Apolitical, amoral, an aesthete whose writings point toward some form of liberation: this is the figure who emerges from most recent scholarship on Friedrich Nietzsche. The Nietzsche whom Fredrick Appel portrays is of an altogether different character, one whose philosophical position is inseparable from a deep commitment to a hierarchical politics. Nietzsche contra Democracy gives us a thinker who, disdainful of the "petty politics" of his time, attempts to lay the normative foundations for a modern political alternative to democracy. Appel shows how Nietzsche’s writings evoke the prosp

En un planeta en el que la especulacion y los flujos financieros lo inundan todo los paraisos fiscales se hallan a pleno rendimiento y el dinero criminal circula libremente algunos piensan que se puede vivir a costa de la muerte de millones de personas bien sea por hambre por falta de agua o por la violencia que desatan las grandes empresas del armamento y del petroleo. Tambien hay quien cree que el desarrollo de los paises ricos justifica la perdida de la biodiversidad y el calentamiento global que sufre la Tierra.

This original and challenging book presents a radical revision of traditional assessments of Hegel. Gillian Rose argues that the classical origins of contemporary non-Marxist and Marxist sociology rest on the -neo-Kantian’ paradigm and that Hegel’s thought anticipates and criticises the limitations of this pardaigm and the problems of methodologism and moralism in sociological method. Hegel’s major mature works are expounded in the light og his early radical writings. From this unusal perspective Dr Rose shows that Hegel’s speculative discourse is a powerful critique of

This book examines the Iran-Contra affair, the trials of Poindexter and North and the testimony of Ronald Reagan as a test-case of political morality. It draws out the implications of the statements of North and his secretary, Fawn Hall, who were so convinced of the moral rightness of their actions that they were prepared to break the law, lie and destroy vital evidence. It tries to ascertain what was going on in the minds of these people and especially in that of the President who claimed not to be cognizant of the actions of his subordinates.
