  • Common Sense for Humans: An Outsider's Look From the Inside

    by Claus Windelev

    “Common Sense” is a book that attempts to bring some rationality to our increasingly complex world. We appear to have reached a critical mass, where we look to be divided again along tribal lines we began with tribes and established a powerful united multicultural society from there. The elimination of traditional, tried-and-true behavioral conventions, as well as a lack of common sense, are both contributing factors to this fragmentation. Politics, education, the environment, and... more

  • Animal of realities

    by Xosé Gabriel Vázquez
    Our definition as rational animals has expired, since we now know that other species also have that characteristic. Hence the inquiry in this regard and its corresponding result, which are addressed in this book and whose conclusion is that evolution itself has endowed us with something specific: our ability to devise, based on which all and only sapiens live an external reality, in relation to the environment, and an internal reality, based on our personal worldview, and which we also symbolize... more
  • Concepto de imagen de la realidad social

  • Las imágenes de la realidad social: Definición y Análisis

    by Xosé Gabriel Vázquez

  • Análise da Sociedade Galega

    by Xosé Gabriel Vázquez
    Esta obra quere aportar unha imaxe da sociedade galega como entidade propia, coas súas relacións e comportamentos como colectivo, coas súas características sociais, cos seus feitos máis suliñables e, tamén, con seus defectos e virtudes como parte integrante da realidade social da que forma parte, ou mesmo facendo alusión ao seu espíritu común que, segundo Otero Pedrayo, é unha das nosas mellores e máis significativas señais á hora de identificar a este pobo.
