Wisdom, Information and Wonder: What Is Knowledge For?
ISBN: 9780415028301 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This treatise on the question of knowledge challenges readers to re-examine the protective barriers built to isolate science from other forms of enquiry, and each particular science from its neighbours.

ISBN: 9780415289870 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Philosophers have traditionally concentrated on the qualities that make human beings different from other species.

She tells us humans are rather more like other animals than we previously allowed ourselves to believe, and reminds us just how primitive we are in comparison to the sophistication of many animals. A veritable classic for our age, Beast and Man has helped change the way we think about ourselves and the...
