The Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9780199246786 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 800 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Volume III covers the long watershed of the nineteenth century, from the American independence of the 1780s to the eve of world war in 1914. This period saw Britain's greatest expansion as an empire-builder and a dominant world power. We begin with several thematic chapters--some are on Britain while others consider the empire's periphery--exploring the key dynamics of British expansion that made imperial influence possible and imperial rule prevalent. The volume also studies the economic, cultural, and institutional frameworks that shaped Britain's overseas empire. Focus then shifts to...

Basic Concepts of Biblical Religion
ISBN: 9781498465274 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Concepts taken for granted cause trouble later if they are forgotten. Biblical religion is world-affirming and historical. That means finding some positive construction for the pains of life, and finding the meaning of life in history. The Exodus is the backbone of the Bible: it holds together the Old Testament, and it is the model for the New Testament. Biblical religion is covenantal: it is a choice, not something that could be proven. As with Aquinas, acts of God do not interfere with nature, but transcendence builds on nature. At this point, it is possible to say a little about God; more...

Living in Spin: Narrative as a Distributed Ontology of Human Action
ISBN: 9781467854771 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. All the hard questions about human action are about what to include in a story, what can be left out, and how to characterize what gets included. A narrative selects from all the world's motions which ones are part of or relevant to an act, and so narratives give us what narratives have already shaped: the relation is circular. Many narratives can be told of an act, not all consistent. Some features of human action: - events "off-stage" determine what's happening "on-stage"; - many actions pass through'' motions in view; - an act can be changed after the fact; - action presupposes language; -...
