Art Rethought: The Social Practices of Art
ISBN: 9780198747758 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Human beings engage works of the arts in many different ways: they sing songs while working, they kiss icons, they create and dedicate memorials. Yet almost all philosophers of art of the modern period have ignored this variety and focused entirely on just one mode of engagement, namely, disinterested attention. In the first part of the book Nicholas Wolterstorff asks why philosophers have concentrated on just this one mode of engagement. The answer he proposes is that almost all philosophers have accepted what the author calls the grand narrative concerning art in the modern world....

God We Worship: An Exploration of Liturgical Theology
ISBN: 9780802872494 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In The God We Worship Nicholas Wolterstorff takes a ground-up approach to liturgical theology, examining the oft-hidden implications of traditional elements of liturgy. Given that -no liturgy has ever been composed from scratch, - Wolterstorff argues that the assumptions taken into worship are key to perceiving the real depths of historical Christianity's understanding of God.
Across the liturgies of the Orthodox, Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, and Reformed churches, Wolterstorff highlights theologically neglected elements of God, such as an implicit liturgical understanding of God...

Justice: Rights and Wrongs
ISBN: 9780691146300 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Wide-ranging and ambitious, Justice combines moral philosophy and Christian ethics to develop an important theory of rights and of justice as grounded in rights. Nicholas Wolterstorff discusses what it is to have a right, and he locates rights in the respect due the worth of the rights-holder. After contending that socially-conferred rights require the existence of natural rights, he argues that no secular account of natural human rights is successful; he offers instead a theistic account. Wolterstorff prefaces his systematic account of justice as grounded in rights with...

The Mighty and the Almighty: An Essay in Political Theology
ISBN: 9781107673809 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For a century or more political theology has been in decline. Recent years, however, have seen increasing interest not only in how church and state should be related, but in the relation between divine authority and political authority, and in what religion has to say about the limits of state authority and the grounds of political obedience. In this book, Nicholas Wolterstorff addresses this whole complex of issues. He takes account of traditional answers to these questions, but on every point stakes out new positions. Wolterstorff offers a fresh theological defense of liberal democracy,...

Art in Action: Toward a Christian Aesthetic
ISBN: 9780802818164 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Taking vigorous issue with the pervasive Western notion that the arts exist essentially for the purpose of aesthetic contemplation, Nicholas Wolterstorff proposes instead what he sees as an authentically Christian perspective: that art has a legitimate, even necessary, place in everyday life. While granting that galleries, theaters and concert halls serve a valid purpose, Wolterstorff argues that art should also be appreciated in action -- in private homes, in hotel lobbies, in factories and grocery stores, on main street.
His conviction that art should be multifunction is basic to the... Taking vigorous issue with the pervasive Western notion that the arts exist essentially for the purpose of aesthetic contemplation, Nicholas Woltersto...

Divine Discourse: Philosophical Reflections on the Claim That God Speaks
ISBN: 9780521475570 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The canonical texts and traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam claim that God speaks, but philosophers usually mistakenly treat such speech as revelation. Wolterstorff argues that contemporary speech-action theory offers a fascinating approach to the claim. He develops an innovative theory of interpretation along the way opposing the current near-consensus of Ricoeur and Derrida that there is something wrong-headed about interpreting a text to find out what its author said.

Justice in Love
ISBN: 9780802872944 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. An eminent Christian philosopher's take on justice, rights, wrongs -- and what love has to do with it all
Love and justice have long been prominent themes in the moral culture of the West, yet they are often considered to be almost hopelessly at odds with one another. In this book acclaimed Christian philosopher Nicholas Wolterstorff shows that justice and love are at heart perfectly compatible, and he argues that the commonly perceived tension between them reveals something faulty in our understanding of each. True benevolent love, he says, is always attentive... An eminent Christian philosopher's take on justice, rights, wrongs -- and what love has to do with it all

John Locke and the Ethics of Belief
ISBN: 9780521559096 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book discusses the ethics of belief that Locke developed in the last book of his Essay: how we ought to govern our opinions, especially on matters of religion and morality. Wolterstorff shows that this concern was instigated by the collapse of a once-unified moral and religious tradition in Europe into warring factions. After presenting Hume's powerful attack on Locke's recommended practice, Wolterstorff argues for Locke's originality and emphasizes his contribution to the "modernity" of post-sixteenth-century philosophy.

Inquiring about God: Volume 1, Selected Essays
ISBN: 9781107417274 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Inquiring about God is the first of two volumes of Nicholas Wolterstorff's collected papers. This volume collects Wolterstorff's essays on the philosophy of religion written over the last thirty-five years. The essays, which span a range of topics including Kant's philosophy of religion, the medieval (or classical) conception of God, and the problem of evil, are unified by the conviction that some of the central claims made by the classical theistic tradition, such as the claims that God is timeless, simple, and impassible, should be rejected. Still, Wolterstorff contends, rejecting the...
