Sinopse

In "The Crime of the Congo," Arthur Conan Doyle presents a powerful and impassioned critique of the brutal exploitation and atrocities perpetrated during King Leopold II's rule over the Congo Free State. Employing a journalistic style infused with a moral urgency, Doyle blends vivid narrative with meticulous documentation, allowing readers to grasp the chilling reality of colonial violence. The book emerges in the context of early 20th-century imperialism and humanitarian movements, urging global awareness and accountability for the Congo's plight. Doyle's compelling arguments highlight the intersection of ethics and empire, making a significant literary contribution to the ongoing discourse surrounding colonialism and human rights. Arthur Conan Doyle, best known for his creation of Sherlock Holmes, was a man of diverse interests and deep humanitarian convictions. His exposure to the struggles of the Congolese people arose from a growing concern regarding moral responsibility and social justice. Witnessing the impact of imperialism, Doyle felt compelled to leverage his platform as a prominent author to shine a light on the suffering inflicted upon innocent populations, showcasing his evolution from a writer of fiction to one of a social commentator. For readers interested in historical injustices, colonial criticism, or the role of literature in advocacy, "The Crime of the Congo" is an essential read. This book not only chronicles a dark chapter in history but also serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring human spirit and the necessity for accountability. Doyle's incisive critique resonates profoundly in contemporary discussions on ethical governance and global responsibility.

This insightful book explores the psychological foundations of morality, revealing how our values, intuitions, and group loyalties shape our political beliefs. Drawing from psychology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology, the book argues that moral reasoning is driven more by intuition than by logic, and it challenges readers to understand—and even empathize with—opposing viewpoints.

    A contemporary look at Albert Einstein's classic call for socialism 
     
     
     
    First published more than seventy-five years ago in the inaugural issue of Monthly Review: An Independent Socialist Magazine, Albert Einstein's "Why Socialism?" is an unheralded classic. Written during the McCarthyite witch-hunt in the United States, it constituted an act of defiance, making a case for socialism unrivaled in its time or ours. Yet, its very existence has been an embarrassment to an establishment which has continually sought to downplay the significance of his iconoclastic essay, together with Einstein's socialism itself. 
     
     
     
    This volume includes Einstein's essay along with a detailed commentary on his essay by Monthly Review editor, John Bellamy Foster. Foster's introduction tells the story of Einstein's life-long commitment to socialism and the events leading to the publication of "Why Socialism?" and contextualizes the importance of his essay as we enter a time of planetary crisis and new threats of world war. Over the three-quarters of century since its publication, "Why Socialism?" is one of those rare statements whose power has only grown, reaching untold numbers of readers over the years. It is of crucial importance that―for the sake of the future of humanity―Einstein's message continues to proliferate.
