Philosophy Between the Lines: The Lost History of Esoteric Writing
ISBN: 9780226479170 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 471 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Philosophical esotericism--the practice of communicating one's unorthodox thoughts "between the lines"--was a common practice until the end of the eighteenth century. The famous Encyclopedie of Diderot, for instance, not only discusses this practice in over twenty different articles, but admits to employing it itself. The history of Western thought contains hundreds of such statements by major philosophers testifying to the use of esoteric writing in their own work or others'. Despite this long and well-documented history, however, esotericism is often dismissed today as a rare...

The Natural Goodness of Man: On the System of Rousseau's Thought
ISBN: 9780226519791 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The true key to all the perplexities of the human condition, Rousseau boldly claims, is the "natural goodness of man." It is also the key to his own notoriously contradictory writings, which, he insists, are actually the disassembled parts of a rigorous philosophical system rooted in that fundamental principle. What if this problematic claim--so often repeated, but as often dismissed--were resolutely followed and explored?
Arthur M. Melzer adopts this approach in The Natural Goodness of Man. The first two parts of the book restore the original, revolutionary significance of this...

Reason, Faith, and Politics: Essays in Honor of Werner J. Dannhauser
ISBN: 9780739118351 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Behind many of the hottest political issues of the current moment --abortion, stem-cell research, Intelligent Design, Islamic fundamentalism--stands a resurgence of the centuries-old contest between religion and the Enlightenment. In such circumstances, a volume of essays honoring the thought of Werner J. Dannhauser is particularly timely. An expert on Nietzsche and Jewish political thought, Dannhauser's abiding concern was the issue of "reason, faith, and politics." Does secular rationalism, as promoted by the Enlightenment, provide an adequate basis for moral and political life? Or does the...

Multiculturalism and American Democracy
ISBN: 9780700608829 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Multiculturalism: is it the face of twenty-first century America or merely a passing intellectual fad? With its celebration of ethnic diversity and strong advocacy of tolerance, this contemporary movement provides philosophical justification for many who seek to correct social inequities. But while its proponents see it as a means of promoting self-esteem among marginalized groups, its critics see it as a dangerous form of relativism that culminates, paradoxically, in a new form of intolerance. The fourteen essays in this volume address the pros and cons of multiculturalism and explore...

Gore, the Supreme Court has, over the past fifty years, assumed an increasingly controversial place in American national political life. As the recurring struggles over nominations to the Court illustrate, few questions today divide our political community more profoundly than those concerning the Court's proper role as protector of liberties and guardian of the Constitution. If the nation is today in the midst of a "culture war," the contest over the Supreme Court is certainly one of its principal... From Brown v. Board of Education to Roe v. Wade to Bush v.
