JAMES MILLER

Sócrates se pasó la vida sometiéndose a escrutinio y examinando las opiniones de otros. Su seguidor más conocido, Platón, arriesgó su reputación al ser tutor de un tirano. Diógenes llevaba una lampara y proclamaba estar buscando un hombre. La alianza de Aristoteles con Alejandro Magno presagia el complejo papel de Seneca en la corte de Neron. Agustin descubrio a Dios dentro de si mismo. Montaigne y Descartes indagaron sus mas profundas convicciones en una era de criminales guerras religiosas. Rousseau aspiraba a una vida de virtud perfecta. Kant elaboro un nuevo ideal de autonomia. Emerson predico un evangelio de autosuficiencia para una nueva nacion.Y Nietzsche intento unificar y reunir lo que es fragmento y enigma y temible azar en el hombre antes de sucumbir a la demencia.

Fundado en una amplísima investigación y en una audaz reinterpretación del hombre y sus textos, el libro constituye una sorprendente mirada a uno de los más influyentes filósofos del siglo XX. Describe cada fase de la travesía individual e intelectual de Foucault, desde su inicial interés en los sueños hasta su preocupación final por la sexualidad y la naturaleza de la identidad personal. Nos sitúa en los días culminantes del estructuralismo en París y en el caos de la rebelión de mayo de 1968; relata, entre otros, los debates de Foucault con Sartre y Derrida y sus encuentros con Chomsky y Habermas. Y, con revelaciones que han conmovido a los lectores de todo el mundo, propone el primer relato de las obsesiones de Foucault con la muerte, el suicidio, las drogas y el erotismo sadomasoquista incluso ante la amenaza del Sida en los años ochenta. "James Miller puede perturbar a algunos lectores por la manera en que habla de sexos y filosofía, Nietzsche y Sida, teorías del conocimiento y sadomasoquismo, pero al margen de estos contrastes, reconstruye una vida heroica, una vida que ilustra la noción desarrollada por Foucault de que la vida de un filósofo debe ser ejemplar y de que él mismo debe ser un amante de la sabiduría y un infatigable buscador de la verdad".

Who are we? How should we live? Professor James Miller introduces twelve great philosophers who dedicated their lives to answering these questions. From Plato, who risked his reputation to tutor a tyrant, to Seneca, the philosopher of temperance who accumulated one of the greatest fortunes in Rome, to Kant, who privately wrestled with hypochondria while publicly advocating arch-rationality, each had a unique approach to examining life. Here is a fascinating insight into the ideals that have guided us for centuries, and those who have fought passionately to live up to them.

Democracy today is widely regarded as an ideal form of government. Yet in practice it sometimes seems a sham, a political puppet show in which hidden elites pull all the strings. As trust in elected representatives around the world plunges, it is no wonder that democratic revolts have erupted from Cairo to Kiev and beyond in an effort to take back control.In this urgent and lively history, James Miller reminds us that democracy has always generated tensions and contradictions. Through philosophical debates and violent uprisings, it has been contested, corrupted, and refined. In different times and different places from ancient Athens to revolutionary France to post-war America its meaning has shifted in surprising ways. For over two thousand years, the world has experimented with democracy. But can it really work especially in complex modern societies?

Learn How to Live from Historys Greatest Thinkers Before the good life was reduced to a bottle of Prozac, it was philosophers who offered answers to the most fundamental questions about who we are and how to live well. In The Philosophical Life, James Miller returns to this vibrant tradition with short and spirited biographies of twelve famous thinkers, examining the interplay of their life and thought. From Plato, who risked his reputation to tutor a tyrant, to Kant, who wrestled with hypochondria while advocating arch-rationality in his writings, each thinker took their own unique approach to the good life, but often struggled to put their theories into practice.With a flair for rich anecdote, Miller provides a captivating insight into some of historys greatest thinkers and confirms the continuing relevance of philosophy today.

The powder was in the top cabinet, behind packs of organic barley and quinoa that we never use. I unwrapped the plastic and took out the bottle. I put on a pair of wash gloves and carefully unscrewed the lid, catching a faint whiff of something, thick, clotted and musty, like a crypt filled with dead spiders webs and moths wings. I took a tea spoon and scooped out a tiny pinch. It was a dull grey colour. Quick, I stirred it in. A brief fizz as it met the JD and Coke, then nothing. I added two ice cubes. This is a story about an Exploding Zombie Cock by the brilliant James Miller. What more do you need to know?! (If you really have to know more, it definitely lives up the title. And is a bit rude.)

In 1612, George Sinclair, an illegitimate son of a Caithness laird, became a Norwegian national hero. Along with almost 300 of his followers, Sinclair was killed in an ambush in Norway while marching to join the king of Swedens army. Sinclair has legendary status in Norway but has been almost totally forgotten at home, just as the memory of thousands of other Scots who served as mercenaries in the armies of Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries has faded into obscurity.In this book, James Miller tells how a considerable proportion of the able-bodied male population of Scotland at one time sought service on behalf of almost every dynasty and monarch on the continent. Some were fleeing from justice, others went to seek fame and fortune - and found it.

My girlfriend tried so hard to get me out this misery bubble, but she did not of my suicide thoughts. I kept these thoughts strictly confidential to myself, never hinting anyone about them. It was a pain in heart and soul; it was a pain that left no physical wound on my body; it was a pain that butchered my soul, and it was a pain that could be seen and felt by no one but me. I could not open up about my thoughts to my girlfriend because I knew she would discourage me from suicide.
