GreeceDescription:
„Dar ceea ce se cuvine să susţin cu toată dârzenia este că, de vreme ce sufletul, nu-ncape îndoială, e nemuritor, soarta şi sălaşurile lui vor fi cam aşa cum am spus. Crezând asta, cred că merită să iţi asumi oarecare risc. Căci e un risc frumos şi tot ce ţine de el trebuie să ni-l repetăm ca pe o incantaţie. Iată de ce zăbovesc de atâta vreme asupra mitului. În orice caz, ţinând seama de acestea, omul care, de-a lungul vieţii, şi-a luat rămas bun de la plăcerile şi de la podoabele trupului, pe care le socotea străine de el şi dăunătoare, omul care, di... continue

Política para Amador by Fernando Savater ES
SpainDescription:
Se dice que los jóvenes pasan actualmente de la política. Pero ¿qué sabe un joven hoy de política? Aparte de los escándalos aireados por la prensa, las zancadillas que los partidos se ponen unos a otros y las exaltadas prédicas utópicas de los demagogos, saben muy pocas cosas más.
En este libro se pretenden plantear de forma elemental pero rigurosa las cuestiones básicas que interesan al pensamiento político, tanto a nivel teórico como práctico: qué tipo de relación vincula y enfrenta al... continue

Politiek zonder partijen by Alicja Gescinska NL
PolandDescription:
Zijn politieke partijen de oplossing, of eerder een oorzaak van het democratisch deficit en de vele problemen van het politieke theater? De Franse filosofe Simone Weil pleitte in een visionair, postuum gepubliceerd essay voor een radicale afschaffing van alle politieke partijen. Het is een messcherpe analyse, geschreven na het Europese democratische debacle aan de vooravond van de Tweede Wereldoorlog, waarin ze het vaak gewetenloze cynisme van het partijensysteem aanklaagt. Weil gaat op zoek naar alternatieven en een andere manier van politiek voeren.00Filosofe Alicja Gescinska pleitte in vers... continue

În ziua arestării sale, K. deschide uşa camerei lui pentru a afla ce se întâmplă cu micul dejun şi declanşează astfel un val de întâmplări care se sprijină, de-a lungul întregului roman, pe metafora uşii. Acuzat de o greşeală pe care nu o cunoaşte, de nişte judecători cu care nu se întâlneşte niciodată, conform unor legi despre care nimeni nu ştie nimic, el va deschide nenumărate uşi în încercarea de a lămuri această situaţie. "Procesul", piesă de referinţă în opera acestui geniu al absurdului care a fost Kafka, renunţ... continue

Reden An Den Kleinen Mann by Wilhelm Reich DE
UkraineDescription:
Listen, Little Man! (Reden An Den Kleinen Mann) is a great physician's quiet talk to each one of us, the average human being, the Little Man. Written in 1946 in answer to the gossip and defamation that plagued his remarkable career, it tells how Reich watched, at first naively, then with amazement, and finally with horror, at what the Little Man does to himself; how he suffers and rebels; how he esteems his enemies and murders his friends; how, wherever he gains power as a "representative of the people," he misuses this power and makes it crueler than the power it has supplanted... continue
