Discover 'The Political Vocation of Philosophy' by Donatella Di Cesare, a thought-provoking exploration that urges philosophy to reclaim its vital role in the political arena. This compelling book sheds light on the challenges of contemporary globalized capitalism and the necessity for philosophy to engage actively in addressing societal issues. In the aftermath of Socrates' legacy, Di Cesare argues that philosophy must reconnect with its foundational political roots, dating back to ancient Greece, to regain its powerful and enlightening potential.

Delving into radical existentialism and a refreshing outlook on anarchism, this book asserts that philosophy has always possessed a political vocation. Di Cesare's passionate discourse critiques the disengagement of philosophy from political discourse, emphasizing the importance of dissent and critique in our current times. Philosophers are called to forge alliances with marginalized groups, advocating for the oppressed and the voiceless.

Ideal for students, scholars, and the philosophically curious, 'The Political Vocation of Philosophy' is a vital read for anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy and politics in our interconnected world. Join the discourse and rediscover the urgency of philosophy's role in today's society.

Description:


It is time for philosophy to return to the city. In today™s crisis-ridden world of globalised capitalism, increasingly closed in on itself, it may seem harder than ever to think of ways out. Philosophy runs the risk of becoming the handmaiden of science and of a hollowed-out democracy. Donatella Di Cesare calls on philosophy instead to return to the political fray and to the city, the global pĂłlis, from which it was banished after the death of Socrates.


Suggesting a radical existentialism and a new anarchism, Di Cesare shows that Western philosophy has been characterised by a political vocation ever since its origins in ancient Greece, and argues that the separation of philosophy from its political roots robs it of its most valuable and enlightening potential. But critique and dissent are no longer enough. Mindful of a defeated exile and an inner emigration, philosophers should return to politics and forge an alliance with the poor and the downtrodden.


This passionate defence of the political relevance of philosophy and its radical potential in our globalised world will be of great interest to students and scholars of philosophy and to a wide general readership.

A Skin Barrier Savior for Irritated, Pore-Prone Skin
Size: 1.35 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Cicaplast Baume B5 Balm
This cream has honestly become one of my skincare essentials. My skin gets easily irritated and reactive, and this balm calms everything down almost overnight. It really helps reduce redness, dryness, and that tight uncomfortable feeling after using active products. I also noticed my skin looks smoother and healthier overall, and even my pores appear less noticeable because my skin barrier is finally balanced and hydrated. The texture is a little thicker than a regular moisturizer, so I prefer using a thinner layer during the day, especially under makeup. But at night, it works beautifully as a repairing treatment. Gentle, effective, and definitely worth the hype!

Good stuff
Size: 1.35 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Cicaplast Baume B5 Balm
This is a great rescue cream. No fragrance. Non-greasy. Lightweight. Application is easy. Helps with rashes, dryness, and redness, and feels great. The product itself gets 10 stars. The Amazon price, on the other hand, is not the best. I found it at a local store $2 cheaper. And still, for the size the price is high.

I as well as my 6 year old use and like
Size: 1.35 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Cicaplast Baume B5 Balm
This balm has been amazing for dry and irritated skin. I started using it on rough patches around my nose and cheeks, and it helped calm everything down quickly. The texture is thick but it absorbs better than I expected. A little goes a long way, so the tube lasts quite a while. I also like that it does not have a strong fragrance that irritates sensitive skin. It works well under makeup and overnight as a treatment. I will definitely keep repurchasing this because it has become a staple in my skincare routine.

52, Post-Menopausal Dry Skin — This Is My Barrier Emergency Product
Size: 1.35 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Cicaplast Baume B5 Balm, Size: 1.35 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Cicaplast Baume B5 Balm
I’m 52 with post-menopausal, mature dry skin, and this is not something I use casually or every day — it’s what I reach for when my skin barrier is compromised and needs real help. When my skin is irritated, over-exfoliated, reacting to actives, or feeling tight and inflamed, I don’t want glow or anti-aging claims. I want calm, protection, and repair. This balm delivers exactly that. The texture is rich and occlusive, but not greasy or suffocating. It melts into the skin and immediately takes the edge off irritation — that tight, uncomfortable feeling just stops. Within minutes, redness looks calmer, dryness is softened, and my skin feels protected rather than coated. It creates a breathable barrier that actually stays put overnight, which is especially important on mature skin that loses moisture quickly. What I appreciate most is that this works with my existing routine instead of competing with it. I use growth factors, peptides, and treatment serums regularly, and when my skin needs a reset, this seals everything in without stinging or interfering. I’ve used it after retinoids, during periods of sensitivity, and when my skin simply feels fragile — and it consistently helps restore balance. That said, if you have very oily skin or are looking for a lightweight daytime moisturizer or a dewy “glass skin” finish, this probably isn’t the product for you. This is a true treatment balm, designed for barrier repair rather than cosmetic glow. This is not a glow cream, a makeup primer, or a lightweight moisturizer, and that’s exactly why it’s so effective. It’s a true barrier balm. On my dry, post-menopausal skin, it reduces flaking, minimizes irritation, and helps my skin recover faster so I can get back to my normal routine without setbacks. With so many skincare products making big promises, this one quietly does its job — and does it extremely well. If you have mature, dry, or reactive skin and need something reliable for barrier repair, this earns its place. It’s not exciting, it’s not trendy — it’s just very, very effective.

Lightweight SPF that layers well under makeup
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen feels much lighter than many high-SPF formulas I’ve tried and blends into the skin without leaving a heavy white cast. The texture spreads easily and gives a hydrated finish without feeling greasy, which makes it comfortable for everyday wear on both the face and body. I also liked that it layered well under makeup without pilling. I used this during long outdoor days and it held up well while still feeling comfortable on the skin. The SPF 60 protection is reassuring, especially for travel, beach days, festivals, or daily sun exposure. Overall, this is a reliable sunscreen option if you want strong protection with a more wearable, skincare-like texture.
