Der betörende Glanz der Dummheit (3865690661)

"Dummheit", meint Esther Vilar, muss im Zeitalter des Computers anders definiert werden als in den Jahrzehnten zuvor. Angesichts der Leistungsfähigkeit der elektronischen Rechenmaschinen spricht sie sich dafür aus, Intelligenz als Zusammenspiel von Phantasie und Sensibilität zu verstehen. Dummheit zeichnet sich dann nicht durch mangelnde Rechengewandtheit oder Auffassungsgabe aus, sondern durch fehlende Kreativität, Humorlosigkeit, Gefühlskälte und Rücksichtslosigkeit. Doch obwohl sich niemand mit derlei Eigenschaften schmücken würde, erscheint diese Art von "Dummheit" geradezu Voraussetzung für gesellschaftlichen Aufstieg. Ihr Glanz betört. Und sie findet sich nicht nur bei den Herrschenden. Esther Vilars brillantes Psychogramm der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft analysiert mit provozierender Schärfe die Vorherrschaft von Mittelmaß und Selbstbezogenheit. Product details

Living Sociologically : Concepts and Connections (9780199325948)

Students are drawn to topics of urgent sociological concern-race, class, gender, family, popular culture, health, and crime-by a need to both understand the forces that shape their world, and their desire to make the world better. It can be challenging, however, for students to link sociological concepts with real-world applications. Living Sociologically: Concepts and Connections helps students make those connections. Encouraging students to observe, explore, and think critically about the social world, Living Sociologically offers a new, class-tested framework for teaching introduction to sociology. The "paired concepts" approach demonstrates the interdependent ways in which social forces work, and encourages students to engage with complexity and contradiction. It also connects students to a broader set of questions and provides them with critical, analytical tools for their post-college lives. In addition, each chapter includes an opening vignette, examples of contemporar

Useful Delusions : The Power and Paradox of the Self-Deceiving Brain (9780393652208)

Everyone agrees that lies and self-deception can do terrible harm to our lives, to our communities and to the planet. But in Useful Delusions, host of Hidden Brain Shankar Vedantam argues that, paradoxically, deceiving ourselves and others can also play a vital role in human success and well-being. The lies we tell each other and the lies that we tell ourselves sustain our daily interactions with friends, lovers and co-workers. They explain why some people live longer than others, why some couples remain in love and others don't, why some nations and tribes hold together while others splinter. Filled with powerful personal stories and drawing on new insights in psychology, neuroscience and philosophy, Useful Delusions offers a fascinating tour of an upside-down world.

Blindness (0156007754)

A stunningly powerful novel of humanity's will to survive against all odds during an epidemic by a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. An International Bestseller - "This is a shattering work by a literary master."--Boston Globe A city is hit by an epidemic of "white blindness" which spares no one. Authorities confine the blind to an empty mental hospital, but there the criminal element holds everyone captive, stealing food rations and raping women. There is one eyewitness to this nightmare who guides seven strangers--among them a boy with no mother, a girl with dark glasses, a dog of tears--through the barren streets, and the procession becomes as uncanny as the surroundings are harrowing. A magnificent parable of loss and disorientation, Blindness has swept the reading public with its powerful portrayal of our worst appetites and weaknesses--and humanity's ultimately exhilarating spirit. "This is a an important book, one that is unafraid to face

A Clockwork Orange (9780241951446)

A Clockwork Orange is the daring and electrifying book by Anthony Burgess that inspired one of the most notorious films ever made, beautifully repackaged as part of the Penguin Essentials range. 'What's it going to be then, eh?' In this nightmare vision of youth in revolt, fifteen-year-old Alex and his friends set out on a diabolical orgy of robbery, rape, torture and murder. Alex is jailed for his teenage delinquency and the State tries to reform him - but at what cost? Social prophecy? Black comedy? Study of freewill? A Clockwork Orange is all of these. It is also a dazzling experiment in language, as Burgess creates a new language - 'nadsat', the teenage slang of a not-too-distant future. 'Every generation should discover this book' Time Out 'A gruesomely witty cautionary tale' Time 'Not only about man's violent nature and his capacity to choose between good and evil. It is about the excitements and intoxicating effects of language' Da
