Can jokes win a hostile room, a hopeless argument, or even an election? You bet they can, according to Cicero, and he knew what he was talking about. One of Rome's greatest politicians, speakers, and lawyers, Cicero was also reputedly one of antiquity's funniest people. After he was elected commander-in-chief and head of state, his enemies even started calling him "the stand-up Consul". How to Tell a Joke provides a lively new translation of Cicero's essential writing on humor alongside that of the later Roman orator and educator Quintilian.

Story0
Wherever there’s a rule, there is someone with the power to apply or ignore it—or add to it, in the interest of justice. From enforcing chores to issuing life sentences, decision-makers deliver flawed and sometimes arbitrary outcomes. But is their use of discretion good or bad overall? As a society, should we seek to minimize or maximize discretion, with all its potential for bias and other kinds of human error? Reframing our understanding of justice and ethics, philosopher Barry Lam argues that while use of discretion can never be perfect, removing it has even more problematic effects.

Viviamo nell'epoca che più di ogni altra celebra la libertà e la proclama un diritto assoluto. Eppure qualcosa non torna. Una nebbia sottile, silenziosa, si è insinuata nelle nostre vite: non vieta, non ordina, non punisce. Seduce. E mentre promette tranquillità e benessere ci spinge verso l'omologazione, spegnendo il pensiero critico, inibendo la creatività e il coraggio di essere diversi.

Success and wealth often seem like distant aspirations, achievable only through extraordinary effort and luck. However, upon closer examination, it becomes apparent that success and wealth are not merely products of individual endeavors but are deeply intertwined with the environments in which individuals are raised.

What to Expect When You're Dead chronicles the ways ancient peoples answered questions such as: How to achieve a good death and afterlife? What's the best way to dispose of a body? Do the dead face a postmortem judgement—and where do they end up? Do the dead have bodies in the afterlife—and can they eat, drink, and have sex? And what can the living do to stay on good terms with the nonliving?

Story0
In our interconnected world, self-interest and social-interest are rapidly becoming indistinguishable. If current negative trajectories remain, including growing climate destabilization, biodiversity loss, and economic inequality, an impending future of ecological collapse and societal destabilization will make "personal success" virtually meaningless. Yet our broken social system incentivizes behavior that will only make our problems worse. If true human rights progress is to be achieved today, it is time we dig deeper—rethinking the very foundation of our social system.

"Everything is sad," wrote the Ancient poets. But is this sadness merely a human experience, projected onto the world, or is there a gloom attributable to the world itself? Could the universe be forever weeping the "tears of things"? In this series of meditations, Dominic Pettman and Eugene Thacker explore some of the key "negative affects"—both eternal and emergent—associated with climate change, environmental destruction, and cosmic solitude. In so doing they unearth something so obvious that it has gone largely unnoticed: the question of how we should feel about climate change.

Im Leben ist irgendwann vieles entschieden: wen wir lieben, wo wir arbeiten, wie wir wohnen. Manche sind froh, angekommen zu sein – andere fürchten, festzustecken in einem Leben voller Routinen, und fragen sich, ob es das schon war. Wie finden wir neue Lebensziele, wenn vieles erreicht ist? Wie gehen wir damit um, dass sich die Zeithorizonte langsam verengen und einige Züge mittlerweile abgefahren sind? Philosophisch fundiert und voller Bezüge aus dem Alltag denkt Barbara Bleisch nach über Lebenserfahrung, Leichtigkeit und Gelassenheit.

Why is social justice important, and why does social justice matter?Social justice and diversity have reached the collective consciousness in recent years, with celebrities and politicians alike wading into issues of everyday bias and discrimination. Only now have phrases like equity over equality, discrimination and disparities become mainstream in our vocabulary and consciousness. People finally talk about diversity oppression and change, and human rights for everyone.

We normally don’t have any time, but when we finally do, we lack energy. On those rare occasions when we have energy outside of work, it is restless and difficult to harness towards meaningful goals. Starting from the realization that meaningful time is worthless without energy, the concept of “timenergy” points to something we all lack: large energy-infused blocks of repeatable time throughout the week.

Andy Blunden’s Hegel Marx & Vygotsky, Essays in Social Philosophy presents his novel approach to social theory in a series of essays. Blunden aims to use the cultural psychology of Lev Vygotsky and the Soviet Activity Theorists to renew Hegelian Marxism as an interdisciplinary science. This allows psychologists and social theorists to share their insights through concepts equally valid in either domain.

Think Like a Commoner dispels such prejudices by explaining the rich history and promising future of the commons - an ageless paradigm of cooperation and fairness that is re-making our world.

The underground cult bestseller! Essays that redefine the psychogeographical nooks of autonomy. Recipes for poetic terror, anarcho -black magic, post-situ psychotropic surgery, denunciations of spiritual addictions to vapid infotainment cults - this is the bastard classic, the watermark impressed upon our minds. Where conscience informs praxis, and action infects consciousness, T.A.Z. is beginning to worm its way into above-ground culture.

"Todo sobre el amor" ofrece nuevas formas radicales de pensar sobre el amor al mostrar su interconexión en nuestra vida privada y pública. En once capítulos concisos, hooks explica cómo nuestras nociones cotidianas de lo que significa dar y recibir amor a menudo nos fallan, y cómo estos ideales se establecen en la primera infancia. Ofrece un replanteamiento del amor propio (sin narcisismo) que aporta paz y compasión a nuestra vida personal y profesional, y defiende la importancia del amor para poner fin a las luchas entre individuos, comunidades y sociedades.
