  • Freedom in Peril: Threats from Within the West

    by Krešimir Perković
    Not too long ago, Western societies were renowned globally for their protection and encouragement of freedom, improving the well-being of citizens around the globe in the process. Unfortunately, the West has increasingly been moving away from its principles of freedom, and, however free Western societies still are, they have become renowned for their continual abandonment of freedom. Although it might sound that way at first, this is not a book about the collapse of Western societies, and nor... more

  • The White People Show: How to Understand Racism and Still Be Wrong About It

    by Kamau Kenyatta
    The White People Show will ruffle more than a few feathers because it goes against the popular and accepted discussions around racism. No matter what you think about racism or anti racism, this book will challenge and stretch you because it will compel you to rethink what you know about individual racism and systemic racism. It’s about rightly defining the term, how white people became racist, and how black people must approach it for survival. Lastly, it exposes the dishonesty implicit in ... 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

    by Xosé Gabriel Vázquez
    Lo mismo que para obtener la imagen de una persona debes verla, pues no estamos hablando del conocimiento indirecto o, incluso, a través de fotografías, algo similar es lo que se pretende poner de manifiesto en este trabajo, aplicando el concepto de imagen también a los hechos y elementos que conforman la realidad social, desde grupos, pasando por clases, ideologías, conflictos, historia, economía, etc. Aunque también cabe la posibilidad -como pasa a nivel personal- de que en lo social tengamos ... more

  • Las imágenes de la realidad social: Definición y Análisis

    by Xosé Gabriel Vázquez
    Este ensayo trata de reivindicar el concepto de imagen conformante de la realidad social. Tanto para demostrar su existencia como para definirlo y, además, comprobar que no estaba configurado dentro del bagaje sociológico, se realiza un análisis interdisciplinar, que sirve para ir delimitando y diferenciando este término: desde la perspectiva filosófica, pasando por la contribución ontológica de la fenomenología o el enfoque de la antropología, hasta la psicología social y la diferenciación resp... more

  • 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.

  • Balance sociológico de nuestra era

    by Xosé Gabriel Vázquez
    El presente ensayo supone una recapitulación de los principales pilares sobre los que se asienta nuestra especie, como son los individuos que la formamos, la sociedad que conformamos, así como los subsistemas sociales más significativos sobre los que construimos nuestra cultura, como son la educación, la economía, la política, la religión y, sobre todo, la ciencia. Cada uno de estos capítulos se analizan desde una doble perspectiva, diacrónica y sincrónica a la vez, para poder determinar su bala... more

  • Guía existencial sobre (el) ser humano

    by Xosé Gabriel Vázquez
    Resulta coloquial la expresión de que «venimos a esta vida sin manual de instrucciones» y, aunque no seamos como un aparato con un funcionamiento determinado, sin embargo viene a reflejar la situación existencial en la que nos encontramos, sin modelos o guías que nos orienten de manera segura en el desarrollo de nuestro devenir y paso por este mundo. Hasta ahora, nos hemos valido -más bien inconscientemente- sobre todo de nuestro instinto natural y algunas interpretaciones basadas en creencias (... more

  • Homo sapiens. Animal de realidades. Nuestra identidad evolutiva como especie e individuos

    by Xosé Gabriel Vázquez
    Nuestra definición como animales racionales ha caducado, ya que ahora sabemos que esa característica la tienen también otras especies. De ahí la indagación a este respecto y su correspondiente resultado, que se abordan en este libro y cuya conclusión es que la evolución sí que nos ha dotado de algo específico: nuestra capacidad de idear, en base a la cual todos y solo los sapiens vivimos una realidad externa, en relación con el medio, otra interna, en base a nuestra cosmovisión personal, y que a... more

  • Zionism and Palestine

    by Alex Markman
    The last one-and-a-half century of Palestinian history, tragic and violent as it has been, is a confluence of social and political trends that made possible the creation of the Jewish state. There were unique circumstances that enabled Zionists to morph their ideas into actions, which in turn led to the creation of Israel. Along with a short history of Zionism and its conflict with Palestinian Arabs, a reader will find in the book a comprehensive analysis of situations that arose as a result of... more
