Immanuel Kants tænkning var oplysningstidens højdepunkt, måske er han faktisk den vigtigste moderne tænker overhovedet. Nu fejrer Information hans 300 års fødselsdag med en forrygende essaysamling. Kants filosofiske arbejde er så moderne, at det ikke giver mening, at søge ”tilbage” til Kants tænkning, for vi er stort set ikke kommet videre. I årene fra 1780 til 1790 gennemførte Immanuel Kant et så radikalt opgør med filosofien, at det i hans nekrolog stod skrevet, at hans revolution af tænkningen var større og væsentligere end Den Franske Revolution. I løbet af de ti år skrev han tre såkaldte kritikker, som er blevet fundament for den moderne moralfilosofi, erkendelsesteori og æstetiske tænkning, Kritik af den Rene Fornuft (anden udgave 1787), Kritik af den Praktiske Fornuft (1788) og Kritik af Dømmekraften (1790). I denne bog forklarer Rune Lykkeberg, Lea Ypi og en række andre markante tænkere Kants filosofi for et større publikum. Rune Lykkeberg (f. 1974) er chefredaktør på Dagbladet Information og udkom i henholdsvis 2022 og 2023 med første og anden sæson af Langsomme samtaler. Har tidligere udgivet Kampen om sandhederne (2008), Alle har ret (2012), Deutschstunde (red. s.m. Peter Nielsen, 2017), Vesten mod Vesten (2019), Hegel for et større publikum (red. 2020) og Samtaler om Shakespeare (2021). Han har bl.a. modtaget Georg Brandes-prisen, De Berlingske Journalisters Pris og Holbergmedaljen.

With current surging polarities of perspectives, dangerous culture wars and immanent threats to the human social and ecological fabric, it is a good time to rediscover the true meaning of fear through the eyes of a creative and endearingly outrageous educator who taught ¿Fear is not the enemy.¿ Through a combination of fi ction and non-fiction, this book offers a fi rst documentation of the philosophy and story of Samuel Nathan Gillian Jr. (1939-2006), an African-American educator-activist from the Bronx, New York. Fisher takes readers on a journey of growth and development with a protagonist named Deana, a sophomore college student, as she comes to understand the radical importance of her Uncle Sammy¿s life and work. Embellished with the intellectual rigor of a biography of a wise man, Fisher tracks his own relationship and those who knew and loved Samuel as the tension grows to a pitch in the story. Yet, the real brilliance lies in the psychological, philosophical and spiritual twists Sam Gillian brought forward in two stunning books on fear (2002, 2005) that this book revives. Fisher, who has studied fear systematically since 1989, has never met a unique thinker like Sam Gillian. Through Fisher¿s eyes, the special signifi cance of Gillian¿s work is brought to the general and well-educated reading public. An essential book for post-secondary education on fear management, a resource guide for school teachers, parents, psychologists, policy makers and anyone who seeks to help humanity establish a sustainable, moral and healthy relationship with fear.

Født til Fiasko - en social tabers lange vandring er Peter Williams hudløst ærlige fortælling om en opvækst i et barsk miljø i London. Hvor ingen troede på, han nogensinde ville blive andet end endnu en kriminel bølle. Og en fortælling om at arbejde som roadie for blandt andre Sex Pistols og Smokie. Køre Europa tynd i lastbil. Være eftertragtet britisk DJ på danske diskoteker i 80’erne. Få et barn i Danmark og kæmpe en bitter kamp om forældremyndigheden. Og trods alle odds lande i en tryg, kærlighedsfuld og sikker havn i sidste halvdel af livet. Som blot 11-årig bliver Peter Williams arresteret for første gang. Han er vokset op i et havnekvarter i 60’ernes London, og det var den sikre vej til en kriminel løbebane. Selv hans forældre var overbeviste om, at Peter ville ende bag tremmer. Et nyt socialt eksperiment for unge kriminelle i London i 1974 blev imidlertid et vendepunkt for den unge Peter, der godt nok stjal et pengeskab under sit ophold på The Hammersmith Teenage Project, som det sociale eksperiment blev døbt, men som også kom på en strabadserende vandretur, der ændrede hans livssyn.I september 2018 gik han samme vandretur. Han vidste ikke helt hvorfor, måske for at ære en nylig afdød medarbejder på The Hammersmith Teenage Project, der troede på ham i Peters unge år og hjalp ham bort fra den ellers udstukne vej til et liv bag tremmer? Måske for endnu bedre at forstå, hvem han var? I så fald lykkedes det. For første gang nogensinde slap Peter Williams nemlig sin evige anklage mod sig selv over at have brugt alt for meget af sit liv på vrede, slagsmål, opgør og vold, og i stedet lod han sin underbevidsthed tilgive ham.
