An immediate sensation when it was first published in two volumes in 1945, Popper's monumental achievement has attained legendary status on both the Left and Right and is credited with inspiring anticommunist dissidents during the Cold War. Arguing that the spirit of free, critical inquiry that governs scientific investigation should also apply to politics, Popper traces the roots of an opposite, authoritarian tendency to a tradition represented by Plato, Marx, and Hegel. 

In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

Publicado por primera vez en 1781 y revisado en 1787, Crítica de la Razón Pura es considerada la obra maestra de Kant y una de las piezas centrales de la filosofía moderna. Kant busca responder a preguntas fundamentales sobre la naturaleza del conocimiento humano, la relación entre la experiencia y la realidad, y los límites de la razón. La Crítica de la Razón Pura marcó un punto de inflexión en la filosofía al proponer que ni el empirismo ni el racionalismo por sí solos podían explicar completamente el conocimiento humano.

Ed is the grandson of footballing legend Gordon Banks. He was a national icon, the only goalkeeper ever to win the soccer World Cup for England. But Ed’s heard a rumour: that in 1970, while defending the title, his granddad, his hero, was poisoned… by the CIA. All part of a Cold War plot to bolster a military dictatorship in Latin America, supposedly. Could this possibly be true? Banks did get ill in Mexico in 1970 with food poisoning. And England crashed out, marking the start of decades of hurt. Ed enlists the help of investigative journalist Gabriel Gatehouse.

Die Welt ist von nahezu pathologischer Irrationalität und Hysterie gezeichnet.

Bonelli mit Bewusstsein und Kognition und zeigt, wie wir wieder bessere Entscheidungen treffen können, im Beruf, in Beziehungen und im öffentlichen Leben. Raphael M.

Addiction is now seen as an ordinary feature of human nature, an idea that introduces new doubts about the meaning of our desires. Over the last forty years, a variety of developments in American science, politics, and culture have reimagined addiction in their own ways, but they share an...

Every revolution in history promised equality, brotherhood, and shared prosperity. Every one of them delivered tyranny, suffering, and betrayal. And yet the dream persists—because it was never wrong. Only the method was. In What Institutional Communism Got Wrong, Boris Kriger—a former Orthodox priest who ran a homeless shelter in his own house for nine years, lived in an Israeli kibbutz, and once found himself teaching communism to the general secretaries of Canada’s two communist parties—makes a case so simple it sounds radical: cooperation is the natural state of human beings.

There are questions that seem simple, but deep down they reveal who we are. What would I do if I were president? It’s not just a game of imagination or a political exercise. It’s a mirror. An invitation to look straight at our convictions, our social wounds, and the hopes we’ve kept tucked away for years. This book is born from that curiosity we all feel at some point —whether in a casual conversation, in an improvised debate, or in those moments when reality squeezes us and we think, “If it were in my hands, I would do it differently.” This is not about empty promises or campaign speeches.
