On 16 October 2017, Daphne Caruana Galizia, the most formidable Maltese journalist of her time, was murdered by a bomb placed under her car. That bomb tore a hole right through Maltese society and politics. For over thirty years, Daphne took a pen to Maltese society and politics and, wielding it like a razor, shaved as close to the flesh as she possibly could. Her cause was democracy in its fullest sense, Daphne insisted that democracy was not...

This collection of essays on Fichte's philosophico-political thought by Diego Fusaro, described by La Repubblica as 'possibly the brightest star in the Italian philosophical firmament of our times', explicitly recalls Jacques D'Hondt's landmark 1968 thesis "Hegel secret". Fusaro argues that there is a 'secret Fichte' - different from the Fichte we have grown accustomed to thanks to the numerous hermeneutical essays of the greater part of the F...

This collection of essays purportedly deals with the 2019 Person of the Year in Organized Crime and Corruption: Malta's Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, on whose watch journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was murdered while investigating some of the sleaziest instances of State corruption in the European Union.While analysing Muscat's political style and the use he relentlessly made of the liberal agenda to create a smokescreen for his political aid...

This book offers its readers a theoretical-systematic statement of the problematic of aesthetics in the aftermath of Hegel's Lectures on Aesthetics and of its further developments in the works of his greatest, or most influential, followers, in particular Friedrich Theodor Vischer's monumental Ästhetik oder Wissenschaft des Schönen (1846-57).On the basis of an in-depth interpretation and critical evaluation of the Hegelian conception of art as...

Divided into eleven chapters, this monograph is an attempt to make sense of the teasingly evasive phenomenon of consciousness constituting the self using multi-disciplinary tools. For this investigation, the author uses various insights developed by psychology, material and biological sciences, linguistics and philosophy, particularly the idealistic schools of Indian philosophy. The enquiry starts with an account of entity which is defined as ...

Modern Ideas: International Law and Freemasonry is an exploration of the impact that Freemasonry, one of the most well-known secret societies history has ever known, has had on the development of international law, society, and politics, and human rights. The author, Belgian scholar Ernest Nys, was a lawyer and distinguished professor of Public International Law at the University of Brussels, a staunch advocate of internationalism, and a Freem...

Reprint of 1811 book containing documents relative to the British occupation of Malta 1800-1814.

Malta, 16 ottobre 2017. Daphne Caruana Galizia, 53enne, tra le più coraggiose giornaliste europee dei nostri tempi, viene assassinata da un'autobomba. Avendo già pubblicato attraverso il proprio blog i loschi intrecci dei politici maltesi coinvolti nei Panama Papers, Daphne s'accingeva a svelare altre notizie altrettanto scottanti sulla corruzione nel mondo politico maltese e i suoi nessi con società offshore, regimi dittatoriali post-sovietic...

Among the many thinkers belonging to the modern tradition, Hegel is the most incompatible with today's post-1989 absolute capitalism. His thematisation of historicity in the time of the end of history, his conception of communitarian subjectivity in the time of individualistic anomie, and, furthermore, his valorisation of the ethical State with the primacy of the political in the age of the deregulated market, prove to be prolifically irreconc...

Soulless clones will arrive in the near future and change everything. A clone without a soul will reveal, once and for all, that we humans have souls. Dualism is true - we are body and soul. Materialism is false - we are not just a body. Soulless clones can't tell time because souls tell time. The mega theory in this book also reveals the schools of Philosophy, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Science, Judaism, Christianism, Islamism, and Tao...

Two books in one volume: The Vocation of the Scholar (1794) and The Vocation of Man (1800)

Diego Fusaro's monograph on the influence of Epicurus on Marx's thought is multilayered. It not only explains Epicurean thought and how it impacted the young Marx, but also manages to do unto Marx what Marx did unto Epicurus. Marx employed Epicurus' critical stance toward Plato and Aristotle as an excuse, as it were, to drop not-so-subtle hints about the philosophy and politics of the Germany of his day. Fusaro, described by the influential pa...

One difference between the economic system in which we live and the systems of the past is that the former does not claim to be perfect. It merely denies the existence of alternatives. For the first time, power does not manifest its qualities, but simply claims that its nature is inevitable. Diego Fusaro's new essay is a strong rejection, like a whiplash, of the rhetorical claim that reality is an immutable situation and of the habit of accept...

Gentile's philosophy is on the one hand unexpectedly simple, but on the other somewhat difficult to understand for those who are not well versed with German and Italian idealism. Gentile follows a certain current in Italian philosophy based on a "Fichte-ised" Hegel, but carries it to its extremes. For Gentile, the transcendental point of view is found in the reality of our thought when thought is considered not as a completed act but as an act...
