Portraits: A Gallery of Intellectuals
ISBN: 9780226753379 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In these vivid portraits of prominent twentieth-century intellectuals, Edward Shils couples the sensitivity of a biographer with the profound knowledge of a highly respected scholar.

Highlights include an affectionate treatment of Leo Szilard, the physicist whose involvement with the development of the atomic bomb led him to work ceaselessly to...

The Constitution of Society
ISBN: 9780226753294 / Angielski / Miękka / 1982 / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Edward Shils's attempt to work out a macrosociological theory which does justice both to the spiritual and intellectual dispositions and powers of the mind and to the reality of the larger society is an enterprise that has spanned several decades. In his steps toward the development of this theory he has not proceeded deductively; rather he has worked from his own concrete observations of Western, Asian, and African societies. Thus, despite the inevitable abstractness of marcrosociological theory, the papers in this volume which have been published separately since the Second World War have a...

The Torment of Secrecy: The Background and Consequences of American Secruity Policies
ISBN: 9781566631051 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 259 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Edward Shils's The Torment of Secrecy is one of the few minor classics to emerge from the cold war years of anticommunism and McCarthyism in the United States. Mr. Shils's "torment" is not only that of the individual caught up in loyalty and security procedures; it is also the torment of the accuser and judge. This essay in sociological analysis and political philosophy considers the cold war preoccupation with espionage, sabotage, and subversion at home, assessing the magnitude of such threats and contrasting it to the agitation by lawmakers, investigators, and administrators so wildly...

Tradition
ISBN: 9780226753263 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Tradition, by esteemed sociologist Edward Shils, was the first book to fully explore the history, significance, and future of tradition as a whole. Intent on questioning the meaning of the antitraditionalist impulse in today's society, Shils argues here that the tendency to distrust and rebel against tradition is at the heart of tradition itself; only through suspicion and defiance does tradition actually move forward. Revealing the importance of tradition to social and political institutions, technology, science, literature, religion, and scholarship, Tradition remains the...
