Intentó el autor teorizar sobre la naturaleza del Estado, sobre la sociedad en que se sustenta y sobre todo en las formas de adquirir y perder el poder y las formas de mantenerse en él.

Entre los numerosos objetos de análisis que llamaron la atención de Aristóteles (384-322 a.C.) se contó también el fenómeno literario y, dentro de él, su más notable manifestación en su época: el teatro. En él es donde encontramos por primera vez definidos algunos conceptos literarios la trama o argumento de una obra, las distintas partes de una pieza dramática, los efectos que el teatro produce en el espectador o lector, así como términos como el de catarsis o purificación, la peripecia o cambio de fortuna, o el concepto de anagnórisis (reconocimiento).

Story
El arte de tratar a las mujeres, ha sido probablemente el libro más polémico de Arthur Schopenhauer. En esta oportunidad Arthur hace un análisis de la mujer, comparando su desempeño con el ofrecido por el hombre. Este libro no permite comprender el pensamiento del hombre europeo de antaño y realizar una comparativa con los tiempos actuales. ¿Existirá alguna diferencia? Lo dejamos a su criterio.
Publisher's summary
"El hombre nace libre y, sin embargo, por todas partes se encuentra encadenado."
En El contrato social, Rousseau explora el concepto de libertad y las estructuras políticas que pueden permitir que las personas la adquieran. Argumenta que el poder soberano de un estado no reside en ningún gobernante sino en la voluntad de la población en general. Rousseau argumenta que el estado ideal sería una democracia directa donde la toma de decisiones ejecutivas la llevan a cabo ciudadanos reunidos en asamblea, como lo harían en la antigua ciudad-estado de Atenas. Los pensamientos contenidos en el trabajo fueron fundamentales para el advenimiento de la Revolución Americana y se volvieron sagrados para quienes lideraron la Revolución Francesa. El filósofo ginebrino Jean-Jacques Rousseau escribió sus pensamientos básicos sobre la constitución de un buen estado en 1762, cuando el poder absolutista de muchos reyes estaba en su apogeo. En consecuencia, el contrato social, que puede verse como un precursor de las democracias modernas, ha sido prohibido en muchos países. ¿Qué diría Rousseau sobre la constitución de las democracias actuales? Una mirada a su obra aclarará esta cuestión.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

Story
On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

Story
Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, treating men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias in time, money, and often with their lives. Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women.
