Han enriquecido vidas, y tambien las han destruido. Taurus publica las obras de los grandes pensadores, pioneros, radicales y visionarios cuyas ideas sacudieron la civilizacion y nos impulsaron a ser quienes somos. Este explosivo llamamiento de Rousseau a favor de la libertad humana contribuyo a encender la mecha de la Revolucion Francesa y ha avivado desde entonces cualquier debate sobre como deberiamos gobernarnos los unos a los otros, siendo considerado tanto un modelo para el terror politico como una declaracion fundamental de la democracia.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe Social Contract is one of Jean Jacques Rousseau's works that has influenced politics & government throughout the world. It espouses Rousseau's theory on power & philosophical doctrine by delving into what he viewed as the best way to establish a political community in the face of the problems of commercial society, which he had already identified in his Discourse on Inequality (1754). The Social Contract helped inspire political reforms or revolutions in Europe, especially in France. It argued against the idea that monarchs were divinely empowered to legislate. Rousseau asserts that only the people, who are sovereign, have that all-powerful right. In The Social Contract (1762) Rousseau argues that laws are binding only when they are supported by the general will of the people. When people aren't abiding the general will and they are "forced to be free", this wasn't advocating totalitarianism. The general will is laws that are accepted as just and those who don't follow the general will are breaking the law. Rousseau is advocating to force people to follow the law because it is in everyone's best interest to do so.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. La discipula de la autora de Ay, mis ancestros! nos revela como liberarnos de los traumas de los antepasados para avanzar por un camino propio. De nuestros ancestros no solo recibimos el color de los ojos o rasgos fisicos: tambien heredamos sus duelos inconclusos, sus secretos y sus miedos. Esa herencia invisible puede manifestarse en nuestro cuerpo, en nuestras emociones o en los caminos que elegimos sin saber por que. Con un tono claro y una mirada profundamente humana, Evelyne Bissone Jeufroy nos guia hacia el reconocimiento de esas marcas del pasado para liberarnos de ellas.A traves de historias reales, nos muestra como los traumas familiares no resueltos pueden transformarse en fuerza vital cuando se hacen conscientes. Siguiendo los pasos de su maestra Anne Ancelin Schuetzenberger, la autora nos ensena a utilizar la psicogenealogia para iluminar los vinculos transgeneracionales, sanar las lealtades invisibles y reconciliarnos con nuestra propia biografia. He aqui un libro revelador y practico: una invitacion a mirar atras sin miedo, a comprender el peso de nuestra historia y a construir, desde esa verdad, una vida mas libre, serena y luminosa.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe disciple of the author of Oh, My Ancestors! reveals how to free ourselves from ancestral trauma so we can forge our own path. From our ancestors, we inherit not only eye color or physical traits: we also inherit their unresolved grief, their secrets, and their fears. This invisible inheritance can manifest in our bodies, in our emotions, or in the paths we choose without knowing why. With a clear tone and a deeply human perspective, Evelyne Bissone Jeufroy guides us toward recognizing these marks of the past so we can free ourselves from them.Through real-life stories, she shows us how unresolved family traumas can be transformed into vital energy when we become aware of them. Following in the footsteps of her mentor Anne Ancelin Schuetzenberger, the author teaches us to use psychogenealogy to shed light on transgenerational bonds, heal invisible loyalties, and reconcile ourselves with our own life story. Here is a revealing and practical book: an invitation to look back without fear, to understand the weight of our history, and to build, from that truth, a freer, more serene, and more luminous life.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. El filosofo verde (El Pais) llega a Taurus con una bomba de oxigeno filosofica profundamente enraizada en la naturaleza.Espiritualidad y filosofia desde el jardin.La sabiduria no se puede ensenar ni comprar. Cada cual debe, a imitacion de la flora, fabricar su propio alimento espiritual. El proceso de elaboracion de ese saber practico bien podria llamarse Filosintesis. He ahi la manera de responder a la pregunta filosofica por excelencia: Como vivir de la mejor manera posible? Lo cierto es que tanto plantas como humanos crecemos buscando la luz. Del mismo modo en que extraemos los principios activos del reino vegetal para tratar los males del cuerpo y del alma, tambien podemos obtener de el valiosas ensenanzas acerca de como pensar y actuar de forma sana y beneficiosa. No por casualidad el color de la esperanza es el verde.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe "green philosopher" (El Pais) arrives at Taurus with a philosophical breath of fresh air deeply rooted in nature.Wisdom cannot be taught or bought. Each person must, in imitation of flora, manufacture their own spiritual nourishment. The process of developing this practical knowledge could well be called Philosynthesis. This is the way to answer the philosophical question par excellence: how to live in the best possible way? The truth is that both plants and humans grow by seeking light. Just as we extract active ingredients from the plant kingdom to treat the ills of the body and soul, we can also obtain valuable lessons from it about how to think and act in a healthy and beneficial way. It is no coincidence that the color of hope is green. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Y si aprovecharamos el poder de la vergueenza como un motor vital y politico?El nuevo ensayo del autor de Andar, una filosofia. La vergueenza es un sentimiento omnipresente en el mundo contemporaneo, un signo de nuestra responsabilidad. Podemos avergonzarnos del estado del mundo, de las propias pertenencias frente a los que no tienen nada, de la indecente riqueza de los poderosos, del modo en que asfixiamos el planeta, de las actitudes sexistas o racistas.La vergueenza no es solo tristeza y retraimiento; tambien es portadora de ira, de una energia transformadora. Por eso Marx proclamo que la vergueenza es revolucionaria. En este ensayo, Frederic Gros recurre a autores como Primo Levi, a Annie Ernaux, a Virginie Despentes y a James Baldwin, para explorar las profundidades de un sentimiento demasiado olvidado en la filosofia moral y politica.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An original reflection on shame as the central feeling of our age - the expression of an anger that is the necessary condition for new struggles.Can shame become a source of political strength? Faced with injustice, growing inequality and systemic violence, we cry out in shame. We feel ashamed of obscene wealth amid wider deprivation. We feel ashamed of humanity for its ruthless and relentless exploitation of the earth. We feel ashamed of the racism and sexism that permeate society and our everyday lives.This difficult emotion is not just sadness or a withdrawal into oneself, nor is it a paralysing sense of inadequacy. As Frederic Gros argues in A Philosophy of Shame, it arises when our perception of reality rejects passivity and resignation and instead embraces imagination. Shame thus becomes the expression of an anger that is a powerful, transformative force -one that assumes a radical character.In dialogue with authors such as Primo Levi, Annie Ernaux, Virginie Despentes and James Baldwin, Gros explores a concept that is still little understood in its anthropological, moral, psychological and political depths. Shame is a revolutionary sentiment because it lies at the foundation of any path of subjective recognition, transformation and struggle.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. La verdadera historia de amor oculta tras Poeta en Nueva York.En agosto de 1929, Federico Garcia Lorca interrumpe su estancia en Nueva York y viaja al norte de Vermont para pasar diez dias en una cabana junto al lago Eden. Alli le espera un joven estadounidense llamado Philip Cummings, profesor de idiomas a quien habia conocido un ano antes en Madrid y con el cual mantuvo una relacion amorosa. No obstante, en este reencuentro se manifiestan dos expectativas distintas: la del poeta ya consagrado, que aspira a una relacion duradera, y la de un joven poco dispuesto a desafiar las convenciones sociales de la conservadora sociedad estadounidense. Nadie, hasta ahora, sabia realmente como este momento marcaria para siempre la vida del poeta.Lorca en Vermont, fruto de mas de una decada de investigacion y un cuidadoso trabajo con fuentes de primera mano, reconstruye una relacion que se extendio durante tres anos y abarco dos continentes, y examina tanto su intimidad como el posterior silenciamiento critico tras el asesinato del poeta en 1936. Asimismo, propone una nueva lectura de varios poemas de Poeta en Nueva York, al vincular la experiencia afectiva de Lorca con algunas de las partes mas significativas de esta obra.El resultado es un estudio solido y de prosa clara que amplia nuestra comprension de un episodio desconocido hasta ahora pero decisivo en la vida del autor, e integra en su legado una dimension intima que enriquece la interpretacion de su poemario mas emblematico.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA groundbreaking reassessment of the relationship between Federico Garcia Lorca and American poet Philip Cummings and its impact on the poems in Lorca's landmark collection, Poet in New York.In August 1929, Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca left New York City to spend ten days with his friend and lover Philip Cummings at a lakeside cottage in northern Vermont. Lorca in Vermont tells the story of two young men with mismatched goals and expectations: Lorca, already well established in his career, who sought a sustained romantic relationship with another man, and Cummings, a new college graduate eight years his junior, who had no interest in long-term commitment or in challenging social conventions. Based on over a decade of research, Lorca in Vermont explores the full course of Lorcas relationship with Cummings, an affair that spanned three years and two continents. Combining unique access to primary sources, extensive original research, and a fresh analysis of published sources, the book describes not only the pairs history as a couple but also the suppression of their relationship by Lorca scholars after the poets tragic death in 1936. Perhaps most importantly, it reveals previously unrecognized links between the disappointment and loss Lorca experienced in his relationship with Cummings and at least eight of the poems in his landmark collection Poet in New York, a work that has long intrigued and inspired other writers. The book brilliantly blends compelling new findings and an engaging narrative style in a page-turning tale that is a must read for anyone interested in Lorca and his legacy.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Uno de los mejores libros de Amazon de 2024El libro mas personal de Malcolm Gladwell, un guru de lo mas carismatico (San Francisco Chronicle), una guia para entender las epidemias del mundo moderno.Veinticinco anos despues de la publicacion de su primer libro, Malcolm Gladwell retoma las lecciones de El punto clave con la intencion de iniciar un debate dificil sobre las epidemias. Es el momento de reconocer nuestro papel en su genesis y ser honestos acerca de todas las formas sutiles y a veces ocultas en las que intentamos manipularlas. Necesitamos una guia sobre los patogenos y contagios que nos rodean.A traves de una serie de historias fascinantes, La venganza del punto clave rastrea el surgimiento de una nueva y preocupante forma de ingenieria social. Gladwell nos lleva a las calles de Los Angeles para conocer a los ladrones de bancos mas exitosos del mundo, redescubre un programa de television olvidado de la decada de los setenta que cambio el mundo, visita el enclave donde se produjo un experimento historico, en un pequeno callejon sin salida al norte de California, y ofrece una historia alternativa de dos de las mayores epidemias de nuestros dias: la COVID y la crisis de los opioides. Con su caracteristica combinacion de ciencia social y divulgacion, nos invita a reflexionar sobre nuestra comprension de los contagios del mundo moderno (y sus puntos de inflexion).ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONAmazon Best Books of 2024Twenty-five years after the publication of his groundbreaking first book, Malcolm Gladwell returns with a brand-new volume that reframes the lessons of The Tipping Point in a startling and revealing light.Why is MiamiMiami? What does the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah tell us about the way we raise our children? Why do Ivy League schools care so much about sports? What is the Magic Third, and what does it mean for racial harmony? In this provocative new work, Malcolm Gladwell returns for the first time in twenty-five years to the subject of social epidemics and tipping points, this time with the aim of explaining the dark side of contagious phenomena.Through a series of riveting stories, Gladwell traces the rise of a new and troubling form of social engineering. He takes us to the streets of Los Angeles to meet the worlds most successful bank robbers, rediscovers a forgotten television show from the 1970s that changed the world, visits the site of a historic experiment on a tiny cul-de-sac in northern California, and offers an alternate history of two of the biggest epidemics of our day: COVID and the opioid crisis. Revenge of the Tipping Point is Gladwells most personal book yet. With his characteristic mix of storytelling and social science, he offers a guide to making sense of the contagions of modern world. Its time we took tipping points seriously. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
