Many of the conclusions reached might be different depending on the indivi... more -
Berlin - Zoologischer Garten
by Andrej PoleevAls Bestiarien werden Textsammlungen des Mittelalters bezeichnet, in denen verschiedene Tierarten in ihren Eigenschaften beschrieben werden. Aus der Sicht mittelalterlich-christlicher Naturdeutung ist zoologische Verhaltensforschung immer auch Theologie: Das Tier wird stets unter der Perspektive seiner Deutungsfähigkeit gesehen, als "Lehrmittel", das den Menschen Moral lehrt und Gottes Heilsplan erläutert. Das Buch „Berlin - Zoologischer Garten“ folgt dieser Tradition: Es soll lehren und verdeut... more -
Recht auf Widerstand
by Andrej PoleevIm "Recht auf Widerstand" beschreibe ich an anschaulichen Beispielen das System des Unrechts, wie es tatsächlich aussieht, ohne es zu übertreiben oder etwas auszulassen; der Leser soll selbst über Wahrheitsgehalt meiner Darstellungen urteilen. Das Buch bildet eine gedankliche und historische Brücke zwischen "Berlin - Zoologischer Garten", das in den Jahren 2014 und 2015 verfasst wurde, und nachfolgenden Erscheinungen, d.h. nach der Veröffentl... more

What Does it Mean To Be Human?
by Bryan GouldIn the absence of divine direction, how do we decide for ourselves the behaviours that would best serve our own interests, and those of other creatures, and of the planet as a whole? What might we turn to and draw upon to help us in making our own rules and in establishing our own moral principles? -
JUSTICE IN YOUR COURT

You decide if and when schools can host religious clubs, whether churchowned businesses can use "volunteers" to do the tasks paid employees also perform, if the police can view your property from a helicopter without a search warrant, what limitations the government can place on free speech, who was primarily negl... more -
ETERNAL VIGILANCE
by Ralph L. BayrerYour argument of how to protect the goose that laid the golden egg by defending freedom, civil society, and capitalism from the pernicious effects of Progressivism seems compelling to me. Moreover your account of the rise of progressivism in the U.S.is must reading for anyone who would take a stand on political issues. And no one who reads your accounts of the rise and fall of free-people-free market models of government in other societies can fail to agree with you about the value of governmen... more -

Feast of Renewal
by Andrej PoleevThe Birth of Jesus Christ and the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, which coincide in time with the end of the calendar year and the beginning of the new year, are very different in meaning: the first celebrates the beginning of the Christian era; the second celebrates the restoration of the traditional service in the Temple in Jerusalem, which was interrupted by the civil war in 170 BC. As it is not difficult to understand, the feast of Hanukkah is a feast of restoration, which is explained by the c... more -

by Andrej PoleevIn contradiction to prevalent as well as scholar concepts of intelligence based on contrived methods to estimate intelligence, that are questioned in this paper, I suppose the rareness of intelligent humans, even going to the point of exceptionality in the case of genius. Assumed from this rareness, I enunciate several very definite recommendations for governments helping them to identify and to protect intelligent humans. -
Userization
by Andrej Poleev100 years after the creation of the Federal Reserve System (FED), whose legality and modus operandi remain questionable, it is time to rethink the national and international payment system as a whole. The key element of existing economic relations is money, which makes barter-free exchange possible. But the monetary economy is only one aspect of a broader political framework designed and established to maintain power. Such selfish political interest proves its own relevance and exerts ideologica... more -
