In contrast to skepticism, common sense is a body of beliefs and practices that are widely held to be true and reliable. Pasquale De Marco explores the role of common sense in knowledge, examining how it shapes our understanding of the world and our interactions with others. Pasquale De Marco also considers the limits of common sense, recognizing that it can sometimes lead us astray.

The book then examines the role of science in knowledge, exploring the methods of science, including observation, experimentation, and hypothesis testing. Pasquale De Marco also considers the ways in which science has revolutionized our understanding of the world, and the limits of science, recognizing that there are some things that science may never be able to explain.

Finally, the book explores the relationship between knowledge and the good life. Pasquale De Marco considers the role of knowledge in achieving happiness, fulfillment, and meaning. Pasquale De Marco also considers the limits of knowledge, recognizing that there are some things that we may never be able to know.

‘An important book, especially now’ Lee Child
‘Espionage, betrayal, terrorism, corruption and murder. All the ingredients of a Le Carré novel, only it’s real’ Matthew Hall
‘A powerful and timely account’ John Sutherland
On 17 April 1984, as demonstrators gathered outside the Libyan embassy in London, two gunmen lay in wait inside. At 10.18 a.m. automatic gunfire rained down on the protestors and WPC Yvonne Fletcher fell, mortally wounded.
As his friend lay dying, PC John Murray made her a promise that he would not rest until those responsible had been brought to justice. Thirty-seven years would pass before he was able to fulfil that undertaking.
While researching this moving account of one man’s dogged pursuit of justice for a murdered colleague, Matt Johnson uncovered secret-service deals and government duplicity, all part of a plan to force an end to the National Union of Mineworkers’ strike. He discovered the real reason Yvonne’s killers were allowed to go free and how events that day led to thirty years of growing political control of policing, resulting in the disarray increasingly evident today.
This compelling account pulls seemingly unconnected threads into a coherent – and shocking – whole. It provides startling insights into how decisions taken by our politicians and the actions of our intelligence agencies, supposedly in our best interests, may be anything but.

The Subversive Seventies

Michael Hardt

In The Subversive Seventies, Michael Hardt sets out to show that popular understandings of the political movements of the seventies—often seen as fractious, violent, and largely unsuccessful—are not just inaccurate, but foreclose valuable lessons for the political struggles of today. While many accounts of the 1970s have been written about the regimes of domination that emerged throughout the decade, Hardt approaches the subversive from the perspectives of those who sought to undermine the base of established authority and transform the fundamental structures of society. In so doing, he provides a novel account of the theoretical and practical projects of liberation that still speak to us today, too many of which have been all but forgotten. 
 
 
 
The movements of the seventies responded directly to emerging neoliberal frameworks and other structures of power that continue to rule over us today. They identified and confronted political problems that remain central for us. The 1970s, in this sense, marks the beginning of our time. Looking at a wide range of movements around the globe, from the United States, to Guinea Bissau, South Korea, Chile, Turkey, and Italy, The Subversive Seventies provides a reassessment of the political action of the 1970s that sheds new light not only on our revolutionary past but also on what liberation can be and do today.
