mais qui sait aussi prendre acte de l'humeur variable du jour, il accoste un instant. Il explore la voie du coeur, cette ligne de destin qu'on ne maîtrise qu'en se résignant à "lâcher prise", à se plier aux événements pour mieux en découvrir le sens et les dominer. Serein et encore prêt à poursuivre sa découverte, il parle à sa fille, mais aussi à tous ceux qui cherchent à dépasser l'immédiat." -- 4e de couvLa plus belle histoire du langage (La plus belle histoire ...)

propre de l'homme, une aptitude si naturelle que nous en oublions combien elle est exceptionnelle. Chaque être humain naît apte à parler, mais il lui faut pourtant apprendre à le faire. Quel bricolage de l'évolution a conduit, un jour, dans la nuit des temps, à l'apparition du langage ? Comment s'exprimaient nos ancêtres ? Y avait-il autrefois une langue unique, universelle ? Pourquoi les langues se sont-elles ensuite diversifiées sur la planète ? Comment, éternel prodige, chaque bébé humain ré-apprend-il à parler, comment reconnaît-il les mots, que se passe-t-il dans son cerveau ? [...] Trois grands chercheurs et conteurs se passent ici le relais pour raconter, dans un dialogue accessible à tous, l'une des plus belles de nos histoires, sans doute la plus singulière.

The digital republic: on freedom and democracy in the 21st century
Par Jamie Susskind. 2022
"Not long ago, the tech industry was widely admired, and the internet was regarded as a tonic for freedom and…
democracy. Not anymore. Every day, the headlines blaze with reports of racist algorithms, data leaks, and social media platforms festering with falsehood and hate. In The Digital Republic, acclaimed author Jamie Susskind argues that these problems are not the fault of a few bad apples at the top of the industry. They are the result of our failure to govern technology properly. The Digital Republic charts a new course. It offers a plan for the digital age: new legal standards, new public bodies and institutions, new duties on platforms, new rights and regulators, new codes of conduct for people in the tech industry. Inspired by the great political essays of the past, and steeped in the traditions of republican thought, it offers a vision of a different type of society: a digital republic in which human and technological flourishing go hand in hand." -- Provided by publisherIluminando: al compás del silencio

Self. Between stories, inspiring reflections and revelations, we are immersed in a sea of possibilities for our evolution and freedom as people, as Souls. This interesting and unique compilation of ideas, narratives and affirmations takes us down shadowy paths, where we are encouraged to confront the learned and the intuitive, to visit ourselves without being sly. Luis Felipe, anxious to "see" new seeds germinate on the fertile surface of the conscience of all those who are not afraid to evolve, offers us several paths. His firm, palpable push invites us to explore with curiosity an infinite and permanent reality. A provocative invitation to enjoy his astonishing worldview and life perspective." -- Translation provided by NLSUn seguidor de Montaigne mira La Habana (Archipiélago Caribe #04)

chronicle, essay and poetry, a mixture of autobiography and fiction, in which the narrator, writer and flâneur, wonders about cities of origin and imagines his own origin. He envelops us in the traces of a flaky, multiple and varied city, made of diverse and dissimilar layers, real, literary or fantastic, located already in the past, already in the present, utopian and counter-utopian, in which the journey through the city is also a journey through the universe." -- Translation provided by NLSHow Proust can change your life

Par Eduardo Lalo. 2019
"In |The Invisible Countries|, Eduardo Lalo undertakes a narrative and philosophical journey through Europe. With a hybrid discourse that nimbly…
accommodates the travel diary, the chronicle and the philosophical essay, the author develops an ex-centric vision that, far from the cliché of Third World victimization, undertakes a conceptual counter-conquest of the West. Thus, 'writing from invisibility', writing from the dark side of geography enhances a unique vision of the West, that Other whose myopia prevents it from recognizing 'the fiction of its invention, its laws and its grandiloquence'. In this text, the author forges new discursive possibilities for the inhabitants of 'peripheral' geographies to assume their cultural destiny freed from the gazes that often deform or deny them." -- Translation provided by NLSDieu ne joue pas aux dés

questions age raises and the promises it holds. "Old," he writes, "is just another word for nothing left to lose, a time to dive deep into life, not withdraw to the shallows." But this book is not for elders only. It was written to encourage adults of all ages to explore the way their lives are unfolding. It's not a how-to-do-it book on aging, but a set of meditations in prose and poetry that turn the prism on the meaning(s) of one's life, refracting new light at every turn.

Conservatism: a rediscovery
Par Yoram Hazony. 2022
"The idea that American conservatism is identical to "classical" liberalism-widely held since the 1960s-is seriously mistaken. The award-winning political theorist…
Yoram Hazony argues that the best hope for Western democracy is a return to the empiricist, religious, and nationalist traditions of America and Britain-the conservative traditions that brought greatness to the English-speaking nations and became the model for national freedom for the entire world. |Conservatism: A Rediscovery| explains how Anglo-American conservatism became a distinctive alternative to divine-right monarchy, Puritan theocracy, and liberal revolution. After tracing the tradition from the Wars of the Roses to Burke and across the Atlantic to the American Federalists and Lincoln, Hazony describes the rise and fall of Enlightenment liberalism after World War II and the present-day debates between neoconservatives and national conservatives over how to respond to liberalism and the woke left. Going where no political thinker has gone in decades, Hazony provides a fresh theoretical foundation for conservatism. Rejecting the liberalism of Hayek, Strauss, and the "fusionists" of the 1960s, and drawing on decades of personal experience in the conservative movement, he argues that a revival of authentic Anglo-American conservatism is possible in the twenty-first century." -- Provided by publisher
