Politik, Moral und Utopie - "Für den politisch Sensiblen ist Politik überall, sie kriecht quasi durch jede Ritze. Wenn man mit dem Gang der politischen Geschäfte nicht einverstanden ist, erhitzt das die Gefühle. So entstehen politisches Engagement, aber auch Fanatismus und Frustration", schreibt Thilo Sarrazin. Wie funktioniert Politik? Wie kommen politische Fehlentscheidungen zustande? Warum sind gute Absichten oft von Erfolg gekrönt? Wo liegen die Gründe für den Erfolg oder Misserfolg von Gesellschaften?

In Breakdown: How Progressive Ideology is Eroding Morality and Redefining Mental Health in America, Dr. Richard Kradin explores how progressive ideology has infiltrated and now dominates the mental health field in America. Notions of political correctness, radical feminism, identity politics, and LGBTQ ideology have all become mainstream within the mental health field, representing a radical change from a field founded on honesty, uninhibited freedom of expression, and science. Dr. Kradin offers an alternative morality-based approach as a prescription for mental health.

Begriffe, die alltäglich verwendet und scheinbar als selbstverständlich erachtet werden, werden in diesem Werk differenziert erklärt.

Mit tiefem Kenntnisreichtum bringt uns Hegel den Geist der Völker des alten Orients, der Antike und des christlichen Abendlandes nahe und verbindet sie zu einer Stufenfolge der Entwicklung der Freiheit. Alle Umwälzungen, aller Schmerz und alles Leid in der Geschichte sind der Idee geschuldet, dass der Mensch als Mensch frei ist. Sie ist der "Angelpunkt, um den sich die Weltgeschichte dreht". Hegels Weltgeschichte ist bis heute eine historische, philosophische und theologische Herausforderung.

Vierter Teil aus Hegels "Vorlesungen über die Philosophie der Geschichte".

In Unhealthy: Corruption and Malpractice in the American Health System, Dr. Richard Kradin, a professor at Harvard Medical School and expert in pulmonary infectious diseases, explores the history of the corporate and ideological transformation of America’s medical profession and how it has diminished the quality of health care.

La tecnología tiene un papel determinante en lo cotidiano: el trabajo, la educación y la vida social. Pero es un área profundamente desigual para las mujeres. La disparidad comienza en la infancia—a las niñas les regalan una cocinita y a los niños, videojuegos—y continúa durante la escolarización, la formación profesional, la capacitación, en el ambiente laboral o cuando deciden emprender. Chicas en Tecnología® es una invitación a reiniciar el sistema, a que las mujeres consideren a la tecnología como una aliada para mejorar el mundo.

Pilgrimage is a sacred tradition that has existed around the world for centuries. Every year, more than 100 million devotees from different cultures and faiths embark on journeys to such holy sites as Santiago de Compostela, Mecca, and Banaras. For some, making a pilgrimage is a spiritual act, while for others it is a secular experience of personal restoration. And yet there has never existed a tradition of pilgrimage within the US. Cultural geographer James E. Mills makes a compelling case for the creation of a network of American pilgrimage routes to heal societal divisions....

American consumers demand choice. The assortment of products in American stores is beyond belief to anyone from the Third World. So why are only two choices for anything political acceptable to Americans? It seems totally illogical. It reminds me of the illogical change in behavior of an addict. These are people who are normal in seemingly every way yet give up everything and everyone in their lives for a drug which is a short-term high, and self-destructive. How can that be? Research has convinced me it's more than coincidence.
