The American Moralist: On Law, Ethics, and Government
ISBN: 9780821410011 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 632 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The essays collected here, somewhat autobiographical in their effect, range from a discussion of the despair of the Cold War and Vietnam in 1966 to reflections on the euphoria over the ending of the Cold War in Eastern Europe in 1990.

George Anastaplo has written brilliantly and persuasively about ancient and modern Western political philosophy and literature and about American Constitutional history and law.

ISBN: 9780821411841 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 419 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In an attempt to subject representative texts of a dozen ancient authors to a more or less Socratic inquiry, the noted scholar George Anastaplo suggests in The Thinker as Artist how one might usefully read as well as enjoy such texts, which illustrate the thinking done by the greatest artists and how they talk among themselves across the centuries. In doing so, he does not presume to repeat the many fine things said about these and like authors, but rather he discusses what he himself has noticed about them, text by text. Drawing upon a series of classical authors ranging from Homer and...
