Running is Life: Transcending the Crisis of Modernity
ISBN: 9780761851752 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Running feels good. It also centers the runner in the world, solves the problems implied by the Cartesian split between body and soul, and establishes an active relationship between the self and others. Running takes the motion we are all born with (that is the essence of life) and with the individual providing the impetus, projects us into the world of others. When we run, we transcend ourselves and place ourselves in the world. Running is Life is set in many places--Cairo, the Eastern Sierras, Las Vegas, New York's Adirondack Mountains, and Barcelona, among others--but always in the moving...

Journey to the Middle of the Forest: A Maryland Half-Life
ISBN: 9780761838937 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What is the taste of life as we really live it, rather than the way we imagine it in others? What does it feel like to become aware of the hand of cards we've been dealt, to play them as well as we can, to understand what has happened to us, and to try to control the future? Journey to the Middle of the Forest answers these questions in a way that celebrity memoirs, where events seem so much more intense than happenings in our own lives because of our perspective and the writer's fame, cannot. In Journey to the Middle of the Forest, Bruce Fleming considers the slippages between presupposition...

The Aesthetic Sense of Life: A Philosophy of the Everyday
ISBN: 9780761839163 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Aesthetic Sense of Life is a fast-moving book about how to see the world and get value from living every day with the "everyday." Do the infinite number of sensations we're surrounded with every day have intrinsic value? If not, what gives them value? Who appreciates the sunrise if we don't?

The Aesthetic Sense of Life considers and answers to questions such as these in clear, readable prose, offering a way of looking at life that makes clear its value and its meaning. The aesthetic sense of life is neither the...

Why Liberals and Conservatives Clash: A View from Annapolis
ISBN: 9780415953535 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why Liberals and Conservatives Clash offers an explanation for the extreme polarization between liberal and conservative that is the hallmark of the American political landscape today. It suggests that liberal thought is intrinsically different from conservative thought, and that each constitutes a self-subsistent world-view with its specific qualities and rules. The book offers a set of guidelines to predict a person's views based on other views s/he holds, given that each world-view is what it is for structural reasons, and is more than merely a sum of discrete positions. It explains, for...

The New Tractatus: Summing Up Everything
ISBN: 9780761837961 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 141 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus was informed by the belief that it was possible to get clarity once and for all on fundamental philosophical issues, and so to think our way to a silence where philosophy was no longer necessary. This is The New Tractatus: it sympathizes with Wittgenstein's impatience with the endless cycle of argument, but reacts to this impatience and takes it in different directions than Wittgenstein did. Wittgenstein was concerned with questions like these: What is the meaning of language? What is our relationship to the universe? What is the nature of...

The Thanksgiving Symposium: A Modern Platonic Dialogue on Love
ISBN: 9780761839781 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What if Plato's Symposium took place in present-day America rather than in ancient Athens? The Thanksgiving Symposium imagines this, and makes it happen. Like Plato's dialogue, The Thanksgiving Symposium focuses on the age-old question: what is the nature of love? In The Thanksgiving Symposium, three men and three women of varying ages and degrees of closeness meet for Thanksgiving dinner. Their particular situations give rise to a discussion of love in the general and the specific, leavened with the normal give and take of social interaction. During the evening, much is discussed and some...

Bridging the Military-Civilian Divide: What Each Side Must Know about the Other, and about Itself
ISBN: 9781597974288 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 285 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Civilians and military personnel do not have a clear view of each other in the United States today. Conspiring against such understanding are the norms and traditions of the two cultures. On the one hand, the military is considered to like its secrecy and think of itself as morally superior to the civilians it is meant to serve. On the other hand, civilians praise or blame the armed forces based on political exigencies and generally without true comprehension of their culture. And their mutual misperceptions seem greater now than in the late 1960s and early 1970s during the Vietnam War....

Bill the Goat's Adult Refresher Guide to Writing
ISBN: 9780761838920 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Many otherwise competent adults are wobbly writers, whether they're college students or already thriving in a job. They probably exhibit a 'go get 'em' attitude for most of their lives, but find themselves stumped by a blank computer screen or a piece of paper. What, they wonder, do I do now? What's my next word, next sentence? But their problems aren't solved by somebody telling them what to do, only by someone helping them figure things out themselves. As the adage says: give a person a fish and s/he eats that day; teach a person to fish and s/he eats for life. They need a little help from...

Sexual Ethics: Liberal vs. Conservative
ISBN: 9780761828648 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Sexual Ethics considers the traditional Western views, as well as Freudian explanations, of sexuality. Author Bruce E. Fleming proposes that sex operates in an intrinsically undefined area, one stranded between the two realms that otherwise define our public and private lives. The most heated debate regarding sexual matters is between liberal and conservatives. Whether or not these two groups can continue to co-exist under the umbrella of American democracy depends on their willingness to adhere to the basic principals of democracy.
