"Do the ancient Greek classics of politics and philosophy arouse interest among the Chinese? The answer, according to Shadi Bartsch, is a resounding yes. Works by Plato, Aristotle, Thucydides, and to a lesser extent Cicero and Vergil, generally unknown to China during the millennia-long dynastic system, have shown themselves "good to think with" in contemporary China, both at moments of crisis and revolution, and at moments of increasing confidence...

Journalist and scholar Stephanie Saldąa, who lived in Syria before the war, sets out on a journey across nine countries to meet refugees and learn what they salvaged from the ruins when they escaped.

El presente libro elabora una distinción conceptual entre proletariado y clase obrera a partir de una relectura de la obra de Karl Marx. En contraposición a las interpretaciones tradicionales que equiparan ambos términos, este trabajo rastrea un sentido alternativo de la expresión "proletariado" también acuñado por Marx: la clase que no es una clase. A diferencia de la concepción usual del proletariado como clase obrera, se sostiene que los...

The Federal Republic of Germany is a representative democracy, at least at the federal level. Legislation lies exclusively in the hands of the Bundestag and Bundesrat, this is what the fathers and mothers of the Basic Law decided in the Parliamentary Council in 1948/49 and laid down in the constitution. The Basic Law does not provide for elements of direct democracy, as they are often called for today for the federal government. Theodor Heuss in particular,...

Die Welt erlebt Krieg in der Ukraine. Sie erlebt, wie Staaten für ihre Selbsterhaltung – wer dieses „Selbst" ist und was dazu gehört, definieren sie selbst – in großem Stil über Leichen gehen.

Scruton shows how the different religious and philosophical roots of Western and Islamic societies have resulted in those societies' profoundly divergent beliefs about the nature of political order. For one thing, the idea of the social contract, crucial to the self-conception of Western nations, is entirely absent in Islamic societies. Similarly, Scruton explains why the notions of territorial jurisdiction, citizenship, and the independent legitimacy...

Anarchy means, in its ideal sense, the perfect, unfettered self-government of the individual, and, consequently, the absence of any kind of external government. This fundamental formula, which in its essence is common to all actual and real Theoretical Anarchists, contains all that is necessary as a guide to the distinguishing features of this remarkable movement. It demands the unconditional realisation of freedom, both subjectively and objectively,...

Kriegs-Chronik aus der Ukraine: Episoden des dementierten Russland-NATO-Kriegs
In der Ukraine sind die drei aktiven Kriegsparteien mit der zielstrebigen Eskalation des kriegerischen Tötens und Verwüstens befasst; alle nach der Maxime, den Feind darin immer wieder zu überbieten, bis der nicht mehr mitgehen will oder kann – und auf keinen Fall derjenige zu sein, der irgendwann einlenkt. Dabei machen Russland und die USA mit ihren wechselseitigen...

Les relations de pouvoir inégales entre les groupes linguistiques mènent presque inévitablement à l'érosion des langues minoritaires. Ce phénomène n'est cependant pas l'apanage des États unitaires, qui sont typiquement centrés sur un demos et une langue uniques. Il touche aussi les systèmes fédéraux, lesquels se caractérisent par un découpage du territoire en plus petites unités de sorte à refléter la diversité historique, notamment...

I am paying very serious attention to this matter. It just amounts to unscientific administrative policy or a chaotic policy followed by a few countries and purposely some countries are indulging in terrorism...
