Make Room for Dreams: Spiritual Challenges to Zionism
ISBN: 9780313260544 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Make Room for Dreams" examines Zionism from both a philosophical and practical point of view. This in-depth study reviews and evaluates the notion that Zionism has become a way of enlisting political or economic support for Israel and is no longer seen as a movement that should seek ways to realize humane or spiritual goals. The discussion focuses on the concept of Zionism as the return of the Jewish people to the land of Israel, a return that must be accompanied by a changing of certain basic attitudes concerning the Jews' mode of being-in-the-world. The manner of blending existentialism... "Make Room for Dreams" examines Zionism from both a philosophical and practical point of view. This in-depth study reviews and evaluates the notion... |

Fighting Evil: Unsung Heroes in the Novels of Graham Greene
ISBN: 9780313295744 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What can we learn from the novels of Graham Greene? This book argues that Greene's writings have much to teach us about fighting evil here and now, and about endeavoring to live a worthy life. In novels that span half of the twentieth century, Greene related stories of evil persons who destroyed the freedom of others and of a few simple people who fought them. Through these stories he showed us three basic truths: first, evil exists; second, it is possible to fight it; and third, one may attain wisdom and sometimes a very limited glory by undertaking such a struggle. Gordon's study sets... What can we learn from the novels of Graham Greene? This book argues that Greene's writings have much to teach us about fighting evil here and now,... |

Dictionary of Existentialism
ISBN: 9780313274046 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The area of philosophy defined as existentialism gained prominence after World War II. Among the more popular existentialist philosophers and writers are Friedrich Nietzsche, Soren Kierkegaard, and Fyodor Dostoyevski. Instead of focusing upon a particular aspect of human existence, existentialists focus on the whole being as he or she exists in the world. Rebelling against the rationalism proposed by such writers as Descartes and Hegel, existentialists reject the emphasis placed on the human being as primarily a thinking being. Freedom, they counter, is central to human existence....

Sartre and Evil: Guidelines for a Struggle
ISBN: 9780313278617 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Sartre has more to say about Evil--its origins in, effects on modern man, and how to fight it--than any other philosopher in the 20th century. In this book, the authors examine many of Sartre's literary and philosophical writings for what they have to say about the nature of Evil and its effect on our lives. From this, they evolve guidelines for those wishing to fight Evil in their own lives. Using examples from their experience with human rights violations, the authors suggest that Evil is any attempt to purposely destroy the freedom of a person, and clearly demonstrate that Sartre's work...

Hobbema and Heidegger: On Truth and Beauty
ISBN: 9780820481685 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book shows how the beautiful landscape paintings of Meindert Hobbema, a seventeenth-century painter of the Dutch Golden Age, are in accord with the thought of Martin Heidegger, a twentieth-century philosopher, on beauty and truth. Since little is known about Hobbema s life, this work concentrates on ideas that are central to Heidegger s philosophy of art and beauty and the way these ideas are attuned to Hobbema s landscapes. Heidegger holds that the beauty of a great work of art calls out from that work and is firmly linked to the disclosure of hidden truths concerning essences of...

Naguib Mahfouz's Egypt: Existential Themes in His Writings
ISBN: 9780313268762 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In November 1988 Naguib Mahfouz became the first Arab writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. In this study of his writings only now being widely translated into English, Haim Gordon, an Israeli professor committed to intercultural dialogue, examines Mahfouz's work from an existential perspective. While Mahfouz is first and foremost a storyteller, he gives the reader an extra baksheesh. By telling stories of persons from all walks of life--civil servants, peasants, pimps, lawyers, and businessmen--Mahfouz depicts the existential problems that Egyptians face today. Using a Socratic... In November 1988 Naguib Mahfouz became the first Arab writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. In this study of his writings only now being... |

The Heidegger-Buber Controversy: The Status of the I-Thou
ISBN: 9780313309175 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The I-Thou controversy between these two thinkers is a significant but often overlooked issue in philosophy and theology. In one of the first books to truly address the subject, Haim Gordon explores the arguments of both Martin Heidegger and Martin Buber regarding the The I-Thou relationship and its significance for human existence. Gordon's work illuminates Heidegger's complex and enlightening ontology--one that describes the everyday life of the human in such a way that there is no place for the I-Thou relationship. Buber, on the other hand, argues for the significance of the I-Thou... The I-Thou controversy between these two thinkers is a significant but often overlooked issue in philosophy and theology.

Rebelling against the rationalism of such philosophers as Descartes and Hegel, existentialists reject the emphasis placed on man as primarily a thinking being. Freedom is central to human existence, and human relations and encounters cannot be reduced simply to thinking: the whole being is involved with the progress toward freedom.
