Prejudices: A Philosophical Dictionary a Philosophical Dictionary
ISBN: 9780674700666 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A great moralist and social thinker illuminates the most vexing issues of our time--war, old age, racism, abortion, boredom, crime and punishment, sociobiology, and seventy odd others--in a dazzling book that is by turns hilarious and somber but always vigorous and stimulating. Upon each subject Robert Nisbet offers piercing and often unexpected insights. Joining the colorful company of Montaigne, Voltaire, Burke, and Mencken, Nisbet writes for his own age and with his own prejudices. He ranges from the historical to the contemporary, from great men to lesser ones, from pieties and...

History of the Idea of Progress
ISBN: 9781138525160 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The idea of progress from the Enlightenment to postmodernism is still very much with us. In intellectual discourse, journals, popular magazines, and radio and talk shows, the debate between those who are "progressivists" and those who are "declinists" is as spirited as it was in the late seventeenth century. In History of the Idea of Progress, Robert Nisbet traces the idea of progress from its origins in Greek, Roman, and medieval civilizations to modern times. It is a masterful frame of reference for understanding the present world. Nisbet asserts there are two fundamental building blocks...

Teachers and Scholars: A Memoir of Berkeley in Depression and War
ISBN: 9781412851770 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The University of California at Berkeley is today best known as a great research center and popularly remembered as a locus of campus unrest in the 1960s. This memoir by the eminent sociologist and historian of ideas Robert Nisbet views Berkeley from a different perspective. Teachers and Scholars is a fascinating picture of Berkeley as it was a half a century ago in its move to become the most important center of learning west of the Mississippi. Nisbet recounts his years there as student and teacher, and offers vivid portraits of Berkeley's professors and personalities. Between the Great...

Twilight of Authority
ISBN: 9780865972124 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This text was first published in 1975, shortly after the resignation of President Richard Nixon, which revealed, according to Robert Nisbet, the extreme and corrupt manifestation of a democratic royalism that has its roots in several preceding administrations. Nisbet argues that the political community in the West had broken down after two centuries of ascendancy. He believes that the West has entered a twilight age that will be characterized by political and cultural crises similar to those that preceded the fall of Rome. He foresees the displacement of traditional, liberal society by...

Conservatism: Dream and Reality
ISBN: 9780765808622 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The essential concerns of conservatism are the same as those that motivated Nisbet's first and most influential book, The Quest for Community. In fact, Conservatism unites virtually all of Nisbet's work. In it, Nisbet deals with the political causes of the manifold forms of alienation that underwrite the human quest for community. The sovereign political state is more than a legal relationship of a superstructure of power, it is inseparable from its successive penetrations of man's economic, religious, kinship and local allegiances, and its revolutionary dislocations of...

Sociology as an Art Form
ISBN: 9781138533219 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 145 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "One of our most original social thinkers," according to the New York Times, Robert Nisbet offers a new approach to sociology. He shows that sociology is indeed an art form, one that has a strong kinship with literature, painting, Romantic history, and philosophy in the nineteenth century, the age in which sociology came into full stature. Sociology as an Art Form is an introduction for the initiated and the uninitiated in so-ciology. Nisbet explains the degree to which sociology draws from the same creative impulses, themes and styles (rooted in history), and actual modes...

ISBN: 9781412808781 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The primary purpose of Metaphor and History is to explain the sources and contexts of the Western idea of social development. Nisbet explores the concept of social change across the whole range of Western culture, from ancient Greece to the present day. He does not see the idea of social development as a nineteenth-century phenomenon or a by-product of the idea of biological evolution.

The Degradation of the Academic Dogma
ISBN: 9781138535077 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is one of the most important books ever published about the American university. Robert Nisbet accuses universities of having betrayed themselves. Over the centuries they earned the respect of society by attempting to remain faithful to what he terms "the academic dogma," the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake. The measure of a university's greatness and of the stature of an individual scholar was determined not by the immediate usefulness of the work done, but by how much it contributed to scholarship, learning, and teaching. American universities abandoned this ideal,... This is one of the most important books ever published about the American university. Robert Nisbet accuses universities of having betrayed themsel... |

Tradition and Revolt
ISBN: 9780765804860 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This classic volume deals with a crucial contemporary social issue: the conflict between traditionalism and modernism. Nisbet considers such subjects as power, community, culture, and the university. He deals directly with the values of authority, tradition, hierarchy, and community on the one hand, and individualism, secularism, and revolt on the other. Nisbet's underlying argument is that there is a close historical relationship between the distribution of power in democratic society and the displacement of social class, kinship, neighborhood, and the church. The book challenges concerned...

The Sociological Tradition
ISBN: 9781560006671 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When first published, The Sociological Tradition had a profound and positive impact on sociology, providing a rich sense of intellectual background to a relatively new discipline in America. Robert Nisbet describes what he considers the golden age of sociology, 1830-1900, outlining five major themes of nineteenth-century sociologists: community, authority, status, the sacred, and alienation. Nisbet focuses on sociology's European heritage, delineating the arguments of Tocqueville, Marx, Durkheim, and Weber in new and revealing ways. When the book initially appeared, the...
