What Is Truth?: From the Academy to the Vatican
ISBN: 9780521717755 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Is Christian truth unchanging? Can it develop over time? To what extent may the Catholic community jettison or modify earlier beliefs? Should it embrace insights from other cultures or revise its views on matters such as the status of women or church-state relations? In this wide-ranging and provocative book, John Rist brings his expertise in ancient philosophy, theology and history to bear on these questions as they relate to Roman Catholicism and to human society at large, both in the early Christian centuries and in our own times.

Augustine Deformed: Love, Sin and Freedom in the Western Moral Tradition
ISBN: 9781107075795 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 434 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Augustine established a moral framework that dominated Western culture for more than a thousand years. His partly flawed presentation of some of its key concepts (love, will and freedom), however, prompted subsequent thinkers to attempt to repair this framework, and their efforts often aggravated the very problems they intended to solve. Over time, dissatisfaction with an imperfect Augustinian theology gave way to increasingly secular and eventually impersonal moral systems. This volume traces the distortion of Augustine's thought from the twelfth century to the present and examines its...

Augustine: Ancient Thought Baptized
ISBN: 9780521589529 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The aim of this work is to show how Augustine adapted a deeply Platonic outlook to the new world of Christianity, and how he constructed a vision in which Platonism and Christianity pointed in the same direction. Augustine is skillfully contextualized, while the enduring, if often unpopular, power of his claims on a variety of topics is discussed in a manner that puts a fresh perspective on some of his chief concerns. These include: divine and human love; marriage and sexuality; the lust for power; and God's providence and omnipotence.

Infallibility, Integrity and Obedience: The Papacy and the Roman Catholic Church, 1848-2023
ISBN: 9780227179390 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. The doctrinal and structural revolution currently underway in the Roman Catholic Church is alarming for several reasons, not least because of the arbitrary nature of its imposition and the absence of resistance it has encountered. The reluctance of many to challenge the authority of the pope, tied to the increasing personal veneration by the faithful of each successive incumbent of the Holy See, is arguably a symptom of unresolved unclarity surrounding the nature of authority in the Church dating back to the First Vatican Council. In Infallibility, Integrity and Obedience, John...

Real Ethics: Reconsidering the Foundations of Morality
ISBN: 9780521006088 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. John Rist surveys the history of ethics from Plato to the present and offers a vigorous defence of an ethical theory based on a revised version of Platonic realism. In a wide-ranging discussion he examines well-known alternatives to Platonism, in particular--Epicurus, Hobbes, Hume and Kant, as well as contemporary "practical reasoners." His accessible study is enhanced by a strong sense of philosophical history, and will be of interest to students and scholars of ethics.

On the Independence of Matthew and Mark
ISBN: 9780521018722 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It has for long been generally assumed that the relationship between our canonical texts of the Gospels of Mark and Matthew is to be explained in terms of direct literary dependence, either of Matthew on Mark, or of Mark on Matthew. Professor Rist questions this assumption vigourously, and argues that it leads to contradictory and paradoxical conclusions. He replaces the theory of literary dependence with the thesis that Matthew and Mark grew up independently on the basis of a common oral tradition, and supports his view by detailed examination of a large number of parallel passages. The...

What is a Person?: Realities, Constructs, Illusions
ISBN: 9781108478076 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this book, John M. Rist offers an account of the concept of 'person' as it has developed in the West, and how it has become alien in a post-Christian culture. He begins by identifying the 'mainline tradition' about persons as it evolved from the time of Plato to the High Middle Ages, then turns to successive attacks on it in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, then proceeds to the 'five ways' in which the tradition was savaged or distorted in the nineteenth century and beyond. He concludes by considering whether ideas from contemporary philosophical movements, those that combine a...
