One big question. Two great answers.
2024 || Hardcover || Charlotte Lydia Riley e.a. || Bodley Head
One big question. Two great answers. In Is Free Speech Under Threat? two leading thinkers tackle the issue at the very heart of the culture wars.
Suzanne Nossel (CEO of PEN America) puts the case that even though there is an important rebalancing of power taking place in society today, rightly giving minority voices the space and prominence they have long been owed, even so the uncompromising intolerance of a left-leaning minority crosses the threshold of an important principle on which free ...
The Internal Black Star
The Complete Philosophy
2022 || Hardcover || Ewell Juliana || Brave New Books
Dear Explorers,
Obstacles, complex conditions, and the behaviour of inadequacy will prevail. Perhaps we may suggest that there are enormous and heavier forces that show in our routine activities, which we call >life.
Frequently, we neglect to seek ourselves, our own understanding, and value ourselves. It is nice to acknowledge that each expression educates another to illustrate themselves and to endure.
You and I can get substantially better by making significant steps and creating an enjoyab...

justice in an Unjust World
2024 || Hardcover || Ryan Holiday || Portfolio USA

Intelligence or Chaos
the Atheist Delusion - The scientific proof and rational conclusion that intelligence and not chaos is the driving force behind the universe
2023 || Hardcover || Henk J. Keilman || Ahimsa Publications, UK
Intelligence or Chaos is a direct attack on atheism, based on new scientific facts and insights in the field of physics and cosmology that are revolutionary. These new facts have emerged over the last 30 years and have demonstrated that the universe is driven by information and intelligence, and not by randomness and chaos. In particular the fine-tuning of the cosmological constants in the universe, such as gravity, electromagnetism and the nuclear forces, have mystified scientists and philo...
