Han transformado la manera en que nos vemos a nosotros mismos y a los demas. Han inspirado el debate, la discordia, la guerra y la revolucion. Han iluminado, indignado, provocado y consolado. Han enriquecido vidas, y tambien las han destruido. Taurus publica las obras de los grandes pensadores, pioneros, radicales y visionarios cuyas ideas sacudieron la civilizacion y nos impulsaron a ser quienes somos. Este explosivo llamamiento de Rousseau a favor de la libertad humana contribuyo a encender la mecha de la Revolucion Francesa y ha avivado desde entonces cualquier debate sobre como deberiamos gobernarnos los unos a los otros, siendo considerado tanto un modelo para el terror politico como una declaracion fundamental de la democracia.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe Social Contract is one of Jean Jacques Rousseau's works that has influenced politics & government throughout the world. It espouses Rousseau's theory on power & philosophical doctrine by delving into what he viewed as the best way to establish a political community in the face of the problems of commercial society, which he had already identified in his Discourse on Inequality (1754). The Social Contract helped inspire political reforms or revolutions in Europe, especially in France. It argued against the idea that monarchs were divinely empowered to legislate. Rousseau asserts that only the people, who are sovereign, have that all-powerful right. In The Social Contract (1762) Rousseau argues that laws are binding only when they are supported by the general will of the people. When people aren't abiding the general will and they are "forced to be free", this wasn't advocating totalitarianism. The general will is laws that are accepted as just and those who don't follow the general will are breaking the law. Rousseau is advocating to force people to follow the law because it is in everyone's best interest to do so.

Baltasar Gracian y Morales, better known as Baltasar Gracian, was a Spanish Jesuit and philosopher. Gracian's style, generically called conceptism, is characterized by ellipsis and the concentration of a maximum of significance in a minimum of form, an approach referred to in Spanish as agudeza (wit), and which is brought to its extreme in The Art of Prudence or The art of governing oneself which is almost entirely composed of three hundred maxims with commentary. He constantly plays with words: each phrase becomes a puzzle, using the most diverse rhetorical devices. His writings were lauded by Schopenhauer and Nietzsche.

Y si solo se pudiera pensar bien a traves de los pies?Un admirable libro que entusiasmara incluso a los sedentarios empedernidos. -Le Monde des LivresAndar no exige ni aprendizaje, ni tecnica, ni material ni dinero. Solo requiere de un cuerpo, de espacio y de tiempo. Cada dia son mas los aficionados a caminar, y todos ellos obtienen los beneficios de esa propension: sosiego, comunion con la naturaleza, plenitud.Andar. Una filosofia es un recorrido (a pie), filosofico y literario, en compania de ilustres autores como Rimbaud, Thoreau o Kant cuyo hilo conductor es el simple hecho de caminar. Andar como experiencia de libertad, como acto solitario y propicio para la ensonacion, como motor de creatividad.Este libro es una celebracion del paseo y una reivindicacion de virtudes elementales que parecemos haber olvidado en esta epoca de prisas y de monotonia. Desde un enfoque cultural, Frederic Gros se adhiere a la corriente de lo slow y nos invita a valorar las ventajas de la lentitud. Para ir mas despacio no se ha encontrado nada mejor que andar. Para andar hacen falta ante todo dos piernas. Todo lo demas es superfluo. Quieren ir mas rapido? Entonces no caminen, hagan otra cosa: rueden, deslicense, vuelen.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThis passionate affirmation of the simple life, and joy in simple things explores how walking influenced historys greatest thinkersfrom Henry David Thoreau and Jack Kerouac to Gandhi and Nietzsche (Observer).In this French bestseller, leading thinker and philosopher Frederic Gros charts the many different ways we get from A to Bthe pilgrimage, the promenade, the protest march, the nature rambleand reveals what they say about us.Gros draws attention to other thinkers who also saw walking as something central to their practice. On his travels he ponders Thoreaus eager seclusion in Walden Woods; the reason Rimbaud walked in a fury, while Nerval rambled to cure his melancholy. He shows us how Rousseau walked in order to think, while Nietzsche wandered the mountainside to write. In contrast, Kant marched through his hometown every day, exactly at the same hour, to escape the compulsion of thought. Brilliant and erudite, A Philosophy of Walking is an entertaining and insightful manifesto for putting one foot in front of the other.

Una valiosa e inedita aportacion de Hannah Arendt al conflicto entre Israel y Palestina.En 1944, la corriente sionista europea estaba a punto de lograr el objetivo de fundar su propio Estado en territorio palestino. Fueron muchos los intelectuales que participaron de este planteamiento, entre ellos Hannah Arendt, quien elaboro un breve estudio acerca de la viabilidad del proyecto, posicionandose a favor de la creacion del Estado de Israel, aunque con ciertas reticencias: este asentamiento no debia realizarse sin establecer las condiciones con claridad, debido al peligro de desembocar en una convivencia truncada y hostil. Advirtio, ademas, de que Estados Unidos podria aprovecharse de la situacion para apropiarse del petroleo de la region.Sobre Palestina alberga una funesta premonicion que habia permanecido inedita hasta hoy. Tanto en el prologo como en el epilogo, el filosofo Thomas Meyer da cuenta del contexto del manuscrito de la pensadora judia y del porque de que nunca se publicara, amen de las presiones recibidas por parte de los comites de apoyo sionista. En este volumen tambien se incorpora el memorandum titulado "El problema de los refugiados palestinos", redactado por varios autores en 1958 -entre los que figura, a disgusto de ella, Hannah Arendt- y publicado por el Institute for Mediterranean Affairs, un estudio en forma de esclarecedor catalogo de cuestiones acerca del conflicto palestino, redactado diez anos despues de que el Estado de Israel se hiciera realidad, del modo en que Arendt habia temido y pronosticado.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA valuable and unpublished contribution by Hannah Arendt to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.In 1944, the European Zionist current was about to achieve the objective of founding its own State in Palestinian territory. Many intellectuals participated in its planning, among them Hannah Arendt, who elaborated a brief study about the viability of the project, leaning in favor of creating the State of Israel, though with certain reservations: this settlement should not be built without establishing clear conditions, due to the dangers that it could disembogue in a curtailed and hostile interaction. She also warned that the United States might try to take advantage of the situation to get hold of the regions oil. On Palestine harbors a fateful premonition that had been kept unpublished till today. In both the prologue and the epilogue, philosopher Thomas Meyer gives account of the context of the manuscript by this Jewish thinker and why it was never published, aside from the pressure by Zionist support committees. This volume also includes the memorandum entitled The Problem of Palestinian Refugees, written by several authors in 1958featuring, to her disgust, Hannah Arendtand published by the Institute for Mediterranean Affairs, a study in the form of an enlightening catalogue of issues regarding the Palestinian conflict, written ten years after the State of Israel became a reality, in the way Arendt had feared and predicted.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Y si aprovecharamos el poder de la vergueenza como un motor vital y politico?El nuevo ensayo del autor de Andar, una filosofia. La vergueenza es un sentimiento omnipresente en el mundo contemporaneo, un signo de nuestra responsabilidad. Podemos avergonzarnos del estado del mundo, de las propias pertenencias frente a los que no tienen nada, de la indecente riqueza de los poderosos, del modo en que asfixiamos el planeta, de las actitudes sexistas o racistas.La vergueenza no es solo tristeza y retraimiento; tambien es portadora de ira, de una energia transformadora. Por eso Marx proclamo que la vergueenza es revolucionaria. En este ensayo, Frederic Gros recurre a autores como Primo Levi, a Annie Ernaux, a Virginie Despentes y a James Baldwin, para explorar las profundidades de un sentimiento demasiado olvidado en la filosofia moral y politica.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An original reflection on shame as the central feeling of our age - the expression of an anger that is the necessary condition for new struggles.Can shame become a source of political strength? Faced with injustice, growing inequality and systemic violence, we cry out in shame. We feel ashamed of obscene wealth amid wider deprivation. We feel ashamed of humanity for its ruthless and relentless exploitation of the earth. We feel ashamed of the racism and sexism that permeate society and our everyday lives.This difficult emotion is not just sadness or a withdrawal into oneself, nor is it a paralysing sense of inadequacy. As Frederic Gros argues in A Philosophy of Shame, it arises when our perception of reality rejects passivity and resignation and instead embraces imagination. Shame thus becomes the expression of an anger that is a powerful, transformative force -one that assumes a radical character.In dialogue with authors such as Primo Levi, Annie Ernaux, Virginie Despentes and James Baldwin, Gros explores a concept that is still little understood in its anthropological, moral, psychological and political depths. Shame is a revolutionary sentiment because it lies at the foundation of any path of subjective recognition, transformation and struggle.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. El nuevo libro de Joseph Stiglitz, Premio Nobel de EconomiaUn argumento solido a favor de un capitalismo progresista basado en la cooperacion para el bien comun. -Kirkus La libertad es la idea que subyace a las sociedades occidentales, pero de un tiempo a esta parte su significado se ha desplazado: la libertad es la libertad de las empresas para contaminar, la de las grandes tecnologicas para escapar de cualquier control y la de los politicos para mentir y fomentar la crispacion. Como hemos llegado hasta aqui? De que libertad estamos hablando? Y de que libertad deberiamos hablar?El experimento neoliberal al que se han entregado las elites en las ultimas decadas ha provocado que los mercados sin regular hayan explotado a los consumidores, los trabajadores y el medioambiente. A su vez, la desigualdad resultante ha propiciado la aparicion de movimientos populistas que piensan que la libertad es ignorar cualquier responsabilidad que tengamos hacia los demas ciudadanos. Ahora la verdadera libertad politica y economica esta en peligro.Con pluma afiliada y apoyado en el trabajo de filosofos contemporaneos, Stiglitz dibuja una nueva manera de considerar el papel del Estado y un modo mas profundo y humano de valorar las libertades y decidir que hacer cuando la libertad de uno choca con la de su vecino. Tenemos que reinventar nuestros sistemas economicos y legales y adoptar formas de accion colectiva que incluyan regulaciones e inversiones, si queremos crear una sociedad innovadora en la que todos podamos prosperar.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFrom one of the worlds leading economists, a compelling new vision of personal and economic freedom.We are a nation born from the conviction that people must be free. But since the middle of the last century, that idea has been co-opted. Forces on the political Right have justified exploitation by cloaking it in the rhetoric of freedom, leading to pharmaceutical companies freely overcharging for medication, a Big Tech free from oversight, politicians free to incite rebellion, corporations free to pollute, and more. How did we get here? Whose freedom are weand should webe thinking about?In The Road to Freedom, Nobel prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz dissects Americas current economic system and the political ideology that created it, laying bare their twinned failure. Free and unfettered markets have only succeeded in delivering a series of crises: the financial crisis, the opioid crisis, and the crisis of inequality. While a small portion of the population has amassed considerable wealth, wages for most people have stagnated. Free and unfettered markets have exploited consumers, workers, and the environment alike. Such failures have fed populist movements that believe being free means abandoning any obligations citizens have to one another. As they grow in strength, these movements now pose a real threat to true economic and political freedom.As an economic advisor to presidents and as chief economist at the World Bank, Stiglitz has witnessed these profound changes firsthand. As he argues, the failures follow from the elites unshakeable dedication to the neoliberal experiment. Explicitly taking on giants such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, Stiglitz exposes accepted ideas about our political and economic life for what they are: twisted visions that tear at the social fabric while they enrich the very few.The Road to Freedom breaks new ground, showing how economicsincluding recent advances in which Stiglitz has played such an important rolereframes how to think about freedom and the role of the state in a twenty-first century society.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. El extrano e increible caso Breitwieser, la historia de una obsesion por el arte y una insaciable avidez por poseer la belleza a toda costa. Impresionante. Tan absorbente como una novela de Highsmith solo que, por supuesto, hay que recordar constantemente que todo es verdad. Me ha encantado. -Maggie O'Farrell, autora de Hamnet Ha habido muchos ladrones de arte a lo largo de la historia, pero ninguno como Stephane Breitwieser. El nunca robo por dinero, sino que sustraia solo aquellas piezas cuya belleza lo embelesaba, y exponia esos tesoros en un par de habitaciones secretas de su casa, donde podia admirarlos a su antojo. Nuestro ladron tenia, ademas de una gran sensibilidad artistica, una habilidad innata para burlar casi cualquier sistema de seguridad, y consiguio perpetrar un numero asombroso de robos a plena luz del dia, sin armas ni amenazas, mientras su novia distraia a los guardias de seguridad. Pero ese talento iba unido a un creciente desprecio por el riesgo y una necesidad adictiva de fijarse nuevos retos, ignorando las suplicas de su novia para que dejara de hacerlo, hasta que un ultimo acto de arrogancia acabo con todo. A lo largo de casi ocho anos, Breitwieser recorrio museos y catedrales de toda Europa, donde robo mas de trescientos objetos entre ellos cuadros de Pieter Brueghel el Joven, Antoine Watteau o Francois Boucher y llego a acumular mas de 1.400 millones de dolares en piezas de coleccionismo de primer nivel. En El ladron de arte, un autentico rompecabezas con giros que resultan casi increibles, Michael Finkel explora con brillantez la emocion de los golpes que llevo a Breitwieser a seguir adelante y narra de manera genial la historia de este avido coleccionista para quien los museos no eran mas que prisiones donde el arte se encontraba recluido.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR, 2023: The Washington Post, The New Yorker, Lit Hub "Enthralling." The Wall Street Journal In this spellbinding portrait of obsession and flawed genius, the best-selling author of The Stranger in the Woods brings us into Breitwiesers strange worldunlike most thieves, he never stole for money, keeping all his treasures in a single room where he could admire them. For centuries, works of art have been stolen in countless ways from all over the world, but no one has been quite as successful at it as the master thief Stephane Breitwieser. Carrying out more than two hundred heists over nearly eight yearsin museums and cathedrals all over EuropeBreitwieser, along with his girlfriend who worked as his lookout, stole more than three hundred objects, until it all fell apart in spectacular fashion. In The Art Thief, Michael Finkel brings us into Breitwiesers strange and fascinating world. Unlike most thieves, Breitwieser never stole for money. Instead, he displayed all his treasures in a pair of secret rooms where he could admire them to his hearts content. Possessed of a remarkable athleticism and an innate ability to circumvent practically any security system, Breitwieser managed to pull off a breathtaking number of audacious thefts. Yet these strange talents bred a growing disregard for risk and an addicts need to score, leading Breitwieser to ignore his girlfriends pleas to stopuntil one final act of hubris brought everything crashing down. This is a riveting story of art, crime, love, and an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
