Fame
ISBN: 9781138161108 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One of the most distinctive cultural phenomena of recent years has been the rise and rise of fame. In this book, Mark Rowlands argues that our obsession with fame has transformed it. Fame was once associated with excellence or achievement in some or other field of endeavour. But today we are obsessed with something that is, in effect, quite different: fame unconnected with any discernible distinction, fame that allows a person to be famous simply for being famous. This book shows why this new fame is simultaneously fascinating and worthless. To understand this new form of fame, Rowlands...

ISBN: 9781847082633 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) 'Most of the serious thinking I have done over the past twenty years has been done while running.' Mark Rowlands has run for most of his life. He has also been a professional philosopher. And for him the two - running and philosophising - are inextricably connected. In Running with the Pack he tells us about the most significant runs of his life: from the entire day he spent running as a boy in Wales, to the runs along French beaches and up Irish mountains with his beloved wolf Brenin, and through Florida swamps more recently with his dog Nina. Woven throughout the book are profound...

Can Animals Be Moral?
ISBN: 9780190240301 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From eye-witness accounts of elephants apparently mourning the death of family members to an experiment that showed that hungry rhesus monkeys would not take food if doing so gave another monkey an electric shock, there is much evidence of animals displaying what seem to be moral feelings. But despite such suggestive evidence, philosophers steadfastly deny that animals can act morally, and for reasons that virtually everyone has found convincing. In Can Animals be Moral?, philosopher Mark Rowlands examines the reasoning of philosophers and scientists on this question--ranging...

Memory and the Self: Phenomenology, Science and Autobiography
ISBN: 9780190241469 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The idea that our memories, in some sense, make us who we are, is a common one-and not at all implausible. After all, what could make us who we are if not the things we have experienced, thought, felt and desired on these idiosyncratic pathways through space and time that we call lives? And how can we retain these experiences, thoughts, feelings and desires if not through memory? On the other hand, most of what we have experienced has been forgotten. And there is now a considerable body of evidence that suggests that, even when we think we remember, our memories are likely to be distorted,...

Philosopher and the Wolf: Lessons from the Wild on Love, Death, and Happiness
ISBN: 9781605981338 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Mark Rowlands was a young philosophy professor, rootless and searching for life s greater meaning. Shortly after arriving at the University of Alabama, he noticed a classified ad in the local paper advertising wolf cubs for sale, and decided he had to investigate, if only out of curiosity. It was love at first sight, and the bond that grew between philosopher and wolf reaffirms for us the incredible relationships that exist between man and animal. When Mark welcomed his new companion, Brenin, into his home, but more than just an exotic pet, Brenin exerted an immense influence on Rowlands...

Animals Like Us
ISBN: 9781859843864 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Foot-and-mouth and mad-cow disease are but two of the results of treating animals as commodities, subject only to commercial constraints and ignoring all natural and moral considerations. Chickens hanging by their necks on conveyor belts, bloated dead sheep with their legs in the air, mutilated dogs waiting to die after undergoing horrendous experiments in the name of science or even just product-testing these are some of the images that illustrate the indifference of a consumerist society to the suffering of animals. Few are willing to recognize that the packaged, sanitized supermarket meat...

The Body in Mind: Understanding Cognitive Processes
ISBN: 9780521652742 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this book, Mark Rowlands challenges the Cartesian view of the mind as a self-contained monadic entity, and offers in its place a radical externalist or environmentalist model of cognitive processes. Drawing on both evolutionary theory and a detailed examination of the processes involved in perception, memory, thought and language use, Rowlands argues that cognition is, in part, a process whereby creatures manipulate and exploit relevant objects in their environment. This innovative book provides a foundation for an unorthodox but increasingly popular view of the nature of cognition.
