Man, God, Religion, and State
ISBN: 9781685625993 / Miękka / 2023 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Man, God, Religion, and State, is a reflection on our physical, philosophical, and political, past, present, and possible future. This book may challenge the religious views of some readers, but it is not my intention to cause offence to any religious believer. We are all living in a time of anxiety and insecurities, which may prevent us from embracing our humanity. But we should never allow either the pain and sorrow of the past or the threats and fears of the present to obscure our vision of what is just and truthful. Our present socioeconomic relationships are based on injustice and...

Descartes's Theory of Mind
ISBN: 9780199284948 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Descartes is possibly the most famous of all writers on the mind, but his theory of mind has been almost universally misunderstood, because his philosophy has not been seen in the context of his scientific work. Desmond Clarke offers a radical and convincing rereading, undoing the received perception of Descartes as the chief defender of mind/body dualism. For Clarke, the key is to interpret his philosophical efforts as an attempt to reconcile his scientific pursuits with the theologically orthodox views of his time.

Stolen Inheritance
ISBN: 9781641827683 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Stolen Inheritance has a universal appeal, but should prove to be of particular interest to those who are looking to connect or re-connect with the peoples of Africa and Eurasia. Peoples of these two largest and one of the most populous continents have traded, fought, and inter-bred since the first recording of human existence. Older readers may find some of the evidence provided difficult to accept, as it challenges some of their own taken-for-granted understanding of racial thinking, whilst young readers may be encouraged to explore the value of human diversity.But, whoever you are, it is...

Descartes: A Biography
ISBN: 9780521823012 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Although Rene Descartes' (1596-1650) is best remembered today for writing "I think, therefore, I am," his unique contribution to the history of ideas was his effort to construct a philosophy that would be sympathetic to the new sciences that emerged in the seventeenth century. In four major publications, he fashioned a philosophical system that accommodated the needs of these new sciences, thereby earning the unrelenting hostility of both Catholic and Calvinist theologians, who relied on the scholastic philosophy that Descartes hoped to replace. His contemporaries claimed that his proofs of...

Berkeley: Philosophical Writings
ISBN: 9780521707626 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. George Berkeley (1685 1753) was a university teacher, a missionary, and later a Church of Ireland bishop. The over-riding objective of his long philosophical career was to counteract objections to religious belief that resulted from new philosophies associated with the Scientific Revolution. Accordingly, he argued against scepticism and atheism in the Principles and the Three Dialogues; he rejected theories of force in the Essay on Motion; he offered a new theory of meaning for religious language in Alciphron; and he modified his earlier immaterialism in Siris by speculating about the body's...

ISBN: 9780198749578 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Desmond M. Clarke presents a thematic history of French philosophy from the middle of the sixteenth century to the beginning of Louis XIV's reign. While the traditional philosophy of the schools was taught throughout this period by authors who have faded into permanent obscurity, a whole generation of writers who were not professional philosophers--some of whom never even attended a school or college--addressed issues that were prominent in French public life. Clarke explores such topics as the novel political theory espoused by monarchomachs, such as Beze and Hotman, against Bodin's account...

The Equality of the Sexes: Three Feminist Texts of the Seventeenth Century
ISBN: 9780199673506 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Desmond M. Clarke presents new translations of three of the first feminist tracts to support explicitly the equality of the sexes. The alleged inferiority of women's nature and the corresponding roles that women were (in)capable of exercising in society was debated in Western culture from the civilization of ancient Greece to the establishment of early Christian churches. There had also been some proponents of women's superiority (in comparison with men) prior to the early modern period. In contrast with both of these claims, the seventeenth century witnessed the first publications that...

Discourse on Method and Related Writings
ISBN: 9780140446999 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "It is not enough to have a good mind; it is more important to use it well"
Rene Descartes was a central figure in the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century. In his Discourse on Method he outlined the contrast between mathematics and experimental sciences, and the extent to which each one can achieve certainty. Drawing on his own work in geometry, optics, astronomy and physiology, Descartes developed the hypothetical method that characterizes modern science, and this soon came to replace the traditional techniques derived from Aristotle. Many of Descartes most... "It is not enough to have a good mind; it is more important to use it well"

Treatise on the Human Mind (1666)
ISBN: 9780792347781 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Descartes' philosophy represented one of the most explicit statements of mind-body dualism in the history of philosophy. Its most familiar expression is found in the Meditations (1641) and in Part I of The Principles 0/ Philosophy (1644). However neither of these books provided a detailed discussion of dualism. The Meditations was primarily concerned with finding a foundation for reliable human knowledge, while the Principles attempted to provide an alternative metaphysical framework, in contrast with scholastic philosophy, within which natural philosophy or a scien tific explanation of...

Moses Mendelssohn: Philosophical Writings
ISBN: 9780521574778 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Mendelssohn's Philosophical Writings, published in 1761, bring the metaphysical tradition to bear on the topic of "sentiments" (defined as knowledge or awareness by way of the senses).
