The Liberalism of Fear
Liberalism is widely mistaken as a comprehensive ideology of individual freedom. In truth, Judith Shklar argues, it is less ambitious but more vital: a fragile bulwark against cruelty. Available for the first time as a stand-alone work, with an illuminating foreword by Mark Lilla, Shklar’s Liberalism of Fear is a warning for our perilous moment.

L' estasi dell'ignoranza. La tradizione occidentale della non conoscenza
Perché inseguiamo l'ignoranza con lo stesso fervore con cui desideriamo conoscere? E cosa ci spinge a coprire le verità più scomode con racconti rassicuranti costruiti ad arte? In L'estasi dell'ignoranza, Mark Lilla esplora una pulsione tanto diffusa quanto raramente confessata: la volontà di non sapere. Contro il mito moderno che celebra trasparenza, informazione e conoscenza come valori indiscutibili, questo saggio mostra come l'ignoranza sia spesso una scelta attiva, emotiva, culturale e politica, profondamente radicata nella tradizione occidentale. Una scelta che risponde al bisogno di sentirci protetti da verità capaci di incrinare la nostra identità, le nostre credenze, la nostra idea di felicità. Muovendosi tra filosofia, letteratura, religione e psicoanalisi, Lilla costruisce un viaggio intellettuale nella "volontà di ignoranza". Dai miti antichi, come quello di Edipo, alle Confessioni di Sant'Agostino, da Nietzsche a Freud, prende forma una lunga storia di fuga dalla verità: tabù che limitano la curiosità, illusioni di innocenza, nostalgie per un passato immaginario, rifiuti ostinati dell'evidenza. Non semplici errori individuali, ma strategie collettive per rendere il mondo più sopportabile, anche a costo di deformarlo. Questa pulsione assume forme quotidiane: il cittadino che evita notizie scomode, il credente che difende un tabù pur intuendone l'origine, l'individuo che rifiuta una diagnosi o una responsabilità morale per non perdere l'equilibrio. Attualissimo, L'estasi dell'ignoranza illumina le radici profonde del cospirazionismo, del pensiero magico e delle semplificazioni ideologiche contemporanee; un invito a riconoscere quanto la fuga dalla realtà possa essere seducente, e quanto alto sia il prezzo che paghiamo quando scegliamo, consapevolmente, di non sapere.

Treason of the Intellectuals
Benda’s essay offers an incisive account of interwar Europe that ranges from the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche and Georges Sorel to the activities of Charles Maurras and Benito Mussolini. It also serves, however, as a remarkably timely warning against the seduction of modern intellectuals by tribal loyalties and antipathies.
