Ensayo de José Luis Trullo que reflexiona sobre el legado filosófico de Sócrates y su influencia en el pensamiento crítico contemporáneo.

Un testimonio sincero y humano que combina memorias políticas y personales.En 2018, lo que parecía imposible ocurrió y, tras casi cuarenta años de hegemonía socialista en el Gobierno de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, candidato del Partido Popular, se convertia en el presidente del Gobierno del cambio.Buena gestion, eficacia, maneras politicas sosegadas y abiertas al dialogo, y situar en el centro del discurso a Andalucia son, sin duda, elementos que contribuyeron a recabar el apoyo de los ciudadanos de la comunidad mas poblada de España, y que le permitieron alcanzar la confianza mayoritaria de los andaluces en las elecciones de 2022.Hoy se puede afirmar que Juanma Moreno ha definido una via andaluza exitosa, que pone por delante el beneficio de todos los andaluces, que no considera a sus rivales politicos como enemigos, sino como adversarios con los que es posible entenderse, y que defiende la moderacion en las formas y el dialogo para evitar fracturas sociales.En estas paginas, el presidente de la Junta de Andalucia combina la exposicion sincera de acontecimientos muy importantes de su vida personal con su trayectoria politica y los principios que han definido su concepto de servicio publico.

Estudio sobre la capacidad de control judicial en relación con las decisiones del poder regulador, especialmente en el sector eléctrico. A través de un análisis profundo y sistematizado, se establece un marco juridico que permite evaluar dichas decisiones, construyido sobre la jurisprudencia mas reciente. El libro rompe con la deferencia tradicional que ha impedido el examen exhaustivo de las actuaciones regulatorias, argumentando que la complejidad tecnica o los amplios margenes de actuacion no deben ser barreras para un control efectivo. Se incluyen tambien lineamientos para el adecuado motivo y justificacion del interes publico, esenciales en la aplicacion y revision judicial de la administracion.

¿CÓMO LLEGAMOS A CREER QUE LAS EMOCIONES HUMANAS SE REDUCEN A FLUCTUACIONES QUÍMICAS? ¿QUÉ PAPEL JUGARON LA INDUSTRIA FARMACÉUTICA, LOS MEDIOS DE COMUNICACIÓN Y EL PROPIO SISTEMA DE SALUD EN LA CONSTRUCCION DE ESTA IDEA?Durante decadas, se nos ha repetido que la depresion es el resultado de un desequilibrio quimico en el cerebro, en concreto, una carencia de serotonina, y que los antidepresivos son la solucion. Pero ¿y si esa narrativa, tan ampliamente difundida por profesionales, medios y la industria farmaceutica, no fuera mas que un mito sostenido por fundamentos poco solidos desde el punto de vista cientifico?En El mito de los antidepresivos, la reconocida psiquiatra y academica Joanna Moncrieff desmonta, a traves de la rigurosa evidencia cientifica, la teoria serotoninergica de la depresion. A lo largo de un recorrido fascinante por mas de medio siglo de investigaciones, politicas sanitarias y cambios culturales, Moncrieff revela como una idea que nacio como una hipotesis provisional termino convirtiendose en un dogma incuestionado. Critico pero accesible, este libro desafia muchas de las falsas creencias que han moldeado la psiquiatria moderna e invita a replantear el modelo biomedico de la salud mental. Moncrieff ofrece alternativas para cambiar el abordaje de la depresion y abre el debate sobre una cuestion esencial: ¿es realmente beneficioso medicar nuestras emociones?El mito de los antidepresivos es una lectura provocadora, necesaria y profundamente esclarecedora para cualquier persona que haya convivido con la depresion, la haya tratado o simplemente quiera entenderla mejor.Destacado en ITV y en The Sunday Times MagazineControvertido y valiente Daily Mail

A un pueblo del Atlas marroquí perdido en mitad de la nada llegan un buen día dos policías de la ciudad para llevar a cabo una muy poco convencional investigación. La vida rural en el Marruecos profundo, la simplicidad de sus habitantes y un calor sofocante de mil demonios hacen que la investigacion se estanque, dando lugar a situaciones hilarantes debido al choque inevitable de ambos mundos. Lo que en principio podria parecer una novela policiaca es en realidad una inteligente reflexion del autor sobre el Marruecos posterior a la colonizacion y una denuncia de la huella indeleble de Occidente en este pais. La memoria colectiva, las estructuras de poder y la deteriorada relacion del hombre con la naturaleza son algunos de los temas sobre los que ahonda Chraibi, siempre desde la satira y el humor, mezclados en ocasiones con un profundo lirismo. En definitiva, los peligros del progreso occidental descontrolado, que destruye a su paso los valores tradicionales largamente edificados. Se publico por primera vez en Francia en 1981 y su exito fue tal que dio lugar a nuevas narraciones con el inspector Ali como protagonista. Una pequeña joya literaria traducida ahora al castellano.
