After his retirement from statesmanship, Sallust devoted his time to the writing of literary and historical works that focused on great persons and events of his age. Although a lesser-known Roman historian, Sallust has become particularly revered for his intention to write scholarly, not merely anecdotal, discussions of events. Nietzsche described his style as “compact, severe, with as much...

Jeżeli istnieje jedno przekonanie, które połączyło lewicę i prawicę, psychologów i filozofów, myślicieli starożytnych i współczesnych, to jest nim milczące założenie, że ludzie są źli. Bardzo często trafia ono do nagłówków gazet i kształtuje życie całych społeczeństw. Od Machiavellego do Hobbesa, od Freuda do Pinkera – korzenie tego przekonania przeniknęły głęboko do naszej kultury. A jeśli to nie jest prawda? W światowym bestsellerze Rutger Bregman przedstawia nowe spojrzenie na ostatnie 200...

Gdy w 1998 roku doktor Andrew Wakefield opublikował w czasopiśmie naukowym „The Lancet” artykuł o związku szczepionki przeciwko śwince, różyczce i odrze z występowaniem u dzieci autyzmu, świat zawrzał.

Brian Deer, dziennikarz śledczy z „The Sunday Times”,...

He argues that the ambivalent nature of solitude became a prominent concern in the modern era. For intellectuals...

Why is our sense of smell so under-appreciated? We tend to think of smell as a vestigial remnant of our pre-human past, doomed to gradual extinction, and we go to great lengths to eliminate smells from our environment, suppressing body odour, bad breath and other smells. Living in a relatively odour-free environment has numbed us to the importance that smells have always had in human history and culture.<br /> <br /> In this major new book Robert Muchembled restores smell to its...

"See raamat juhatab lugeja vastiseseisvunud Eesti kriminaalsetesse telgitagustesse. Rahutu aeg kestis üle 20 aasta, veel tänagi lahatakse toona tehtud seaduserikkumisi ning otsitakse kadunuks jäänud mehi ja Mersusid. Kõige tihedamal, 1994. aastal tapeti Eestis umbes üks inimene päevas, ning mitte alati ei olnud mängus „Eesti maffia”, mille olemasolu ja tegevuse uurimine on üks selle teose eesmärkidest. Tol ajal ei olnud odav mitte üksnes alkohol ja lõbustused. Ka inimelul oli hinnasilt,...
