Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundada por Zenón, el estoicismo atrajo a sus filas a hombres de la estatura de Séneca, el abogado, Epicteto, el anterior esclavo, y Marco Aurelio, el emperador, quienes resaltan como estrellas de la primera nova. Sus escritos, sean las Cartas de Séneca, los Discursos de Epicteto, o las Meditaciones de Marco Aurelio, inspiran, elevan y ennoblecen. El título de esta segunda edición tiene dos significantes: ‘estoicismo’ y ‘hoy’, lo cual sugiere que el estoicismo ateniense antiguo – esa escuela de filosofía helenística práctica – aún tiene algo que decirnos hoy. Los estoicos lucharon contra el sufrimiento; querían conformar su voluntad al mundo, deseaban cultivar la virtud para florecer. Creían firmemente que el comportamiento significaba más que las palabras. Consideraban la filosofía menos como una disciplina arcana, académica, teórica o difícil y más como una forma de vida para aquellos que estaban enamorados de la Sabiduría (Sophia) y el Bien (Agathon). Este libro refleja y representa una amplia variedad de temas, desde la ética estoica y las emociones hasta la paternidad, los sentimientos y Viktor Frankl; desde los principios estoicos y el ‘mindfulness’ hasta la filosofía práctica, la crianza, la psicoterapia y las cárceles; desde Star Trek y Sócrates hasta los abogados estoicos, la literatura y la vida en general. Como tal, hay algo para todos en esta compilación ecléctica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first English translation makes available to English-speaking readers a powerful modern Mexican novel, first published in 1961. Fernando Benítez, well-known Mexican author, journalist, and winner of Mexico's 1968 best-book award, exploits a true but little-known incident by building it into a tightly structured, tense, and tragic novel of social protest. The incident on which the novel is based is a bloody rebellion against the village feudal master touched off by joking comment on the "poisoning" of the water as one of Don Ulises's men is pushed into the plaza fountain. Feeding on itself, the rumor spreads that the "boss" has poisoned the local spring, and rebellion follows, with its violent and unforeseen consequences. The result is a frightening look at one of Mexico's major social problems and glaring ironies--that over fifty years after a revolution fought by the peasant and for the peasant, most rural groups are still living below the national economic standard.

Book excerpt: This is a major, collaborative study of organised military activity and its broad impact on Ireland over the last thousand years or so, from the middle of the first millennium AD to modern times. It integrates the best recent scholarship in military history into its social and political context to provide a comprehensive treatment of the Irish military experience. The eighteen chronologically-organised chapters are written by leading scholars each of whom is an authority on the period in question.

The text is illustrated throughout by over 120 pictures and maps.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Michael J. Buckley investigates the rise of modern atheism, arguing convincingly that its roots reach back to the seventeenth century, when Catholic theologians began to call upon philosophy and science-rather than any intrinsically religious experience-to defend the existence of god. Buckley discusses in detail thinkers such as Lessius, Mersenne, Descartes, and Newton, who paved the way for the explicit atheism of Diderot and D'Holbach in the eighteenth century. [A] capaciously learned and brilliantly written book...This is one of the most interesting and closely argued works on theology that i have read in the last decade.-Lawrence S. Cunningham, Theology Today

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the distinct historical-political imagination of the self in the twentieth century and advances two arguments. First, it suggests that we should read the history of modern political philosophy afresh in light of a theme that emerges in the late eighteenth century: the rift between self and social institutions. Second, it argues that this rift was reformulated in the twentieth century in a manner that contrasts with the optimism of nineteenth-century thinkers regarding its resolution. It proposes a new political imagination of the twentieth century found in the works of Weber, Freud, and Foucault, and characterizes it as one of "entrapment." Eyal Chowers shows how thinkers working within diverse theoretical frameworks and fields nevertheless converge in depicting a self that has lost its capacity to control or transform social institutions. He argues that Weber, Freud, and Foucault helped shape the distinctive thought and culture of the past century by portraying a dehumanized and distorted self marked by sameness. This new political imagination proposes coping with modernity through the recovery, integration, and assertion of the self, rather than by mastering and refashioning collective institutions.

Book excerpt: In God's Debris, best-selling author and creator of Dilbert Scott Adams fashioned a thought-provoking exploration of life's great mysteries (everything from quantum physics and God to psychic phenomena and dating) that quickly captured the attention and imaginations of readers everywhere. The intriguing story of a deliveryman who meets the world's smartest person and learns the secret of reality is threaded with a variety of hypnosis techniques that Adams, a certified hypnotist, used to induce a feeling of euphoric enlightenment in readers to mirror the main character's feelings as he discovers the true nature of the universe.Launched to coincide with the hardcover publication of its sequel, The Religion War (see opposite page), this first paperback edition of God's Debris will soon make the leap to a broader audience. As Adams designed it, the book will "make your brain spin around inside your skull" and drive readers toward The Religion War as they seek to confirm or deny the dizzying impressions and chaotic memories of reading God's Debris.The book provides one of the most compelling visions of reality ever experienced on the printed page. Along the way, readers will enjoy the Thought Experiment: Trying to discover what's wrong with the sage's explanation of reality. This is a book, as Adams says, to be shared and savored with smart friends.

Book excerpt: A través de las cincuenta y tres piezas que componen el Manual, Epicteto –crecido como esclavo en la turbulenta Roma de Nerón– nos ofrece los principios de la filosofía estoica, corriente de la que, junto al emperador Marco Aurelio y el filósofo Séneca, es su máximo representante. Por medio de unas reflexiones afiladas y certeras y un lenguaje claro y sin concesiones, Epicteto nos propone la ética estoica como un punto de partida en la búsqueda de la tranquilidad de ánimo y de la felicidad. La unión entre la reflexión moral y su vertiente práctica que se produce en el Manual y en las dos piezas de sus diatribas incluidas en este volumen (Cómo actuar ante los tiranos y Contra los conflictivos y salvajes) contribuye a que el estoicismo sea percibido como una corriente filosófica capaz de influir en las acciones del día a día.

Book excerpt: A brilliant weave of personal involvement, vivid biography and political insight, Koba the Dread is the successor to Martin Amis’s award-winning memoir, Experience. Koba the Dread captures the appeal of one of the most powerful belief systems of the 20th century — one that spread through the world, both captivating it and staining it red. It addresses itself to the central lacuna of 20th-century thought: the indulgence of Communism by the intellectuals of the West. In between the personal beginnings and the personal ending, Amis gives us perhaps the best one-hundred pages ever written about Stalin: Koba the Dread, Iosif the Terrible. The author’s father, Kingsley Amis, though later reactionary in tendency, was a “Comintern dogsbody” (as he would come to put it) from 1941 to 1956. His second-closest, and then his closest friend (after the death of the poet Philip Larkin), was Robert Conquest, our leading Sovietologist whose book of 1968, The Great Terror, was second only to Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago in undermining the USSR. The present memoir explores these connections. Stalin said that the death of one person was tragic, the death of a million a mere “statistic.” Koba the Dread, during whose course the author absorbs a particular, a familial death, is a rebuttal of Stalin’s aphorism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the results of the most recent scholarly investigation into Irish communities on the Continent in the early modern period. Essays deal not only with the activities of military, political and ecclesiastical migrants in Spain and France but also with Irish merchants in the Low Countries, Irish industrial entrepreneurs in Sweden and Irish diplomats in Saxony. Of particular significance are the synthetic essays that set the results of archival research into rigorous interpretative frameworks based on the latest advances in European and Irish historiography. This ground-breaking collection confirms the centrality of migrants and migrant communities in the evolution of early modern Europe and sets a demanding but exciting agenda for future collaborative work in the field.
