Prodicus the Sophist: Text, Translation, and Commentary
ISBN: 9780199607877 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The past fifty years have witnessed the flourishing of scholarship in virtually every area of ancient Greek philosophy, but the sophists have for the most part been neglected. This is certainly true of Prodicus of Ceos: of the four most well-known sophists--Protagoras, Gorgias, Prodicus, and Antiphon--he has received the least attention. Robert Mayhew provides a reassessment of his life and thought, and especially his views on language, religion, and ethics. This volume consists of ninety texts with facing translations--far more than have appeared in any previous edition--and provides the...

Ayn Rand and Song of Russia: Communism and Anti-Communism in 1940s Hollywood
ISBN: 9780810852761 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 213 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In October 1947, more than twenty years after leaving Russia, Ayn Rand testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), which was investigating communist infiltration of the motion picture industry. The focus of that testimony was Song of Russia, a 1944 pro-Soviet film that Rand decried for its unrealistic, absurdly flattering portrait of life in the communist country. Ayn Rand scholar Robert Mayhew focuses on this controversial period of American and Hollywood history by examining both the film and the furor surrounding Rand's HUAC testimony. His analysis provides the...

Malthus: The Life and Legacies of an Untimely Prophet
ISBN: 9780674728714 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Thomas Robert Malthus's An Essay on the Principle of Population was an immediate succes de scandale when it appeared in 1798. Arguing that nature is niggardly and that societies, both human and animal, tend to overstep the limits of natural resources in "perpetual oscillation between happiness and misery," he found himself attacked on all sides--by Romantic poets, utopian thinkers, and the religious establishment. Though Malthus has never disappeared, he has been perpetually misunderstood. This book is at once a major reassessment of Malthus's ideas and an intellectual...

Plato: Laws 10: Translated with an Introduction and Commentary
ISBN: 9780199694723 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Laws is Plato's last and longest dialogue. Although it has been neglected (compared to such works as the Republic and Symposium), it is beginning to receive a great deal of scholarly attention. Book 10 of the Laws contains Plato's fullest defence of the existence of the gods, and his last word on their nature, as well as a presentation and defence of laws against impiety (e.g. atheism). Plato's primary aim is to defend the idea that the gods exist and that they are good - this latter meaning that they do not neglect human beings and cannot be swayed by prayers and sacrifices to overlook...

Essays on Ayn Rand's We the Living, 2nd Edition
ISBN: 9780739149706 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 438 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ayn Rand remains a truly significant figure of modern philosophy. Her unique vision of a world in which man, relying on reason, acts wholly for his own good is skillfully developed and illustrated in her most famous novels, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. But Rand's first novel, We the Living, a lesser-known but no less important book, offers an early form of the author's nascent philosophy--the philosophy Rand later called Objectivism. In the second edition, Robert Mayhew once again brings together pre-eminent scholars of Rand's writing. The edition includes three new chapters, as well...

Aristotle's Criticism of Plato's Republic
ISBN: 9780847686551 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The first five chapters of the second book of Aristotle's Politics contain a series of criticisms levelled against Plato's Republic. Despite the abundance of studies that have been done on Aristotle's Politics, these chapters have for the most part been neglected; there has been no book-length study of them this century. In this important new book, Robert Mayhew fills this unfortunate gap in Aristotelian scholarship, analyzing these chapters in order to discover what they tell us about Aristotle's political philosophy. Mayhew demonstrates that in Politics II 1-5, Aristotle is presenting his...

Aristotle's Lost Homeric Problems: Textual Studies
ISBN: 9780198834564 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume takes as its focus an oft-neglected work of ancient philosophy: Aristotle's lost Homeric Problems. The evidence for this lost work consists mostly of 'fragments' surviving in the Homeric scholia - comments in the margins of the medieval manuscripts of the Homeric epics, mostly coming from lost commentaries on these epics - though the series of studies presented here puts forward a persuasive case that other sources have been overlooked. These studies focus on various aspects of the Homeric Problems and are grouped into three parts. The first deals with preliminary issues: the...
