ISBN: 9781566631068 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 523 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In her enduring study of the impact of Darwinism on the intellectual climate of the nineteenth century, Gertrude Himmelfarb brings massive documentation to bear in challenging the conventional view of Darwin's greatness.

One Nation, Two Cultures: A Searching Examination of American Society in the Aftermath of Our Cultural Rev olution
ISBN: 9780375704109 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. From one of today's most respected historians and cultural critics comes a new book examining the gulf in American society--a division that cuts across class, racial, ethnic, political and sexual lines.
One side originated in the tradition of republican virtue, the other in the counterculture of the late 1960s. Himmelfarb argues that, while the latter generated the dominant culture of today-particularly in universities, journalism, television, and film--a "dissident culture" continues to promote the values of family, a civil society, sexual morality, privacy, and patriotism. Proposing... From one of today's most respected historians and cultural critics comes a new book examining the gulf in American society--a division that cuts acros...

W swoim klasycznym już zbiorze esejów Gertrude Himmelfarb dokonuje krytycznego przeglądu rozmaitych sposobów uprawiania historii, które zyskały na popularności w XX wieku.

The Degradation of the Academic Dogma
ISBN: 9781560009153 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is one of the most important books ever published about the American university. Robert Nisbet accuses universities of having betrayed themselves. Over the centuries they earned the respect of society by attempting to remain faithful to what he terms "the academic dogma," the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake. The measure of a university's greatness and of the stature of an individual scholar was determined not by the immediate usefulness of the work done, but by how much it contributed to scholarship, learning, and teaching. American universities abandoned this ideal,... This is one of the most important books ever published about the American university. Robert Nisbet accuses universities of having betrayed themsel... |
