In the age of climate change is the communist hypothesis still relevant Only a renewed communism a communism for life or a biocommunism will enable us to move beyond the ecological crisis of late capitalism Based on an original reading of founding texts of Marxism the author launches a critique of the ontological turn in ecology Against Bruno Latour or Donna Haraway he develops a philosophy for green Marxism based on the centrality of land ownership The history of societies and the history of nature are intertwined precisely because they have singular trajectories In a new reading of Karl Marx s exchanges with the populist terrorists in Russia the cultural studies of Raymond Williams and the Marxism of Jose Carlos Mariategui s and Ernst Bloch s attachment to the land the author develops a philosophical naturalism in which human belonging to the Earth is transformed by the ways in which societies appropriate nature A political strategy is derived from this new philosophy of history ecological dual power ecological soviets is the communist strategy for getting out of the Anthropocene Communism must become environmentalism and political ecology can only become truly revolutionary if it becomes communist

Lucas Heredia, joven gitano del Raval, conoce de forma casual a Lucía Rinaldi y#8722; una argentina madura, profesora de tango y#8722; en un baile en las Ramblas de Barcelona y se siente fuertemente atraido por ella. Josemi Faneca, amigo de Lucas, urde una trama para extorsionar a Lucia y trata de convencer a Lucas de ello. Este es el arranque de una historia de seduccion por parte de los personajes, que se veran empujados por la fuerza implacable del deseo, que al final de la novela les centrifugara a cada uno hacia un lugar insospechado y distinto al que imaginaban. Por debajo de una trama que adquiere visos de thriller psicologico, se esconden las pulsiones intimas de los personajes. Cada uno de ellos se cuela por azar en la vida de los otros, con la intencion de conquistarlos o de manipularlos. Lucia se vera envuelta en un viaje interior hacia su propio pasado familiar y hacia sus origenes de la epoca anterior al exilio. Lucas siente que parte de sus expectativas estan construidas de mitos y de sueños prestados, y Josemi vera como se desvanece su personaje de carton-piedra. Todos ellos terminan atrapados en una telaraña de contradicciones, celos y frustracion. Las tres historias de los tres personajes principales se van entrecruzando a traves de un narrador limitado que les da voz, pero que nunca proporciona toda la informacion, y que hace transitar al lector por el terreno resbaladizo de una realidad engañosa y fragmentaria, que queda desmentida despues, como en un juego de espejos donde nada es lo que parece ser.

De Rousseau a la era digital,áEducar para pensaráes una invitación urgente a formar ciudadanos críticos y libres en tiempos de incertidumbre y polarización. Educar para pensar revisa algunas de las mas valiosas construcciones teorico-educativas que se han dado a lo largo de la historia moderna y contemporanea. Unas son mas proclives al modelo educativo liberal: Kant, Constant, Mill, Dewey, Russell, Berlin, Garzon Valdes, Gutmann. Otras son mas cercanas a planteamientos propios del prerromanticismo o del mismo romanticismo, moderadamente conservadores, criticos, republicanos, humanistas o pluriculturalistas: Rousseau, Schiller, Tocqueville, Durkheim, Ortega, Arendt, Villoro, Nussbaum.Desde una concepcion liberal de la educacion, igualitaria, democratica y deliberativa, Rodolfo Vazquez hace suya la celebre locucion del poeta Horacio, Sapere aude, para argumentar en favor de un pensar autonomo, ajeno a un solipsismo egoista y comprometido con un ejercicio intersubjetivo y cooperativo, con especial atencion a la educacion en la era digital.

Un siglo más tarde, la incómoda claridad profética de La crisis del mundo moderno sigue siendo una lectura urgente. René Guénon (1886-1951) desnuda en estas páginas la raíz de nuestro tiempo: un extravio espiritual tan profundo que convierte a la modernidad en una autentica Edad Oscura. Frente al mito del progreso y la fe ciega en la ciencia profana, se revela la fractura que ha separado al ser humano de la Tradicion, de esos principios eternos que han dado sentido y cohesion a todas las civilizaciones. Este libro no ofrece consuelos faciles ni criticas superficiales. Con precision implacable, Guenon desmonta el individualismo, el materialismo y el racionalismo que sostienen al mundo moderno. No se trata de simples errores circunstanciales, advierte, sino de sintomas de una decadencia profunda que nos arrastra al abismo. Su mensaje es directo y radical: solo un retorno consciente al saber de los antiguos, a la ciencia sagrada, puede abrir una salida frente al nihilismo que nos rodea. Almuzara presenta una nueva edicion, traducida y anotada por Antonio de Diego Gonzalez, que devuelve a Guenon toda su vigencia y actualidad. No es un tratado para eruditos del pasado, sino una brujula para orientarse en medio del caos presente. Leerlo es aceptar una verdad incomoda: el ser humano, sin la Tradicion y sin lo sagrado, no tiene porvenir, solo ruina y desarraigo. Hace casi un siglo, Guenon trazo el mapa de nuestra oscuridad. Hoy, sus palabras brillan como faro ante el naufragio de la modernidad. Antonio de Diego, profesor de la Universidad de Malaga. Una obra imprescindible para comprender el porque del nihilismo contemporaneo y la raiz de la ofuscacion ideologica de nuestro tiempo, pero tambien para sembrar la sanacion y la respuesta. Gonzalo Rodriguez Garcia, autor de El aullido del Lobo.

Según Peter Beinart, hay una narrativa que domina la vida comunitaria judía: la de la persecución y el victimismo. Es algo que borra gran parte de los matices de la tradición religiosa judía y distorsiona nuestra comprension de Israel y Palestina. Tras Gaza, donde se han utilizado los textos, la historia y el idioma judios para justificar el genocidio y la hambruna, Beinart sostiene que los judios deben cambiar de narrativa. Despues de esta guerra, cuyo horror resonara durante generaciones, deben ofrecer una nueva respuesta a la pregunta: ¿que significa ser judio?Ser judio tras la destruccion de Gaza contiene un argumento provocador que ampliara y enriquecera uno de los debates mas importantes de nuestro tiempo. Es un libro que solo Peter Beinart podria escribir: una obra llena de pasion, pero mesurada que reune su experiencia personal, su profundo conocimiento de la historia, su aguda comprension de los dilemas politicos y morales, y una vision clara del futuro.
