Conal Condren's fifth and final volume in a decades-long examination of political language, Political Vocabularies: Word Change and the Nature of Politics is a study of the mechanisms of change in political vocabularies over time. Though the main focus of the study is on English political vocabulary, Condren also compares political terms in other languages, such as French, German, Latin, Greek, Italian, and Japanese, and discusses how some of these terms are imported into English. Considering concrete examples of extension and intension of meaning, neologism, euphemism, translation, loan...

Between Laughter and Satire: Aspects of the Historical Study of Humour
ISBN: 9783031217388 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 261 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book explores closely related aspects of the historical study of humour. It challenges much that has been taken for granted in a field of study for which history has been marginal. It disputes the conventional genealogical view that humour theory dates from antiquity and outlines an alternative conceptual history. It critically examines the nostrum that humour is universal. It then explores the methodological difficulties in treating both verbal and non-verbal humour historically, dealing with contextualisation, intentionality, translation and reception. It explores the variable...

ISBN: 9780691639673 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Conal Condren examines the criteria for judging both works of political theory and texts associated with related academic genres.

Originally published in 1985. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

The Language of Politics in Seventeenth-Century England
ISBN: 9781349235681 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This is a study of the words of political discourse in seventeenth-century England from which we now reconstruct its theories. Taking its starting point in modern theories of language, intellectual history is first reconceptualised. Part 1 presents an overview of the political domain in the seventeenth century arguing that what we see as the political was fugitive and subject to reductionist pressures from better established fields of discourse. Further, there were strong pressures leading towards an indiscriminate and relatively general vocabulary, in turn facilitating the imposition of our...

Argument and Authority in Early Modern England: The Presupposition of Oaths and Offices
ISBN: 9780521859080 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 399 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Conal Condren offers a radical reappraisal of the character of moral and political theory in early modern England through an exploration of pervasive arguments about office. In this context he explores the significance of oath-taking and three of the major crises around oaths and offices in the seventeenth century. This fresh focus on office brings into serious question much of what has been taken for granted in the study of early modern political and moral theory concerning, for example, the interplay of ideologies, the emergence of a public sphere, of liberalism, reason of state, de facto...

The Philosopher in Early Modern Europe: The Nature of a Contested Identity
ISBN: 9780521123891 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this groundbreaking collection of essays the history of philosophy appears in a fresh light, not as reason's progressive discovery of its universal conditions, but as a series of unreconciled disputes over the proper way to conduct oneself as a philosopher. By shifting focus from the philosopher as proxy for the universal subject of reason to the philosopher as a special persona arising from rival forms of self-cultivation, philosophy is approached in terms of the social office and intellectual deportment of the philosopher, as a personage with a definite moral physiognomy and...

Hobbes, the Scriblerians and the History of Philosophy
ISBN: 9781138664562 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Satire was core to the work of Thomas Hobbes although his critics also used it as a weapon to ridicule him. Condren uses Hobbes as an example to demonstrate that an examination of the persona is needed to advance our understanding of a writer's philosophy.

George Lawson's 'Politica' and the English Revolution
ISBN: 9780521522380 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This is the first full account, analysis and subsequent history of George Lawson's Politica, 1660 89. For long accepted as a significant figure, through his criticism of Hobbes and his possible influence on Locke, Lawson has never been studied in depth, nor has his biography been previously established. Professor Condren here provides the context and the analysis of Lawson's major work, in the process re-dating it and providing a quite different interpretation from previous readings. A substantial section is devoted to the history of the text and its use in controversies in the period 1660...
