The Collected Works of Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant

Tradutor J. H. Bernard, T. K. Abbott, J. M. D. Meiklejohn

Sinopse

The Collected Works of Immanuel Kant presents a comprehensive anthology of Kant's groundbreaking philosophical oeuvre, encompassing critical contributions to metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics. With a unique blend of dense rational argumentation and profound insights into human nature, Kant challenges readers to navigate the complexities of morality and the limits of human understanding. His categorical imperative and the notion of the 'thing-in-itself' form pivotal elements of his thought, reflecting the Enlightenment's quest for knowledge while simultaneously acknowledging the inherent constraints of reason. Written in the characteristic style of the German Idealist movement, these works invite rigorous engagement and reflection. Immanuel Kant, a central figure in the history of Western philosophy, was born in 1724 in Königsberg, Prussia. His intellectual endeavors were shaped by the tumultuous context of the Enlightenment, where he sought to reconcile empirical knowledge with rationalist traditions. His lifelong dedication to philosophy and the systematic exploration of metaphysical issues directly influenced his writings, leading him to articulate a moral framework that has enduring relevance. This collection is an essential resource for anyone seeking to delve into Kantian thought, offering invaluable insights into questions of morality, epistemology, and human autonomy. Its rich content is a must-read for philosophers, students, and general readers eager to explore the profound implications of Kant's ideas in contemporary discourse.

I Dream with Open Eyes - A Memoir

George Prochnik

Whatever the ideological slant of our information feeds, nowadays we all share a sense of binge-watching the apocalypse. Facing so much uncertainty, we need a language for thinking about the unknown not simply as a threat but also as a space of fertile possibility. George Prochnik has chosen to reflect on these urgent themes through the lens of a personal narrative: an account of his own family's decision to leave the United States. 
 
 
 
I Dream with Open Eyes begins with an exploration of Prochnik's ancestral past: the pilgrimage of his mother's family, who were among the first English settlers in the New World. In the aftermath of the 2016 election, a parallel migration unfolds as Prochnik, along with his wife and their son, makes the decision to uproot their lives in New York to move to England. 
 
 
 
A deep critique of this current moment, Prochnik takes the words of nineteenth-century poet Heinrich Heine, "I dream with open eyes, and my eyes see," as an inspiration to ask how, as a society, we might use art and literature to refract and expand our vision of the future, while simultaneously generating a new focus on present realities.

Overreach: The Inside Story of...

Owen Matthews

Winner of the Pushkin House Book Prize 2023
*A Telegraph Book of the Year*
A Times Best Book of Summer 2023
*Shortlisted for the Parliamentary Book Awards*
An astonishing investigation into the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war – from the corridors of the Kremlin to the trenches of Mariupol.
The Russo-Ukrainian War is the most serious geopolitical crisis since the Second World War – and yet at the heart of the conflict is a mystery. Vladimir Putin apparently lurched from a calculating, subtle master of opportunity to a reckless gambler, putting his regime – and Russia itself – at risk of destruction. Why?
Drawing on over 25 years’ experience as a correspondent in Moscow, as well as his own family ties to Russia and Ukraine, journalist Owen Matthews takes us through the poisoned historical roots of the conflict, into the Covid bubble where Putin conceived his invasion plans in a fog of paranoia about Western threats, and finally into the inner circle around Ukrainian president and unexpected war hero Volodimir Zelensky.
Using the accounts of current and former insiders from the Kremlin and its propaganda machine, the testimony of captured Russian soldiers and on-the-ground reporting from Russia and Ukraine, Overreach tells the story not only of the war’s causes but how the first six months unfolded.
With its panoramic view, Overreach is an authoritative, unmissable record of a conflict that shocked Europe to its core.
In Overreach, Owen Matthews masterfully unravels the complex tapestry of history, geopolitics, and conflicts that have defined the Soviet Union. This top-tier work is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the wars and crimes that have shaped our world.
For fans of Simon Scarrow (The Honour of Rome), Antony Beevor (Russia), Bill Browder (Orden de embargo. Una historia real de blanqueo de dinero, asesinatos y...), Mark Galeotti (Russia’s Wars in Chechnya), and Robert Peston (WTF?).

Global Burning - Rising...

Eve Darian-Smith

Recent years have seen out of control wildfires rage across remote Brazilian rainforests, densely populated California coastlines, and major cities in Australia. What connects these separate events is more than immediate devastation and human loss of life. In Global Burning, Eve Darian-Smith contends that using fire as a symbolic and literal thread connecting different places around the world allows us to better understand the parallel, and related, trends of the growth of authoritarian politics and climate crises and their interconnected global consequences. 
 
 
 
As political leaders and big business work together in the pursuit of profits and power, anti-environmentalism has become an essential political tool enabling the rise of extreme right governments and energizing their populist supporters. These are the governments that deny climate science, reject environmental protection laws, and foster exclusionary worldviews that exacerbate climate injustice. 
 
 
 
The widespread fires demand acknowledgment of the global systems of inequality that undergird them, connecting the political erosion of liberal democracy with the corrosion of the environment. In thinking through wildfires as environmental and political phenomenon, Global Burning challenges listeners to confront the interlocking powers that are ensuring our future ecological collapse.
