The Remnants of Modernity: Two Essays on Sarmatism and Utopia in Polish Contemporary Literature
ISBN: 9783631629246 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 193 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Polish culture after 1989 has been defined by conflicts surrounding the remnants of modernity, phenomena marginalised during communism. The book considers two such phenomena: the search for a common tradition and the disappearance of utopia. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, romanticism provided a common tradition. After 1989, its place was assumed by Sarmatism, an elite and xenophobic pre-modern cultural formation, into which contradictory values were introduced, creating an explosive mixture of emancipation and populism. The second remnant, the heritage of utopia, is addressed in...

Illusion in Painting: An Attempt at Philosophical Interpretation
ISBN: 9783631640524 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book aims to present trompe-l il painting, which epitomizes the myth of the illusionistic image an early modern way of thinking about pictures, according to which it is possible to create an image identical to what it represents that at the same time preserves its own pictorial identity. Trompe-l il, despite being a marginal genre, embodied an ideal that painting should attain, and therefore is a good point of departure for analyzing issues such as (aesthetic) illusion in art. As the myth undermines Plato s aesthetics, it is his philosophy of art, with its dichotomies of...

Time and Alterity in South African Writing: André Brink, J.M. Coetzee, and Zakes Mda Revisited
ISBN: 9783631863343 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Covid-19 pandemic has thrust us all into a warped, disjointed 'coronatime,' which has both uncontrollably accelerated, and interminably decelerated, or got frozen. Just like the pandemic, this book provides a chance to reevaluate neoliberalism's temporal regimes of growth, decline, deceleration and acceleration. South Africa and its contemporary literature are a perfect background against which to think about temporality experimentally. Focusing on three South African authors, Andre Brink, J.M. Coetzee and Zakes Mda, the book examines contemporary South African revisioning of time and...

Dialectics Beyond Dialectics: Translated by Cain Elliott and Jan Burzyński
ISBN: 9783631626788 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 273 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Dialectics beyond Dialectics is a study of contemporary French philosophy from Bataille to Derrida. It analyses, on the first level of generalization, the decomposition of Hegelianism understood as philosophy of totality. Many French philosophers of the 20th century deconstruct Hegelian dialectics and harshly criticize the very idea of totality as either dangerous or impossible. The thesis of the book is that, on doing so, they do not really break with dialectics, but transform it. On the second level of generalization, the issue of the book is modernity and the thesis is that...

Farewell to Postmodernism: Social Theories of the Late Left
ISBN: 9783631626771 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 321 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In the late 1960s, a whole pantheon of thinkers regarding themselves as radicals stole a part of the anarchic praxis of late capitalism, turned it into philosophy, and with the resulting set of views turned against the foundations of the system in a purportedly radical gesture. Postmodernism was the name for the superficially revolutionary culture which then came into existence. The thought of the late left appears as the subsequent response to the cunning of the system.
The main figures of Farewell to Postmodernism are Perry Anderson, David Harvey, Fredric Jameson, Terry Eagleton... In the late 1960s, a whole pantheon of thinkers regarding themselves as radicals stole a part of the anarchic praxis of late capitalism, turned it int...

Between an Animal and a Machine: Stanislaw Lem's Technological Utopia
ISBN: 9783631672631 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The subject of this book is the philosophy of Stanislaw Lem. The first part contains an analysis and interpretation of one of his early works, The Dialogues. The author tries to show how Lem used the terminology of cybernetics to create a project of sociology and anthropology. The second part examines Lem's essay Summa technologiae, which is considered as the project of human autoevolution. The term "autoevolution" is a neologism for the concept of humans taking control over their own biological evolution and form in order to improve the conditions of their being. In this interpretation,...

Toward Metaphysics: New Tendencies in French Philosophy in the Middle of the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9783631626726 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book presents and analyzes specific metaphysical tendencies that were revived within particular branches of French philosophy from the 1930s to the 1960s. Using the examples of the five philosophers active in this period (Louis Lavelle, Ferdinand Alquie, Jean Wahl, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Emmanuel Levinas), who did not belong to or did not form any school of thought, the author attempts to show that the specificity of this non-classical metaphysics could be located in its anti-naturalist, non-substantial, non-objectival, dialectic, critical, non-systematic and pluralist character. The...

Strangers by Choice: An Asocial Philosophy of Life.- Translated by Tul'si Bhambry and Agnieszka Waśkiewicz. Editorial Work by Tul'si B
ISBN: 9783631640401 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 297 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Strangers by Choice explores voluntary otherness as a philosophy of life. This philosophy is asocial in the sense that its followers tend to privilege separateness over belonging, and yet it does not lead to alienation or isolation from society. Building on Simmel's notion of the stranger, the author sheds light on the experience of spiritual idealists, both real and fictional, who maintain a distance from mainstream society in order to live by the laws of their transcendental homelands. Waskiewicz addresses representations of strangeness from a broad spectrum of Western culture,...

Urban Politics of a Sporting Mega Event: Legitimacy and Legacy of Euro 2012 in Anthropological Perspective
ISBN: 9783319521046 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book looks at the UEFA European Championship (Euro 2012) as both a crowning achievement of, and a way to sustain, the urban entrepreneurial strategy of Poznań, Poland. As the host city of the tournament almost 25 years after Poland's transformation from a centrally planned to a market economy in 1989, the author focuses on how the local myths and traditions of resourcefulness were invoked to embed an entrepreneurial urban strategy. The book also observes how the very same tradition of resourcefulness was used by the opposition to challenge the urban policies. Contrary to the...
