An expansive and accessible account of anarchism as a theory of practice. Means and Ends is a new overview of the revolutionary strategy of anarchism in Europe and the United States between 1868 and 1939. Zoe Baker clearly and accessibly explains the ideas that historical anarchists developed in order to change the world. This includes their views on direct action, revolution, organization, state socialism, reforms, and trade unions. Throughout, she demonstrates that the reasons anarchists gave for supporting or opposing particular strategies were grounded in a theoretical framework—a theory of practice—which maintained that, as people engage in activity, they simultaneously change the world and themselves. This theoretical framework was the foundation for the anarchist commitment to the unity of means and ends: the means that revolutionaries propose to achieve social change have to involve forms of activity which transform people into individuals who are capable of, and driven to, both overthrow capitalism and the state and build a free society. The consistent heart of anarchism was the idea that anarchist ends can only be achieved through anarchist means. Cutting through misconceptions and historical inaccuracies, Baker draws upon a vast assortment of examples to show how this simple premise underpinned anarchist attempts to put theory into action.Zum Buch

Mythical creatures have captivated human imagination for centuries, appearing in folklore, religious texts, and even historical records. These legendary beasts serve as more than just entertaining stories—they reflect cultural values, fears, and the mysteries of the unknown. Across different civilizations, mythical beings have played vital roles in shaping traditions, inspiring art, and even influencing belief systems. From fire-breathing dragons to elusive lake monsters, these creatures continue to spark curiosity and debate. But what is it about these beings that makes them so enduring? One reason for their lasting appeal is their connection to human experiences. Many mythical creatures represent forces of nature, embodying storms, oceans, or the deep forests where the unknown lurks. Others symbolize human emotions or moral lessons—such as the cunning trickster fox in Japanese folklore or the powerful yet wise dragon in Chinese mythology. Whether feared, worshipped, or admired, these creatures often serve as cautionary tales or representations of humanity’s struggle with the world around them. Common themes emerge across different cultures, even in societies that had no contact with each other. Dragons, for instance, appear in both European and Asian folklore, though their interpretations differ. While European dragons are often portrayed as greedy, fire-breathing monsters to be slain by heroes, their Chinese counterparts are wise and benevolent, associated with strength and good fortune. Likewise, stories of water-dwelling serpents and half-human beings exist in legends from Scandinavia to South America, suggesting that the human mind is naturally drawn to certain archetypes.Zum Buch

This is the book for you. Being Really Confused is the hilariously brutal, no-holds-barred, sarcasm-soaked guide to Martin Heidegger’s philosophical fever dream.

Inside, you'll find: What “Dasein” actually means (spoiler: it’s just you, but anxious) How to ruin conversations with phrases like “Being-toward-death” Why “the they” is probably responsible for your haircut And how to survive Being and Time without filing a lawsuit against your own brain Equal parts roast and revelation, this book doesn’t just explain Heidegger—it drags him, hugs him, then drags him again. Read it if: You want to laugh at existential dread You love philosophy but hate suffering You’ve been pretending to understand Heidegger and want to finally maybe mean it Warning: May cause spontaneous existential crises, unbearable smugness, and the urge to buy a black turtleneck.Zum Buch
