On Betrayal
ISBN: 9780674048263 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Adultery, treason, and apostasy no longer carry the weight they once did. Yet we constantly see and hear stories of betrayal, and many people have personally experienced a destructive breach of loyalty. Avishai Margalit argues that the tension between the ubiquity of betrayal and the loosening of its hold is a sign of the strain between ethics and morality, between thick and thin human relations. On Betrayal offers a philosophical account of thick human relations--relationships with friends, family, and core communities--through their pathology, betrayal. Judgments of betrayal...

Ethics of Memory
ISBN: 9780674013780 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Much of the intense current interest in collective memory concerns the politics of memory. In a book that asks, "Is there an ethics of memory?" Avishai Margalit addresses a separate, perhaps more pressing, set of concerns. The idea he pursues is that the past, connecting people to each other, makes possible the kinds of "thick" relations we can call truly ethical. Thick relations, he argues, are those that we have with family and friends, lovers and neighbors, our tribe and our nation--and they are all dependent on shared memories. But we also have "thin" relations with total... Much of the intense current interest in collective memory concerns the politics of memory. In a book that asks, "Is there an ethics of memory?"

On Compromise and Rotten Compromises
ISBN: 9780691158129 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. When is political compromise acceptable--and when is it fundamentally rotten, something we should never accept, come what may? What if a rotten compromise is politically necessary? Compromise is a great political virtue, especially for the sake of peace. But, as Avishai Margalit argues, there are moral limits to acceptable compromise even for peace. But just what are those limits? At what point does peace secured with compromise become unjust? Focusing attention on vitally important questions that have received surprisingly little attention, Margalit argues that we should be concerned not...

The Decent Society
ISBN: 9780674194373 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Avishai Margalit builds his social philosophy on this foundation: a decent society, or a civilized society, is one whose institutions do not humiliate the people under their authority, and whose citizens do not humiliate one another. What political philosophy needs urgently is a way that will permit us to live together without humiliation and with dignity. Most of the philosophical attention nowadays is drawn to the ideal of the just society based on the right balance between freedom and equality. The ideal of the just society is a sublime one but hard to realize. The decent society...

Idolatry
ISBN: 9780674443136 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. "You shall have no other gods besides Me." This injunction, handed down through Moses three thousand years ago, marks one of the most decisive shifts in Western culture: away from polytheism toward monotheism. Despite the momentous implications of such a turn, the role of idolatry in giving it direction and impetus is little understood. This book examines the meaning and nature of idolatry--and, in doing so, reveals much about the monotheistic tradition that defines itself against this sin. The authors consider Christianity and Islam, but focus primarily on Judaism. They explore competing...

Meaning and Use
ISBN: 9789027708885 / Angielski / Twarda / 1979 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The second Jerusalem Philosophical Encounter was held in Jerusalem on April 25-28, 1976. The symposium was originally planned to celebrate the 60th birthday of Y ehoshua Bar-Hillel, philosopher and friend. But his sudden death intervened, and turned celebration into commemoration. The topic of the symposiumwas Meaning and Use. For Bar-Hillel, the question 'meaning or use?' was of great importance, one which he took as a question of priorities. Which approach to natural language is prior: the formal, semantical approach, which accords a central position to the truth- functional concept of...

Occidentalism: The West in the Eyes of Its Enemies
ISBN: 9780143034872 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 165 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Twenty-five years ago, Edward Said's Orientalism spawned a generation of scholarship on the denigrating and dangerous mirage of "the East" in the Western colonial mind. But "the West" is the more dangerous mirage of our own time, Ian Buruma and Avishai Margalit argue, and the idea of "the West" in the minds of its self-proclaimed enemies remains largely unexamined and woefully misunderstood. Occidentalism is their groundbreaking investigation of the demonizing fantasies and stereotypes about the Western world that fuel such hatred in the hearts of others. We generally understand...
