La interpretación del mundo convoca pensadores y pensamientos, interpretaciones sobre algunos de los aspectos más relevantes de la condición humana en este cambio de siglo y de milenio. Cada uno de ellos se hace cargo de un ámbito de experiencia; en su conjunto conforman un mapa de los nuevos cursos teóricos y prácticos, de aquellos rumbos por los que el mundo, para bien y para mal, se transforma. Cursos y rumbos que no son patrimonio del especialista: a todos afectan, a todos interesan. En este libro, homogéneo y plural, los autores ejercen su derecho a la interpretación y hacen justicia -hermenéutica y crítica- a un mundo que expone de diversas formas su incertidumbre y su interés.

Se realiza una exhaustiva contextualización antropológica del arquetipo de la Diosa vasca Mari, y se interpreta la cuestión vasca en categorías antropológico-culturales, partiendo del sustrato cultural preindoeuropeo en el que se ubica la tradicional cultura vasca, que se define como matriarcal-naturalista y comunalista frente al patriarcal-racionalismo individualista posterior.
From the books and heretics burnt on the pyres of the Inquisition to self-immolations at protest rallies, from the massive burning of oil on the global scale to inflammatory speech, from the imagery of revolutionary sparks ready to ignite the spirits of the oppressed to car bombings in the Middle East, fire proves to be an indispensable element of the political.

Relying on classical political theory, literature, theology, contemporary philosophy, and an analysis of current events, Michael Marder argues that geo-politics, or the politics of the Earth, has always had an unstable, at once shadowy and blinding, underside—pyropolitics, or the politics of fire. If this obscure double of geopolitics is, increasingly, dictating the rules of the game today, then it is crucial to learn to speak its language, to discern its manifestations, and to project where our world ablaze is heading.
This is the first bibliography of Postmodernism to take account of work published in all subject areas and in all languages. Deborah Madsen has identified a new first occurrence of the term in 1926, preceding by more than twenty years the first occurence documented by the Oxford English Dictionary.
