Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) At the beginning of 1945, relations between America and the Chinese Communists couldn t have been closer.

Freud and the Legacy of Moses

Bernstein presents a detailed examination of Freud's last book, Moses and Monotheism. Bernstein argues convincingly that this frequently vilified and dismissed book is one of Freud's most important works. It is in Moses and Monotheism that Freud answers the question that obsessed him: what is the essence of the Jewish people?

The New Constellation : The Ethical-Political Horizons of Modernity / Postmodernity
ISBN: 9780745609201 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this major new work, Bernstein explores the ethical and political dimensions of the modernity/post-modernity debate.
Bernstein argues that modernity / post-modernity should be understood as a kind of mood - one which is amorphous, shifting and protean but which exerts a powerful influence on our current thinking. Focusing on thinkers such as Heidegger, Derrida, Foucault, Habermas and Rorty, Bernstein probes the strengths and weaknesses of their work, and shows how they have contributed to the formation of a new mood, a new and distinctive constellation of ideas. ...

Proč dnes číst Hannah Arendtovou?
ISBN: 9788087054710 / Czeski / Miękka / 2022 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Richard J. Bernstein je přední americký filosof, který propojuje americkou filosofickou tradici (pragmatismus a analytickou filosofii) s kontinentální (Kritickou teorií). Zároveň se osobně znal s Hannah Arendtovou a vedli spolu přátelské, ale zároveň i kritické diskuse. Jedná se proto o autora, který má všechny předpoklady pro napsání výborné knihy o Arendtové - a to se mu plně povedlo. Jak uvedl jeden recenzent, Bernsteinovu knihu ocení jak ti, kdo se teprve chystají na četbu samotné Arendtové, tak ale i ti, kdo už od ní všechno přečetli.

Violence: Thinking Without Banisters
ISBN: 9780745670645 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. We live in a time when we are overwhelmed with talk and images of violence. Whether on television, the internet, films or the video screen, we can't escape representations of actual or fictional violence - another murder, another killing spree in a high school or movie theatre, another action movie filled with images of violence. Our age could well be called "The Age of Violence" because representations of real or imagined violence, sometimes fused together, are pervasive. But what do we mean by violence? What can violence achieve? Are there limits to violence and, if so, what are they? We live in a time when we are overwhelmed with talk and images of violence.

Ironic Life
ISBN: 9781509505739 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. -Just as philosophy begins with doubt, so also a life that may be called human begins with irony- so wrote Kierkegaard. While we commonly think of irony as a figure of speech where someone says one thing and means the opposite, the concept of irony has long played a more fundamental role in the tradition of philosophy, a role that goes back to Socrates the originator and exemplar of the urbane ironic life. But what precisely is Socratic irony and what relevance, if any, does it have for us today?
Bernstein begins his inquiry with a critical examination of the work of two... -Just as philosophy begins with doubt, so also a life that may be called human begins with irony- so wrote Kierkegaard. While we commonly think of iro...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Even as we marvel at the grandeur of our constitutional system, we can't resist tinkering with it.

Pragmatic Turn
ISBN: 9780745649085 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this major new work, Richard J. Bernstein argues that many of the most important themes in philosophy during the past one hundred and fifty years are variations and developments of ideas that were prominent in the classical American pragmatists: Charles S. Peirce, William James, John Dewey and George H Mead. Pragmatism begins with a thoroughgoing critique of the Cartesianism that dominated so much of modern philosophy. The pragmatic thinkers reject a sharp dichotomy between subject and object, mind-body dualism, the quest for certainty and the spectator theory of knowledge. They seek to...
