Again, why is it that, released from the effects of...

“Gaslighting” is suddenly in everyone’s vocabulary. It’s written about, talked about, tweeted about, even sung about (in “Gaslighting” by The Chicks). It’s become shorthand for being manipulated by someone who insists that up is down, hot is cold, dark is light—someone who isn’t just lying about such things, but trying to drive you crazy. The term has its origins in a 1944 film in which a husband does exactly that to his wife, his...

We know we should forgive, and we may want to forgive, but often we struggle to find a way. Gerry created four questions...

En este libro que ahora presentamos, René Girard y su interlocutor Benoît Chantre no tratan de sacar un beneficio para su imagen personal o engrosar las listas de los aprendices de profetas. Se adentran en el mundo de uno de los grandes intérpretes de la guerra, Carl von Clausewitz.

El mal, el robo, las relaciones sexuales, el asesinato, la conciencia..., han sido tradicionalmente objeto de la teoría de la moral. Sin embargo, mientras que las tradiciones morales históricas entendieron durante mucho tiempo estos comportamientos, capacidades o características como producto de la formación socioeconómica, la costumbre y la voluntad, la neurociencia contemporánea sitúa directamente la moralidad en el cerebro.
