Every 15 seconds, a child dies from waterborne disease. Three times an hour, another species becomes extinct. Each day, we consume 85 million barrels of oil and pump 23 million tons of carbon dioxide into an already warming atmosphere. But against this bleak backdrop, beacons of hope shine from thousands of large and small initiatives. Thriving Beyond Sustainability draws a collective map of individuals, organizations, and communities that are committed to building an alternative future.

Interrogating the historical currents that have brought us here, Harkness envisages a messier, riskier and less comfortable world than the one into which we’re sliding. Challenging listeners to scrutinise what’s missing from their personalised menus, Technology is Not the Problem encourages us to look afresh at the familiar: not just the technology we use every day, how we relate to the world and those around us.

ఎండ్లూరి మానస కథలు చదువుతూ ఉంటే కుల వివక్ష సమకాలీన అవతారం అవగతమవుతుంది. మనుషుల ప్రవర్తన మీద హిందూ సంస్కృతి భావజాలాల పట్టు ఎంత బలంగా ఉందో కనిపిస్తుంది. టెక్నాలజీని తలదన్నుతున్న కులాలజీ అనుభవంలోకొస్తుంది. మన ఆర్థిక హోదాలతో నిమిత్తం లేని సాంఘీక హోదా మనల్ని ఉక్కిరి బిక్కిరి చేస్తుంది. దళిత క్రైస్తవ స్త్రీవాదం నుంచి జనరల్ స్త్రీవాదం వరకు పరచుకున్న బతుకు చిత్రాలు సెన్సిబుల్ చదువరుల్ని ఒకరకమయిన మానసిక పోటుకు గురిచేస్తాయి. చట్రాన్ని చ్ఛేదించుకునే శిల్పం స్వాగతిస్తుంది. మూసలో ఇమడని కథనం, మామూలుగా సాగిపోయే ప్రయోగాత్మక కథానిర్మాణం మానస కథల్ని అలాదు స్థానంలో నిలుపుతాయి.

భారతదేశంలో కుల/మత ఆధారిత 'రిజర్వేషన్ల'పై 23 మార్గదర్శక కథనాలు ఉన్నాయి. దళితులు/గిరిజనులు/మైనారిటీలు తమ హక్కులను పరిరక్షించడం మరియు రక్షించుకోవడం కోసం పోరాటంలో రిజర్వేషన్ల విధానానికి అనుకూలంగా భారతదేశంలో అభ్యుదయవాద అభిప్రాయాన్ని సున్నితంగా విశ్లేషించి, వాదనాత్మక సాధనాలను అందించిన మొదటి మరియు అగ్రగామి బాలగోపాల్. ఎక్కువగా గుర్తించబడనప్పటికీ, ఇది ఈ అంశంపై ఉత్తమ సాంఘిక శాస్త్ర రచనకు కూడా ప్రేరణనిచ్చింది.

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469 - 1527) gilt als eine der bedeutendsten Staatsphilosophen der Neuzeit. Sein Standardwerk "Der Fürst" ist noch immer Pflichtlektüre für Manager und BWL-Studenten. Sein zweites Hauptwerk, die "Discorsi", befasst sich mit dem idealen Staat - und wie er zu bewahren sei. Er bedient sich dabei der römischen Geschichte und zeigt viele Beispiele, wie das zu Machiavellis Zeit darniederliegende Italien zu neuem Ruhm gelangen könne. "Mensch und Staat" ist die ideale Ergänzung zum "Fürsten" - genau so klar in der Argumentation, genau so zeitlos in den Schlussfolgerungen.

Una fascinante reflexión sobre el caos y la locura a partir de teorías científicas, expresiones literarias y experiencias personales. ¿Lo real está más allá de nuestro alcance? ¿La verdad y la locura son síntomas de la misma enfermedad? Labatut utiliza un cuadro del Bosco, el terror atávico de Lovecraft, la lógica radical de David Hilbert y la delirante iluminación que tuvo Philip K. Dick para hablar de la extraña textura que está adquiriendo la experiencia humana.

We live in a world that feels increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA). For young people, the sense of unease this world creates comes with serious difficulties. Many are asking: How can you lead, grow, and thrive in today's world? In What Is Water?, Kayvan Kian shifts the focus away from this overwhelm and toward ways of thinking that will help you grow stronger through it all.

Das Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei, auch Das Kommunistische Manifest genannt, wurde von Karl Marx und Friedrich Engels um die Jahreswende 1847/48 im Auftrag des Bundes der Kommunisten verfasst. Es ist am 21. Februar 1848 in London erschienen, kurz vor der Februarrevolution in Frankreich und vor der Märzrevolution im Deutschen Bund und in den größten Staaten dieses Bundes Österreich und Preußen. Das Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei wurde in mehr als 100 Sprachen übersetzt. Im Juni 2013 wurde es in das UNESCO-Dokumentenerbe aufgenommen.

Digital Consciousness is a philosophical dialogue into the evolution of consciousness within the digital terrain and the legacy footprint on the human family. Exploring the emotional 'digital' frequency of self is a concept that Tenille Bentley has given a great deal of thought to, and some of the answers to these questions and more may surprise you. While not everyone wants to ‘change the world’ we do all have the power at our fingertips now to radically affect change for someone, somewhere, some place. Recognising this ability and harnessing how we use the internet is the basis for this book.

Reputation touches almost everything, guiding our behavior and choices in countless ways. But it is also shrouded in mystery. Why is it so powerful when the criteria by which people and things are defined as good or bad often appear to be arbitrary? Why do we care so much about how others see us that we may even do irrational and harmful things to try to influence their opinion? In this engaging book, Gloria Origgi draws on philosophy, social psychology, sociology, economics, and more to offer an illuminating account of an important yet oddly neglected subject.

Unsere Kinder, die heute eingeschult werden, gehen im Jahr 2070 in Rente. Doch wir überfrachten sie mit Wissensstoff, den sie für ihr Leben kaum brauchen...

Cosa significa essere donna? Non alzare la voce, non ribellarsi. Obbedire al padre, al marito, alla società. Significa calma e sottomissione. Dover essere una brava bambina, poi una brava moglie e una brava madre. Eppure per qualcuna tutto questo non basta. Attraverso otto storie che spaziano dal mito alla contemporaneità, gli autori raccontano l'altra faccia della luna: e cioè come fin dagli albori dell'umanità, in saghe, leggende ed epopee letterarie, i modelli di donne forti sono sempre stati ridotti al silenzio.

Hvad vil det sige at være menneske? Svend Brinkmann giver svar på dette spørgsmål ved at fortælle historien om den unge, introverte Andreas, der tager på dannelsesrejse gennem Europa. På sin rejse bliver drengen klogere på, hvad mennesket er for et væsen - både på godt og ondt. Han møder mennesker undervejs, som gør ham klogere på livet, men han bliver også stimuleret af at stå ansigt til ansigt med berømte værker fra Europas kunst- og kulturhistorie, der fortæller noget om, hvem vi er som mennesker.

Are you bored of the endless scroll of your social media feed? Do you swipe left before considering the human being whose face you just summarily rejected? Do you skim articles on your screen in search of intellectual stimulation that never arrives? If so, this book is the philosophical lifeline you have been waiting for. Offering a timely meditation on the profound effects of constant immersion in technology, also known as the Interface, Wish I Were Here draws on philosophical analysis of boredom and happiness to examine the pressing issues such as screen addiction....

The world is ruled by a handful of super rich. These, in their short-sighted management of the planet, are leading humanity to its own self-destruction. The problem is that the same destructive dynamics, typical of the egoic mind that dominate the universal masters, also dwell in us common mortals, so on a smaller scale we are all co-responsible for the current situation.

Philosopher Nick Riggle explores the beauty of being alive by investigating the things we say to inspire ourselves and each other: seize the day, treat yourself, you only live once. These clichés are at best vague, at worst stupid. They imply that you should do something wild with your life because your life is precious, a little like saying you should go swimming with your grandfather’s watch because it is irreplaceable.

The biggest “tragedy of the commons” is the misconception that commons are failures - relics from another era rendered unnecessary by the market and state. Think Like a Commoner dispels such prejudices by explaining the rich history and promising future of the commons - an ageless paradigm of cooperation and fairness that is re-making our world.

Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) was a Canadian professor, philosopher, and best-selling author. He made major contributions to the study of media theory. McLuhan is well-known for his expression "the medium is the message", from his 1964 book, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man. He also popularized the term "global village", and he predicted the World Wide Web almost 30 years before it was invented. This recording is from one of his lectures.
