Coming Clean - The Rise of...

Eric Heinze

What has gone wrong with the left—and what leftists must do if they want to change politics, ethics, and minds. 
 
 
 
Leftists have long taught that people in the West must take responsibility for centuries of classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices. Of course, right-wingers constantly ridicule this claim for its "wokeness." 
 
 
 
In Coming Clean, Eric Heinzerejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about these bleak pasts, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century—Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea. 
 
 
 
Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that leftists have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of "hatred," and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground.

Leibniz’s Monads - Because...

Sophia Blackwell

Ever wondered what reality is made of? If you're thinking atoms, molecules, or maybe regret and caffeine, think again. According to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz—17th-century genius, calculus co-inventor, and metaphysical madlad—the universe is made of tiny, windowless soul-particles called monads. They don’t touch, don’t talk, and yet still manage to reflect the entire cosmos like cosmic disco balls of divine insight.
In Leibniz’s Monads: Because Particles with Feelings Totally Make Sense, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) returns with another brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, actually-informative tour through one of philosophy’s weirdest, most ambitious systems. From the problem of evil to quantum physics, ecology to ethics, this book unpacks Leibniz’s windowless wonders and shows how his soul-marbles still haunt modern science, spirituality, and your existential crisis at 2am.
Perfect for students, armchair philosophers, or anyone who wants to understand metaphysics without crying in German.
Inside, you’ll learn:
What monads are (and why they’re basically metaphysical Tamagotchis)
Why your soul is pre-synced with the universe like a divine group project
How this is somehow the best possible world (yes, even with all of… this)
What quantum physics, computer science, and modern consciousness studies owe to a guy who never left Leipzig
And why Leibniz remains philosophy’s most lovable, logic-obsessed optimist
If you like philosophy that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but still takes ideas seriously—this book is for you.
Warning: May cause sudden belief in soul-particles. Or at least very polite existential confusion.
