Biasimare gli errori e stigmatizzare l’ignoranza sono considerate pratiche virtuose. Necessarie. Ma le cose, forse, non stanno proprio così. Prendendo spunto da aneddoti, dalla scienza, dallo sport, da pensatori come Machiavelli, Montaigne e Sandel, ma anche da Mike Tyson, Bruce Lee e Roger Federer, Gianrico Carofiglio ci racconta la gioia dell’ignoranza consapevole e le fenomenali opportunità che nascono dal riconoscere i nostri errori. Imparando, quando è possibile, a trarne profitto. Una riflessione inattesa su due parole che non godono di buona fama.

Giorgia e Gianrico Carofiglio, figlia e padre, si sono seduti a un tavolo e hanno affrontato con occhi questioni che riguardano ciascuno di noi come il clima, il femminismo, il cibo. La politica. Non hanno eliminato tutte le loro divergenze, ma hanno elaborato una serie di ragionamenti – veri e propri saggi brevi, tessere di un mosaico sorprendente – in cui si combinano entrambi i punti di vista. Una scommessa audace e allegra sulle possibilità di un linguaggio comune, di un’idea condivisa del mondo e del futuro.

In an increasingly polarized age, culture wars are everywhere. They are often criticized as superficial or confected disagreements designed to distract us from more important issues. Is this true, or are they rather more fundamental than that? In this thoughtful and passionate intervention...

Debord returns to the themes of his previous analysis and demonstrates how they were relevant in a period where the “integrated spectacle” was dominant. Refusing to be reconciled to the system, Debord slices through the obfuscation and mystification offered by journalists and pundits to show how aspects of reality as diverse as terrorism and the environment, the Mafia and the media, were caught up in the logic of the spectacular society. His final work conveys the revolutionary impulse at the heart of Situationism and later movements such as Occupy, Antifa, and Black Lives Matter.

Russell Kirk has ingeniously combined into a living whole the private Burke and the public Burke. He gives us a fresh assessment of Burke, a statesman enjoying even greater influence today than in his own time. He lucidly unfolds Burke's philosophy, showing how it revealed itself in concrete historical situations in the 18th century and how Burke, through his philosophy, "speaks to our age".

A former member of the State Department's Policy Planning Council, Polk describes a country and a history misunderstood by many in the West. While Iranians chafe under the yolk of their current leaders, they also have bitter memories of generations of British, Russian, and American espionage, invasion, and dominance. There are important lessons to be learned from the past, and Polk teases them out of a long and rich history and shows that it is not just now, but for decades to come that an understanding of Iran will be essential to American safety and well-being.

Miembro de la Academia francesa y profesor del Collège de France, Marc Fumaroli se reveló en 1991 como un polemista brillante y provocador al publicar El Estado cultural, una indagación histórica de las raíces de la moderna política cultural francesa. La obra, que suscitó encendidos debates, narra el extraño destino de un ámbito, el de la cultura, que sirvió al gaullismo para compensar la agraviada grandeza de Francia y al socialismo para gratificar una ideología derrotada.

En este maravilloso ensayo, Lledó juega y conversa con los numerosos términos que la cultura griega nos ha legado, y se detiene en el de amistad, un concepto clave a la hora de explorar quiénes somos. Lo contrapone a otra noción esencial, la de identidad, hoy tan manida y viciada, que, en su origen, lejos de aludir a lo que nos diferencia, se refería a nuestra mirada humana sobre el mundo y sobre nosotros mismos, y es un componente fundamental de la democracia.

On May 13, 1940, Winston Churchill stood before the House of Commons to deliver his first speech as Prime Minister. Europe was in crisis: three days earlier, Germany had invaded France and the Low Countries. Facing only feeble resistance, Hitler's armies were rapidly sweeping westward. Churchill had little support within the British government when he rose to address it that day.

Socialismo: Utópico y Científico es uno de los textos fundamentales del pensamiento socialista y marxista.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado is the leader of Venezuela’s democratic movement and a key advocate for freedom in Latin America. Having won the opposition primaries in 2023 with an overwhelming 92 percent of the vote, she was arbitrarily disqualified by the Nicolás Maduro regime from participating in the 2024 presidential elections. Machado proceeded to unite the country around the call for dignity and freedom, leading the national campaign for Edmundo González that finally obtained 67 percent of the vote.

Es una obra política escrita por Immanuel Kant en 1795. Como se intuye por el título (también traducible por «Para la paz perpetua»), el objetivo de este tratado es encontrar una estructura mundial y una perspectiva de gobierno para cada uno de los estados en particular que favorezca la paz.

Michael A. Singer, author of The Untethered Soul, tells the extraordinary story of what happened when, after a deep spiritual awakening, he decided to let go of his personal preferences and simply let life call the shots. As Singer takes you on this great experiment and journey into life's perfection, the events that transpire will both challenge your deepest assumptions about life and inspire you to look at your own life in a radically different way.

Blending history and cutting-edge economic analysis, and writing in lively and jargon-free prose, Saez and Zucman dissect the deliberate choices (and sins of indecision) that have brought us to today: the gradual exemption of capital owners; the surge of a new tax avoidance industry; and the spiral of tax competition among nations. With clarity and concision, they explain how America turned away from the most progressive tax system in history to embrace policies that only serve to compound the wealth of a few.
