Bible Readers and Lay Writers in Early Modern England: Gender and Self-Definition in an Emergent Writing Culture
ISBN: 9781138246638 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Bible Readers and Lay Writers in Early Modern England studies how immersion in the Bible among layfolk gave rise to a non-professional writing culture, one of the first instances of ordinary people taking up the pen as part of their daily lives. Kate Narveson examines the development of the culture, looking at the close connection between reading and writing practices, the influence of gender, and the habit of applying Scripture to personal experience. She explores too the tensions that arose between lay and clergy as layfolk embraced not just the chance to read Scripture but the opportunity...

No theory is more passionately and widely defined, or decried, than is liberalism in contemporary Anglo-American philosophy. But what is this theory, on which so much ink is spilled?

ISBN: 9780742548435 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Jan Narveson asks the provocative, philosophical question: is the state necessary? In this unusual introduction to political philosophy, Narveson draws on the history of political philosophy and discusses its main theories_classic liberal, democratic, socialist, radical_with reference to how each sees the place of the individual in the political order.

His argument is ultimately anti-statist and takes seriously the...

Respecting Persons in Theory and Practice: Essays on Moral and Political Philosophy
ISBN: 9780742513303 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Respecting Persons in Theory and Practice is a collection of essays of the moral and political philosophy of Jan Narveson. The essays in this collection share a consistent theme running through much of Narveson's moral and political philosophy, namely that politics and morals stem from the interests of individual people, and have no antecedent authority over us. Rather, the source of such authority lies in the way people are related to one another, and most especially, in the exigencies of cooperation. Humans have plenty of problems, Narveson argues, but we are perhaps unique among animals in...

Morality and Utility
ISBN: 9781421430911 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the past half-century, Utilitarianism has fallen out of favor among professional philosophers, except in such "amended" forms as "Ideal" and "Rule" Utilitarianism. Professor Narveson contends that amendments and qualifications are unnecessary and misguided, and that a careful interpretation and application of the original theory, as advocated by Bentham, the Mills, and Sidgwick, obviates any need for modification. Drawing on the analytical work of such influential recent thinkers as Stevenson, Toulmin, Hare, Nowell-Smith, and Baier, the author attempts to draw a more careful and detailed...

Are Liberty and Equality Compatible?
ISBN: 9780521883825 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Are the political ideals of liberty and equality compatible? This question is of central and continuing importance in political philosophy, moral philosophy, and welfare economics. In this book, two distinguished philosophers take up the debate. Jan Narveson argues that a political ideal of negative liberty is incompatible with any substantive ideal of equality, while James P. Sterba argues that Narveson's own ideal of negative liberty is compatible, and in fact leads to the requirements of a substantive ideal of equality. Of course, they cannot both be right. Thus, the details of their...
