The Labyrinth of Democracy

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In this thought-provoking book, Pasquale De Marco delves into the dark side of democracy, exploring the ways in which it can lead to tyranny, injustice, and even totalitarianism. Drawing on historical examples and contemporary case studies, the author argues that democracy is not always the guarantor of freedom and prosperity that we often believe it to be.The book begins by examining the historical roots of totalitarianism, tracing its evolution from ancient Greece to the modern era. The author then explores the social, economic, and psychological conditions that give rise to totalitarianism, and examines the role of ideology in its development. Finally, the author considers the challenges that democracy faces in the 21st century, and discusses the ways in which we can strengthen democracy and prevent it from falling prey to totalitarianism.One of the most important contributions of this book is its analysis of the ways in which democracy can be subverted from within. The author shows how democratic institutions can be manipulated by demagogues and other authoritarian leaders to suppress dissent and consolidate power. The book also examines the role of propaganda and mass media in creating a climate of fear and conformity that can make it difficult for democracy to function properly.This book is a timely and important contribution to our understanding of democracy and its discontents. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the challenges facing democracy today and how we can overcome them.If you like this book, write a review!

Beyond Quantity - Research with...

Jens Schröter, Andreas Sudmann,...

How do artificial neural networks and other forms of artificial intelligence interfere with methods and practices in the sciences? Which interdisciplinary epistemological challenges arise when we think about the use of AI beyond its dependency on big data? Not only the natural sciences, but also the social sciences and the humanities seem to be increasingly affected by current approaches of subsymbolic AI, which master problems of quality (fuzziness, uncertainty) in a hitherto unknown way. But what are the conditions, implications, and effects of these (potential) epistemic transformations and how must research on AI be configured to address them adequately?

Instant Relief

Let’s face it, the world as it is today wasn’t designed for neurodivergent people!
This means that as a neurodivergent, you need tools to help you through the tough times as best as possible. One of the best ways to do this is by working within the framework of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, also known as DBT.
DBT skills are very handy and helpful, but here’s the rub, it’s not often that they’re taught in a way that helps people who are neurodivergent. This is why this workbook has been written. Unlike other books out there, you’ll find this one very practical, and at no point will you be left scratching your head about what to do or how to be better at dealing with life’s stressors. It is written and narrated in simple English, and everything you’ll learn is clearly and concisely stated. You’ll be able to pick up these skills easily, working at your own pace.
Here the most relevant themes covered:What is neurodivergence? A brief overview to help you understand better Are you neurodivergent? Self-evaluation test, positive sides, and success storiesDialectical Behavioral Therapy: the current gold standard of psychotherapyStrategies for stress, anger, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and intrusive thoughtsDaily plan for emotional well-being
This workbook isn’t written with the intent to change your personality at its core. It is meant to help you figure out your emotions and regulate them, so they don’t overwhelm you to a crippling point. The exercises here will help you learn healthy coping mechanisms for when you’re overwhelmed. They’ll help you get better at learning what you need, stating those needs clearly, and meeting them yourself when required.
