Nightingales: The Extraordinary Upbringing and Curious Life of Miss Florence Nightingale

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Florence Nightingale was for a time the most famous woman in Britain-if not the world. We know her today primarily as a saintly character, perhaps as a heroic reformer of Britain's health-care system. The reality is more involved and far more fascinating. In an utterly beguiling narrative that reads like the best Victorian fiction, acclaimed author Gillian Gill tells the story of this richly complex woman and her extraordinary family.
Born to an adoring wealthy, cultivated father and a mother whose conventional facade concealed a surprisingly unfettered intelligence, Florence was connected...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Published in France in 1980, Marine Lover is the first in a trilogy in which Luce Irigaray links the interrogation of the feminine in post-Hegelian philosophy with a pre-Socratic investigation of the elements. Irigaray undertakes to interrogate Nietzche, the grandfather of poststructuralist philosophy, from the point of view of water. According to Irigaray, water is the element Nietzsche fears most. She uses this element in her narrative because for her there is a complex relationship between the feminine and the fluid. Irigaray's method is to engage in an amorous dialogue with the...

Ethics of Sexual Difference
ISBN: 9780801481451 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "Who or what the other is, I never know. But the other who is forever unknowable is the one who differs from me sexually. This feeling of surprise, astonishment, and wonder in the face of the unknowable ought to be returned to its locus: that of sexual difference."Thus Luce Irigaray undertakes a searching inquiry into what may be the philosophical problem of our age. Irigaray approaches the question of sexual difference by looking at the ways in which thought and language whether in philosophy, science, or psychoanalysis are gendered. She juxtaposes evocative readings of classic... "Who or what the other is, I never know. But the other who is forever unknowable is the one who differs from me sexually.
