L’Âme de l'homme sous le socialisme d’Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) fut publié pour los angeles première fois à Londres dans l. a. Fortnightly overview, en 1891. L’auteur est devenu célèbre l’année précédente, avec l. a. parution du Portrait de Dorian grey. Dans los angeles préface de ce roman, Wilde développe une perception très paradoxale ("perverse", diront certains opinions) de l. a. littérature, de l’esthétique et de l’art en général : seul compte le beau, et le véritable créateur ne doit se soucier ni de l’utile, ni de los angeles morale, ni de l’opinion. C’est cette théorie qu’il reprend dans cet essai, en apparence plus politique, où l’enjeu de l’épanouissement individuel est élargi à los angeles société entière : avec une violence redoublée, un sens de l. a. formule et un humour dignes de son ami George B. Shaw, Wilde s’en prend à tout ce qui peut contrarier le libre développement de l’individu, de los angeles propriété privée à los angeles démocratie et… au journalisme. motor vehicle le “socialisme” dont il souhaite – ou feint de souhaiter – l’avènement, plus proche de l’idéal de los angeles Fabian Society (cercle réformateur créé en 1884) que de los angeles dictature du prolétariat, ne peut correspondre à ses yeux qu’au triomphe… d’un individualisme intégral, qu’il définit comme « nouvel héllénisme». Le texte ne fut – discrètement – proposé en librairie qu’en 1895, au second où Wilde se trouvait déjà en felony, après sa condamnation pour homosexualité.

During this set of devastating essays, Gareth Peirce analyzes the corruption of legalprinciples and practices in either the USA and the united kingdom that has followed the‘War on Terror’. Exploring the few situations of torture that experience come to gentle, such asthose of Guantánamo detainees Shafiq Rasul and Binyam Mohamed, Peirce arguesthat they're facts of a deeply entrenched tradition of impunity between thoseinvestigating presumed radicals between British Muslim nationals and residents,who represent the hot suspect neighborhood within the united kingdom. Peirce indicates that theBritish executive has colluded in a complete diversity of extrajudicialactivities—rendition, internment with out trial, torture—and has long gone toextraordinary lengths to hide its activities. Its units for maintainingsecrecy are most likely extra deep-rooted than these of the other comparabledemocracy. If the govt keeps alongside this direction, Peirce argues, it willdestroy the ethical and criminal cloth it claims to be keeping.

Que s'est-il goé pour qu'advienne silencieusement, dans le sillage de l. a. crise économique du milieu des années 1970, un monde nouveau dont nul n'avait anticipé les characteristics ? En quoi consiste au juste sa nouveauté, qui à l. a. fois marque le triomphe du principe démocratique à une échelle jamais vue et rend sa mise en oeuvre si problématique ? Telles sont les questions soulevées par l. a. dernière étape en date de l'avènement de l. a. démocratie qui sont au centre de ce livre. Nous vivons los angeles part ultime de l. a. "sortie de l. a. religion", los angeles faith ne se résumant pas à l. a. foi personnelle, comme nous los angeles concevons aujourd'hui, mais formant le principe organisateur des sociétés d'avant l. a. nôtre. Ce processus paraissait parvenu à son terme ; il ne l'était pas. Nous nous pensions "absolument modernes" ; nous en étions encore loin. Nous le sommes brutalement devenus, et cela swap tout, des stipulations de los angeles coexistence planétaire à l'identité de chacun d'entre nous. Notre company politique conservait dans sa forme l'empreinte de l. a. soumission aux puissances venues d'en haut. Celle-ci s'est volatilisée, en révélant une fonction de l'Etat-nation que nous ne soupçonnions pas et qui en fait le soubassement du monde mondialisé. Nous habitions une histoire que nous pensions toute tournée vers l'avenir. Elle restait hantée par le passé, en réalité, comme le bond en avant de l. a. construction du futur nous l'a appris, en donnant à l'économie une position hégémonique dans los angeles vie collective. Les libertés individuelles que nous pensions avoir conquises continuaient secrètement d'être prises dans l'appartenance sociale. L'effacement de cette dernière leur a conféré une autre portée, en faisant apparaître une société des individus qui gravite autour des droits de l'homme. Le paradoxe est que cette bold avancée des moyens de l'autonomie humaine donne, à l'arrivée, une société qui échappe à ses membres, des démocraties incapables de se gouverner. Une selected est de disposer des tools qui permettent de maîtriser son destin, une autre est de savoir s'en servir. L'histoire de l. a. libération est derrière nous ; l'histoire de l. a. liberté start.

"If a martian landed in the USA and got down to make sure the nation's authentic kingdom faith, he must finish it's liberalism, whereas Christianity and Judaism are prohibited by means of law.
Many americans are outraged through liberal hostility to standard faith. yet as Ann Coulter unearths during this, her so much explosive e-book but, to concentration exclusively at the Left's assaults on our Judeo-Christian culture is to overlook a bigger element: liberalism is a religion—a godless one.
And it really is now entrenched because the country faith of this county.
Though liberalism rejects the belief of God and reviles humans of religion, it bears the entire attributes of a faith. In Godless, Coulter throws open the doorways of the Church of Liberalism, displaying us its sacraments (abortion), its holy writ (Roe v. Wade), its martyrs (from Soviet undercover agent Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal), its clergy (public university teachers), its church buildings (government colleges, the place prayer is against the law yet condoms are free), its doctrine of infallibility (as take place within the "absolute ethical authority" of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland), and its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident).
Then, after all, there's the liberal construction fable: Charles Darwin's concept of evolution.
For liberals, evolution is the touchstone that separates the enlightened from the benighted. yet Coulter smartly reverses the pretense that liberals are rationalists guided by means of the beliefs of loose inquiry and the medical procedure. She exposes the fundamental fact approximately Darwinian evolution that liberals refuse to confront: it is bogus science.
Writing with a prepared appreciation for real technology, Coulter finds that the so-called gaps within the thought of evolution are all there is—Darwinism is not anything yet a spot. After a hundred and fifty years of committed looking out into the fossil list, evolution's proponents have failed totally to confirm its claims. And a protracted line of intended facts, from the notorious Piltdown guy to the "evolving" peppered moths of britain, has been uncovered as hoaxes. nonetheless, liberals deal with those that query evolution as non secular heretics and restrict scholars from listening to approximately actual technology while it contradicts Darwinism. And those are the folk who say they wish to maintain religion out of the classroom?
Liberals' absolute devotion to Darwinism, Coulter exhibits, has not anything to do with evolution's medical validity and every little thing to do with its refusal to confess the potential of God as a guiding strength. they'll brook no demanding situations to the reliable religion.
Fearlessly confronting the excessive clergymen of the Church of Liberalism and ringing with Coulter's razor-sharp wit, Godless is an important and riveting publication but from one in every of today's so much vigorous and impassioned conservative voices.
"Liberals like to boast that they're no longer 'religious,' that's what one might count on to listen to from the state-sanctioned faith. in fact liberalism is a faith. It has its personal cosmology, its personal miracles, its personal ideals within the supernatural, its personal church buildings, its personal excessive monks, its personal saints, its personal overall worldview, and its personal clarification of the life of the universe. In different phrases, liberalism comprises all of the attributes of what's commonly known as 'religion.'" —From Godless
