Machiavelli: Politics as an exercise of power
First Edition: July 2015
Machiavelli is the founder of modern political philosophy. In his conception,

of morality or religion and had as its aim the survival of the State. His thought scandalized the world for centuries, but it led to the secularization of this discipline.
Kant: What can we know? What should we do?
First Edition: June 2015
Kant is the most influential thinker
of the Modern Era. He set the limits of science and gave the subject the central role in the act of knowing. He postulated
a morality that obeyed only to the imperative “act in such a way that
your action may be a universal law.” It is the ultimate expression of the Enlightenment project.
