A Matrix of Meanings: Finding God in Pop Culture
ISBN: 9780801024177 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 351 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Ross and Rachel had a baby, Britney and Justin broke up, and Time magazine asked if Bono could save the world. From the glittering tinsel of Hollywood to the advertising slogan you can't get out of your head, we are surrounded by popular culture. In A Matrix of Meanings Craig Detweiler and Barry Taylor analyze aspects of popular culture and ask, What are they doing? What do they represent? and What do they say about the world in which we live? Rather than deciding whether Bono deserves our admiration, the authors examine the phenomenon of celebrity idolization. Instead of deciding whether...

Fate and Freedom in the Novels of David Adams Richards
ISBN: 9781498528702 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book explores the understanding of freedom developed in the later novels of celebrated Canadian author, David Adams Richards. Many reviewers highlight two interconnected features in Richards novels: a seemingly rigid determinism of setting and sociodemographics, and a resulting hopelessness. In contrast, Richards describes the quest of human life and the purpose of his novels as a search for freedom. This book explores the account of freedom that is developed through the course of four of Richards's works: The Friends of Meager Fortune, Mercy Among the Children, The Lost Highway, and...

Recollecting Dante's Divine Comedy in the Novels of Mark Helprin: The Love That Moves the Sun and the Other Stars
ISBN: 9780739181966 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book studies several of Mark Helprin's novels in terms of their relation to Dante's Divine Comedy. The authors demonstrate that A Soldier of the Great War, In Sunlight and in Shadow, and Winter's Tale substantially correspond to, respectively, Dante's Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The author himself has acknowledged his debt to Dante and references to the Comedy appear throughout his works. It is not that Helprin's novels track their Dantean antecedents slavishly, or even follow the structure of the Canticles explicitly. Rather, the central arguments of Dante's three works are taken...

Recovering Hegel from the Critique of Leo Strauss: The Virtues of Modernity
ISBN: 9781498550406 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Recovering Hegel from the Critique of Leo Srauss offers a defense of modernity against the critique of the influential mid-twentieth century political philosopher, Leo Strauss. Strauss, whose influence on contemporary conservative political theory is well documented, discovered the ground of much of what he found wanting in contemporary political and social life to lie in the philosophy of the 19th century German philosopher, G. W. F. Hegel. Specifically, Strauss accused Hegel of being the greatest exponent of historicism and thus the relativism that afflicts modern thought. Ultimately,...
