Jahrhunderts offenbart Iris Murdoch die Unzulänglichkeiten der analytischen Moralphilosophie und fordert einen Richtungswechsel.

Stattdessen besteht sie in der Orientierung an... In diesem nun erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung vorliegenden Klassiker der Philosophie des 20.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) These two major novels--by one of the most influential British writers of the twentieth century--are ferociously dark comedies that combine playfulness with profundity. A Severed Head (1961) is one of Iris Murdoch's most entertaining works, tracing the turbulent emotional journey of Martin Lynch-Gibbon, a smug, prosperous London wine merchant and unfaithful husband, whose life is turned inside out when his wife leaves him for her psychoanalyst. The story takes bedroom farce to a new level of sophistication, with scenes that are both wickedly funny and emblematic of the way...

Iris Murdoch's richly peopled novel revolves round a happily married couple, Kate and Octavian, and the friends of all ages attached to their household in Dorset. The novel deals with love in its two aspects, the self-gratifying and the impersonal -- the nice and the good -- as they are embodied in a fascinating array of paired characters.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Introduction by Declan Kiberd The scene is Dublin in 1916. As rebellion looms, tension mounts in the sombre, rain-soaked Dublin streets. A single Anglo-Irish family provides the diverse characters: Pat Dumay, a Catholic and an Irish patriot; his pious mother pursuing her private war with his step-father; Pat's English-Protestant cousin Andrew Chase-White, an officer in King Edward's Horse and Frances, the girl he loves. Weaving between them all moves Millie Kinnard - fast, feminist, and only just respectable.
