Neste episódio, exploramos o impacto histórico de Napoleão Bonaparte e as consequências estruturais da Revolução Francesa. Ao contrário da visão romântica estabelecida sobre o período, a ascensão do império napoleônico levanta questões complexas sobre a natureza do Estado, a centralização do poder militar e a fragilidade das sociedades humanas. Através da análise aprofundada da obra "Liberdade, Igualdade, Fraternidade", de James Fitzjames Stephen, publicada em 1873, o programa contrapõe a visão otimista de pensadores da época, como John Stuart Mill, com a necessidade material de ordem, de leis e de uma ordem moral compartilhada na civilização. O conteúdo aborda como ideias abstratas, quando aplicadas sem a devida contenção institucional, culminaram no uso da força estatal, exemplificado por eventos como o Terror Jacobino e o expansionismo francês.

No século XVI, a Europa sangrava em meio a violentas guerras religiosas. O colapso das instituições tradicionais e o vazio de autoridade ameaçavam a civilização com a desordem total. A França, epicentro dessa devastação política, vivia um cenário onde a autoridade real era contestada por exércitos particulares e a fé justificava o fim do convívio social. Foi neste cenário histórico que Jean Bodin, um notório jurista e filósofo, publicou sua obra-prima: "Os Seis Livros da República" (1576). Para salvar a ordem pública, Bodin forjou um dos conceitos mais influentes da teoria política mundial: a soberania. Ao defender um poder absoluto e perpétuo, ele redesenhou o destino do Ocidente e lançou as bases do que hoje conhecemos como Estado Moderno. Neste vídeo original da Brasil Paralelo, explore como a obra de Bodin separou a administração do Estado das paixões da época, influenciou pensadores ao longo dos séculos e criou a engrenagem jurídica que sustenta a política global até os dias de hoje.

Em um cenário onde o debate público perdeu a sua profundidade e a política se rendeu ao acaloramento superficial, a busca por uma verdadeira formação humana tornou-se uma urgência. No episódio de hoje do Conversa Paralela, Lara Brenner e Arthur Morisson recebem o professor de filosofia Henrique Elfes e o fundador da Core Academia, Gabriel Kanner, para uma análise incisiva sobre o atual estado intelectual do Brasil. O debate perpassa o panorama da educação nacional e a perigosa ilusão de sabedoria fomentada pelas redes sociais. Os convidados discutem por que a sociedade moderna passou a enxergar a inteligência e a erudição clássica como "defeitos", substituindo mestres gabaritados por influenciadores instantâneos que, munidos de opiniões rasas, moldam o imaginário de milhares de jovens.

O Ministério da Saúde lançou a nova Caderneta da Gestante e o documento tem gerado fortes debates em toda a sociedade brasileira. A recente edição substitui o termo "mãe" por "pessoas que gestam", alterando de maneira substancial a identidade visual, a linguagem e o foco informativo do material. Neste programa, analisamos em detalhes as principais mudanças aplicadas à caderneta oficial do SUS. De alterações estéticas, como a remoção de ilustrações do bebê, até a polêmica inclusão de orientações sobre o aborto em um documento focado no pré-natal, médicos, parlamentares e ativistas questionam os rumos das políticas de saúde pública. Acompanhe os pareceres técnicos de especialistas, o posicionamento do governo federal sobre a integração do documento ao aplicativo Meu SUS Digital e a reação da oposição na Câmara dos Deputados para reverter essas medidas.

This class explores why Parshas Behar uniquely opens with 'at Mount Sinai,' examining Rashi's commentary and the Torah's pattern of specifying locations. It clarifies how all mitzvos were given at Sinai, even if taught later, and discusses the significance of Shemitah's association with Sinai. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/003_vayikra/009_behar/001
