Meta-anthropology of the history of the 21st century. The author sets out his philosophical perspective on the causes and aftermath of the war in Ukraine through the prism of the meta-anthropology of history, drawing on the biblical parable of David and Goliath to clarify the dichotomy between the new humanism and neo-totalitarianism. The new humanism is not just an ideology or a practice of sympathy for the afflicted, especially in war, but is expressed in an effective and wise understanding of the Other that prevents death and destruction. Most importantly, the new humanism must actually prevent and stop crimes against ... |

Метаантропология истории XXI века. Автор излагает свой философский взгляд на причины и последствия войны в Украине сквозь призму метаантропологии истории, опираясь на библейскую притчу о Давиде и Голиафе, чтобы прояснить противостояние нового гуманизма и неототалитаризма. Новый гуманизм является не только идеологией или практикой сочувствия к пострадавшим, особенно на войне, но и выражается в действенном и мудром понимании Другого, которое предупреждает смерти и разрушения. И самое главное, новый гуманизм должен реально предупреждать и останавливать преступления против человечности. И, более того, войну против ... |

Throughout history, people have sought to improve society by reducing suffering, eliminating disease or enhancing desirable qualities in their children. But this wish goes hand in hand with the desire to impose control over who can marry, who can procreate and who is permitted to live. In the Victorian era, in the shadow of Darwin's ideas about evolution, a new full-blooded attempt to impose control over our unruly biology began to grow in the clubs, salons and offices of the powerful. It was enshrined in a political movement that bastardised science, and for sixty years enjoyed bipartisan and huge popular support. ... |

Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified.

The rules of an infinite game are changeable while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers-only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to ... |

A Moonshot Guide to Changing Capitalism. Even before the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, capitalism was stuck. It had no answers to a host of problems, including disease, inequality, the digital divide and, perhaps most blatantly, the environmental crisis. Taking her inspiration from the "moonshot" programmes which successfully coordinated public and private sectors on a massive scale, Mariana Mazzucato calls for the same level of boldness and experimentation to be applied to the biggest problems of our time. We must, she argues, rethink the capacities and role of government within the economy and society, and ... |
