  What steps are needed to make life better and more convivial? The Second Convivialist Manifesto (2020) has presented a short diagnosis of the current crises and sketches of a possible and desirable future. It has been a necessary work of theoretical synthesis, but preserving a viable world also requires passion. It is thus urgent to show what people would gain from a shift to a post-neoliberal and post-growth convivialist future. This volume includes a theoretical debate on convivialism which reflects dystopias and shows the multiple and major obstacles that convivialism will have to face. Mainly, however, the contributors to this volume create sketches of a convivial future and collect accounts of another future world which is attractive for as many as possible.

  The Pax Romana - Peace and...

  The Pax Romana, meaning "Roman Peace," was a remarkable period of stability and prosperity that lasted for over two centuries. It began with the rise of Augustus, Rome’s first emperor, following the chaotic years of civil war that had plagued the late Republic. This era saw the establishment of a strong centralized government, economic growth, and the expansion of Rome’s influence across the Mediterranean and beyond. The foundations of this peace were carefully laid through political reforms, military strength, and a redefined vision of Roman leadership. 
  The aftermath of the civil wars that marked the late Republic left Rome in a state of disarray. The assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE triggered a power struggle, culminating in the final confrontation between Octavian—Caesar’s adopted heir—and Mark Antony. With his victory at the Battle of Actium in 31 BCE, Octavian secured his position as the dominant ruler of Rome. In 27 BCE, he formally accepted the title of Augustus from the Senate, marking the beginning of the imperial system. This transition ended the Republic but ushered in an era of stability that would define the next two centuries. 
  Augustus carefully crafted a government that appeared to preserve Republican traditions while consolidating power in his hands. By maintaining the illusion of senatorial authority, he avoided the fate of his great-uncle, Julius Caesar. However, his rule was firmly grounded in the principles of autocracy. He reorganized the military, ensuring its loyalty through direct financial incentives, and established a standing army with permanent stations along the empire’s borders. This professionalization of the military reduced internal conflicts and safeguarded the empire from external threats.

  Tremendous Trifles - "Perhaps...

  G K Chesterton

  A wonderful and whimsical collection of short essays on everything from sketching on brown paper and building toy theatres to the nature of Englishness and faith."Tremendous Trifles contains simply some of the best essays Chesterton ever wrote. They originally appeared in the Daily News, which Chesterton contributed to from 1901 to 1913, and which explains why people bought that paper. Which is an idea so large it spills over into another essay, “A Piece of Chalk.” Here Chesterton describes how he has set out to do some drawing with his chalks, but is distressed to find that he has forgotten his white chalk. White is essential. White is a color. It is not merely the absence of color. It is “a shining and affirmative thing…it draws stars.” As white is to art, so is virtue to religion. Virtue is a positive thing; not merely “the absence of dangers or the avoidance of moral dangers…Chastity does not mean abstention from sexual wrong; it means something flaming, like Joan of Arc.”In this book, Chesterton looks at the ordinary, common things and asks us to see how extraordinary and uncommon they are. The things in his pockets, the objects in a railway station, the people in the street. With these simple, random things he can defend Christianity, Western Civilization and Democracy. “Whatever is it that we are all looking for?” he asks at the beginning of an essay entitled “A Glimpse of My Country.” He suggests that what we are looking for lies very close; we just don’t manage to see it. It is a theme throughout the book, and throughout Chesterton’s writings that what appears to be a trifle is actually tremendous. In the title essay Chesterton crystallizes this truth in a perfect sentence that would go on to be inscribed on buildings and quoted by popes: “The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder.”-- Dale Ahlquist, lecture for Chesterton University
