Fake, 2. vydání


Ve své nové knize nás chce autor naučit, jak rozpoznávat pravdivé informace od těch lživých a vymyšlených, které často nekriticky přijímáme kvůli své slabé finanční gramotnosti a stáváme se tak snadnou obětí různých institucí. Často naletíme na nabídky, kterých poté litujeme, když už není cesty zpět. Vaše základní finanční gramotnost začíná v této knize od úplných základů a naučí vás přemýšlet o penězích tak, že se již nenecháte zbytečně napálit podvodným telefonátem nebo nesmyslnými akcemi v obchodech. Kniha je také kritikou současného globálního rozdělování peněz, které je podle autora ve velké míře okrádáním běžného člověka.

Az értő figyelem mint életforma - Hogyan válj képessé arra, hogy megértsd, mi van a másik szívében és fejében


A vágy, hogy mások számára láthatóak legyünk, hogy értsenek és elismerjenek bennünket, az egyik legelemibb emberi vágy. Mégsem vagyunk képesek magától értetődő módon megadni ezt másoknak. David Brooks könyve a legjobb ismeretterjesztő könyvek közül való: könnyen érthető és szórakoztató módon, tudományos eredményekre támaszkodva, konkrét példák segítségével járja körbe az értő figyelem témáját, s azt, miként valósíthatjuk meg, hogy ezáltal jobb és teljesebb lehessen az életünk. David Brooks azt vallja, hogy úgy őrizhetjük meg ebben az erőszakkal és fájdalmakkal átitatott világban mindazt, ami a szó legnemesebb értelmében emberi, ha tisztelettel és értő kíváncsisággal fordulunk embertársainkhoz. Az ő felfogásában a valódi humanizmus életforma, amely konkrét mindennapi tettekben ölthet testet azáltal a képesség által, hogy képesek vagyunk valójában és mélységükben megérteni az embereket, akikkel dolgunk van. Minden jól működő család, közösség és szervezet középpontjában egy alapvető humanista képesség áll: a képesség, hogy valóban lássunk és értsünk másokat, és ezt éreztessük is velük. Az Értő figyelem mint életforma című könyv egyebek mellett segít... - megértőbbé és figyelmesebbé válni; - megtalálni azt az örömöt, amely másik valódi, mély megértéséből fakad; - megtanulni, hogyan mondhatunk ellen anélkül, hogy megmérgeznénk a barátságunkat; - megtanulni, hogyan érdemes felfedni a sebezhetőségünket. "Az embernek ugyanúgy szüksége van elismerésre, mint ennivalóra vagy vízre. Nincs nagyobb büntetés, mint átnézni valakin, jelentéktelenné, láthatatlanná degradálni az illetőt. "A legnagyobb bűn felebarátunkkal szemben nem az, ha gyűlöljük - írta George Bernard Shaw -, hanem az, ha nem törődünk vele: ez az igazi embertelenség!" Ha így teszünk, azzal azt mondjuk: Nem számítasz. Nem létezel. Ugyanakkor nem nagyon van annál kielégítőbb, mintha érezzük, hogy figyelnek ránk, megértenek minket."

The Analytic Tradition in Philosophy, Volume 3


An in-depth history of modal logic in analytic philosophy, from a leading philosopher of languageThis is the third of five volumes of a definitive history of analytic philosophy from the invention of modern logic in 1879 to the end of the twentieth century. Scott Soames, a leading philosopher of language and historian of analytic philosophy, provides the fullest and most detailed account of the analytic tradition yet published, one that is unmatched in its chronological range, topics covered, and depth of treatment. Focusing on the major milestones and distinguishing them from detours, Soames gives a seminal account of where the analytic tradition has been and where it appears to be heading. Volume 3 explains the most important achievement in the analytic tradition in the twentieth century—the rise and development of the epistemic and metaphysical modalities of necessity, possibility, and conceivability—and how it opened new vistas for the understanding of mind, meaning, and metaphysics. At the center of the story is Saul Kripke, who generated new modal systems and their open-ended philosophical applications, and his undergraduate teacher, W.V.O. Quine, who rejected the modalities plus our notions of linguistic meaning and reference. Part 1 traces the rise of modal logic from C. I. Lewis’s unhappiness with Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell’s Principia Mathematica, through Lewis’s modal S-systems, Ruth Marcus’s proof-theoretic quantified modal logic, Rudolph Carnap’s Meaning and Necessity, and Kripke’s logical and philosophical breakthrough. Part 2 chronicles Quine’s rejection of meaning, necessity, synonymy, and reference. Part 3 assesses the philosophical framework provided by Kripke’s Naming and Necessity, separating its revolutionary insights from its unsolved problems.

Blitzkrieg and the Russian Art of War


A cutting-edge investigation of how Russia makes war. Russian strategy in the twenty-first century has been described in terms of ‘hybrid’ warfare, an approach characterised by measures short of war, such as cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns. But as the invasion of Ukraine has brutally demonstrated, conventional armed violence remains a key element of Russian power. In Blitzkrieg and the Russian art of war, Andrew Monaghan offers a high-level view of Russian thinking about warfare. Drawing on extensive Russian sources, he addresses important questions that have been overlooked by most Western commentators: what is the military leadership’s distinctive idea of twenty-first-century blitzkrieg? How does it understand holistic territorial defence? How does it manage the shifting balance between offence and defence? Introducing key concepts from Russian military thinking, Blitzkrieg and the Russian art of war is a crucial resource for understanding Russia’s resurgent role on the global stage and the devastating threat the country poses to the international order. -- .

Autorka usiluje o objektivní vylíčení historických událostí, jež vystupují z osudů jejích prarodičů stižených tragédií holokaustu. Věnuje se především životnímu příběhu své matky překladatelky Ruth Tosekové a jejího manžela významného redaktora a novináře Vladimíra Toseka. Oba byli aktivními účastníky společenského dění v 50. v 60. letech a aktivně se zapojili do událostí Pražského jara. Po odchodu z Československa se pohybovali v blízkosti představitelů exilu, včetně Jiřího Pelikána. V závěru se kniha zabývá i vztahem exulantů k české polistopadové společnosti.

Díky pečlivému studiu pramenů i schopnosti zachovat si od líčených událostí odstup se Daniele Spenser daří skloubit tzv. malé a velké dějiny 20. století.

The Great Leveler


How only violence and catastrophes have consistently reduced inequality throughout world historyAre mass violence and catastrophes the only forces that can seriously decrease economic inequality? To judge by thousands of years of history, the answer is yes. Tracing the global history of inequality from the Stone Age to today, Walter Scheidel shows that inequality never dies peacefully. Inequality declines when carnage and disaster strike and increases when peace and stability return. The Great Leveler is the first book to chart the crucial role of violent shocks in reducing inequality over the full sweep of human history around the world. Ever since humans began to farm, herd livestock, and pass on their assets to future generations, economic inequality has been a defining feature of civilization. Over thousands of years, only violent events have significantly lessened inequality. The "Four Horsemen" of leveling—mass-mobilization warfare, transformative revolutions, state collapse, and catastrophic plagues—have repeatedly destroyed the fortunes of the rich. Scheidel identifies and examines these processes, from the crises of the earliest civilizations to the cataclysmic world wars and communist revolutions of the twentieth century. Today, the violence that reduced inequality in the past seems to have diminished, and that is a good thing. But it casts serious doubt on the prospects for a more equal future. An essential contribution to the debate about inequality, The Great Leveler provides important new insights about why inequality is so persistent—and why it is unlikely to decline anytime soon.

Continental Reckoning


Finalist for the 2024 Pulitzer Prize in History Winner of Columbia University's 2024 Bancroft Prize in American History Winner of the 2024 Caughey Western History Prize Winner of the 2024 Spur Award Named a Best Civil War Book of 2023 by Civil War Monitor In Continental Reckoning renowned historian Elliott West presents a sweeping narrative of the American West and its vital role in the transformation of the nation. In the 1840s, by which time the United States had expanded to the Pacific, what would become the West was home to numerous vibrant Native cultures and vague claims by other nations. Thirty years later it was organized into states and territories and bound into the nation and world by an infrastructure of rails, telegraph wires, and roads and by a racial and ethnic order, with its Indigenous peoples largely dispossessed and confined to reservations. Unprecedented exploration uncovered the West’s extraordinary resources, beginning with the discovery of gold in California within days of the United States acquiring the territory following the Mexican-American War. As those resources were developed, often by the most modern methods and through modern corporate enterprise, half of the contiguous United States was physically transformed. Continental Reckoning guides the reader through the rippling, multiplying changes wrought in the western half of the country, arguing that these changes should be given equal billing with the Civil War in this crucial transition of national life. As the West was acquired, integrated into the nation, and made over physically and culturally, the United States shifted onto a course of accelerated economic growth, a racial reordering and redefinition of citizenship, engagement with global revolutions of science and technology, and invigorated involvement with the larger world. The creation of the West and the emergence of modern America were intimately related. Neither can be understood without the other. With masterful prose and a critical eye, West presents a fresh approach to the dawn of the American West, one of the most pivotal periods of American history.

Symbols of Freedom


How American symbols inspired enslaved people and their allies to fight for true freedom In the early United States, anthems, flags, holidays, monuments, and memorials were powerful symbols of an American identity that helped unify a divided people. A language of freedom played a similar role in shaping the new nation. The Declaration of Independence's assertion "that all men are created equal," Patrick Henry's cry of "Give me liberty, or give me death!," and Francis Scott Key's "star-spangled banner" waving over "the land of the free and the home of the brave," were anthemic celebrations of a newly free people. Resonating across the country, they encouraged the creation of a republic where the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" was universal, natural, and inalienable. For enslaved people and their allies, the language and symbols that served as national touchstones made a mockery of freedom. Deriding the ideas that infused the republic's founding, they encouraged an empty American culture that accepted the abstract notion of equality rather than the concrete idea. Yet, as award-winning author Matthew J. Clavin reveals, it was these powerful expressions of American nationalism that inspired forceful and even violent resistance to slavery. Symbols of Freedom is the surprising story of how enslaved people and their allies drew inspiration from the language and symbols of American freedom. Interpreting patriotic words, phrases, and iconography literally, they embraced a revolutionary nationalism that not only justified but generated open opposition. Mindful and proud that theirs was a nation born in blood, these disparate patriots fought to fulfill the republic's promise by waging war against slavery. In a time when the US flag, the Fourth of July, and historical sites have never been more contested, this book reminds us that symbols are living artifacts whose power is derived from the meaning with which we imbue them.
