Jak ve světě nezabloudit - Čítanka k dějinám politického myšlení – Žantovský Petr (2019)

The book you hold in your hands was created as a loose cycle of inspirational texts that should not be missed by anyone who truly wants to understand social laws and who believes in the motto "historia magistra vitae" – history is the teacher of life. Therefore, we encounter commented thoughts from Renaissance philosophers (Rochefoucauld, Erasmus of Rotterdam), through thinkers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Chesterton) and the first half of the 20th century (Bocheński, Spengler, Fedotov, Broch), to contemporary figures (Gray, Liessmann, Lipovetsky). Currently, other texts, such as those by Easterly, Dahrendorf, O'Sullivan, Shahak, or Ibn Warraq, also resonate. It is a concern viewed through many lenses about the future of humanity as a battlefield between incommensurable and unwilling to reconcile enclaves, which is, after all, one of the crucial phenomena determining our future today. We believe that in this "melting pot" of ideas, you will find not only inspiration for thought but also the realization that very little in history is completely unprecedented and that when searching for your own answers to the questions before us, it is good to invite those who have already crossed this Rubicon or at least provided a compass to help us navigate an increasingly complex world...
