Blessed Are the Free in Spirit : A Journal in Complicated Times (English Edition) 4 févr. 2021

par S. R. Piccoli

( 1 )

7,11 €

I’d say that Blessed Are the Free in Spirit is a dialogue with myself about my understanding of and relationship with life. Existential, political, and philosophical issues—which are frequently recurrent in the book—are functional to wider self-knowledge and self-understanding.
Ours are times of intellectual chaos and moral relativism, if not nihilism, and everything seems on the verge of falling apart, as the events of the recent past in the U.S. and elsewhere, in case it was needed, have abundantly shown. The whole story of Covid-19 fits perfectly into this context, to the point of becoming an effective metaphor of the Zeitgeist, which is interwoven with individual and collective pursuits, aspirations, and ambitions that are so very often ill-conceived, short-sighted, and based on false premises. Yet, such an upside-down world is nevertheless our one and only world—and it is well worth fighting for, in spite of everything. In a small way and to some extent, this book is my contribution to the fight.
Like my previous book, Blessed Are the Contrarians, this one is a kind of diary of a journey through our time and back home again, where “home” stands for a deep sentiment of belonging to our own free and indomitable spirit, which is much stronger than the spirit of our times, however powerful and attractive it may be. Here, the reader will find a selection of some of the articles I posted on my blog—sometimes in essay form, sometimes as journal entries—over the last few years, those most suitable for this traditional mode of communication. In other words, this book is somehow none other than Part Two of Blessed Are the Contrarians.

Being Conservative from A to Z: An Anthology and Guide for Busy Conservative-Minded People (English Edition) 19 févr. 2019

par Samuel Robert Piccoli

( 4 )

4,41 € 7,01 €

This book, which could be described as an anthology of conservative analysis and insights on some key issues, is for readers who wish to acquaint themselves with conservative political thought and to get a critical and comparative perspective on what passes for political, social, economic, and cultural conservatism in their own time and place. The book is intended for both European and American readers. It provides readings from European and American thinkers, which besides may help to call attention to some of the peculiarities of American conservatives, who, for instance, believe in Progress even more than liberals do. Last but not least, as the subtitle reads, this volume wants to be a teaching tool and a guide “for busy conservative-minded people,” even though I must confess that I don’t know what “busy people”—whether conservative-minded or not—exactly means…

Breviario del giovane politico (Italian Edition) 19 févr. 2019

par S. R. Piccoli

( 1 )

4,00 € 4,21 €

Il tempo, da quel grande illusionista che è, può fare in modo che gli eventi della storia e della vita degli uomini appaiano di volta in volta come qualcosa di nuovo e originale. Ma si tratta, appunto, di un’illusione, perché in realtà la sostanza non cambia o cambia di poco. Quindi una profonda intelligenza della propria epoca è applicabile alle successive e utilmente se ne possono avvalere coloro che vengono dopo. Machiavelli, Guicciardini e il cardinal Mazzarino, di cui questo volumetto ripropone alcuni aspetti dell’insegnamento politico, il proprio tempo lo conobbero fin troppo bene, e dunque possono guidarci nel presente e nel futuro.
Questa è una piccola antologia ragionata e criticamente annotata, da cui emerge un strano miscuglio di realismo e levitas, per giunta espresso con uno stile letterario e in una lingua che non esistono... O forse qui una semplice “esercitazione di stile”, o un puro divertissement, sia pure – se si può dire – con qualche giustificazione nella natura stessa degli argomenti trattati, cioè nella loro intrinseca follia.

Blessed Are the Contrarians: Diary of a Journey Through Interesting Times (English Edition) 19 févr. 2019

par S. R. Piccoli

( 3 )

5,61 € 11,76 €

Blessed are the contrarians, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. But they must be very, very careful in these Interesting Times!
Contrarians are those who go against the current (as the dictionary states), who take opposing stands from the majority: in the stock markets they buy when others sell and vice-versa; in religious matters, if they are Christians, they continue to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, in spite of the Zeitgeist, and if they are not they have the utmost respect for what Christianity is all about and for its contribution to civilization. In matters of culture, education and lifestyles, they are “old-fashioned” while the rest of the world seems to be hell bent on transmuting order into chaos.
This book is a kind of diary of a journey through our time—politics, culture, lifestyles, worldviews, etc.—and back home again, where “home” stands for a sense of belonging to something stronger than the spirit of our times. In other words what this book represents is a sort of explanation—though not a systematic one—of why the Author disagrees with certain mainstream views in several domains. And this from a conservative and Christian point of view, that is to say the perspectives that come under severe attack from secular and progressive ideologies, the over-influential schools of thought of our time.
