Technocrats claim to know how to solve the social and economic problems of complex modern societies. But as Jeffrey Friedman argues in Power without Knowledge, there is a fundamental flaw with technocracy: it requires an ability to predict how the people whom technocrats attempt to control will act in response to technocratic policies. However, the mass public's ideas-the ideas that drive their actions-are far too varied and diverse to be reliably predicted. But that is not the only problem. Friedman reminds us that a large part of contemporary mass politics, even populist mass politics, is essentially technocratic too. Members of the general public often assume that they are competent to decide which policies or politicians will be able to solve social and economic problems. Yet these ordinary "citizen-technocrats" typically regard the solutions to social problems as self-evident, such that politics becomes a matter of vetting public officials for their good intentions ...

Luis Sepúlveda prometió un día a sus dos hijos escribir una historia sobre lo mal que gestionamos los humanos nuestro entorno, lesionando la naturaleza y lesionándonos a nosotros mismos. Así nació esta historia, que cuenta las aventuras de Zorbas, un gato «grande, negro y gordo», cuyo inquebrantable sentido del honor lo conduce un día a comprometerse a criar un polluelo de gaviota. Su madre, una hermosa gaviota, atrapada por una ola de petróleo vertido en el mar por un buque varado, justo antes de morir deja en prenda a Zorbas el huevo que acaba de poner. Zorbas, que es gato de palabra, cumplirá sus dos promesas: no sólo criará al polluelo, sino que le enseñará a volar. Los amigos de Zorbas, Secretario, Sabelotodo, Barlovento y Colonello, le ayudarán en una tarea que, como se verá, no estan fácil como parece, y menos para una bandade gatos más acostumbrados a hacer frente a la dura vida en un puerto como el de Hamburgo que a ejercer de padres de una cría de gaviota. ...

The Reformation was originally an attack on a corrupt Church, sparked by Martin Luther. Thomas Muntzer, originally Luther's protege, became increasingly convinced that the Reformation did not go far enough. In 1524, he became one of the leaders of the Peasants' War where the struggle against the Church exploded into a revolutionary attempt to realize the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Wu Ming, the five Italian authors who, under the name of Luther Blissett, wrote the best selling novel "Q" about the Radical Reformation, ask why Muntzer has inspired radicals for almost 500 years.

'I concluded that I was a substance whose whole essence or nature resides only in thinking, and which, in order to exist, has no need of place and is not dependent on any material thing.' Descartes's A Discourse on the Method of Correctly Conducting One's Reason and Seeking Truth in the Sciences marks a watershed in European thought; in it, the author provides an informal intellectual autobiography in the vernacular for a non-specialist readership, sweeps away all previous philosophical traditions, and sets out in brief his radical new philosophy, which begins with a proof of the existence of the self (the famous 'cogito ergo sum'), next deduces from it the existence and nature of God, and ends by offering a radical new account of the physical world and of human and animal nature. This new translation is accompanied by a substantial introductory essay which draws on Descartes's correspondence to examine his motivation and the impact of his great work ...

Sometimes you find love in the most unexpected of places... This is not one of those times. Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. The two families have been neighbors for centuries, and as a child the tomboyish Billie ran wild with Edward and Andrew. Either one would make a perfect husband... someday. Sometimes you fall in love with exactly the person you think you should... Or not. There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate, and that is George. He may be the eldest and heir to the earldom, but he's arrogant, annoying, and she's absolutely certain he detests her. Which is perfectly convenient, as she can't stand the sight of him, either. But sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humor... Because when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together, a whole new sort of sparks begins to fly. And when these lifelong adversaries finally kiss, they just might discover that the one person they can't abide is the one ...

Dies ist ein leicht verständliches, wundervolles Buch für alle diejenigen, die etwas darüber erfahren wollen, wo denn der Mensch hingeht, wenn er stirbt, und wo er sich so lange aufhält, bis er wieder geboren wird. Matthew ist als Jugendlicher dorthin gegangen, und er unterhält sich in diesem Buch mit seiner Mutter, die noch auf der Erde ist. Sie hat viele Fragen, und er beantwortet sie alle ausführlich - auch ganz gewöhnliche, wie z.B. ob es in dieser Welt "da oben" auch Häuser, Kleider, Sport, Theater oder Liebschaften gibt.

Klara and the Sun is a magnificent new novel from the Nobel laureate Kazuo Ishiguro--author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize-winning The Remains of the Day. Klara and the Sun, the first novel by Kazuo Ishiguro since he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, tells the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, who, from her place in the store, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful a customer will soon choose her. Klara and the Sun is a thrilling book that offers a look at our changing world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator, and one that explores the fundamental question: what does it mean to love? In its award citation in 2017, the Nobel committee described Ishiguro's books as novels of great emotional force and said he has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world. ...
