The Two Sovereigns: Social Contradictions of European Modernity
ISBN: 9780415061919 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines modernity through the prism of the two sovereigns - of the individual and collectivity. The book attempts to provide a stimulating meditation on the difficult and contradictory experiences of European modernity.

The Inhuman Condition
ISBN: 9780415107310 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Keith Tester explores in this text whether we are capable of coming to terms with the world we have made. He argues that we are not. We are so confused by the wonders and the sights and sounds around us that we all try to build safe little homes in which we can, for a while, be consoled by love which is doomed to fail as soon as it is thought about and by commodities which leave us unsatisfied. We all try to make sense of our humanity by turning elsewhere: to inhuman things. All of us, that is, with enough money. This text offers an interpretation of contemporary cultural and social...

During their troupe's 160th stage production of The Great Irish Famine, the exhausted Ghost Actors of a long dead Irish tenant village find little inspiration in playing their too familiar characters in an inescapable tragedy.

Civil Society (Rle Social Theory)
ISBN: 9781138782273 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This major study discusses some of the meanings and preconditions of freedom, responsibility and social order. The author argues that these are problems of modernity. The imagination of civil society created a milieu which was at once the location and defence of social self-sufficiency in the world. The book identifies the origins of civil society in the work of Locke, Hobbes, Rousseau and the often forgotten philosophers of the Scottish Enlightnement. It shows how the assumptions of civil society, and the state of nature, fed into the sociological and philosophical discourses which...
