Mortal Thoughts: Religion, Secularity, & Identity in Shakespeare and Early Modern Culture
ISBN: 9780198831181 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since the nineteenth century it has been assumed that the concept of personal identity in the early modern period is bound up with secularization. Indeed, many explanations of the emergence of modernity have been based on this thesis, in which Shakespeare as a secular author has played a central role. However, the idea of secularization is now everywhere under threat. The secularity of modern society is less apparent than it was a generation ago. Shakespeare, too, has come to be seen in a religious perspective. What happens to human identity in this different framework? Mortal Thoughts asks...

Anti-Social Engineering the Hyper-Manipulated Self
ISBN: 9780557999095 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Chasing philosophers through the ages, following our own ideas about the self, to dismantle both himself and modernity, the author brings in this tiny work, with candour, wisdom and depth, a dismantling of thought, a critique of the species, a pathway to virtue. "We are not talking about God here, nor even the grand scheme of society, we wonder about ourselves. By realizing when someone or something asks us to believe in it, in its intention, to create some reality out of an idea, we can begin to wonder about the value of following the rule." "If modernity is the cause of complexity and...

Human Universe
ISBN: 9780008125080 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Human life is a staggeringly strange thing. On the surface of a ball of rock falling around a nuclear fireball in the blackness of a vacuum the laws of nature conspired to create a naked ape that can look up at the stars and wonder where it came from. What is a human being? Objectively, nothing of consequence. Particles of dust in an infinite arena, present for an instant in eternity. Clumps of atoms in a universe with more galaxies than people. And yet a human being is necessary for the question itself to exist, and the presence of a question in the universe - any question - is the most...

Senses of Place: Senses of Time
ISBN: 9781138248458 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Bringing together case studies from Ireland, the Netherlands, Canada, Germany and Mexico, this book examines the link between senses of place and senses of time. It suggests that not only do place identities change through time, but imagined pasts also provide resources which the present selects and packages for its own contemporary purposes and for forwarding to imagined futures. The reasons behind the creation of place image are also explored, setting them within political and social contexts. In its three main sections - Heritage in the Creation of Senses of Place; Heritage and Conflicting...

Early Phenomenology: Metaphysics, Ethics, and the Philosophy of Religion
ISBN: 9781474276047 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Taking the term "phenomenologist" in a fairly broad sense, Early Phenomenology focuses on those early exponents of the intellectual discipline, such as Buber, Ortega and Scheler rather than those thinkers that would later eclipse them; indeed the volume precisely means to bring into question what it means to be a phenomenologist, a category that becomes increasingly more fluid the more we distance ourselves from the gravitational pull of philosophical giants Husserl and Heidegger. In focusing on early phenomenology this volume seeks to examine the movement before...

Love is the Drug: The Chemical Future of Our Relationships
ISBN: 9781526145413 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What if there were a pill for love? Or an anti-love drug, designed to help us break up? This controversial and timely new book argues that recent medical advances have brought chemical control of our romantic lives well within our grasp. Substances affecting love and relationships, whether prescribed by doctors or even illicitly administered, are not some far-off speculation - indeed our most intimate connections are already being influenced by pills we take for other purposes, such as antidepressants. Treatments involving certain psychoactive substances, including MDMA-the active...

The Capability Approach to Labour Law
ISBN: 9780198836087 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Forty years ago Amartya Sen introduced to the world a novel approach to the idea of equality: the notion of 'basic capability' as 'a morally relevant dimension' and the claim that we should focus upon equality of basic capabilities ('a person being able to do certain basic things'). These ideas, as developed by Sen and Martha C. Nussbaum, have launched an academic armada now proceeding under the flag of the 'capability approach' (CA). While that flag has ventured far and wide and engaged many areas of inquiry, this volume of essays is the first to explore how CA might shed light upon labour...

German Literature and the First World War: The Anti-War Tradition: Collected Essays by Brian Murdoch
ISBN: 9781472452894 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The period immediately following the end of the First World War witnessed an outpouring of artistic and literary creativity, as those that had lived through the war years sought to communicate their experiences and opinions. In Germany this manifested itself broadly into two camps, one condemning the war outright; the other condemning the defeat. Of the former, Erich Maria Remarque s All Quiet on the Western Front remains the archetypal example of an anti-war novel, and one that has become synonymous with the Great War. Yet the tremendous and enduring popularity of Remarque s work has to some...

Building a World Heritage City: Sanaa, Yemen
ISBN: 9781472435408 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The conservation of old Sanaa is a major cultural heritage initiative that began in the 1980's under the auspices of UNESCO; it continues today, led by local agencies and actors. In contrast to other parts of the world where conservation was introduced at a later date to remediate the effects of modernization, in Yemen the two processes have been more or less concurrent. This has resulted in a paradox: unlike many other countries in the Middle East that abandoned traditional construction practices long ago, in Yemen these practices have not died out. Builders and craftsmen still work in...
