Mining, Metallurgy and the Meaning of Life
ISBN: 9781597310857 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Of all the crafts and professions other than the priesthood, none has been more closely connected with the religious taditions of Western peoples than mining and metallurgy. Not so long ago our ancestors would have found it incredible that people could not see the connections between mining, metallurgy, and the sacred, just as we now find it incredible that they could. What was a commonplace to the European mind for millennia has for us become a matter of the deepest obscurity.
This is a matter of more than historical interest. It goes to the heart of how we think about work, about... Of all the crafts and professions other than the priesthood, none has been more closely connected with the religious taditions of Western peoples than...

Science and Religion in Archaic Greece: Homer on Immortality and Parmenides at Delphi
ISBN: 9781597310871 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. How far has the Western intellect come since Homer and the earliest Greek philosophers? Nearly three millennia have passed and in our own eyes we have made enormous progress since those times, especially in the last five centuries. But this, of course, depends on our peculiar way of reading Homer and the first philosophers. We take it for granted that their knowledge of natural science was rudimentary, that it hardly qualified as science. But this book argues that Homer and Parmenides were accomplished astronomers, geographers, physiologists and psychologists. The book bases its argument on...

A Contrary History of the West, and Other Essays
ISBN: 9781597311304 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What was the purpose of the ancient Greek Olympics? No one really knows. But the first essay in this book examines one early Greek games whose purpose we do know. And that was to cleanse the site of a massacre from a deadly pollution. These games were a periodic ritual to appease the furious dead. And they worked. The second essay looks again at what is due to Caesar. Jesus makes no compromise with the Romans. If the penny was Caesar's, Caesar was Jehovah's. The title essay frames the last thousand years of Western history as a series of political constitutions. We travel backwards in time...

Mathematical Plato
ISBN: 9781597311380 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Plato is the first scientist whose work we still possess. He is our first writer to interpret the natural world mathematically, and also the first theorist of mathematics in the natural sciences. As no one else before or after, he set out why we should suppose a link between nature and mathematics, a link that has never been stronger than it is today. Mathematical Plato examines how Plato organized and justified the principles, terms, and methods of our mathematical, natural science.
"Roger Sworder deserves our gratitude for drawing attention to the significance of mathematics in Plato's... Plato is the first scientist whose work we still possess. He is our first writer to interpret the natural world mathematically, and also the first the...

The Romantic Attack on Modern Science in England and America & Other Essays
ISBN: 9781621381471 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. There are no sacred cows for modern scientists. Ironically, modern science has itself become a sacred cow, of which we hear very little criticism. But modern science has long been denounced by some of the wisest among us: our poets. The long essay in this book considers six of the very greatest poets of the English language since the Scientific Revolution. None of them considered as science what we now call science. Nor did they regard as philosophy what we call philosophy. This essay closely examines just how deep is this chasm at the core of our culture and our values--and it does so...

Christian and Oriental Philosophy of Art
ISBN: 9781621389842 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The contentment of innumerable people can be destroyed in a generation by the withering touch of our civilization; the local market is flooded by a production in quantity with which the responsible maker of art cannot complete; the vocational structure of society, with all its guild organization and standards of workmanship, is undermined; the artist is robbed of his art and forced to find himself a job; until finally the ancient society is industrialised and reduced to the level of such societies as ours in which business takes precedence of life. Can one wonder that Western nations are...
