ISBN: 9788381967631 / Polski / broszurowa / 2024 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Pochodzący z 2003 roku esej filozoficzny nieżyjącej brytyjskiej filozof, Mary Midgley (19192018) to jej pierwsza praca przetłumaczona na język polski.Autorka opisuje trzy mity, które odziedziczyliśmy po epoce oświecenia, a które ciągle kształtują wyobraźnię społeczną: mit umowy społecznej, mit postępu i mit wszechkompetentnej nauki, wykazując, że wszystkie one mają istotną cechę wspólną: urok redukcji przynoszącej przyjemność twierdzenia, że rzeczywistość jest prostsza, niż się wydaje.

The Myths We Live by
ISBN: 9780415610247 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. With a new Introduction by the author 'An elegant and sane little book. - The New Statesman Myths, as Mary Midgley argues in this powerful book, are everywhere. In political thought they sit at the heart of theories of human nature and the social contract; in economics in the pursuit of self interest; and in science the idea of human beings as machines, which originates in the seventeenth century, is a today a potent force. Far from being the opposite of science, however, Midgley argues that myth is a central part of it. Myths are neither lies nor mere...

One of the UK's foremost moral philosophers, Mary Midgley recounts her remarkable story in this elegiac and moving account of friendships found and lost, bitter philosophical battles and of a profound love of teaching.
In spite of her many books and public profile, little is known about Mary's life. Part of a famous generation of women philosophers that includes Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Mary Warnock and Iris Murdoch, Midgley tells us in vivid and humorous fashion how they cut a swathe through the arid landscape of 1950s British Philosophy, writing and arguing about the...

The Ethical Primate: Humans, Freedom and Morality
ISBN: 9780415095303 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 203 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In The Ethical Primate, Mary Midgley, 'one of the sharpest critical pens in the West' according to the Times Literary Supplement, addresses the fundamental question of human freedom.
Scientists and philosophers have found it difficult to understand how each human-being can be a living part of the natural world and still be free. Midgley explores their responses to this seeming paradox and argues that our evolutionary origin explains both why and how human freedom and morality have come about. In The Ethical Primate, Mary Midgley, 'one of the sharpest critical pens in the West' according to the Times Literary Supplement, ad...

Utopias, Dolphins and Computers: Problems in Philosophical Plumbing
ISBN: 9780415133784 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why do the big philosophical questions so often strike us as far-fetched and little to with everyday life? Mary Midgley shows that it need not be that way; she shows that there is a need for philosophy in the real world. Her popularity as one of our foremost philosophers is based on a no-nonsense, down-to-earth approach to fundamental human problems, philosphical or otherwise. In Utopias, Dolphins and Computers she makes her case for philosophy as a difficult but necessary tool for solving some of the most pressing issues facing contemporary society.

Beast and Man : The Roots of Human Nature
ISBN: 9780415289863 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Philosophers have traditionally concentrated on the qualities that make human beings different from other species. In Beast and Man Mary Midgley stresses continuities. What makes people tick? Largely, she asserts, the same things as animals. She tells us humans are rather more like other animals than we previously allowed ourselves to believe, and reminds us just how primitive we are in comparison to the sophistication of many animals.

Earthy Realism: The Meaning of Gaia
ISBN: 9781845400804 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 111 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. GAIA, named after the ancient Greek mother-goddess, is the notion that the Earth and the life on it form an active, self-maintaining whole. By its use of personification it attacks the view that the physical world is inert and lifeless. It has a scientific side, as shown by the new university departments of earth science which bring biology and geology together to study the continuity of the cycle. It also has a visionary or spiritual aspect. What the contributors to this book believe is needed is to bring these two angles together. With global warming now an accepted fact, the lessons of...

Wickedness: A Philosophical Essay
ISBN: 9780415253987 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. To look into the darkness of the human soul is a frightening venture. Here Mary Midgley does so. In Wickedness she sets out to delineate not so much the nature of wickedness as its actual sources. Midgley's analysis proves that the capacity for real wickedness is an inevitable part of human nature. This is not however a blanket acceptance of evil. She provides us with a framework that accepts its existence yet offers humankind the possibility of rejecting this part of our nature. Out of this dark journey she returns with an offering to us: an understanding of human nature that enhances our...

Some decisions simply direct our everyday comings and goings; others affect our individual destinies. How do we make those choices?

Wisdom, Information and Wonder: What Is Knowledge For?
ISBN: 9780415028301 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This treatise on the question of knowledge challenges readers to re-examine the protective barriers built to isolate science from other forms of enquiry, and each particular science from its neighbours. The author argues that philosophy itself must stop being treated as an obscure speciality, and take up its role as the key to understanding. The text will be of interest to those concerned with the plight of education and institutionalized knowledge, and the fate of learning in the future.

The Solitary Self: Darwin and the Selfish Gene
ISBN: 9781138169296 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Renowned philosopher Mary Midgley explores the nature of our moral constitution to challenge the view that reduces human motivation to self-interest. Midgley argues cogently and convincingly that simple, one-sided accounts of human motives, such as the 'selfish gene' tendency in recent neo-Darwinian thought, may be illuminating but are always unrealistic. Such neatness, she shows, cannot be imposed on human psychology. She returns to Darwin's original writings to show how the reductive individualism which is now presented as Darwinism does not derive from Darwin but from a wider, Hobbesian...

Animals and Why They Matter
ISBN: 9780820320410 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Animals and Why They Matter" examines the barriers that our philosophical traditions have erected between human beings and animals and reveals that the too-often ridiculed subject of animal rights is an issue crucially related to such problems within the human community as racism, sexism, and age discrimination. Mary Midgley's profound and clearly written narrative is a thought-provoking study of the way in which the opposition between reason and emotion has shaped our moral and political ideas and the problems it has raised. Whether considering vegetarianism, women's rights, or the...

Can't We Make Moral Judgements?
ISBN: 9781474298001 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How many times do we hear the statement 'It's not for me to judge'? It conveys one of the most popular ideas of our time: that to make judgements of others is essentially wrong. In this classic text, the renowned moral philosopher Mary Midgely turns a spotlight on the ever popular stance in society that we should not make moral judgements on others. Guiding the reader through the diverse approaches to this complex subject, she interrogates our strong beliefs about such things as the value of freedom that underlie our scepticism about making moral judgements. She shows how the question of...

In this book one of Britain's leading philosophers tackles a question at the root of our civilisation: What is knowledge for?
