The Face of God: The Gifford Lectures
ISBN: 9781472912732 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Roger Scruton explores the place of God in a disenchanted world. His argument is a response to the atheist culture that is now growing around us, and also a defence of human uniqueness. He rebuts the claim that there is no meaning or purpose in the natural world, and argues that the sacred and the transcendental are 'real presences', through which human beings come to know themselves and to find both their freedom and their redemption. In the human face we find a paradigm of meaning. And from this experience, Scruton argues, we both construct the face of the world, and address the...

The Uses of Pessimism: And the Danger of False Hope
ISBN: 9780199968978 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Optimism is fundamental to the human spirit and has sparked innovation across the centuries, but does it have a dark side?

Spanning from ancient Greece to the current economic crisis, the...

A Political Philosophy: Arguments for Conservatism
ISBN: 9781472965226 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Over the past twenty years, Roger Scruton has been developing a conservative view of human beings, society and culture. The tone of this book is positive and the arguments are recommendations with the aim of convincing the reader that rumours of the death of Western civilisation are greatly exaggerated.

This is a perspective which Scruton attacks vehemently especially in its modern proponents- Desmond Morris and Richard...

By thinking with wine, you can learn not only to drink in thoughts but to think in draughts. This good-humoured book offers an antidote to the pretentious clap-trap that is written about wine today and a profound apology for...
