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.

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. ...

Bernstein presents a detailed examination of Freud's last book, Moses and Monotheism.

It is in Moses and Monotheism that Freud answers the question that obsessed him: what is the essence of the Jewish people?

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.

ISBN: 9780745629544 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. At present, there is an enormous gulf between the visibility of evil and the paucity of our intellectual resources for coming to grips with it. We have been flooded with images of death camps, terrorist attacks and horrendous human suffering. Yet when we ask what we mean by radical evil and how we are to account for it, we seem to be at a loss for proper responses.
Bernstein seeks to discover what we can learn about the meaning of evil and human responsibility. He turns to philosophers such as Kant, who coined the expression 'radical evil', as well as to Hegel and...

Since 9/11 politicians, preachers, conservatives and the media are all speaking about evil. In the past the dicourse about evil in our religious, philosophic and literary traditions has provoked thinking, questioning and inquiry. But today the appeal to evil is being used as a political tool to obscure compex issues, block serious thinking and stifle public discussion and debate.

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. Whether on television, the internet, films or the video screen, we can't e...

Ironic Life

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?
