Constitution Of Knowledge - A Defense Of Truth

by Jonathan Rauch

~~25,04€~~ 20,03€ 20% OFF

 Arming Americans to defend the truth from today's war on facts?In what could be the timeliest book of the year, Rauch aims to arm his readers to engage with reason in an age of illiberalism.? NewsweekA New York Times Book Review Editors' ChoiceDisinformation. Trolling. Conspiracies. Social media pile-ons. Campus intolerance. On the surface, these recent additions to our daily vocabulary appear to have little in common. But together, they are driving an epistemic crisis: a multi-front challenge to America's ability to distinguish fact from fiction and elevate truth above falsehood.In 2016 Russian trolls and bots nearly drowned the truth in a flood of fake news and conspiracy theories, and Donald Trump and his troll armies continued to do the same. Social media companies struggled to keep up with a flood of falsehoods, and too often didn't even seem to try. Experts and some public officials began wondering if society was losing its grip on truth itself. Meanwhile, another new phenomenon appeared: ?cancel culture.? At the push of a button, those armed with a cellphone could gang up by the thousands on anyone who ran afoul of their sanctimony.In this pathbreaking book, Jonathan Rauch reaches back to the parallel eighteenth-century developments of liberal democracy and science to explain what he calls the ?Constitution of Knowledge? our social system for turning disagreement into truth.By explicating the Constitution of Knowledge and probing the war on reality, Rauch arms defenders of truth with a clearer understanding of what they must protect, why they must do and how they can do it. His book is a sweeping and readable description of how every American can help defend objective truth and free inquiry from threats as far away as Russia and as close as the cellphone.

Aspects Of The Novel

by E. M. Forster

~~2,87€~~ 2,30€ 20% OFF

 "I am annoyed when people laugh at me for loving *The Swiss Family Robinson*, and I hope that I have annoyed some of you over Scott!" Anyone attempting an analysis and evaluation of novels inevitably runs the risk of upsetting those with different literary tastes. E. M. Forster, in his 1927 Clark Lectures, embraced this challenge in this personal yet seminal account of the English novel.The previous decade had seen a number of significant contributions to literary criticism of the novel, and Forster engages with a number of them in his lectures. Yet most of these have been forgotten, while Forster's *Aspects of the Novel* remains in print, with a new edition introduced by Frank Kermode appearing as recently as 2005. The continuing appeal is not simply Forster's elegant prose, nor his engaging, conversational tone, nor yet the frisson of his many judgments on well-known books and contemporary authors. Rather, the work has proved seminal for Forster's selection of "aspects," and the clarity and cogency of his analysis.Contemporary reviews and reactions to his published lectures tended to decry his insights as limited to his own practice as a leading novelist. With the benefit of hindsight, more recent critics recognize the way in which Forster's account of the novel has shaped the development of its study in the 20th century and beyond. As *Aspects of the Novel* approaches its centenary, it enjoys an established place as a classic of literary criticism.Perfect for aspiring writers, literature students, and anyone passionate about understanding what makes great fiction tick, this timeless masterpiece offers Forster's brilliant insights into character development, plot structure, and the art of storytelling. Whether you're crafting your own novel or simply want to deepen your appreciation of literary classics, Forster's witty and accessible analysis will transform how you read and think about fiction forever.

His proficiency doesn't end there either.

Without further ado, John welcome to the show…How to Use Analogies to Communicate Better and Persuade More PeopleI think that we can start by paying attention to all of the analogies around us. I think many people grew up thinking about analogies in their strictest SAT format. "The Kentucky is to horse racing as the Indie 500 is to auto racing." And so, people feel constricted that way. Once you start thinking of analogies more broadly, as a comparison that suggests parallels between two different things, you'll start seeing them in marketing taglines, business models, legal arguments, biblical parables, sports pages. That awareness, learning to cultivate that awareness, will start tuning up your analogical instincts and allow you to put them to work on your own behalf.

Evolution Of Expression Volume 1

~~1,06€~~ 0,85€ 20% OFF

 Evolution of expression Volume 1 offers a structured exploration of how expressive ability develops when approached as a gradual, disciplined craft. The work introduces an educational philosophy centered on the idea that communication grows through identifiable stages shaped by psychological principles. It compares the growth of an effective speaker to the development found in other artistic practices, suggesting that progress begins with simple energy before advancing toward controlled movement, fuller resonance, and polished articulation. Early chapters outline this progression while encouraging learners to engage deeply with selected literary passages chosen to illustrate each stage. Through these examples, the text emphasizes intentional practice, attentive listening, and a thoughtful connection between inner understanding and outward delivery. The opening portion highlights how expression is not merely a skill but a cultivated response to thought, emotion, and experience, guiding students toward greater clarity, purpose, and confidence. By blending theory with practical application, the volume establishes a systematic path for strengthening communication in both academic and personal settings.
