50 Political Ideas You Really Need to Know

At a time of corrosive popular cynicism and profound international unease, the need for clarity over the fundamental concepts of politics has never been greater: the forces of Terrorism and Fundamentalism endanger our Security, while government responses to it pose a basic threat to Liberty, Democracy and Human rights. Corruption, Spin and a suspect Political culture arouse public indignation, which is further aggravated by an array of Pressure groups and the far-from-disinterested attentions of the Mass media.In 50 Political Ideas You Really Need to Know, Ben Dupré clears away the murk that obscures key concepts that we ignore at our peril.

Have you ever lain awake at night fretting over how we can be sure of the reality of the external world? Perhaps we are in fact disembodied brains, floating in vats at the whim of some deranged puppet-master? If so, you are not alone - and what's more, you are in exalted company. For this question and other ones like it have been the stuff of philosophical rumination from Plato to Popper. In a series of accessible and engagingly written essays, 50 Philosophy Ideas You Really Need to Know introduces and explains the problems of knowledge, consciousness, identity, ethics, belief, justice and aesthetics that have engaged the attention of thinkers from the era of the ancient Greeks to the present day.

In a series of 50 accessible and lucidly written essays, Ben Dupre probes some of the most significant ideas in politics, philosophy, religion, economics, science and the arts. Some of these are unimpeachable (liberty, reason); others mind numbing (The Big Bang chaos); a few mysterious (fate, surrealism) or downright despicable (fascism, racism). What they have in common is that they all matter and have left a deep impression on human civilization. The full sweep of such ideas – from the beautiful and the wondrous to the ugly and the debased – is covered in this volume.

Philosophy

Quercus Publishing

Con frecuencia se ha considerado a  la filosofia como  la disciplina academica por antonomasia, con sus practicantes firmemente enclaustrados en sus torres de marfil, al margen de los problemas de la vida real. Nada mas lejos de la realidad, el pensamiento filosofico se ocupa de los asuntos que importan. Para decidir que deberiamos hacer, en vez de que podemos hacer, tenemos que recurrir a la filosofia. Para aprender a vivir, para saber de justicia, de lenguaje, de estetica, de realidad e irrealidad, para gozar, para amar, tenemos que recurrir a la filosofia. En esta coleccion de 50 ensayos escritos de un modo tan accesible como lucido, Ben Dupre nos presenta y nos explica todos estos conceptos que han merecido la atencion de los pensadores, desde Antigua Grecia  hasta el presente.
