Sinopse

In "The Greatest Works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau," readers are invited into the intricate tapestry of Rousseau's thoughts that shaped modern philosophy and political theory. This anthology showcases his seminal writings, including "The Social Contract" and "Confessions," characterized by a lyrical prose style that intertwines personal narrative with profound philosophical inquiry. Rousseau's exploration of human nature and society remains crucial within the Enlightenment context, challenging the foundations of authority and promoting the ideals of democracy and individual freedom. His emphasis on the innate goodness of man, corrupted by civilization, is both a critique and reflection of the societies of his time. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) was a pivotal figure of the Enlightenment, whose tumultuous life experiences, from orphanhood to political involvement in revolutionary France, informed his philosophy. His background as a writer and composer, along with his radical ideas about education and governance, led him to synthesize personal and political pursuits, giving birth to concepts that would influence future generations, including the likes of Marx and Kant. Rousseau'Äôs struggles against societal norms amplified his desire to provoke critical thought about the individual's role in society. This compendium is essential reading for those seeking to understand the evolution of modern thought, offering profound insights into the nature of freedom, equality, and the social contract. Rousseau's passionate prose resonates with contemporary issues, making this collection not only a historical document but also a commentary on current societal challenges. Dive into Rousseau's greatest works to experience the power of his ideas and their remarkable relevance today.

    The United States has become an almost unrecognizable country—with millions in thrall to conspiracy theories, toxic populism, and the far right edging closer to total power—a dire threat to civil society and democratic institutions. While the MAGA movement was in remission due to Donald Trump's defeat in 2020, the fascist fringes have not just survived but have continued to thrive and burrow into the mainstream. The January 6th Capitol Riot prosecutions have done little to curb their enthusiasm for mayhem. 
     
     
     
    Trump's base in the Republican Party is committed to their candidate like never before. The institutionalization of racist voter suppression and the outdated logic behind the Electoral College means he could take back the White House. Apocalyptic messaging ensures the alt-right, anti-government, anti-LGBT, and white nationalist groups see the next election as a life-or-death struggle and are uniting to back the one person they can all agree on—guaranteeing another chaotic election. 
     
     
     
    In this chilling exposé, Wendling encounters Capital rioters, Covid deniers, QAnon supporters, and Proud Boys and uncovers the roots of a movement that threatens to shatter the foundations of democracy.

    For nearly a thousand years following its foundation, there was only one Christian Church. Centered in the city of Rome, the Church expanded and grew until it became the dominant religion in Europe and beyond. The early growth of the Church had been suppressed by the Romans until the Emperor Constantine became the first to convert the empire to Christianity, and from that point forward, the growth of the Church was inextricably linked with the Roman Empire, the most powerful military, economic, and political force in the ancient world. 
    However, once the Western Roman Empire collapsed, Rome’s preeminence was not a situation that was welcomed in Constantinople, now the center of the Byzantine Empire and a thriving and wealthy metropolis. After being sacked by outsiders, Rome had become a virtual ghost town, partially ruined and inhabited by a small number of hardy survivors, yet in the center of the crumbling city was the Vatican Borgo, the Palace of the Supreme Pontiff and the heart of the Church. In retrospect, it is easy to see that this was a situation that was bound to lead to conflict and disagreement, with the Greek-speaking Eastern Orthodox Church centered in Constantinople and being governed by Latin-speaking popes in a faraway city. 
    To many, the pope is the embodiment of godly love in its purest form. No matter the weather or the inconvenience, millions upon millions of fervid devotees brave the congested streets of their cities, all for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to welcome the beloved Vicar of Christ. However, the modern perception of the pope is a far cry from how things were just a couple of centuries ago. There was a time when the holiest men of the world were constantly at each other's throats, willing to go to any lengths to secure the coveted papal title. By the late 14th century, tensions within the Church reached its breaking point, resulting in the Western Schism, an infamous split of the Catholic Church.
