Die Lehrerin, die Noten nicht zur Ermutigung vergeben kann, die Ärztin, die Bildschirme statt Patienten behandelt, der Schiri, dessen Augenmaß vom VAR verdrängt wird: Unmerklich verändert sich in der Gegenwartsgesellschaft der Charakter unseres Handelns. Insbesondere im Berufsleben, aber zunehmend auch in der Freizeit zeichnen uns Richtlinien und Formulare, Algorithmen und Apps die Wege zur Entscheidungsfindung minutiös vor. An die Stelle situationssensiblen Überlegens und Urteilens tritt die konstellationsbasierte Vollzugslogik der Maschinen, mit denen wir tagein, tagaus hantieren.

Critical theory emerged in the 1920s from the work of the Frankfurt School, the circle of German-Jewish academics who sought to diagnose—and, if at all possible, cure—the ills of society, particularly fascism and capitalism. In this book, Stephen Eric Bronner provides sketches of leading representatives of the critical tradition (such as George Lukács and Ernst Bloch, Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin, Herbert Marcuse and Jurgen Habermas) as well as many of its seminal texts and empirical investigations.

We present ourselves and encounter others through profiles. A profile shows us not as we are seen directly but how we are perceived by a broader public. Profile-based identity is evident everywhere from pop culture to politics, marketing to morality. This book argues that the profile marks an epochal shift in our concept of identity and demonstrates why that matters. You and Your Profile blends social theory, philosophy, and cultural critique to unfold an exploration of the way we have come to experience the world.

Byung-Chul Han is one of the most widely read philosophers in Europe today, a member of the new generation of German thinkers that includes Markus Gabriel and Armen Avanessian. In The Agony of Eros, a bestseller in Germany, Han considers the threat to love and desire in today's society. For Han, love requires the courage to accept self-negation for the sake of discovering the Other. In a world of fetishized individualism and technologically mediated social interaction, it is the Other that is eradicated, not the self.

తత్వశాస్త్రం అనే మాట చూడగానే అదే మనకోసం కాదు లే, ఎవరో పండితులకోసం రచయిత రాసుంటుంది రచయిత అనుకుంటే అదే పొరపాటే. తత్వం అంటే ఒక భావం, అభిప్రాయం. ప్రకృతినీ, సమాజాన్నీ అర్థం చేసుకోవాలనే జిజ్ఞాసతో ప్రారంభమైన శాస్త్రమిది. మార్క్స్, ఏంగెల్స్ లను ప్రభావితం చేసినవాడు హెగెల్. "అభివృద్ధి అనేది నిరంతరం ముందుకు వెళుతూ ఉంటుంది. ఏదీ స్థిరంగా ఉండదు. సమాజం మారిపోతూ ఉంటుంది.

Today, we are caught in a shame spiral—a vortex of mutual shaming that pervades everything from politics to social media. We are shamed for our looks, our culture, our ethnicity, our sexuality, our poverty, our wrongdoings, our politics. But what is the point of all this shaming and countershaming? Does it work? And if so, for whom? In Shame, David Keen explores the function of modern shaming, paying particular attention to how shame is instrumentalized and weaponized.

A professor emeritus of philosophy at Princeton University, Harry G. Frankfurt penned a surprise smash hit with his New York Times best seller On Bullshit, which insightfully and wittily captured the human capacity for, and tendency toward, BS. Now he examines the other side of the coin with this equally entertaining and provocative follow-up.

A paradigm-shifting work that revolutionizes our understanding of the origins and structure of science.

The Sane Society is a continuation and extension of the brilliant psychiatric concepts Erich Fromm first formulated in Escape from Freedom; it is also, in many ways, an answer to Freud’s Civilization and its Discontents. Fromm examines man’s escape into over conformity and the danger of robotism in contemporary industrial society: Modern humanity has, he maintains, been alienated from the world of their own creation. Here Fromm offers a complete and systematic exploration of his “humanistic psychoanalysis.”
