Sinossi

"Mock Debate" explores the fascinating intersection of humor and politics, revealing how structured mockery can significantly influence political discourse. It argues that comedic interventions serve as potent tools for social commentary, challenging conventional views of political engagement. The book highlights that effective political humor isn't just about getting laughs; it's about exposing hypocrisy and prompting audiences to question their own beliefs. Did you know humor theories help us understand why certain jokes resonate while others don't?

 
The book progresses from introducing humor theory and its application to political contexts, to providing a historical overview of satire. Subsequent chapters analyze specific techniques like parody and irony, and examine the ethical considerations of political humor, including the potential for harm. Through rhetorical analysis and case studies, the book demonstrates how structured mockery, when employed thoughtfully, can foster critical engagement with political ideas, and even shape election cycles.

 
What sets "Mock Debate" apart is its focus on the structure of mockery, analyzing the underlying rhetorical and psychological mechanisms that make it effective. This book provides a systematic framework for understanding and utilizing humor in political discourse, offering guidelines for responsible and ethical engagement. Ultimately, the book challenges us to reconsider the role of humor in shaping our world.

    The Dangerous Life and Ideas of...

    The ancient philosopher Diogenes—nicknamed "The Dog" and decried by Plato as a "Socrates gone mad"—was widely praised and idealized as much as he was mocked and vilified. A favorite subject of sculptors and painters since the Renaissance, his notoriety is equally due to his eccentric behavior, scorn of conventions, and biting aphorisms, and to the role he played in the creation of the Cynic school, which flourished from the 4th century B.C. to the Christian era. Jean-Manuel Roubineau paints a new portrait of an atypical philosopher whose life left an indelible mark on the Western collective imagination and whose philosophy courses through various schools of thought well beyond antiquity. 
     
     
     
    Roubineau sifts through the many legends and apocryphal stories that surround the life of Diogenes. Was he a counterfeiter? Did he meet Alexander the Great? Was he an apologist for incest, patricide, and anthropophagy? How did he actually die? Roubineau retraces the known facts of Diogenes' existence. 
     
     
     
    Beyond the rehashed clichés, this book inspires us to rediscover Diogenes' philosophical legacy—whether it be the challenge to the established order, the detachment from materialism, the choice of a return to nature, or the formulation of a cosmopolitan ideal strongly rooted in the belief that virtue is better revealed in action than in theory.

    One year after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the war has exacerbated the rift between Russia and the "collective West".
    While Western governments have been steadfast in punishing Russia for the invasion, other countries around the world have been more ambiguous, at times even choosing to side with Moscow politically or economically. These dynamics have revived the idea of a shift towards
    multipolarity along an anti-Western trajectory. Are we really heading in that direction? Are we facing increasing fragmentation due to the war or a re-consolidation of longstanding alliances? What principles underlie the formation of these blocs? What are the consequences of these dynamics for global security and the global economy?
    This Report aims to shed light on these questions, while also outlining the war's possible future implications for the Russian Federation, the "West", and the international order.

    "War and AI" tracks the lethal contradiction at the center of the AI boom: the same systems marketed as tools of progress are already being wired into kill chains, targeting systems, and automated decisions about who lives and who dies.
    
    From Gaza to Ukraine, machine vision, autonomous drones, and algorithmic targeting are no longer speculative. They are shaping real battlefields in real time, with civilians trapped inside the margin of error.
    
    This urgent new book maps the doctrine, supply chains, and moral collapse behind algorithmic warfare, arguing that the most dangerous lie of the AI age is the claim that we can build machines to save humanity without first teaching them how to kill.
