Author: Pablo Simón.
The political scientist Pablo Simón has just published the book Entender la política. Una guía de política para principiantes (Understanding politics. A beginner’s guide to politics). However complex or impenetrable it may seem, we cannot escape it. That is politics. As social beings, it is part of our nature.
This book seeks to help us understand it a little better, to understand how we organise ourselves in society. Travelling thousands of years and hundreds of kilometres, from the animal kingdom to the contemporary world, the author tries to make us understand the raison d’être of modern states, how unexpected and fragile democracy is, or the ideologies and values that give meaning to our life in common. The aim is that, in a free and informed way, the reader will also be able to participate in a politics that already participates in him or her. After all, the world that is yet to be built is also the reader’s business.
