G. K. Chesterton: Thinking Backward, Looking Forward
ISBN: 9781599471044 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this book, Stephen R. L. Clark, a philosopher with a lifelong "addiction" to science fiction, explores G. K. Chesterton's ideas and arguments in their historical context and evaluates them philosophically. He addresses Chesterton's sense that the way things are is not how they must have been or need be in the future, and his willingness to face up to the apparent effects of the nihilism he detected in the science and politics of his day. Clark offers a detailed study of some of Chesterton's works that have been identified by science fiction writers and critics as seminal... In this book, Stephen R. L.

The Political Animal: Biology, Ethics and Politics
ISBN: 9780415189118 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. People, as Aristotle said, are political animals. Mainstream political philosophy, however, has largely neglected humankind's animal nature as beings who are naturally equipped, and inclined, to reason and work together, create social bonds and care for their young. Stephen Clark, grounded in biological analysis and traditional ethics, probes into areas ignored in mainstream political theory and argues for the significance of social bonds which bypass or transcend state authority.
Understanding the ties that bind us reveals how enormously capable we are in achieving civil order as a... People, as Aristotle said, are political animals. Mainstream political philosophy, however, has largely neglected humankind's animal nature as beings ...

The Godtouch: Poetry
ISBN: 9781533215147 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A brilliant collection of more than 90 engaging, inspirational, insightful, and unique poems. From the Foreword: Roots firmly planted in an evangelical Protestant tradition assure a solid familiarity with theological concepts and Biblical story. For readers acquainted with the historical tradition of religious poetry, the style of the poems in The Godtouch is reminiscent at times of the metaphysical style of some of the outstanding seventeenth century English religious poets. But the feel throughout is very contemporary. I highly commend Mr. Clark for his fine volume of poetry.

How to Live Forever: Science Fiction and Philosophy
ISBN: 9781138861213 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Immortality is a subject which has long been explored and imagined by science fiction writers. In his intriguing new study, Stephen R.L.Clark argues that the genre of science fiction writing allows investigation of philosophical questions about immortality without the constraints of academic philosophy. He reveals how fantasy accounts of issues such as resurrection, disembodied survival, reincarnation and devices or drugs for preserving life can be used as an important resource for philosophical inquiry and examines how a society of immortals might function through a reading of the vampire...

Best friends Andrew and Wills realize they'll have to come up with a plan to avoid getting sucked into the same old stuff their parents sign them up for every year, like soccer or computer camp.

So they start a club with some neighborhood kids, adopting Andrew's Darwinian science project as their guiding mission after being forced to accept Wills' overbearing older brother Taylor, and his hulking sidekick, Strat, as members. But something's wrong with Andrew, and the test to determine who will join their...

This stimulating and wide-ranging book mounts a profound enquiry into some of the most pressing questions of our age, by examining the relationship between biological science and Christianity.

Priorities and Christian Ethics
ISBN: 9780521623513 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Christians have agreed, as have others, that preference should go to some extent to one's nearest, and also to some extent to the neediest. However, to what extent should we give preference to which group? And suppose these two preferences come into conflict, as they frequently do? This book provides the fullest contemporary treatment of these issues. The author brings to bear all the resources of theological and philosophical reflection on a single representative case, and from the single example, sheds light on a wide range of comparable cases, both private and public.

Moral Action and Christian Ethics
ISBN: 9780521657105 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How do we decide whether an action is right or wrong? Recently, moral philosophers have moved away from the claim that we can find one definite solution to every moral problem by means of clearly established moral rules. While sympathetic to their critiques of modern moral theories, Porter questions whether these critiques go far enough in offering a positive alternative to a modern view of the moral act. Instead, she returns to Aquinas, and seeks to reclaim his understanding of the moral act as a product of interdependent moral virtues.
