ISBN: 9780521719636 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 442 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Do we desire things because they are good, or are they good because we desire them? Objectivists answer that we desire things because they are good; subjectivists answer that things are good because we desire them. Further, does it make sense to account for moral disagreement by claiming, as the moral relativist does, that something might be good for one person but not for another? Some essays in this book consider whether objective moral truths can be grounded in an understanding of the nature of human beings as rational and social animals. Some discuss the ethical theories of historical...

'Alexander': On Aristotle Metaphysics 12
ISBN: 9781350185623 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume presents a commentary on Aristotle’s Metaphysics Book 12 by pseudo-Alexander in a new translation accompanied by explanatory notes, introduction and indexes. Fred D. Miller, Jr. argues that the author of the commentary is in fact not Alexander of Aphrodisias, Aristotle’s distant successor in early 3rd century CE Athens and his leading defender and interpreter, but Michael of Ephesus from Constantinople as late as the 12th century CE. Robert Browning had earlier made the case that Michael was enlisted by Princess Anna Comnena in a project to restore and complete the ancient...

Personal Identity: Volume 22, Part 2
ISBN: 9780521617673 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What makes me the same person today that I was yesterday or will be tomorrow? In Plato's Symposium, Socrates observed that all of us are constantly undergoing change--physical as well as changes in our "manners, customs, opinions, desires, pleasures, pains, and] fears." Aristotle theorized that some underlying "substratum" remains constant even while we undergo these changes. John Locke rejected Aristotle's view and reformulated the problem of personal identity in his own way. These essays--written by prominent philosophers and legal and economic theorists--offer valuable insights into the...
