Eros Unveiled: Plato and the God of Love
ISBN: 9780198267669 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This unique book challenges the traditional distinction between eros, the love found in Greek thought, and agape, the love characteristic of Christianity. Focusing on a number of classic texts, including Plato's Symposium and Lysis, Aristotle's Ethics and Metaphysics,, and famous passages in Gregory of Nyssa, Origen, Dionysius the Areopagite, Plotinus, Augustine, and Thomas Aquinas, the author shows that Plato's account of eros is not founded on self-interest. In this way, she restores the place of erotic love as a Christian motif, and unravels some longstanding confusions in philosophical...

Dumb Beasts and Dead Philosophers: Humanity and the Humane in Ancient Philosophy and Literature
ISBN: 9780199568277 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Animal rights do not feature explicitly in ancient thought. Indeed the notion of natural rights in general is not obviously present in the classical world. Plato and Aristotle are typically read as racist and elitist thinkers who barely recognize the humanity of their fellow humans. Surely they would be the last to show up as models of the humane view of other kinds?

ISBN: 9781472557698 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Until the launch of this series over fifteen years ago, the 15,000 volumes of the ancient Greek commentators on Aristotle, written mainly between 200 and 600 AD, constituted the largest corpus of extant Greek philosophical writings not translated into English or other European languages. In this, the first half of Philoponus' analysis of book one of Aristotle's Physics, the principal themes are metaphysical. Aristotle's opening chapter in the Physics is an abstract reflection on methodology for the investigation of nature, or 'physics'. Aristotle suggests that one must proceed...

Presocratic Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780192840943 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Generations of philosophers, both ancient and modern, have traced their inspiration back to the Presocratics. Part of the fascination stems from the fact that little of what they wrote survives. Here Osborne invites her readers to dip their toes into the fragmentary remains of thinkers from Thales to Pythagoras, Heraclitus to Protagoras, and to try to reconstruct the moves that they were making, to support stories that Western philosophers and historians of philosophy like to tell about their past.
This book covers the invention of western philosophy: introducing to us the first thinkers... Generations of philosophers, both ancient and modern, have traced their inspiration back to the Presocratics. Part of the fascination stems from the f...

Philoponus: On Aristotle Physics 1.4-9
ISBN: 9781472557827 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Aristotle's Physics 1.4-9 explores a range of questions about the basic structure of reality, the nature of prime matter, the principles of change, the relation between form and matter, and the issue of whether things can come into being out of nothing, and if so, in what sense that is true. Philoponus' commentaries do not merely report and explain Aristotle and the other thinkers whom Aristotle is discussing. They are also the philosophical work of an independent thinker in the Neoplatonic tradition. Philoponus has his own, occasionally idiosyncratic, views on a number of important...
