Rousseau as Author: Consecrating One's Life to the Truth
ISBN: 9780226430249 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) For Rousseau, "consecrating one's life to the truth" (his personal credo) meant publicly taking responsibility for what one publishes and only publishing what would be of public benefit. Christopher Kelly argues that this commitment is central to understanding the relationship between Rousseau's writings and his political philosophy.
Unlike many other writers of his day, Rousseau refused to publish anonymously, even though he risked persecution for his writings. But Rousseau felt that authors must be self-restrained, as well as bold, and must carefully consider the potential political...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The Song of Songs is a profoundly mysterious poem. It is both deeply spiritual and dangerously sensual.

It is the searing narrative of one vulnerable girl's devotion and her sexual and spiritual growth into a woman. Her forbidden passion for the boy, her 'king, ' forces her...

Cassian's Conferences: Scriptural Interpretation and the Monastic Ideal
ISBN: 9781409405597 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) This book explores Cassian's use of scripture in the Conferences, especially its biblical models to convey his understanding of the desert ideal to the monastic communities of Gaul. Cassian intended the scriptures and, implicitly, the Conferences to be the voices of authority and orthodoxy in the Gallic environment. He interprets familiar biblical characters in unfamiliar ways that exemplify his ideal. By imitating their actions the monk enters a seamless lineage of authority stretching back to Abraham. This book demonstrates how the scriptures functioned as a dynamic force in the lives of...
