Machiavelli, Leonardo, and the Science of Power
ISBN: 9780268014162 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 406 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In recent years, Niccolo Machiavelli's works have been viewed primarily with historical interest as analyses of the tactics used by immoral political officials. The author in this text, argues that Machiavelli should be reconsidered as a major philosopher whose thought makes the wisdom of antiquity accessible to the modern (and post-modern) condition, and whose understanding of human nature is superior to that of such moderns as Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Marx or Mill. Central to this claim is the author's discovery that Machiavelli knew and worked with Leonardo da Vinci between 1502-1507.

The Confessions and Correspondence, Including the Letters to Malesherbes
ISBN: 9780874518368 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 736 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When Rousseau first read his Confessions to a 1770 gathering in Paris, reactions varied from admiration of his candor to doubts about his sanity to outrage.
