If you have spent any part of your life with a dog, you may have found certain questions popping, unbidden, into your mind: Is my dog living a fulfilled life? Is my dog a good dog? Does my dog love me? Addressing these questions compels you to confront not just your dog's life but yours as well—to think about what fulfillment, and meaning, in life really is. In The Word of Dog, philosopher Mark Rowlands explores these questions and suggests that in dogs we can see hints—faint, shrouded, but discernible—of what a better way of living might look like.

Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your home once, you’ll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever. The KonMari Method, with its revolutionary category-by-category system, leads to lasting results. In fact, none of Kondo’s clients have lapsed (and she still has a three-month waiting list).

The role of organized religion in our society is undergoing monumental changes. Church attendance is decreasing at unprecedented rates. At the same time, there is an increase in the number of people who identify as “spiritual but not religious.” Clearly, the need for religion remains as strong as ever, yet more and more, people are seeking spirituality elsewhere. Why? What accounts for these trends? Can organized religion still play a valuable role in today’s world?

Josh Spodek disconnected his Manhattan apartment from the electric grid in May 2022. He didn’t know how he’d last more than a day. He learned by doing, and he’s still going. He didn’t ask permission or wait for institutional aid, though he had practiced unplugging appliances and bought a used solar panel from Craigslist, hoping it would help. Then he simply flipped the circuit and solved challenges as they came. He soon found, to his surprise, his quality of life improving.

In 1943, Jean-Paul Sartre published his masterpiece, Being and Nothingness, and laid the foundation of his legacy as one of the greatest twentieth century philosophers. A brilliant and radical account of the human condition, Being and Nothingness explores what gives our lives significance. In a new and more accessible translation, this foundational text argues that we alone create our values and our existence is characterized by freedom and the inescapability of choice.

Today, human exceptionalism is the norm. Despite occasional nods to animal welfare, we prioritize humanity, often neglecting the welfare of a vast number of beings. As a result, we use hundreds of billions of vertebrates and trillions of invertebrates every year for a variety of purposes. We also plan to use animals, AI systems, and other nonhumans at even higher levels in the future. Yet as the dominant species, humanity has a responsibility to ask: Which nonhumans matter, how much do they matter, and what do we owe them in a world reshaped by human activity and technology?

Trump didn't just break America's political rules—he revealed them as illusions. This is an outsider's discovery of how an unlikely shaman transformed the world's most powerful nation. Trump follows ancient patterns of leadership that modern politics has forgotten. Through raw charisma and intuitive genius, he tapped into psychological forces that reshaped America's soul. This analysis reveals why millions found his message irresistible—and why his critics still don't understand what hit them.

Behind every market shift, technological breakthrough, and social movement lie invisible forces that shape our world with staggering power. These forces—network effects, power laws, emergence—create empires, transform societies, and determine who wins and who loses, yet remain invisible to most. By understanding these deeper patterns, we step through a one-way door into a radically expanded view of how reality actually works.

Pur rimanendo al di fuori del mondo accademico, Anthony de Jasay (1925-2019) è stato tra quegli studiosi che hanno messo il problema della politica al centro della propria riflessione filosofica in modo più originale. Arrivato a occuparsi di filosofia politica dopo una giovinezza trascorsa come ricercatore di economia e una maturità professionale da banchiere, quando nel 1985 compare per la prima volta sulla scena intellettuale il suo nome è sconosciuto ai più. Eppure, la sua opera d'esordio (Lo Stato) ebbe un effetto straniante sui pochi che, allora, la lessero.
