Concerns about censorship have once again reached a fever pitch across the liberal West. With a few notable exceptions, complaints about censorship in the twenty-first century West are complaints about the behavior of private parties: employers, media conglomerates, social media platforms, and search engines. To better understand the concerns surrounding nonstate interference with speech, Private Censorship offers an account of censorship, as well as an assessment of the ethical and political issues it raises across contexts.

David Hume es considerado el filósofo en lengua inglesa más importante que jamás haya existido. Sin embargo, en vida se le atacó por su escepticismo religioso, se le llamó el Gran Infiel y se le consideró inapto para instruir a los jóvenes. Adam Smith, en cambio, fue un profesor reverenciado de filosofía moral y a menudo se le ensalza como padre fundador del capitalismo. Lo más asombroso, con todo, es que los dos mantuvieron, según lo define Rasmussen, la amistad más grande que se conoce entre dos filósofos.

Peut-on questionner le système dans lequel nous vivons ? L’élection offre-t-elle réellement le pouvoir au peuple ?? En l’état, ce procédé ne nous condamne-t-il pas à donner le contrôle à des puissances financières colossales, lesquelles ont d’une part les moyens de financer les campagnes électorales des candidats qu’elles veulent voir élire, et d’autre part de s’acheter les médias à des fins de propagande et de pilotage desdites campagnes électorales ?? Mais lorsqu’on se pose ces questions pourtant essentielles, l’étiquette “ complotiste “ tombe rapidement.

War Is a Racket is Marine General Smedley Butler's classic treatise on why wars are conducted, who profits from them, and who pays the price. Few people are as qualified as General Butler to advance the argument encapsulated in his book's sensational title. When War Is a Racket was first published in 1935, Butler was the most decorated American soldier of his time. He had led several successful military operations in the Caribbean and in Central America, as well as in Europe during the First World War.

Many contemporary political thinkers are gripped by the belief that their task is to develop an ideal theory of rights or justice for guiding and judging political actions. But in Philosophy and Real Politics, Raymond Geuss argues that philosophers should first try to understand why real political actors behave as they actually do. Far from being applied ethics, politics is a skill that allows people to survive and persue their goals.

Plato is perhaps the most significant philosopher who has ever lived, and The Republic, composed in Athens in about 375 BC, is widely regarded as his most famous dialogue. Its discussion of the perfect city and the perfect mind laid the foundations for Western culture and, for over 2,000 years, has been the cornerstone of Western philosophy.

A arte da guerra apresenta uma das principais preocupações e um dos principais projetos de Maquiavel: a criação de um exército comunal, que deveria ser constituído pelos habitantes de Florença. Esse projeto e este livro que o apresenta, assim como as outras obras de Maquiavel, são fruto de sua experiência diplomática, que lhe possibilitou um contato direto com os principais protagonistas da política de seu tempo, e das leituras dos clássicos, sobretudo os historiadores e autores latinos de tratados sobre a guerra e a arte militar.

Traducendo alcuni Moralia e alcuni libri di Detti memorabili Carlo Carena, in questo suo ultimo lavoro che viene pubblicato purtroppo postumo, ha messo a punto un volume che rappresenta la summa dei pensieri di Plutarco sul tema della politica. Sia dal punto di vista delle qualità morali necessarie agli uomini politici, sia da quello degli ordinamenti legislativi. Plutarco sprona gli intellettuali («i filosofi») ad occuparsi di politica, a consigliare re, principi e legislatori.

El derecho a la pereza es la obra más célebre de Lafargue, y es el texto más difundido de la literatura socialista a nivel mundial, después de Manifiesto del Partido Comunista, de Karl Marx y Friedrich Engels. Una obra controvertida y revolucionaria tanto para la derecha como para la izquierda. Es un clásico de la literatura socialista-marxista pero que trasciende toda ideología, que nos invita a pensar y cuestionarnos el modelo de sociedad, así como aquellos derechos que defendemos.

The Art of War dates to the fifth century B.C and is arguably the most famous military treatise ever written. Throughout its history, The Art of War has been highly influential. Figures as diverse as Japanese daimyō Takeda Shingen, Chinese communist Mao Tse-Tung, and Finnish field marshal Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim have cited the book as inspirational. During the Vietnam War the book served as an inspiration and guide for the Vietcong, which brought the book to the attention of the American military.

Mary Wollstonecraft is widely hailed as the mother of modern feminism. The book that made her famous, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, is a work of worldwide renown. Yet the range of her achievements as a thinker and writer reach far beyond this text. She was a multi-faceted author, and although the condition of women was a constant preoccupation throughout her life, she wrote on a wide variety of topics and in a range of literary forms, some of which she created herself.

The award-wining author of Second Acts and The Last Republicans draws on interviews and conversations with seven presidents to identify the essence of character, leadership and legacy that has defined each of them and the modern American presidency. Throughout his career as an author, journalist...

today's headlines. A coherent political philosophy or a vacuous cop-out? A pragmatic middle way between the extremes of left and right or a cynical strategy to secure power and neuter debate? Politicians have long invoked centrism as both a term of abuse (Margaret Thatcher) and a badge of pride (Tony Blair). Figures as important as John Maynard Keynes, Roy Jenkins, Bill Clinton and Emmanuel Macron have all had different ideas about how to make sure the centre holds.

We in the West appear to be at a year zero, with the seeming end of the relative peace and prosperity we took for granted. The pandemic, Putin's invasion of Ukraine, growing tension with China, a rolling back of globalisation, Brexit, the return of inflation and painful interest rates - all these have shattered the illusions of the world as we knew it. For years our politicians have said they were going for growth and would ensure that those with least would benefit disproportionately from the proceeds of that growth. They've failed.
