With subjects as varied as Robert Nisbet, Whig history, the European Union election of 2014, and Donald Trump, the essays are tied together by their strenuous confrontation with historians and journalists whose claims about the past no longer receive critical scrutiny.

According to Gottfried, successful writers on historical topics...

Known best to those in his immediate community, the writers of Eugene J. Burkart are a radical collection of observations and insights by one of the most significant writers to emerge from the circle of renowned philosopher and scholar Ivan Illich. Through short parables printed in newspapers or spoken at gatherings, Burkart's writings assemble two visions of modern life. One is America's extreme faith in nationalism, money, war, vanity, and degradation. The other is of those who bear witness, and wittingly or unwittingly resist in small acts, everywhere. Gently, the writings of Eugene...

Published in 1859, On Liberty applies Mill's ethical system of utilitarianism to society and the state. Mill attempts to establish standards for the relationship between authority and liberty. He emphasizes the importance of individuality which he conceived as a prerequisite to the higher pleasures-the summum bonum of Utilitarianism.

Among the standards established in this work are Mill's three basic liberties of individuals, his...

Les anges sont au centre de la dimension contemplative. Qui sont-ils ? L'episode biblique de Tobias et de l'archange Raphael nous amene a questionner le role de l'anonymat, du silence et de l'invisibilite des anges. Messagers silencieux et anonymes ils ne nous revelent leur presence qu'au detour d'un reve ou de faits qu'ils ont anticipes et qu'ils nous presentent avant qu'ils ne se produisent. Depuis qu'elle ne les peint plus, l'humanite a oublie l'existence des anges or leur participation legere et occasionnelle au monde donnait a l'humanite l'envie de poursuivre un dialogue avec autre que...

We cannot resolve all these disagreements definitively. Infamy opens questions about how...

Biologia de la democracia debe considerarse uno de los primeros documentos teoricos escritos por un intelectual cubano sobre el pensamiento de derecha. Lo importante de Lamar Schmeyer consiste en poner de relieve que el pensamiento de derecha (minorista) no constituye una formula y receta para partidos politicos con tendencias ideologicas. Al contrario, la democracia se subordina a principios y leyes de la vida y la naturaleza. Considerado por las generaciones de la epoca y las posteriores hasta nuestros dias como un texto reaccionario, de tendencia fascista y antidemocratico, Biologia de la...
