Finding Freedom: Hegel's Philosophy and the Emancipation of Women
ISBN: 9780773533752 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. G.W.F. Hegel is often vilified for his conservative reactionary philosophy, particularly with respect to the rights of women. Alternatively, tracing a path through G.W.F Hegel's political thought, MacDonald demonstrates that, in fact, the logic of Hegel's argument necessitates the recognition of equal political and civil rights for all human beings. Combining a thoughtful study of Hegel's political thought with close readings of two pivotal works of literature, MacDonald's book shows how the perennial tension between fulfilled, yet diverse, personal lives and stable political communities has...

University Women: A History of Women and Higher Education in Canada
ISBN: 9780228008637 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Bessie Scott, nearing the end of her first year at university in the spring of 1890, recorded in her diary: “Wore my gown for first time! It didn’t seem at all strange to do so.” Often deemed a cumbersome tradition by men, the cap and gown were dearly prized by women as an outward sign of their hard-won admission to the rank of undergraduates. For the first generations of university women, higher education was an exhilarating and transformative experience, but these opportunities would narrow in the decades that followed. In University Women Sara MacDonald explores the processes of...

Recovering Hegel from the Critique of Leo Strauss: The Virtues of Modernity
ISBN: 9780739183977 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Recovering Hegel from the Critique of Leo Srauss offers a defense of modernity against the critique of the influential mid-twentieth century political philosopher, Leo Strauss. Strauss, whose influence on contemporary conservative political theory is well documented, discovered the ground of much of what he found wanting in contemporary political and social life to lie in the philosophy of the 19th century German philosopher, G. W. F. Hegel. Specifically, Strauss accused Hegel of being the greatest exponent of historicism and thus the relativism that afflicts modern thought. Ultimately,...

Recollecting Dante's Divine Comedy in the Novels of Mark Helprin: The Love That Moves the Sun and the Other Stars
ISBN: 9780739181966 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book studies several of Mark Helprin's novels in terms of their relation to Dante's Divine Comedy. The authors demonstrate that A Soldier of the Great War, In Sunlight and in Shadow, and Winter's Tale substantially correspond to, respectively, Dante's Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The author himself has acknowledged his debt to Dante and references to the Comedy appear throughout his works. It is not that Helprin's novels track their Dantean antecedents slavishly, or even follow the structure of the Canticles explicitly. Rather, the central arguments of Dante's three works are taken...

Fate and Freedom in the Novels of David Adams Richards
ISBN: 9781498528702 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book explores the understanding of freedom developed in the later novels of celebrated Canadian author, David Adams Richards. Many reviewers highlight two interconnected features in Richards novels: a seemingly rigid determinism of setting and sociodemographics, and a resulting hopelessness. In contrast, Richards describes the quest of human life and the purpose of his novels as a search for freedom. This book explores the account of freedom that is developed through the course of four of Richards's works: The Friends of Meager Fortune, Mercy Among the Children, The Lost Highway, and...
