1. Global Politics after The Cold War

Global Politics after The Cold War is the first full Polish version of the book written by Kondylis. It was published in Germany and Greece in 1992 when both states had to face consequences of the global power shift. Published almost thirty years ago, this outstanding work offers still current theories, as compared with The End of History and the Last Man by F. Fukuyama.

2. Invisible Chronology of Thought. Three Inteviews with Panagiotis Kondylis

The publication is the first and only translation of the latest book written by Kondylis and published after his death. The book is a compilation of his three interviews from 1994 and 1998. It offers insights into Kondylis’ interests and ideas, as well as into the research he devoted the last years of his life to.

 

3. Marx and the ancient Greek tradition. Two essays

Polish translation of two studies dedicated to the development of the philosophical thought of Karl Marx. The first essay is an introduction to the young Marx's philosophy. The second essay is a study of the development in Marx's way of thinking about philosophy led by his studies of the ancient philosophical tradition. Kondylis examines here key concepts of Marx's thought i.e. in the form of ideology and false consciousness.

 

4. The Political in 20th century

This is the second of Kondylis' books devoted to issues of current politics. This book has lost none of its relevance, and even in the face of escalating conflicts in the world, it proves in its entirety that Kondylis' conclusions were right. We are convinced that this book will become an interesting read for political scientists, sociologists, historians, philosophers, and representatives of other sciences who focus on the issues of modernity.
