Why Is Everyone Else Wrong?: Explorations in Truth and Reason
ISBN: 9781441978585 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 29 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) Especially when there is a lot of political rhetoric in the air, those of us with strong political convictions are inclined to reflect on just why we hold certain views even as others who are basically like us hold very different ones. Social scientists and other thinkers struggle to explain it, but the puzzle remains in part because they, too, disagree so much with one another. Whether the arena is politics, religion, business, scientific research, or education, individuals who operate in the same environment and experience the same conditions may have radically different interpretations...

Human Rights and Human Liberties: A Radical Reconsideration of the American Political Tradition, Second Revised Edition
ISBN: 9780761853589 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Basic, natural human rights have been identified as the bulwark against government oppression and tyranny--- by John Locke, for example --- but are always disputed by skeptics on numerous grounds. Human Rights and Human Liberties takes up the challenge of those disputes and argues that human beings do indeed have the fundamental, unalienable rights to their lives, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and so forth --- indeed, to do whatever they will that does not violate the rights of others (even if the exercise of their rights isn't wise, prudent, or civil). That is the meaning of living as free...

The Pseudo-Science of B. F. Skinner
ISBN: 9780761836544 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Pseudo-Science of B.F. Skinner was Professor Tibor Machan's first book. Now, nearly forty years after its initial publication and after three dozen additional books published by Machan, it is available again through University Press of America. This study is still alive with its initial inquiry into the work of B.F. Skinner, and it is just as influential upon young students today as it was forty years ago. Was Skinner a bona fide scientist or an amateur metaphysician? Was Skinner correct to hold that only what can be observed matters when it comes to understanding ourselves? Was he...

Liberty Option
ISBN: 9780907845638 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) The Liberty Option advances the idea that for compelling moral as well as practical reasons it is the free society -- with the rule of law founded on the principles of private property rights, its complete respect for individual sovereignty and properly limited legal authorities -- not one or another version of statism that serves justice best, is most prosperous and encourages the greatest measure of individual virtue on the part of the citizenry. The work shows why this is so and lays out some of the most crucial implications of the idea. While the book presents a principled...

The Passion for Liberty
ISBN: 9780742531031 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) In The Passion for Liberty, Tibor R. Machan defends a libertarian conception of a free society, one in which individuals are sovereign, self-governing beings, not subject to others' will without their consent. In the tradition of John Locke, Adam Smith, Ayn Rand, and Robert Nozick, Machan argues that such a society--far from being hedonistic, licentious, or disorderly--is the best possible ideal for humans. In doing so, he addresses specific issues such as affirmative action, abortion, military intervention, and torture in light of the relationship between liberty and democracy. As freedom...

Objectivity: Recovering Determinate Reality in Philosophy, Science, and Everyday Life
ISBN: 9781138620056 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 131 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) The question of objectivity is whether human beings are capable of knowing reality just as it is, or whether there is some necessary distortion in our grasp of the nature of things imposed either by the very nature of our cognitive mechanism, or by such factors as language, culture, personal ambitions, psychological disorders, and class interests. Could it be that we do not see the world at all, since we see it from a particular point of view? Can we ever satisfactorily establish that our understanding of reality is accurate, or must that always remain in doubt? In this book Professor Machan...

Anarchism/Minarchism: Is a Government Part of a Free Country?
ISBN: 9780754660668 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) It is well known that the radical libertarian philosopher Robert Nozick sharply distinguished his vision of the free society from egalitarian liberals such as John Rawls. Less remarked upon is the distinction he drew between the free society governed by a strictly limited government, commonly referred to as 'minarchism', and the society without any government at all a anarchism. In this volume, the editors, Long a an anarchist a and Machan a a minarchist a have brought together a selection of specially commissioned essays from key theorists actively involved in this debate. Each tackles the...

Revisiting Marxism: A Bourgeois Reassessment
ISBN: 9780761832959 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For some time there has been no direct critique of Marx's ideas from those who value the position he most harshly attacked, bourgeois capitalism. The few who did criticize Marx were economists such as Thomas Sowell, Eugen Bohm-Bawerk, and Ludwig von Mises. Others attacked Marx's ideas, but did not actually defend the concept of capitalism. In 1987, shortly before the fall of the Soviet Union, David Conway published his Farewell to Marx, which offered a philosophical critique of Marx. This work, however, developed, in part, from a position that uncritically embraces economism, or what the...

Classical Individualism: The Supreme Importance of Each Human Being
ISBN: 9780415757188 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) In Classical Individualism, Tibor R. Machan argues that individualism is far from being dead. Machan identifies, develops and defends what he calls classical individualism - an individualism humanised by classical philosophy, rooted in Aristotle rather than Hobbes. This book does not reject the social nature of human beings, but finds that every one has a self-directed agent who is responsible for what he or she does. Machan rejects all types of collectivism, including communitarianism, ethnic solidarity, racial unity, and gender identity. The ideas expressed here have important social and...

Liberty and Culture
ISBN: 9780879755249 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Has Marxism finally shown itself to be a bankrupt social philosophy? Why should we strive for economic democracy? Are individual human rights to be protected only so long as no one is inconvenienced? Are radical measures needed in the defense of our freedoms? Can competitive, profit-oriented free market capitalism coincide with heart-felt public concern for the social welfare of others? Why do so many people harbor anti-business attitudes? Have we become a nation of moral eunuchs who won't, or can't stand up for their own rights? Is there is right to health care? Has society really been...

Right Road to Radical Freedom
ISBN: 9781845400187 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 125 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) This work focuses on the topic of freedom. The author starts with the old issue of free will do we as individual human beings choose our conduct, at least partly independently, freely? He comes down on the side of libertarians who answer Yes, and scorns the compatibilism of philosophers like Daniel Dennett, who try to rescue some kind of freedom from a physically determined universe. From here he moves on to apply his belief in radical freedom to areas of life such as religion, politics, and morality, tackling subjects as diverse as taxation, private property, justice and the welfare...

Putting Humans First: Why We Are Nature's Favorite
ISBN: 9780742533455 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) Putting Humans First passionately argues for the primacy of human life in the natural world and the corresponding justice of humans making use of animals; it disputes the concept of "animal rights" and "animal liberation." It shows human beings to be very much a part of nature, though not, ordinarily, of the wilds. Given their nature, Machan argues that human beings not only can, but ought to use nature to serve their own needs.
