Beschreibung

Notes on Democracy is a critique of democracy. The book places political leaders into two categories: the demagogue, who "preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots" and the demaslave, "who listens to what these idiots have to say and then pretends that he believes it himself." Mencken depicts politicians as "men who have sold their honor for their jobs."

    Two pioneering researchers identify key causes of workplace burnout and reveal what managers can do to promote increased productivity and health. 
     
     
     
    Citing a wealth of research data and drawing on illustrative anecdotes, The Burnout Challenge shows how organizations can change to promote sustainable productivity. Christina Maslach and Michael P. Leiter provide useful tools for identifying the signs of employee burnout, most often exhaustion, cynicism, and ineffectiveness. They also advise managers on assembling and interpreting worker self-evaluation surveys, which can reveal workplace problems and potential solutions. And when it comes to implementing change, Maslach and Leiter offer practical, evidence-driven guidance. The key, they argue, is to begin with less-taxing changes that employees nonetheless find meaningful, seeding the ground for more thorough reforms in the future. 
     
     
     
    Experts estimate that more than $500 billion and 550 million workhours are lost annually to on-the-job stress, much of it caused by dysfunctional work environments. As priorities and policies shift across workplaces, The Burnout Challenge provides pragmatic, creative, and cost-effective solutions to improve employee efficiency, health, and happiness.

    The Engines of Evil is an intelligent and comprehensive exploration of the Waffen SS's pivotal role in World War II and the Holocaust. It sheds light on how this formidable military organization not only fought battles on the front lines but also became the vanguard of Nazi terror and genocide. 
    Key Features of the Book:In-Depth Analysis: The book provides a thorough examination of the Waffen SS's evolution from Hitler's elite personal guard to a multifaceted force intricately involved in Nazi atrocities.Ideological Insights: It explores the National Socialist ideology that fueled the SS's actions and justified its atrocities, offering a deep dive into the mindset that enabled ordinary men to commit extraordinary crimes.Mechanisms of Genocide: The book meticulously details the operational and bureaucratic systems that facilitated the Holocaust and other genocidal acts, exposing the cold efficiency with which these atrocities were carried out.Personal Narratives: Through firsthand accounts and historical records, the experiences of both perpetrators and victims are brought to life, providing a human dimension to the historical narrative.Broader Context: The work places the Holocaust within the wider spectrum of Nazi genocidal policies, including the conquest and racial reshaping of Eastern Europe. 
    Understanding the origins and execution of the Holocaust and Nazi genocide is crucial for preventing future atrocities. The Engines of Evil provides a critical and timely examination of the forces that led to one of the darkest chapters in human history. It serves as a stark reminder of the capacity for evil that exists within society and the importance of maintaining vigilance against the ideologies and systems that foster hatred and violence. 
    We invite you to read The Engines of Evil and join the ongoing conversation about the lessons of the past and the path to a more just and humane future.

    A BOOK DEDICATED TO HOPE Humanity is at a crossroads between self-destruction and change. Are you negative and pessimistic? Do you feel uneasy about the future? Are you unhappy because of your daily problems, not to mention wars, crises and pollution? I will give you many reasons to become positive, peaceful and able to achieve peace beyond imagination! I will take you on a fantastic journey into your own mind, to go beyond it. In fact, the ordinary mind thinks it can change things, but it cannot. That is why we never solve our own problems and those of the planet. But how do we go beyond the mind to generate real change? Meditation is the main tool to change ourselves and the world around us. We can stop wars, we can stop crime, there is no limit to what we can do. The Maharishi effect, which has been scientifically studied many times, shows that with the power of our intention and meditation, we can actually do something in terrible situations, such as armed conflicts, violence, and crime. And if it works for the most extreme cases, this means that even in less tragic situations, such as our daily lives, we have a much greater margin of intervention in events close to us than we are used to believing. A limited number of street lamps are needed to illuminate the streets of an entire city, just as 1% of the population of a city, of a nation, or of the entire planet, who are able to reach a state of deep meditation, are enough to bring light and remove the darkness from consciousness. A small group of awakened people are enough to irradiate and enlighten all other people, who will unconsciously change their way of thinking and acting. Does all this sound like science fiction, too good to be true? Whether you believe you can or believe you can`t, you are still right. Since the Universe is subjective, our way of believing the world, our beliefs, becomes our reality. What we are and what we think spreads and reflects throughout the Universe.

    Hegel's Theory of Intelligibility

    Hegel’s Theory of Intelligibility picks up on recent revisionist readings of Hegel to offer a productive new interpretation of his notoriously difficult work, the Science of Logic. Rocío Zambrana transforms the revisionist tradition by distilling the theory of normativity that Hegel elaborates in the Science of Logic within the context of his signature treatment of negativity, unveiling how both features of his system of thought operate on his theory of intelligibility.              Zambrana clarifies crucial features of Hegel’s theory of normativity previously thought to be absent from the argument of the Science of Logic—what she calls normative precariousness and normative ambivalence. She shows that Hegel’s theory of determinacy views intelligibility as both precarious, the result of practices and institutions that gain and lose authority throughout history, and ambivalent, accommodating opposite meanings and valences even when enjoying normative authority. In this way, Zambrana shows that the Science of Logic provides the philosophical justification for the necessary historicity of intelligibility. Intervening in several recent developments in the study of Kant, Hegel, and German Idealism more broadly, this book provides a productive new understanding of the value of Hegel’s systematic ambitions.
