Postmodernism, Reason and Religion
ISBN: 9780415080248 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The main thesis of Postmodernism, Reason and Religion is that we face three ideological options at the present time. One is a return to the genuine and firm faith of religious tradition. Another is the pursuit of a form of relativism which abandons the notion of truth and resigns itself to treating truth as relative to the society or culture in question. The third upholds the view that there is a unique truth, but denies that any society can be firmly in possession of it.

Language and Solitude: Wittgenstein, Malinowski and the Habsburg Dilemma
ISBN: 9780521639972 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ernest Gellner (1925-1995) has been described as "one of the last great central European polymath intellectuals." In this, his last book, he throws new light on two key figures of the twentieth century: the philosopher Wittgenstein, and Malinowski, founder of modern British social anthropology. Gellner shows how the thought of both men grew from a common background of assumptions about human nature, society, and language. He ties together themes that preoccupied him, epitomizing his belief that philosophy--far from "leaving everything as it is"--is about important historical, social and...

Ernest Gellner, Selected Philosophical Themes
ISBN: 9780415673792 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 736 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ernest Gellner made major contributions in very diverse fields, notably philosophy and social anthropology. His attacks on the orthodoxies of his time made it difficult for him to be fully accepted into either of these academic communities, but that suited him well enough: he seemed to enjoy leading a one-man crusade for critical rationalism, defending enlightenment universalism against the rising tides of idealism and relativism. His influence spread far beyond social anthropology: the fierce tone of the polemics of the 1950s against Oxford philosophers was repeated during the 1990s in...

Anthropology and Politics: Revolutions in the Sacred Grove
ISBN: 9780631199182 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Ernest Gellner explores here the links between anthropology and politics, and shows just how central these are. The recent postmodernist turn in anthropology has been linked to the expiation of colonial guilt. Traditional, functionalist anthropology is characteristically regarded as an accessory to the crime, and anyone critical of the relativistic claims of interpretative anthropology (as Ernest Gellner is) is likely to be charged (as he sometimes is) with being an ex post imperialist.
Ernest Gellner argues that cultures are crucially important in human life as constraining... Ernest Gellner explores here the links between anthropology and politics, and shows just how central these are. The recent postmodernist turn in anthr...

Liberalism in Modern Times
ISBN: 9781858660523 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The premature death in 1991 of the Brazilian essayist, thinker and diplomat Jose G. Merquior robbed the international intellectual community of a gifted friend of reason and a defender of modernity'. Several essays in this volume, directly or indirectly, broadly or personally, pay tribute to the life and work of this politically engaged intellectual'. Part I examines Merquiorian thought itself and--aptly enough--begins with his own incisive review of the rebirth of the liberal idea. Part II ranges more widely: here, such distinguished contributors as John Hall, Ernest Gellner and Norberto...

Words and Things: An Examination Of, and an Attack On, Linguistic Philosophy, a Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology
ISBN: 9781138142367 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: 16-18 dni roboczych When Ernest Gellner was his early thirties, he took it upon himself to challenge the prevailing philosophical orthodoxy of the day, Linguistic Philosophy. Finding a powerful ally in Bertrand Russell, who provided the foreword for this book, Gellner embarked on the project that was to put him on the intellectual map. The first determined attempt to state the premises and operational rules of the movement, Words and Things remains philosophy's most devastating attack on a conventional wisdom to this day.

Encounters with Nationalism
ISBN: 9780631194811 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The forecast demise of nationalism under the new moral orders of communism and internationalism has proved illusory. In the present century, to an extent greater perhaps than in all others, nationalism has been the dominant force in the affairs of humankind. Why should this have been? Why is it that a national identity should continue to be the aspiration of almost all peoples without one and, at the same time, the justification - in the process of obtaining, securing and expanding it- for casting aside every trace and tradition of civility? In Encounters with Nationalism Ernest Gellner seeks...
