Every day many people will try to change your mind, but they won't reason with you. Instead you'll be nudged, anchored, incentivised and manipulated in barely noticeable ways. It's a profound shift in the way we interact with one another. Philosopher James Garvey explores the hidden story of persuasion and the men and women in the business of changing our minds.

Karl Marx / Friedrich Engels - "Das kommunistische Manifest". Die industrielle Revolution verursachte eine massive Landflucht. Unzählige Menschen aus bäuerlichen Verhältnissen versuchten ihr Glück als Arbeiter in den Städten, gehen dort jedoch in äußerst prekären Verhältnissen unter. Das Massenelend der Arbeiterklasse führte zum Aufkommen sozialistischer, bzw. kommunistischer Ideen in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts und die beiden deutschen Philosophen Karl Marx und Friedrich Engels verfassten ihr bis heute vielbeachtetes Werk "Das kommunistische Manifest".

La tesi di Murgia è che l'odio possa essere una virtù, dipende da come lo pratichiamo. Per esempio, con Odio gli indifferenti Antonio Gramsci ha mostrato che, se riconosciuto e disciplinato, questo sentimento non è per forza distruttivo. Passando dalle maledizioni sarde ai salmi biblici, da Grazia Deledda alle lettere di san Paolo, Murgia smonta i nostri pregiudizi e rivendica il diritto di odiare – specialmente i prevaricatori, i prepotenti, tutti coloro che non credono nella responsabilità collettiva del bene.

Can we human beings agree on a set of values which will allow us to confront the numerous threats that we and our planet face? Or will we continue our disagreements, rivalries, and antipathies, even as we collectively approach what, in the not impossible extreme, might be extinction? To answer these questions, A. C. Grayling considers the three most pressing challenges facing the world: climate change, technology, and justice.

Hatred is often considered the opposite of love, but in many ways it is much more complicated. It also may be considered one of the dominant emotions of our time, as individuals, groups, and even nations express or enact hatred to varying degrees. What is hatred? Where does it come from, and what does it reveal about the hater? And is hatred always a bad thing? Brogaard makes a deep dive into the moral psychology of one of our most complex and vivid emotions.

Story1
Judith Butler shows how COVID-19 and all its consequences-political, social, ecological, economic-have challenged us to reconsider the sense of the world that such disasters bring about. Drawing on the work of Max Scheler, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and critical feminist phenomenology, Butler illuminates the conditions in which we seek to make sense of our disorientation, precarity, and social bonds. What World Is This? offers a new account of interdependency in which touching and breathing challenge the boundaries of the body and selfhood.

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.

Il n'est pas anodin que les grandes figures sociologiques du XXe siècle, Durkheim, Mauss, Lévi-Strauss ou Bourdieu, aient été formées initialement à la philosophie. D'abord timidement, puis farouchement, la sociologie, ou encore l'anthropologie et l'ethnographie, prennent au cours du siècle leur indépendance face à la paternité philosophique pour créer la nouvelle dénomination des sciences sociales.

Imagine this: You’ve just hired someone for a job, but instead of showing initiative, they spend more time scrolling on their phone, wondering why they’re not the boss yet. Or perhaps you’ve seen a viral video of someone celebrated for doing… absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, your own hard work feels undervalued in a culture that rewards mediocrity. Sound familiar? In today’s world, intelligence, skill, and grit seem to take a back seat to viral fame and unearned entitlement. You’re left wondering: When did ambition become a dirty word?

Klickzahlen, Fitnesstracker, Bestsellerlisten, Politikerrankings: Unsere Gesellschaft ist besessen von Scores. Der Philosoph C. Thi Nguyen deckt auf, wie Scores zu einem der prägendsten Werkzeuge unserer Zeit geworden sind – und warum wir dringend ihre Wirkungsweise verstehen müssen. Nguyen demonstriert an lebensnahen Beispielen, dass diese scheinbar harmlosen Zahlen uns tatsächlich dazu verleiten, fremde Werte unhinterfragt zu übernehmen. Wenn aber in unserer Beziehung zu unserer Gesundheit, unseren Jobs oder Lieblingsbeschäftigungen nur noch Scores zählen, verarmt unser Leben.
