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.

Stepping back from the world has always been part of human life. We're social animals but sometimes we want to be alone. That impulse is as old as civilisation but has never been more urgent. Today, mindfulness and meditation are everywhere, and wellness tourism is booming. Whether it's a yoga break, an app or something more like boot camp, retreat is a feature of our lives now.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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?

This exhilarating collection of essays, interviews, and correspondence—spanning the years 1988 through 2018, and reaching back a decade more—is about the simple concept that ideas matter. They mutate, inform, create fuel for thought, and inspire actions. As Kelman says, the State relies on our suffocation, that we cannot hope to learn the truth. But whether we can or not is beside the point. We must grasp the nettle, we assume control and go forward.
