Justice today often disguises punishment as fairness, yet leaves both victims and offenders trapped in cycles of pain. This book argues for a radical rethinking: true justice is not about retribution, but about understanding why crimes happen and preventing them from happening again. Through philosophical reflection, psychological insight, and critical analysis of modern courts and prisons, Boris Kriger exposes the failures of the current system and sketch the contours of a new one—justice that heals instead of harms, supports instead of condemns, and restores trust by restoring people.

This book undertakes a multidisciplinary inquiry into the nature, origins, and operations of evil as a metaphysical, structural, and psychological phenomenon. Departing from traditional moral frameworks that reduce evil to individual acts of cruelty or moral failure, the text situates evil as an ontological force—at times preceding being, at other times emerging from systems, language, desire, and the very architecture of order.

This is a book about happiness. But not the kind that flickers briefly when something goes right, nor the kind sold through slogans, lifestyles, or steps to success. It is about something older, quieter, and more demanding: the pursuit of a life that feels right—not perfect, not easy, but worth living from the inside. Happiness, as it is meant here, is not a mood. It is not made of pleasure alone. It is the sense, however fragile, that one’s life has direction, meaning, and connection. That the self is not drifting. That even in the midst of difficulty, something essential holds.

This book introduces the Anthropic-Independent Reality Index, a conceptual framework designed to assess the degree to which ideas are shaped — or distorted — by evolved cognitive structures. Drawing on insights from evolutionary epistemology, cognitive neuroscience, and the philosophy of science, the index offers a non-utilitarian scale for measuring the ontological independence of a concept from the adaptive biases of the human mind.

What if the stars were no longer far away?

Long praised as the pinnacle of political progress, democracy is often wrapped in symbols of freedom, choice, and justice. Yet beneath its familiar rituals lies a system vulnerable to manipulation, co-opted by hidden powers, and sustained by illusions more than truths. This book challenges the comforting narratives that shield modern democracies from scrutiny. It explores how institutions built to serve the people can be quietly steered by elites, how media and technology mask control with noise, and how conformity, not violence, becomes the most effective tool of domination.

A pacifist in a time of drafts, an exile in a time of war, a young man once fled with nothing but a tea tin of memories. From those scraps was born the Plushling Bear—a soft, absurd creature wandering through grotesque landscapes where bottles are empty, folk devour themselves, and the gentle are always hunted. This is no ordinary fable. It is an adolescent tale stitched from childhood images: scraps of paper, torn toys, grandmother’s voice, lemon-juice tears.
