The Necessity of Theater: The Art of Watching and Being Watched
ISBN: 9780195394801 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What is unique and essential about theater? What separates it from other arts? Do we need "theater" in some fundamental way? The art of theater, as Paul Woodruff says in this elegant and unique book, is as necessary - and as powerful - as language itself. Defining theater broadly, including sporting events and social rituals, he treats traditional theater as only one possibility in an art that - at its most powerful - can change lives and (as some peoples believe) bring a divine presence to earth.

Philosophers and classicists examine Sophocles' treatment of Oedipus, the man who did not know himself, in these new essays.

Reverence: Renewing a Forgotten Virtue
ISBN: 9780199350803 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Reverence is an ancient virtue that survives among us in half-forgotten patterns of civility and moments of inarticulate awe. Reverence gives meaning to much that we do, yet the word has almost passed out of our vocabulary. Reverence, says philosopher and classicist Paul Woodruff, begins in an understanding of human limitations. From this grows the capacity to be in awe of whatever we believe lies outside our control -- God, truth, justice, nature, even death. It is a quality of character that is especially important in leadership and in teaching, although it figures in virtually every...

First Democracy: The Challenge of an Ancient Idea
ISBN: 9780195177183 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Americans have an unwavering faith in democracy and are ever eager to import it to nations around the world. But how democratic is our own "democracy"? If you can vote, if the majority rules, if you have elected representatives--does this automatically mean that you have a democracy? In this eye-opening look at an ideal that we all take for granted, classical scholar Paul Woodruff offers some surprising answers to these questions.
Drawing on classical literature, philosophy, and history--with many intriguing passages from Sophocles, Aesop, and Plato, among others--Woodruff immerses us in...

ISBN: 9780199356881 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) We live in a world where CEOs give themselves million dollar bonuses even as their companies go bankrupt and ordinary workers are laid off; where athletes make millions while teachers struggle to survive; a world, in short, where rewards are often unfairly meted out. In The Ajax Dilemma, Paul Woodruff examines one of today's most pressing moral issues: how to distribute rewards and public recognition without damaging the social fabric. How should we honor those whose behavior and achievement is essential to our overall success? Is it fair or right to lavish rewards on the...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Veterans' issues are front and center now, after Iraq and Afghanistan, as they were not after Vietnam. This is a good time to put before the public the texts of these two plays, which were started during the author's tour of duty in Vietnam and finished soon after. A soldier returns from a long war, expecting a welcome, and no one recognizes him. In his own house he is treated like a beggar. This is the ancient story of Ulysses, but it also expresses how many veterans feel today. How can any civilian understand what soldiers have seen and done? How can civilians take back into their arms...
