Through a rich discussion of literature and case studies, he shows that there are compelling reasons to think that the police's widespread use of proactive deception and dishonesty is inconsistent with fundamental norms of political morality—especially norms regarding fraud and the rule of law. Although there are times and places for dishonesty and deception in policing, Hunt evocatively illustrates why those times and places should be much more limited than current practices suggest.

Self-Reliance is an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, a prominent American philosopher and essayist from the 19th century. Published in 1841, the essay explores the concept of individualism and the importance of trusting one's own instincts and beliefs. Emerson advocates for the rejection of conformity and societal expectations, encouraging readers to rely on their own intuition and inner convictions. The essay is a powerful call to embrace self-reliance as a means of personal growth and fulfillment, promoting the idea that true wisdom arises from individual experience and authenticity.

For over 240 years, for the most part, the American people have enjoyed a certain amount of civility and prosperity in a free society. There is an operation underway to deliberately throw the United States and the nations of the world off the rails spiritually to cause the chaos the world is experiencing today. Why? To usher in a new age of globalism, complete control over everyone and everything, by just a few at the top. This is just the physical manifestation of an underlying spiritual war.

Forget Every "Black" book you ever read or listened to; this Book is NOT "your black" book! This is the story of a first time author, who calls himself "Uncle Meshorn", as he debunks every label by which "uncle sam" has branded him with, including "uncle tom." If MeShorn is NOT "your black", America, then who is he? As soon as you think you can "box" MeShorn into "one of yours", you will have to embarrassingly pull him out, as you read the next chapter! Yet, this book is not just about who he is, rather who you are.

Our education is concerned with the accumulation of knowledge. Very few of us are capable of living a life without the influence of specialists. What is the point of going to a university, getting a degree and disappearing into the vast structure of society? Q: How shall we approach the idea of study? If you express from something already accumulated it is a deadly bore, but if you are all the time watching, not only yourself but the world, you are learning.

Jean-Claude Michéa a choisi en 2016 de s'installer dans un petit village des Landes, pour rompre avec le style de vie des grandes métropoles et sa logique du "toujours plus". C'est donc à partir de cette expérience de la "France périphérique" qu'il a mûri ce nouvel essai, qui nous offre une réflexion critique extrêmement originale et stimulante sur nos sociétés dites "progressistes". Il s'y emploie à mettre au jour les conséquences ultimes du mode de développement capitaliste et libéral, qui revêt de façon de plus en plus évidente la forme d'une fuite en avant suicidaire dans tous les domaines.

This book is a collection of Hindi poetries, songs, Shayari, ghazals, and nazams, one may classify as wish but actually these are the words that are able to conclude half of their journey from author's heart to paper, and now it's time to conclude the remaining half, from this audiobook to your heart.

Questo libro parte da un’idea: che la nonviolenza sia efficace e, comunque, necessaria. Ma soprattutto che sia una pratica attualissima. Un rifiuto attivo, che si realizza in una proposta filosofica e soprattutto pratica. Questo approccio ottimistico ma concreto alla realtà è in grado di sostenere una rivoluzione permanente: non solo nel rifiuto (della guerra, dell’autoritarismo, della violenza), ma nella ri-evoluzione della società, mezzo per l’affermazione dei diritti, la trasformazione dei rapporti, la distribuzione del potere di tutti.

«È questo il modo in cui finisce il mondo. Non con uno schianto ma con un lamento.» Quello che Antonio Scurati compie in queste pagine è un grande viaggio d’autore nella crisi italiana che la pandemia ha trasformato in dramma. Un percorso attraverso i commenti scritti in questi ultimi anni che svela il rischio del populismo e di un ritorno al fascismo, la condanna dei pochi nuovi figli e l’assenza di un deciso investimento nell’istruzione e nel futuro dei giovani.

« Il est bien tard pour passer à l’action. Mais supposons qu’il nous reste dix années pour enfin affronter le monde tel qu’il est devenu, à savoir de moins en moins favorable à nos existences, et à celles des autres êtres vivants. Dix ans pour un virage politique très serré. Dix ans pour nous débarrasser de nos lubies productivistes et consuméristes. Dix ans pour apprendre à régénérer une nature en voie de destruction accélérée.»

Every week, political pundits publish books promoting one side (the pundit’s) as good, and the other side as evil. Whether the pundit promotes a liberal or conservative view, the book convinces zealots, and annoys everyone else. For the rest of us, we see and feel the problem. Psychologists teach us why and how the problem exists. Politicians leverage the problem to gain personal political advantage.

Deus existe? Dentre todas as perguntas que permeiam a existência humana, definitivamente a questão sobre a existência de Deus tem sido uma das mais debatidas na história.

Als die öffentlichen Zustände sich so verschlimmerten, dass keine Aussicht auf Herstellung der Ordnung mehr vorhanden war, soll Laotse sich zurückgezogen haben. Als er an den Grenzpass Han Gu gekommen sei, habe ihm der Grenzbeamte Yin Hi gebeten, ihm etwas Schriftliches zu hinterlassen. Darauf habe er den Toateking, bestehend aus mehr als 5000 chinesischen Zeichen, niedergeschrieben und ihm übergeben. Dann sei er nach Westen gegangen, kein Mensch weiß wohin. ...

Denostado, incomprendido, relegado durante siglos al olvido, Epicuro propuso con su filosofía un camino para alcanzar algo tan esquivo para sus contemporá- neos como lo sigue siendo para nosotros: la felicidad. Y lo hizo de una forma simple y coherente, alejándose a un tiempo de la búsqueda incesante del placer—empresa vana, con la que no logramos sino acrecentar más y más nuestros deseos—y del ascetismo extremo propio de doctrinas rígidas como el estoicismo.
