Kyoka, Japan's Comic Verse: A Mad in Translation Reader
ISBN: 9780984092307 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Even readers with no particular interest in Japan - if such odd souls exist - may expect unexpected pleasure from this book if English metaphysical poetry, grooks, hyperlogical nonsense verse, outrageous epigrams, the (im)possibilities and process of translation between exotic tongues, the reason of puns and rhyme, outlandish metaphor, extreme hyperbole and whatnot tickle their fancy. Read together with The Woman Without a Hole, also by Robin D. Gill, the hitherto overlooked ulterior side of art poetry in Japan may now be thoroughly explored by monolinguals, though bilinguals and students of...

At 460 pages, this is the short version of Topsy-turvy 1585, a critical yet entertaining essay of the 611 ways Europeans and Japanese were considered contrary to one another, according to Luis Frois S.J.

The Fifth Season -- Poems to Re-Create the World
ISBN: 9780974261898 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 468 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this book, the first of a series, Robin D. Gill, author of the highly acclaimed Rise, Ye Sea Slugs and Cherry Blossom Epiphany, the largest single-theme anthologies of poetry ever published, explores the traditional Japanese New Year through 2,000 translated haiku (mostly 17-20c). "The New Year," R.H. Blyth once wrote, "is a season by itself." That was nowhere so plain as in the world of haiku, where saijiki, large collections called of ku illustrating hundreds, if not thousands of briefly explained seasonal themes, generally comprised five volumes, one for each season. Yet, the great...

Churchgoing and Christian Ethics
ISBN: 9780521570589 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Robin Gill argues that moral communities should take center stage in ethics. This book examines recent evidence about church communities in relation to faith, moral order and love, and shows that churchgoers are distinctive in their attitudes, beliefs and behavior. Some attitudes change over time, and there are several moral disagreements among different groups of churchgoers. Moreover, their values and behavior are shared by many nonchurchgoers also. The distinctiveness of church communities in the modern world is thus real but relative, and is crucial for the task of Christian ethics.

Responsibility and Christian Ethics
ISBN: 9780521657099 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The purpose of this book is to formulate a way of thinking about issues of power, moral identity, and ethical norms by developing a theory of responsibility from a specifically theological viewpoint; the author thereby makes clear the significance for Christian commitment of current reflection on moral responsibility. The concept of responsibility is relatively new in ethics, but the drastic extension of human power through various technological developments has lately thrown into question the way human beings conceive of themselves as morally accountable agents. It is this radical extension...

Priorities and Christian Ethics
ISBN: 9780521623513 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Christians have agreed, as have others, that preference should go to some extent to one's nearest, and also to some extent to the neediest. However, to what extent should we give preference to which group? And suppose these two preferences come into conflict, as they frequently do? This book provides the fullest contemporary treatment of these issues. The author brings to bear all the resources of theological and philosophical reflection on a single representative case, and from the single example, sheds light on a wide range of comparable cases, both private and public.

Moral Action and Christian Ethics
ISBN: 9780521657105 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. How do we decide whether an action is right or wrong? Recently, moral philosophers have moved away from the claim that we can find one definite solution to every moral problem by means of clearly established moral rules. While sympathetic to their critiques of modern moral theories, Porter questions whether these critiques go far enough in offering a positive alternative to a modern view of the moral act. Instead, she returns to Aquinas, and seeks to reclaim his understanding of the moral act as a product of interdependent moral virtues.

Plurality and Christian Ethics
ISBN: 9780521453288 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first substantial study in Christian Ethics to explore the problem of religion, plurality, and ethics. Why, asks the author, do different religions find it so hard to coexist together? In answering this question, the book ranges widely: culture, ethical method, the Christendom Group of T.S. Eliot, immigration, Rushdie and Islam, Bellah and "civil religion," Neuhaus and "public philosophy," MacIntyre and Milbank, the nature of truth and morality, and the political implications of postmodernism are all discussed.

The Market Economy and Christian Ethics
ISBN: 9780521470483 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Peter Sedgwick explores the relation of a theology of justice to that of human identity in the context of the market economy, and engages with critics of capitalism and the market. He examines three aspects of the market economy: first, how does it shape personal identity, through consumption and the experience of paid employment in relation to the work ethic? Second, what impact does the global economy have on local cultures? Finally, as manufacturing changes out of all recognition through the impact of technology and global competition, what is the effect in terms of poverty? Drawing on the...

Alcohol, Addiction and Christian Ethics
ISBN: 9780521851824 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Addictive disorders are characterised by a division of the will, in which the addict is attracted both by a desire to continue the addictive behaviour and also by a desire to stop it. Academic perspectives on this predicament usually come from clinical and scientific standpoints, with the 'moral model' rejected as outmoded. But Christian theology has a long history of thinking and writing on such problems and offers insights which are helpful to scientific and ethical reflection upon the nature of addiction. Chris Cook reviews Christian theological and ethical reflection upon the problems of...
