigid stability.

Born into slavery in the first century AD, Epictetus was a leading Greek philosopher of the Stoic school. He spent most of his life in Rome before the Emperor Domitian banished all philosophers from the city in AD 93; his exile then took him to Nicopolis in Greece. His teachings were recorded by his pupil Arrian, who published both the Encheiridion and Discourses.

Western philosophers have long claimed that God, if such a being exists, is a personal force capable of reason, and that the path to a good human life is also the path to a happy one. But what if these claims prove false, or at least deeply misleading? The Aztecs of central Mexico had a rich philosophical tradition, recorded in Latin script by Spanish clergymen and passed down for centuries in the native Nahuatl language—one of the earliest transcripts being the Huehuetlatolli, or Discourses of the Elders, compiled by Friar Andres de Olmos circa 1535.

In Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius, the posthumous work of the renowned author of The Prince, Machiavelli delves into the valuable lessons history offers for contemporary governance.

Comprendre Malraux, c'est d'abord l'écouter. Sa parole est une illumination. Un éclairage indispensable (...) Au commencement, donc, il y a sa voix. Cette voix, que nous avons voulu faire entendre ici, surgie des limbes, intacte, est un défi au temps qui nous broie et à l’intelligence qui nous manque. Une voix à l’affût des éternelles projections de l’âme humaine. La voix, chez Malraux, est le pendant du regard - ce regard unique qu'il sut porter sur la politique, l'histoire, l'art. C'est la voix de la France.

In a time where patriotism can sometimes be perceived as a rather negative trait, it can be refreshing to listen to the accounts of those who were filled with boundless love for their country.

La fondation du Parti communiste français a mis en scène, sous nos lattitudes, l'un des plus grands rêves humain : fonder une société sur la pratique généralisée du partage. L'histoire de l'actualisation de cette utopie donne toutefois maintes preuves de ses contradictions et de ses abus, voire de ses trahisons.

Refusant résolument, je le cite : "Le contraste entre le faste des uns et le dénuement des autres, entre le labeur accablant et la paresse insolente", Léon Blum s'engagea tardivement mais résolument dans l'arène politique. Mu par une conscience aiguë de l'égalité, naturelle entre les hommes, et révolté par l'inégalité, sociale, existant néanmoins entre eux, il mit ainsi son talent littéraire et son art oratoire au service de son idéal socialiste.
