Sobre IBD

Why does life in society make us so unhappy? Why has civilization always been marked with social unrest? From the time of Plato, our greatest thinkers have understood that in order to confront the ills of the city, one must first look to the individual, to the maladies and discontents of the human soul. In this novel reading of Plato’s Republic, the insights of Nietzsche and Freud are brought to bear on one of western civilization’s most important texts. But what is at stake is far more than our interpretation of the Republic. City of Man will leave readers better equipped to face the crises that confront us today by reintroducing the import of that oft-quoted but rarely practiced Delphic maxim: know thyself.

Made up of forty fragments which interrogate the oddity and perversity of human desire, this work should also be read as a kind of ladder, a climax that takes a bit longer, not bec...

  • The Mask of Memnon
    Jean-Luc Beauchard
    What gives life its meaning? This question stands behind every philosophical inquiry, and philosophy itself arises from it. Confronting the problem of meaning is, as Camus says, the fundamental task of human life. Yet at bottom, meaning is an aesthetical category. Meaning hinges on interpretation. It makes sense then to turn to art--and in particular the art form which deals mo...
