Vulgar Marxism


Offers a transformative reading of the Marxist tradition by uncovering its connections to the institutions and practices of worker education.   For the past hundred years, “vulgar Marxism” has been the go-to insult among socialist and communist intellectuals, a shorthand for the ways Marxist theory could go wrong. But why would thinkers advocating for working-class emancipation use “vulgarity” as an epithet?   In Vulgar Marxism, Edward Baring seeks an answer by delving into debates over Marxism in the first decades of the twentieth century. He shows that this common phrase wasn’t aimed primarily at popular understandings of Marx. Rather, it was used to attack intellectuals for failing to teach Marx’s theory to the working masses correctly. His history of “vulgar Marxism” homes in on the project of mass worker education at a time when the project was both widely pursued and fiercely contested.   Worker education offered a mechanism through which Marxist theory was meant to promote large-scale social and political change, and it drew on a massive infrastructure of schools, publishing houses, and educational bureaus that stretched across Europe and reached millions. By centering this project, Baring radically recasts the history of Marxism from the Second International to World War II. He challenges classic oppositions between “economistic” and “cultural” versions of Marxism; rereads many of the most significant Marxist theorists of the time, including Karl Kautsky, Rosa Luxemburg, Georg Lukács, and Antonio Gramsci; and offers new resources for understanding how Marxist ideas transformed as they traveled around Europe and then spread throughout the world.

Řecké mýty I. - O bozích a lidech


Řecké mýty spoluvytvářely západní kulturu a dodnes ovlivňují způsob, jak myslíme. Běžně říkáme, že někdo má oidipovský komplex, narcistickou poruchu nebo otevřel Pandóřinu skříňku. Olympští bozi a řečtí hrdinové jsou stále okolo nás. Majestátní sochy Poseidonů stojí na kašnách, hrůzné tváře Medúz chrání důležité stavby, v zahradách nahé Afrodíty vystupují z lázně a svalnatí Herkulové zabíjejí nestvůry kyjem. V literárních dílech a divadelních hrách inspirovaných řeckými mýty nacházíme vše, co milujeme - následováníhodné vzory i odstrašující příklady, úvahy o smyslu života, záhady, dobrodružství, intriky, erotiku i humor. V knize rozdělené do dvou svazků, jež zahrnou všechny řecké mýtické příběhy, které se nám dochovaly, vyprávějí o svých osudech nesmrtelní i smrtelní protagonisté. Jakkoli je toto pojetí známých mýtů nové, vychází důsledně z antických pramenů a jeho cílem je představit čtenářům v úplnosti úžasný svět, v němž lidé žili společně s řeckými bohy. První díl zahrnuje mýty o vzniku světa, bozích a lidech. Druhý připravovaný díl obsáhne řecké eposy, počínaje tím o Perseovi a konče trójskou válkou.

The Lost Mary


“A great leap forward in understanding and contextualizing Mary’s life, after two millennia of her being dismissed and rewritten by patriarchal power structures.” James Cameron A world-renowned historian of early Christianity and ancient Judaism lifts the veil on the life of Mary – revealing her revolutionary role as the matriarch of the Jesus movement. Mary, mother of Jesus, is the best known – and least known – woman in history. Revered and worshipped by millions, she remains a figment of the imagination, the ethereal subject of Raphaels and Botticellis, bathed in heavenly light, too virginal and too pure to move among us. But what about the real Mary? In The Lost Mary, James D. Tabor corrects the record, laying out the results of his intensive textual and archaeological sleuthing over the past three decades, including new evidence regarding Mary’s genealogy (which may be hiding in plain sight in the New Testament!). Tabor’s quest for the historical Mary offers a transformative perspective on Jesus and his early followers, and recovers the nature and essence of earliest Christianity. “Tabor restores her voice, her faith, her motherhood, and, most of all, her humanity, in this groundbreaking portrait that challenges everything we thought we knew about the origins of Christianity.” – Reza Aslan “In recovering her story, we discover not only the hidden roots of Christianity but also a model of resilience that speaks across time. Mary, Tabor shows, reminds us that behind every movement are women whose voices have been silenced, whose influence has been hidden in plain sight.” – Candida Moss, National Geographic "The Lost Mary effects an imaginative repatriation of this ancient and elusive figure, vividly conjuring both her character and the times that she lived in. Tabor’s Mary is ‘lost’ no more.” – Paula Fredriksen, author of When Christians Were Jews: The First Generation

Shadow Empires


An original study of empire creation and its consequences, from ancient through early modern timesThe world’s first great empires established by the ancient Persians, Chinese, and Romans are well known, but not the empires that emerged on their margins in response to them over the course of 2,500 years. These counterempires or shadow empires, which changed the course of history, include the imperial nomad confederacies that arose in Mongolia and extorted resources from China rather than attempting to conquer it, as well as maritime empires such as ancient Athens that controlled trade without seeking territorial hegemony. In Shadow Empires, Thomas Barfield identifies six kinds of counterempire and explores their rise, politics, economics, and longevity. What all these counterempires had in common was their interactions with existing empires that created the conditions for their development. When highly successful, these counterempires left the shadows to become the world’s largest empires—for example, those of the medieval Muslim Arabs and of the Mongol heirs of Chinggis Khan. Three former shadow empires—Manchu Qing China, Tsarist Russia, and British India—made this transformation in the late eighteenth century and came to rule most of Eurasia. However, the DNA of their origins endured in their unique ruling strategies. Indeed, world powers still use these strategies today, long after their roots in shadow empires have been forgotten. Looking afresh at the histories of important types of empires that are often ignored, Shadow Empires provides an original account of empire formation from the ancient world to the early modern period.

Téma vďačnosti a oceňovania je v dnešnej dobe nesmierne aktuálna, životodarná a spásonosná. Vďačnosťou môžeme nahradiť večnú nespokojnosť, kritiku všetkého a všetkých, neustále obavy a strach z neistej budúcnosti, zhnusenie z politickej situácie či depresiu zo stavu životného prostredia. Buďme vďační za to, čo máme. Hľadajme vo všetkom a na každom to dobré. Oceňujme všetko, čo zažívame, lebo je to – slovami autora – súčasť „dokonalého Božieho plánu“. A ak sa nám niečo nepáči a chceli by sme to zmeniť, postoj vďačného prijatia znamená najúčinnejší prvý krok k niečomu lepšiemu. Táto útla knižka je plná pekných myšlienok aj konkrétnych podnetov, ktoré nám môžu pomôcť postupne si vypestovať dôstojnejšie a zmysluplnejšie nastavenie mysle: láskavosť, dôveru, pochopenie a ocenenie.

Dejiny (Herodotos)


Herodotove Dejiny predstavujú prvé zachované historiografické dielo európskej kultúry. I názov pre výskum minulosti – história – pochádza z Herodotovho úvodu, v ktorom sa zaviazal, že zaznamená správy o slávnych činoch Grékov a barbarov. Herodotos však spravil viac. Na základe dobovej gréckej vedy a náboženských predstáv prepojil vojenské udalosti s rozprávaním o raste Perzskej ríše a zvykoch ostatných barbarských národov. Zanechal nám tak cenné správy o egyptskej kultúre, Semiramidiných záhradách či slávnej perzskej poštovej ceste. Na vrchole Dejín sa Perzia stretne v boji s Grékmi a Herodotos nás priam dramaticky vtiahne do bitiek pri Maratóne, Termopylách aj Salamíne, kde po boku Aténčanov a Sparťanov bojujeme za slobodu Grécka i prežitie vznikajúcej demokracie. Význam slobody, rôznorodosti a rovnováhy vo svete zanalyzoval Herodotos na príbehoch minulosti spôsobom, ktorý nás i dnes nabáda zamýšľať sa nad miestom človeka v dejinách, jeho možnosťami chápať svet okolo seba či limitmi ovplyvniť každodenné dianie a budúcnosť.

Love in Time


A meditative reconsideration of what it means to love as ever-changing beings in an ever-changing world. We live in time, and so we love in time. Our beloveds change, and we change beside them. Sometimes we change apart, but it is this very changeableness, the braving of an unknown future together, that endears us to our lovers. Far from an ideal of constancy and commitment, then, love is an endeavor fraught with uncertainty. In this book, Fannie Bialek sketches a view of love that does not ignore the vagaries of life but embraces them. In contrast to philosophical and religious attempts to secure love against finitude, Bialek’s love embraces its susceptibility to change and accepts the ethical challenges such change introduces. Attentive to our deepest vulnerabilities, Bialek develops a fresh ethics of love grounded by our humility before time.

Technologická republika


Silicon Valley ztratilo svou cestu. Nejbystřejší lidské mozky v minulosti spolupracovaly se státem na přelomových technologiích, které posouvaly svět dopředu. Díky nim získal Západ převahu nad nepřáteli a dokázal zajistit bezpečí svých obyvatel. Dnes se však vztah k technologiím změnil. Současní inženýři a vývojáři raději vytvářejí marketingové algoritmy, sociální sítě a platformy na sdílení videí. Celý technologický sektor je posedlý spotřebitelskou kulturou, která plýtvá talentem i kapitálem na věci, které jsou triviální a pomíjivé. Tato pohodlná odevzdanost se navíc postupně rozšířila do akademické sféry, politiky i vedení firem. A výsledek? Vzestup celé generace lidí, jejichž posláním je slepé naplňování ekonomických rozmarů pozdního kapitalismu. Tento stav ve své knize nekompromisně kritizují Alexander C. Karp, generální ředitel jedné z nejrychleji rostoucích technologických společností v USA Palantir Technologies, a její šéf pro korporátní záležitosti Nicholas W. Zamiska. Softwarový průmysl se podle nich musí vrátit k řešení nejpalčivějších výzev současnosti, jako jsou nové závody ve zbrojení či rozvoj umělé inteligence. Stát se na oplátku musí otevřít inženýrskému myšlení, které stálo za původním rozmachem Silicon Valley. Vůdčí osobnosti by měly odmítnout intelektuální křehkost a vytvořit prostor pro ideologické střety. Ochota riskovat nepřízeň davu je podle Karpa a Zamisky klíčem k technologické a ekonomické výkonnosti. "Technologická republika kombinuje fascinující vhled do fungování Palantiru - společnosti, již inspiruje rojení včel, komediální improvizace a myšlenky Isaiaha Berlina - s nekompromisní národně-liberální filozofií Alexe Karpa. Výsledkem je strhující manifest za nový projekt Manhattan ve věku umělé inteligence." - Niall Ferguson, britský historik a autor knih Civilizace, Původ peněz a Zkáza: Politické aspekty katastrof
