Epimethean Imaginings : Philosophical and Other Meditations on Everyday Light
ISBN: 9781844658251 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. These essays, written in the spirit of Goethe's Epimetheus who traces the quick deed to the dim realm of form-combining possibilities, display the depth and breadth of Tallis's fascination with our lives. Whether discussing philosophical hardy perennials like time, or a mundane artefact like ink, Tallis challenges us to think differently about who we are and why we are. The first part of the book - Analysis - dives into the deep-end to explore some of the big questions in philosophy: perception, knowledge and belief; truth and falsehood; time; the relationship between mathematics and reality;...

Aping Mankind
ISBN: 9781138640320 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 406 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Neuroscience has made astounding progress in the understanding of the brain. What should we make of its claims to go beyond the brain and explain consciousness, behaviour and culture? Where should we draw the line? In this brilliant critique Raymond Tallis dismantles "Neuromania," arising out of the idea that we are reducible to our brains and "Darwinitis" according to which, since the brain is an evolved organ, we are entirely explicable within an evolutionary framework. With precision and acuity he argues that the belief that human beings can be understood in biological terms is a... Neuroscience has made astounding progress in the understanding of the brain.

Death and Desire in Hegel, Heidegger and Deleuze
ISBN: 9780748627967 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Despite what its title might suggest, Death and Desire is a meditation on life. Using the texts of Hegel, Heidegger, and Deleuze, the author argues that philosophy has been dominated by a form of thought that focuses exclusively on death. The importance of Death and Desire lies in its refusal of the morbidity of much contemporary philosophy. Its uniqueness lies in placing Hegel, Heidegger, and Deleuze in conversation. Its usefulness lies in the clarity with which it articulates and compares these very diverse thinkers.

War and Nation in the Theatre of Shakespeare and His Contemporaries
ISBN: 9780748627653 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This original study explores a vital aspect of early modern cultural history: the way that warfare is represented in the theatre of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. The book contrasts the Tudor and Stuart prose that called for the establishment of a standing army in the name of nation, discipline and subjectivity, and the drama of the period that invited critique of this imperative. Barker examines contemporary dramatic texts both for their radical position on war and, in the case of the later drama, for their subversive commentary on an emerging idealisation of Shakespeare and his...

The Blind and Blindness in Literature of the Romantic Period

In the first full-length literary-historical study of its subject, Edward Larrissy examines the philosophical and literary background to representations of blindness and the blind in the Romantic period. In detailed studies of literary works he goes on to show how the topic is central to an understanding of British and Irish Romantic literature.
While he considers the influence of Milton and the 'Ossian' poems, as well as of philosophers, including Locke, Diderot, Berkeley and Thomas Reid, much of the book is taken up with new readings of writers of the period. These include canonical... In the first full-length literary-historical study of its subject, Edward Larrissy examines the philosophical and literary background to representatio...
