Meddling: On the Virtue of Leaving Others Alone
ISBN: 9780253014719 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. John Lachs claims that we are surrounded by people who seem to know what is good for us better than we do ourselves. Lachs discusses the joy of choice and the rare virtue of leaving others alone to lead their lives as they see fit. He does not mean that we abandon them in their genuine hour of need, but that we aid them on their own terms and not make help conditional upon adopting approved beliefs and behaviors. Lachs believes help needs to be temporary to discourage dependence. He contends that leaving others alone in this fashion will create a community that is caring and responsive to...

Stoic Pragmatism
ISBN: 9780253223760 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) John Lachs, one of American philosophy's most distinguished interpreters, turns to William James, Josiah Royce, Charles S. Peirce, John Dewey, and George Santayana to elaborate stoic pragmatism, or a way to live life within reasonable limits. Stoic pragmatism makes sense of our moral obligations in a world driven by perfectionist human ambition and unreachable standards of achievement. Lachs proposes a corrective to pragmatist amelioration and stoic acquiescence by being satisfied with what is good enough. This personal, yet modest, philosophy offers penetrating insights into the American...

Mind and Philosophers
ISBN: 9780826512222 / Angielski / Twarda / 1987 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The essays collected in this volume and written between 1959-1980 clearly belong to professional philosophy in both tone and context. Yet their ultimate aim is to explore larger problems and to set the groundwork for dealing with them. For the focus of attention throughout is human nature, not so much in the details of its structure or its social and moral manifestations as in its most general features and constituents. What sort of beings we are and how mind and body are related is the question at the very core of all inquiries into human nature.

The Relevance of Philosophy to Life
ISBN: 9780826512628 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. With The Relevance of Philosophy to Life, eminent American philosopher John Lachs reminds us that philosophy is not merely a remote subject of academic research and discourse, but an ever-changing field which can help us navigate through some of the chaos of late twentieth-century living. It provides a clear-eyed look at important philosophical issues--the primacy of values, rationality and irrationality, society and its discontents, life and death, and the traits of human nature--as related to the human condition in the modern world.

Freedom and Limits
ISBN: 9780823256754 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Freedom and Limits is a defense of the value of freedom in the context of human finitude. A contribution to the American tradition of philosophy, it focuses attention on moral problems as we encounter them in daily life, where the search for perfection and the incessant drive to meet obligations make it difficult to attain satisfaction. The book argues that uniformity is unproductive: Human natures are varied and changeable, making the effort to impose a unitary good on everyone futile. Moreover, we don't need to strive for more than what is good enough: Finite achievements should be...
