Preventa de filosofía moderna

La vasta experiencia política de Maquiavelo en la República de Florencia, sumada a su talento literario, dio pie a El príncipe, una obra visionaria tan válida hoy como en el momento en que la escribio. Su inspirado y muy sincero analisis de las cualidades que debe atesorar un gobernante y como debe ejercerse el poder se aleja del idealismo y la moral tradicional para mostrarse implacable en sus propuestas, tan radicales como pragmaticas. Edicion a cargo de Antonio Hermosa Andujar.

In the West today, suffering has become a new sacred cow. Once a common feature of the human condition, it is now a special trait you can use to impress your contemporaries. It provides you with a borrowed identity, transforming you into an exceptional being who can show off on the public stage at little cost. Everyone flaunts their certificate of affliction, positioning themselves above their peers. Even those who are well-off and powerful seek to find a place in the aristocracy of the margins, creating new castes of the dispossessed at the expense of the truly unfortunate. Infused with bitterness, this cult of the victim glorifies the martyr figure and feeds into the passions of revenge and resentment. This is the message of our age: we are all victims and entitled to feel sorry for ourselves.
