Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Twilight of the Demigods: A Cynic's Guide to Political Idolatry and Moral Freedom_\*\* is a philosophical political satire about the danger of surrendering conscience to leaders, parties, movements, institutions, screens, and crowds. The book begins with Diogenes entering an imagined courtroom at Nuremberg, lantern in hand, searching not only for monsters but for the ordinary human habits that make moral collapse possible. The courtroom becomes a symbolic trial of the 'worshiping citizen,' where modern characters are examined for the ways they excuse cruelty, hide behind rules, repeat slogans, follow crowds, and defend their own side too easily. Through seven ordinary figures - Frank, Laura, Maria, Evan, Judge Mercer, Pastor Hale, and Nina - the book shows how political worship can take many forms. Frank mistakes humiliation for strength. Laura lets compassion drift toward control. Maria hides behind procedure. Evan becomes addicted to outrage. Judge Mercer mistakes distance for justice. Pastor Hale confuses faith with party loyalty. Nina bends truth into narrative. The witnesses include Diogenes, Nietzsche, Spinoza, Hannah Arendt, Socrates, Kierkegaard, Camus, Simone Weil, Eric Hoffer, and psychologists connected to Nuremberg, obedience, and identity fusion. Together, they expose how fear, resentment, thoughtlessness, bureaucracy, dehumanization, and group identity can lead ordinary people to outsource judgment. The book does not argue for apathy or political neutrality. It argues for moral freedom. A citizen may vote, belong, fight for justice, love a country, trust institutions, and support leaders. But no leader, party, movement, or crowd deserves the conscience. In the end, the book asks one central question: \*\*Can a citizen belong without disappearing \*\* Its answer is hopeful but demanding: civilization begins again whenever one citizen refuses to kneel.::.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Short Stories to Offend Everyone: A Comic Memoir About Lust, Philosophy, Dogs, Santa Claus, and Hell is a wild comic collection about desire, embarrassment, bad judgment, moral confusion, and the strange ways a person accidentally learns wisdom.Kirk Krutilla turns personal memory, philosophical satire, tavern comedy, Christmas disaster, and Dante-style moral fantasy into a series of outrageous stories where foolish men learn from stronger women, dogs expose human vanity, Santa Claus needs anger management, and Hell becomes a place where slogans, hypocrisy, and self-importance are punished with comic precision.The stories range from a young man on a wet Oregon road mistaking a five-dollar bill for divine approval, to Diogenes putting mankind on trial with a dog as his best witness, to two men entering the Boring Tavern for 'research purposes' and discovering they are the real specimens. Along the way, the book asks whether lust can teach humility, whether philosophy can survive comedy, whether dogs may be morally superior to people, and whether embarrassment is sometimes wisdom arriving in an ugly hat.Funny, rude, reflective, and deliberately irreverent, this collection is for readers who enjoy comic memoir, satire, absurd philosophy, flawed narrators, and stories that laugh first but still leave a bruise of truth.…
