ISBN: 9780312087265 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 177 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this book, Mary Midgely turns a spotlight on the fashionable view that we no longer need or use moral judgements.

Beast and Man: The Roots of Human Nature
ISBN: 9780415289870 / Angielski / Miękka / 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, one of our foremost intellectuals, 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. A veritable classic for our age, Beast and Man has helped change the way we think about ourselves and 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.
How should we treat animals?... 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...

The Myths We Live by
ISBN: 9781138834798 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 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 stories but a network of powerful...

Wickedness
ISBN: 9781138127012 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 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, with her customary brilliance and clarity. Midgley's analysis proves that the capacity for real wickedness is an inevitable part of human nature.

Evolution as a Religion : Strange Hopes and Stranger Fears
ISBN: 9780415278324 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Midgley exposes the illogical logic of poor doctrines that shelter themselves behind the prestige of science. Always at home when taking on the high priests of evolutionary theory - Dawkins, Wilson and their acolytes - she has described evolution as the creation-myth of our age. In Evolution As A Religion she examines how science comes to be used as a substitute for religion and points out how badly that role distorts it. Her argument is insightful - a lively indictment of these misuses of science.

Owl of Minerva: A Memoir
ISBN: 9780415371391 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One of the UK's foremost living 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...
