Violence and the Sacred is Rene Girard's landmark study of human evil. Here Girard explores violence as it is represented and occurs throughout history, literature, and myth. Girard's forceful and thought-provoking analyses of Biblical narrative, Greek tragedy, and the lynchings and pogroms propagated by contemporary states illustrate his central argument that violence belongs to everyone and is at the heart of the sacred.

In 2011, Emerick, an ordained minister in the United Methodist Church and a licensed clinical social worker, embarked on a self-directed study to educate himself about the nation's principal political disputes. He discovered that America's dominant political and economic theories...are... pitting the demands of the individual against the needs of the community. But in the Constitution's preamble... the concerns of individual liberty and the general welfare are given equal weight, and a more equitable national philosophy will...combine the two.

The Cow Revolution is a collection of stories that contains philosophical and political reflections.

Questo libro non è un trattato sull’obbedienza. Né un nuovo “discorso sulla servitù volontaria”, che piega gli uomini sotto qualsiasi legge. Ma piuttosto un diario di viaggio, arioso e curioso, che tocca tempi e luoghi diversi: voti monastici, doveri militari, vincoli di partito, fedeltà costituzionali. E giunge fino all’oggi, al nostro trepido vagare nell’occasionalismo delle prescrizioni mediche.

Alle Welt redet davon, die Natur zu schützen. Um dies zu können, müssten wir zumindest erfahren können, was Natur ist und sie uns bedeutet. Dieses Gespür ist uns abhandengekommen. Der renommierte Physiker Ulf Danielsson zeigt den blinden Fleck der modernen Naturwissenschaften: Wissenschaftler rechnen und rechnen, aber der Mensch, mit all seinen Sinnen, spielt keine Rolle mehr in den Naturwissenschaften. Doch dabei ist das Universum keinesfalls nur Mathematik. Wir leben in Welt und Weltall, aber nicht in den abstrakten Gleichungen. Wir sind Lebewesen und keine Maschinen.

When The Stone Reader—a landmark collection of 133 essays from the New York Times’ award-winning philosophy column—first published, in 2015, the world urgently needed insight and wisdom, and for many, the book served as a bulwark of reason against the rising tide of post-fact rhetoric. Now, as disinformation continues to run rampant and our rights are increasingly called into question, editors Peter Catapano and Simon Critchley contend that philosophy in the public sphere is more crucial than ever.

Some of the things I’ve written here are going to seem odd…and others will make complete sense.

These are the famous opening words of a treatise that has stirred vigorous debate ever since its first publication in 1762. Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to wield authority over others, Rousseau argues instead for a pact, or 'social contract', that should exist between all the citizens of a state and that should be the source of sovereign power.

La guerre, pour reprendre l'expression du général Le Borgne, serait « morte à Hiroshima » il y a plus d'un demi-siècle. Et pourtant elle n'a jamais cessé. Actes terroristes, conflits israélo-palestiniens et moyen-orientaux, implosion de la Yougoslavie, pays déchirés par les factions, sans même parler des autres guerres : économiques, psychologiques, informatiques, guerres des sexes ou des générations.

La Maternitat d’Elna descobreix un dels capítols més dramàtics, tendres i desconeguts de la nostra postguerra. Entre 1939 i 1944, la suïssa Elisabeth Eidenbenz va salvar la vida de 597 infants.

La humanitat està arribant a un punt de no retorn. La nostra forma de viure està portant el món i l’espècie al límit i només tenim dues opcions: o ens repensem i ens humanitzem o ens extingirem.

No serà possible sobreviure sense modificar de manera profunda la nostra forma de pensar, de relacionar-nos i de viure.
