If I Should Die
ISBN: 9780268031602 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What does death really mean? Is there life after death? Is that idea even intelligible? Despite our constant confrontation with death there has been little serious philosophical reflection on the meaning of death and even less on the classical question of immortality. Popular books on death and dying abound, but they are largely manuals for dying with composure, or individual near death experiences of light at the end of the tunnel. This lively conversation includes various views on these matters, from John Lachs's gentle but firm insistence that the notion of immortality is philosophically...

Civility
ISBN: 9780268022556 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Are Americans less civil than they used to be? If so, is that a bad thing? Perhaps we are just learning to be more honest. And what does civility mean? Is it just good manners? It so, perhaps it is only the complaint of privileged classes, annoyed that taxi drivers are increasingly rude and that men no longer give up their seats to women on public transportation. Or is civility a question of morality? The philosopher Peter Bertocci once argued that promptness is a fundamental form of social justice.
