Et meget omdiskuteret spørgsmål i sidste århundrede var, om litteratur kan ses som videnskab. I denne bog hævdes det , at videnskab er en form for litteratur, og at videnskaben har vendt sig mod litteraturen og litteraturvidenskaben.

La résistance et la désobéissance civile ? Un sujet toujours d'actualité. De nos jours, les Indignés, les Anonymous, les Zadistes et tant d'autres citoyens engagés et parfois révoltés veulent exprimer leurs convictions citoyennes en s'affranchissant des traditionnels relais politiques, dans un désir de démocratie directe engagée. Tous ces collectifs engagés sont des descendants spirituels de " La Désobéissance civile ", un essai de Henry David Thoreau publié en 1849. Thoreau écrit sur le thème de la désobéissance civile en se fondant sur son expérience personnelle. En juillet 1846, il est emprisonné pour n'avoir pas, volontairement, payé un impôt à l'État américain. D'après lui, l'Etat ne représentait pas ses convictions : notamment en faisant la guerre contre le Mexique et en soutenant à l'époque l'esclavage, dans les Etats du Sud. Il ne passe qu'une nuit en prison, car son entourage paie la caution, ce qui le rend furieux. Avec le Discours de la servitude volontaire d'Étienne de La Boétie, La Désobéissance civile est un ouvrage fondateur du concept de désobéissance civile.

Alexis de Tocqueville est célèbre pour ses analyses de la Révolution française, de la démocratie américaine et de l'évolution des démocraties occidentales en général. Il défend la liberté individuelle et l'égalité politique. Exprimant parfois des réserves sur l'évolution possible de la démocratie vers une dictature de la majorité au nom de l'égalité, et rejetant à ce titre nettement toute orientation socialiste, il est l'une des plus grandes références de la philosophie politique libérale. Théoricien du colonialisme, légitimant l'expansion française en Afrique du Nord (1841-1846), il fustige néanmoins la barbarie des armées françaises en Afrique, s'oppose à l'application du régime militaire en Algérie, et défend parmi les premiers l'abolition de l'esclavage dans les colonies. Parallèlement, Tocqueville refuse les considérations de la thèse de son ami Joseph Arthur de Gobineau (Essai sur l'inégalité des races humaines). Retrouvez dans ce livre audio 6 grands textes emblématiques et fondateurs de la pensée politique de Tocqueville. Sélection de textes : Lecture de Machiavel ; Une certaine conception du politique : le primat de la liberté, lettres à Marie et à Edouard ; Contre le coup d'Etat et la tyrannie ; Les valeurs universelles, humanisme, droits de l'homme ; Contre l'esclavage ; Contre le génocide des Indiens d'Amérique.

"Brudstykker af en anarkistisk antropologi" er en lille bog med store tanker om en mulig anden verden. I et syvdelt essay reflekterer antropologen David Graeber over samtidens politiske bevægelser, den anarkistiske politiske filosofi og antropologiens enestående position som levende samfundsvidenskab. I korte manifester og tankeeksperimenter stilles der spørgsmålstegn ved aspekter af vores levevis, vi tager for givet. Samtidigt viser eksempler fra antropologien, at mennesker både har levet og fortsat lever på måder, der er mere frie fra hierarkier, statsmagt og undertrykkelse end den kapitalistiske samfundsform. På vejen samler Graeber brudstykkerne til en begyndende anarkistisk antropologi, der endnu ikke findes i samlet form. Bogen er spændende læsning for alle, der er interesserede i, hvordan et alternativt samfund kunne se ud.David Graeber (1961-2020) var en amerikansk antropolog og anarkist. Hans indflydelsesrige arbejde inden for økonomisk antropologi med bøgerne "Debt: The First 5000 Years" (2011) og "Bullshit Jobs" (2018) gjorde ham - sammen med hans fremtrædende rolle i Occupy-bevægelsen - til en af tiden mest anerkendte antropologer og venstrefløjstænkere. Frem til Graebers tidlige død i 2020 skrev han hundredvis af artikler, et dusin bøger, og dedikerede sit liv til både undervisning, forskning og aktivisme.

Rodó hoy es recordado principalmente por ser el autor de Ariel, ensayo filosófico que marcó la transición entre los siglos XIX y XX con su llamado a formar una élite latinoamericana de espiritualidad "elevada", que se inspirara en la caridad y los ideales grecolatinos en lugar de hacerlo en el utilitarismo. Menos se tiene en cuenta que Ariel integraba un ciclo más amplio ─La vida nueva– y que su propuesta modernista se desarrolló luego en otros títulos, como Liberalismo y jacobinismo y Motivos de Proteo. Esos libros y algunos más se incluyen en estas Obras completas junto con sus poesías y su correspondencia personal.José Enrique Rodó (Montevideo, 1871 - Palermo, 1917) fue un escritor, político y periodista uruguayo. El alegato regenerador y antipositivista de su libro Ariel (1900) resultó muy influyente en su tiempo. Fue diputado por el Partido Colorado en varias ocasiones, alternadas con períodos de alejamiento de la política activa. Mantuvo una nutrida correspondencia con intelectuales como Rubén Darío y Miguel de Unamuno. Murió en soledad durante un viaje por Europa.

Temor y temblor fue publicado en 1843 por Søren Kierkegaard bajo el seudónimo de Johannes de Silentio. Este escrito filosófico comienza con la meditación de Abraham, y en concreto en el viaje emprendido por él, en compañía de su hijo Isaac, rumbo al monte del país de Moriah en el que debería ofrecerlo en sacrificio. A partir de ese viaje, marcado por el silencio, el sacrificio y la fe en Dios, Kierkegaard aprovecha para plantearse tres preguntas que nos permitirán entender mejor al gran hombre que fue Abraham:1) ¿Existe una suspensión teológica de lo ético?2) ¿Existe un deber absoluto para con Dios?3) ¿Es posible justificar éticamente a Abraham por haber guardado silencio ante Sara, Eleazar e Isaac?Fruto de su rebelión juvenil contra la dialéctica hegeliana y de una dolorosa experiencia autobiográfica, su desgraciado amor por Regine Olsen, Temor y Temblor es probablemente la obra más significativa de Kierkegaard y es la base del argumento reflexivo que desembocaría en el concepto de la angustia y en la formulación del existencialismo.Años después de su publicación, el filósofo danés anotaba en su diario: "Cuando yo haya muerto bastará mi libro Temor y Temblor para convertirme en un escritor inmortal. Se leerá, se traducirá a otras lenguas, y el espantoso pathos que contiene esa obra hará temblar. En la época en que fue escrita, cuando su autor se escondía tras la apariencia de un flâneur, nadie podía sospechar la seriedad que encerraba este libro. [...] Pero una vez muerto, se me convertirá en una figura irreal, una figura sombría..., y el libro resultará pavoroso".Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) fue un filósofo y teólogo danés, considerado el padre del existencialismo. Su filosofía muestra gran preocupación por la condición de la existencia humana, por centrar su filosofía en el individuo y la subjetividad, en la libertad y la responsabilidad, en la desesperación y la angustia.

Comme a son habitude, a dix-sept heures, Diderot se promene au Palais-Royal. Ce soir-la il rencontre le neveu du grand musicien Jean-Philippe Rameau.Les voila au cafe de la Regence, au milieu des joueurs d'echecs et des ivrognes, a converser bien gaiement. Entre le boheme et le philosophe s'engage alors un dialogue plein d'esprit, petillant et empli d'ironie, ou tous les sujets sont abordes sans gene.Il s'agit la d'une satire qui ne menage ni les puissants, ni les fortunes, ni les adversaires de l'Encyclopedie. Initialement traduit par Goethe, ce dialogue philosophique annonce sur un ton humoristique la pensee d'un Diderot en plein reglement de comptes. -

When a tortoise challenges a great Greek hero to use his logic in order to decipher a simple philosophical argument, slight chaos ensues. ‘What the Tortoise Said to Achilles’ is an endless cycle of suppositions and deductions. A refined piece of philosophical writing, Caroll’s discussion was one of the first steps towards paradoxically explaining logical truth. His clever prose makes this novel an essential read for budding philosophers and logic aficionados.Lewis Caroll (1832-1898) was a British author. He was famed for his novel ‘Alice in Wonderland' and its sequel ‘Through the Looking-Glass’. Both of which have been successfully adapted to film and stage.

"Ret og uret" rummer en fremstilling af moralfilosofiske temaer. Severin Christensen beskæftigede sig hele sit voksne liv med spørgsmål om moral, skyld og retsstaten. I denne bog beskiver han moralen som en naturlov og argumenterer for, at moral ikke bør behandles ud fra et religiøst eller emotionelt perspektiv. Man må med andre ord skelne mellem moralfilosofi og moralprædiken. Gennem dette argument beskriver analyserer Christensen en række forskellige spørgsmål, herunder retskaffenhed, ansvar for retskrænkelse, naturlig ret og juridisk ret samt forholdet mellem stat og individ.Severin Christensen (1867-1933) var en dansk læge og moralfilosof. Han skrev en lang række artikler og bøger om sit liberale livssyn. Han forsvarede ihærdigt individets ret til personlig udvikling og var kraftigt imod sin samtids samfundsform, som han mente i alt for høj grad tolererede statens indblanding i private anliggender. Christensen fik en stor tilhængerskare blandt højskolefolk, som sammen med danske tilhængere af den amerikanske økonom Henry George dannede bevægelsen Danmarks Retsforbund. Forbundet blev i 1922 omdannet til et egentlig politisk parti, der ønskede at virkeliggøre "retsstaten" som den blev formuleret af Severin Christensen. Værkerne "Retsstaten. En Fremstilling af det offentlige Livs Etik" (1911), "Retsmoral i Privatliv og Statsstyre" (1916) og "Fra Magtstat til Retsstat" (1924) er blandt Christensens mest kendte moralfilosofiske udgivelser.
