Power: Oppression, Subservience, and Resistance
ISBN: 9781438459554 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Frequently understood in simplistic and often highly negative terms, the concept of power has proven to be both uncommonly intriguing and maddeningly elusive. In Power, Raymond Angelo Belliotti begins by fashioning a general definition of power that is refined enough to capture the numerous types of power in all their multifaceted complexity. He then proceeds in a series of discrete yet thematically connected meditations to explore the meaning of power in ancient, modern, and contemporary thought. In grappling with the critical questions surrounding the accumulation, distribution, and...

ISBN: 9780700607303 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When Raymond Belliotti was twelve, he stole from a local merchant. After making restitution and apologies, he was faced with his mother's Italian-American pride and wrath--he had besmirched the family name, reinforced stereotypical criminal images of Italian-Americans, and repaid the sacrifices of his parents and grandparents with disgrace. The message was clear--his self-indulgent greed had taken down an entire family network. But later that night his mother symbolically welcomed him back into the fold by baking his favorite cookies. The family survived and he never stole again. In...

Shakespeare and Philosophy : Lust, Love, and Law
ISBN: 9789042035973 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780742533615 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Happiness Is Overrated begins with an historical overview of the development of the concept of 'happiness' from Plato to contemporary writers, highlighting the best scholarship emerging from philosophy, psychology, and sociology. Belliotti includes practical advice on how to attain happiness and addresses issues centered on the meaning of life. Happiness, he argues, is not the greatest personal good, or even a great good in itself. In fact, sometimes happiness isn't a good at all. If we pursue worthwhile, exemplary lives and find happiness along the way, then we are lucky. If we don't, then...

Jesus the Radical: The Parables and Modern Morality
ISBN: 9780739187654 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

In this manner, Raymond Angelo Belliotti highlights just how radical was the historical Jesus' moral message and how enormous a challenge he raised to the conventional wisdom of his time. More important, this book demonstrates how deeply opposed is Jesus' moral message to the dominant moral understandings of our time. Although our conventional morality is generally profoundly...
