Seeing with the Hands: Blindness, Vision and Touch After Descartes
ISBN: 9781474405317 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why has there been a persistent fascination by the sighted, including philosophers, poets and the public, in what the blind 'see'? Is the experience of being blind, as Descartes declared, like 'seeing with the hands'? What happens on the rare occasions when surgery allows previously blind people to see for the very first time? And how did evidence from early experimental surgery inform those philosophical debates about vision and touch?

Seeing with the Hands: Blindness, Vision and Touch After Descartes
ISBN: 9781474405324 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The "man born blind restored to light" was one of two foundational myths of the Enlightenment, according to Foucault. With ophthalmic surgery in its infancy, the fascination with blindness and what the blind 'see' once their vision is restored remained largely hypothetical. Was being blind, as Descartes once remarked, like 'seeing with the hands'? Did evidence from early ophthalmic surgery resolve debates about the relationship between vision and touch in the newly sighted? Has the standard representation of blind figures in literature been modified by recent autobiographical accounts of...

Given that touch and touching is so central to everyday embodied existence, why has it been largely ignored by social scientists for so long?

Crises and Challenges for the European Union
ISBN: 9781350342903 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The crises of the European Union extend beyond the challenges of Covid-19, Brexit, the Eurozone, and mass migration, cutting to the core of the EU itself.
