NATO's Meaning and Existence: Within the Interstate Intersubjectivity (Vernon Press, 2026) a forthcoming 2026 book by Yunus Emre Ozigci, offers a deep analysis of NATO's identity and role, suggesting it's stuck in bureaucratic inertia despite modern crises, aiming to redefine its purpose through exploring shared identity and transformation, particularly in the context of Russia's actions. This scholarly work uses intersubjectivity to understand how NATO's internal dynamics and external relations, especially concerning the Ukraine conflict, shape its meaning beyond mere military power, potentially moving beyond traditional IR theories to explore collective identity and systemic challenges. In NATO's Meaning and Existence: Within the Interstate Intersubjectivity (2026), Ozigci treats NATO as an intersubjective phenomenon rather than an objective entity. To him, NATO “does not exist objectively” but rather appears “meaningfully through intersubjective recognition.” His skillful integration of philosophical innovations from such thinkers as Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, and Jean-Paul Sartre supports his deep insights into Kenneth Waltz's structural interpretations of the balance of power, John Mearsheimer's offensive realism, and Robert Keohane's complex interdependence and invites readers to reconsider how alliances exist beyond the surface of policy and power. This work reminds us that NATO's real strength does not necessarily come from being the most efficient military structure in the world, promoting those who excel at following orders, but rather from its ingenuity, resourcefulness, and unity of purpose. His study provides a rare synthesis of diplomatic experience and philosophical depth, inviting readers to reconsider how alliances exist beyond the surface of policy and power. This is an original, meticulously argued, and intellectually stimulating contribution to both NATO studies and the philosophy of international relations. Piotr Pietrzak, Ph.D. -- In Statu Nascendi Think Tank Yunus Emre Ozigci holds a PhD degree in Political Sciences from the Université catholique de Louvain. He graduated from the Galatasaray University (International relations) and completed his MA studies at the University of Ankara (International relations). His research interests and publications cover the IR theory and phenomenology. Since 2000, he has been working as a diplomat in the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served, besides various departments of the Ministry, in Algeria, Belgium, Switzerland and Russia. Currently, he is the First Counsellor of the Turkish Embassy in Nairobi and Deputy Permanent Representative to UNON (UNEP and UN-Habitat).

When Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado gave her Nobel "Peace" Prize to warmonger Donald Trump to thank him for bombing her country, it showed how the prize is a tool of war that serves Western foreign policy interests.

In his influential Anti-Semite and Jew, French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre observed "If the Jew did not exist, the anti-Semite would invent him." In doing so he articulated the figure of an Antisemite responsible for imagining the Jew in a formulation that has lasted for decades. This figure became an indispensable trope in the period immediately after the war. It enabled Germans and Austrians to navigate a radically changed political and cultural landscape and reestablish lives upended by war by denying complicity in perpetuating antisemitic ideology. The deeply ingrained cultural practices that formed the basis for age-old prejudices against Jews persisted via coded references, taking new forms, and providing fertile ground for explicit eruptions.  Decades before the Nazi persecution of the Jews would emerge as a master moral paradigm of evil in popular culture, the constructed Antisemite became part of a forceful narrative structure that allowed stereotypes about Jews to persist, even as explicit antisemitism became taboo. Lisa Silverman examines the crucial development and implications of the figural Antisemite in a range of trials, films, and texts during the first years after the end of the Second World War. She argues that, in their economically shattered, emotionally exhausted, and culturally impoverished postwar world, Austrians, Germans, and others used the Antisemite as a way to come to terms with their altered circumstances and to shape new national self-understandings.  A readily recognizable and easily adaptable figure of evil, the Antisemite loomed large as a powerful and persistent trope in a wide range of artistic and cultural narratives. As a figure onto which to project or imagine as a source of the hatred of Jews, the Antisemite allowed audiences to avoid facing the implications of crimes committed by the Nazis and their accomplices and to deny the endurance of widespread and often coded antisemitic prejudices. In postwar Europe, where everyone looked to blame others for the murder and dispossession of the Jewish population, the authority to define the Antisemite as a receptacle for explicit Jew-hatred became a powerful force. As The Postwar Antisemite argues, antisemitism as a hidden code gained new force, packing stronger, more effective punches and affording its users more power. This era is critical to understanding ongoing struggles over the authority to set the parameters of antisemitism and the power and persistence of this hatred in society.

In his influential Anti-Semite and Jew, French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre observed "If the Jew did not exist, the anti-Semite would invent him." In doing so he articulated the figure of an Antisemite responsible for imagining the Jew in a formulation that has lasted for decades. This figure became an indispensable trope in the period immediately after the war. It enabled Germans and Austrians to navigate a radically changed political and cultural landscape and reestablish lives upended by war by denying complicity in perpetuating antisemitic ideology. The deeply ingrained cultural practices that formed the basis for age-old prejudices against Jews persisted via coded references, taking new forms, and providing fertile ground for explicit eruptions.  Decades before the Nazi persecution of the Jews would emerge as a master moral paradigm of evil in popular culture, the constructed Antisemite became part of a forceful narrative structure that allowed stereotypes about Jews to persist, even as explicit antisemitism became taboo. Lisa Silverman examines the crucial development and implications of the figural Antisemite in a range of trials, films, and texts during the first years after the end of the Second World War. She argues that, in their economically shattered, emotionally exhausted, and culturally impoverished postwar world, Austrians, Germans, and others used the Antisemite as a way to come to terms with their altered circumstances and to shape new national self-understandings.  A readily recognizable and easily adaptable figure of evil, the Antisemite loomed large as a powerful and persistent trope in a wide range of artistic and cultural narratives. As a figure onto which to project or imagine as a source of the hatred of Jews, the Antisemite allowed audiences to avoid facing the implications of crimes committed by the Nazis and their accomplices and to deny the endurance of widespread and often coded antisemitic prejudices. In postwar Europe, where everyone looked to blame others for the murder and dispossession of the Jewish population, the authority to define the Antisemite as a receptacle for explicit Jew-hatred became a powerful force. As The Postwar Antisemite argues, antisemitism as a hidden code gained new force, packing stronger, more effective punches and affording its users more power. This era is critical to understanding ongoing struggles over the authority to set the parameters of antisemitism and the power and persistence of this hatred in society.

In this podcast we will be talking about 8 Life Lessons from Jean-Paul Sartre. Sartre was one of the leading philosophers who followed the philosophy of Existentialism.  One of Sartre's key-concepts that is discussed or prevalent in almost all of his existentialist works is the notion of “Bad Faith”, which he uses to describe and critique how most people tend to deny their own freedom. Alongside his notion of Bad Faith, Sartre has discussed many aspects of existentialism and ideas on human life that are extremely helpful. So with that in mind, in this video we bring you 8 important life lessons derived from the works of Sartre.  01. Dare to act 02. Face your freedom 03. Take responsibility  04. Set an example 05. Embrace your fears 06. Don't let others define you 07. Don't follow a doctrine  08. Embrace your nothingness  I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope these 8 Life Lessons From Sartre will add value to your life.  Jean-Paul Sartre was a French playwright, screenwriter, political activist, literary critic, and one of the leading philosophers who followed the philosophy of Existentialism: the philosophy that says that humans are born a blank slate and are free to determine their own identity, behavior and goals. Sartre was born in Paris at the beginning of the twentieth century and when he was around sixty years old, he was awarded the1964 Nobel Prize in Literature. He however refused the prize, claiming that “a writer should never allow himself to become an institution.” Sartre wrote many fictional and non-fictional books, essays and gave lectures on Existentialism. Some of his noted works are: Nausea, Being and Nothingness, Existentialism is a Humanism, and No Exit.

Varenda detalj är noga när det gäller att bära frack på rätt sätt, för att inte trampa snett i salongerna. Inte minst under Nobelfestligheterna. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. I veckans program ska vi syna männens allra mesta festplagg i sömmarna, fracken. Skörtens längd, flugans färg, kragens styvhet, byxornas revärer, knapparnas utformning, strumpornas material och längd och skornas stil och klackhöjd, inget får lämnas åt slumpen för den som ska besöka nobelbanketten. Men somliga pristagare har vågat vägra frack. I alla fall en. Jean Paul Sartre tackade nej till Nobelpriset i litteratur 1964. Han sade sig värna om sin frihet och vägrade att ta emot officiella utmärkelser överhuvudtaget. Trots Alfred Nobels framgångar har han som person sedan länge beskrivits som deprimerad enstöring. Men sparade fakturor, anteckningar och kvitton visar på en helt annan verklighet: nämligen 25 extravaganta år i Paris.Helena Höjenberg är författare till boken Alfred Nobel i Paris där en alldeles ny Nobel presenteras: en Nobel som är levnadsglad, generös – och ytterst fashionabel, med en garderob fylld till brädden av skräddarsydda snitt och exklusiva material. Lalle Johnson har sedan början av 80-talet varit en central figur inom modevärlden – som modell, stylist och stilrådgivare. Han dyker ofta upp på listor över landets bäst klädda män och är en självklar stilreferens för många.

Dans toute l'histoire du prix Nobel, deux hommes seulement ont pris la décision — libre, assumée, publique — de refuser l'une des distinctions les plus prestigieuses au monde : Jean-Paul Sartre en 1964 et Lê Duc Tho en 1973. Deux refus très différents, mais qui disent chacun quelque chose d'essentiel sur leur époque et sur leurs convictions.Le premier à franchir ce pas radical est Jean-Paul Sartre, philosophe et écrivain français, figure majeure de l'existentialisme. En 1964, l'Académie suédoise lui décerne le prix Nobel de littérature pour l'ensemble de son œuvre. La réaction de Sartre est immédiate : il refuse le prix. Non par modestie, mais par principe. Sartre a toujours refusé les distinctions officielles, estimant que l'écrivain doit rester libre, non récupéré par le pouvoir, les institutions ou la notoriété. Pour lui, accepter un prix comme le Nobel reviendrait à « devenir une institution », ce qui contredisait son engagement politique et intellectuel.Il avait d'ailleurs prévenu l'Académie, avant même l'annonce, qu'il ne souhaitait pas être nommé. Cela ne change rien : il est proclamé lauréat malgré lui. Sartre refuse alors publiquement, dans un geste retentissant. Ce refus est souvent perçu comme l'expression ultime d'une cohérence : l'écrivain engagé qui refuse d'être couronné. Ce geste, unique dans l'histoire de la littérature, marque durablement la réputation du philosophe, admiré ou critiqué pour son intransigeance.Neuf ans plus tard, c'est au tour de Lê Duc Tho, dirigeant vietnamien et négociateur lors des Accords de Paris, de refuser le prix Nobel de la paix. Le prix lui est attribué conjointement avec l'Américain Henry Kissinger pour les négociations qui auraient dû mettre fin à la guerre du Vietnam. Mais pour Lê Duc Tho, il n'y a pas de paix à célébrer. Les hostilités se poursuivent, les bombardements aussi. Refuser le Nobel devient alors un acte politique : il déclare ne pouvoir accepter un prix de la paix tant que la paix n'est pas réellement obtenue.Contrairement à Sartre, son refus n'est pas motivé par un principe personnel, mais par une analyse de la situation géopolitique. Son geste est moins philosophique que stratégique, mais tout aussi historique. Il reste le seul lauréat de la paix à avoir décliné le prix.Ces deux refus, rares et spectaculaires, rappellent que le prix Nobel, pourtant considéré comme l'une des plus hautes distinctions humaines, peut devenir un terrain d'expression politique ou morale. Sartre par conviction, Lê Duc Tho par cohérence historique : deux gestes, deux époques, deux refus qui ont marqué l'histoire du prix. Hébergé par Acast.

Thinking of the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, it is hard to think of him without imagining him in very particular contexts. One will likely imagine him in a Parisian cafe working through a pack of cigarettes and coffee, working on his latest play while waiting for his friend Pierre to arrive. His theories of freedom against the temptations of bad faith are thought to be theories of writers and activists, resisters of occupation. But while this is no doubt a central part of his thinking, it misses another context he was very much interested in: the clinic. While he was not an orthodox Freudian or trained analyst, he was deeply interested in many of the questions that psychoanalysts are also interested in, and this intersection proved to be very productive, generating thousands of pages of lesser known works. This is what Mary Edwards, philosophy lecturer at Cardiff University, has written about in her new book Sartre's Existential Psychoanalysis: Knowing Others (Bloomsbury, 2022). Working through Sartre's output from beginning to end, it first sets the stage with his early claims about the nature of the self and the possibility of knowing a person. From there, it works to his later works, in particular his voluminous yet unfinished biography of Gustave Flaubert, where Edwards finds Sartre developing and applying a very particular method of understanding a person while nonetheless maintaining a respect for their free nature. While Sartre never completed his intended project, Edwards finds his attempt suggestive for rethinking life both in and beyond the clinic. Learn more about your ad choices.

Never trust anyone who tries to be ethically pure. This is the message of Albert Camus's short novel La Chute (The Fall), in which a retired French lawyer tells a stranger in a bar in Amsterdam about a series of incidents that led to a profound personal crisis. The self-described ‘judge-penitent' had once thought himself to be morally irreproachable, but an encounter with a woman on a bridge and a mysterious laugh left him tormented by a sense of hypocrisy. In this episode, Jonathan and James follow Camus's slippery hero as he tries and fails to undergo a moral revolution, and look at the ways in which the novel's lightness of style allows for twisted inversions of conventional morality. They also consider the similarities between Camus's novels and those of Simone de Beauvoir, and his fractious relationship with Jean-Paul Sartre.

In dialogo” a cura di Gabriella Belli e Giovanni Carlo Federico Villa. Un eccezionale percorso espositivo concepito per accostare l'arte di due grandi pittori veneziani, ciascuno tra i massimi interpreti della propria epoca – Jacomo Robusti detto il Tintoretto (Venezia, 1518-1594) ed Emilio Vedova (Venezia, 1919-2006) – letti in parallelo, così da affrontare lo sviluppo dell'opera di Vedova nel suo confronto con quello che è stato il maestro d'elezione, indagando similitudini e temi consonanti (o dissonanti) alla base delle singole scelte espressive.Tintoretto è stato fondativo per la formazione artistica di Vedova e la mostra a Palazzo Madama sottolinea l'impeto e la forza dell'articolato rapporto che lega i due artisti attraverso l'accostamento di capolavori del maestro rinascimentale e dell'artista informale. Il progetto dell'esposizione prende avvio dalla straordinaria opportunità di ospitare a Torino una delle opere conclusive, e paradigmatiche, della parabola umana e artistica di Tintoretto: l'Autoritratto del 1588, in prestito dal Musée du Louvre. Una tela che è stata più di un modello iconografico, rappresentando, come si evince dalle interpretazioni di Edouard Manet – che la replica e la considera il più bel quadro al mondo – e dagli scritti di Jean-Paul Sartre, una sorta di identificazione poetica e concettuale per molti artisti.  Tintoretto è infatti l'interprete di una narrazione pittorica capace di arrivare al nostro tempo mettendo insieme “Il disegno di Michelangelo, e il colorito di Tiziano”, esaltato nel corso dei secoli dal genio romantico dell'inglese Ruskin (1819-1900) – “non sono mai stato così completamente annichilito di fronte a una mente umana come lo sono stato oggi, di fronte a Tintoretto” – e dalle penne di Goethe, Stendhal o Henry James. Scriveva Emilio Vedova rispetto al suo grande maestro: “Tintoretto è stato una mia identificazione. Quello spazio appunto una sede di accadimenti. Quella regia a ritmi sincopati e cruenti, magmatici di energie di fondi interni di passioni di emotività commossa (…)”E per Vedova Tintoretto è la quotidianità di una consuetudine con Chiese, Scuole e Palazzi di Venezia in cui cercare e trovare il proprio Maestro, l'unico che gli rivela il segreto per trasformare la tecnica da merostrumento espressivo di belle forme in una lama affilata capace di incidere nella storia. Da lui Vedova trae ispirazione per temi e contenuti, ricava basilari insegnamenti per dominare lo spazio della tela, tradurre in colore la luce delle sue composizioni, modellare nel gesto rapido senza esitazioni le forme, che scaturiscono dal suo nuovo segno, che già nel 1948 lascia ogni tentazione figurativa per risolversi nell'astrazione. Giungendo infine alla sequenza indimenticabile dell'opera …in continuum, compenetrazioni/traslati '87/'88 riprova di quanto l'incontro di una vita abbia reso grande anche il discepolo, gli abbia offerto lo slancio necessario per andare oltre. La mostra Vedova Tintoretto. In dialogo, allestita nell'Aula del Senato del Regno d'Italia, presenta una cinquantina di capolavori tra tele di Emilio Vedova e opere di Tintoretto quali le clamorose ancone dei Camerlenghi, straordinario prestito dalle Gallerie dell'Accademia di Venezia o, ancora, alcune delle opere del celeberrimo ciclo delle Metamorfosi ora conservate alle Gallerie Estensi di Modena. Il serrato dialogo tra i due artisti si sviluppa a partire dai disegni giovanili di Vedova del 1936 passando per le tele degli anni Quaranta e Cinquanta dedicate alla riflessione su dipinti di Tintoretto quali la Moltiplicazione dei pani e dei pesci (da Tintoretto) (1942), La crocifissione (da Tintoretto) (1947), (studio da Sogno di San Marco di Tintoretto) (1956), e a quelle degli anni Ottanta. A completare il dialogo e l'esposizione è Vedova con la monumentale installazione …in continuum, compenetrazione/traslati '87/'88: più di cento grandi tele, assemblate le une con le altre in uno sviluppo che sfiderà la verticalità della sala del Senato, testimonianza dell'evoluzione di Vedova che continua con potenza visionaria il suo confronto col maestro ideale.Catalogo della mostra "Vedova Tintoretto.

Genesis 1:26-31 Our Design (v. 26) We are representative of God We are responsible to God Our Dominion (v. 27-28) Manage the Earth Maintain the Earth Gods Supply (vv. 29-30) He provided for our care He provided for what we care for Gods Satisfaction (v. 31) Beautiful Bountiful Blessed More to Consider The French Mathematician, Lecompte de Nouy, examined the laws of probability for a single molecule of high dissymmetry to be formed by the action of chance. De Nouy found that, on an average, the time needed to form one such molecule of our terrestrial globe would be about 10 to the 253 power, i.e. billions of years. "But," continued de Nouy ironically, "let us admit that no matter how small the chance it could happen, one molecule could be created by such astronomical odds of chance. However, one molecule is of no use. Hundreds of millions of identical ones are necessary. Thus we either admit the miracle or doubt the absolute truth of science." Quoted in; "Is Science Moving Toward Belief in God?" Paul A. Fisher, The Wanderer, (Nov 7, 1985), cited in Kingdoms In Conflict, C. Colson, p. 66. Near the end of his life, Jean-Paul Sartre told Pierre Victor: "I do not feel that I am the product of chance, a speck of dust in the universe, but someone who was expected, prepared, prefigured. In short, a being whom only a Creator could put here; and this idea of a creating hand refers to God." HIS Magazine, April, 1983. It is absurd for the Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything. G.K. Chesterton The yearning to know what cannot be known, to comprehend the incomprehensible, to touch and taste the unapproachable, arises from the image of God in the nature of man. Deep calleth unto deep, and though polluted and landlocked by the mighty disaster theologians call the Fall, the soul senses its origin and longs to return to its source. A.W. Tozer God, who needs nothing, loves into existence wholly superfluous creatures in order that He may love and perfect them. He creates the universe, already foreseeing - or should we say "seeing"? there are no tenses in God - the buzzing cloud of flies about the cross, the flayed back pressed against the uneven stake, the nails driven through the mesial nerves, the repeated incipient suffocation as the body droops, the repeated torture of back and arms as it is time after time, for breath's sake, hitched up. If I may dare the biological image, God is a "host" who deliberately creates His own parasites; causes us to be that we may exploit and "take advantage of" Him. Herein is love. This is the diagram of Love Himself, the inventor of all loves. C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

What is an emotion? In his Sketches for a Theory of the Emotions (1939), Sartre picks up what William James, Martin Heidegger and others had written about this question to suggest what he believed to be a new thought on human emotion and its relation to consciousness. For Sartre, the emotions are not external forces acting upon consciousness but an action of consciousness as it tries to rearrange the world to suit itself, or as he puts it at the end of his book: a sudden fall of consciousness into magic. In this episode Jonathan and James discuss why Sartre's rejection of the idea of the subconscious is not as much a departure from Freud's theories as he thought they were, and the ways in which his attempt to establish a ‘phenomenological psychology' manifested in other works, including Nausea, Being and Nothingness and The Words.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961), who was part of the movement known as phenomenology. While less well-known than his contemporaries Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, his popularity has increased among philosophers in recent years. Merleau-Ponty rejected Rene Descartes' division between body and mind, arguing that the way we perceive the world around us cannot be separated from our experience of inhabiting a physical body. Merleau-Ponty was interested in the down-to-earth question of what it is actually like to live in the world. While performing actions as simple as brushing our teeth or patting a dog, we shape the world and, in turn, the world shapes us.
