The Shape of the Turtle
ISBN: 9780791404607 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Many Chinese philosophic concepts derive from an ancient cosmology. This work is the first reconstructions of the mythic thought of the Shang Dynasty (ca. 1700- 1100 B.C.) which laid the foundation for later Chinese patterns of thought. Allan regards the myth, cosmology, divination, sacrificial ritual, and art of the Shang as different manifestations of a common religious system and each is examined in turn, building up a coherent and consistent picture. Although primarily concerned with the Shang, this work also describes the manner in which Shang thought was transformed in the later textual...

The Way of Water and Sprouts of Virtue
ISBN: 9780791433867 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book maintains that early Chinese philosophers, whatever their philosophical school, assumed common principles informed the natural and human worlds and that one could understand the nature of man by studying the principles which govern nature. Accordingly, the natural world rather than a religious tradition provided the root metaphors of early Chinese thought. Sarah Allan examines the concrete imagery, most importantly water and plant life, which served as a model for the most fundamental concepts in Chinese philosophy including such ideas as dao, the "way," de, "virtue" or "potency,"...

The Heir and the Sage, Revised and Expanded Edition: Dynastic Legend in Early China
ISBN: 9781438462240 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the accounts of change of rule in Chinese texts from 600 to 100 BC, including the core philosophical works of the Chinese tradition attributed to Confucius, Mozi, Mencius, Xunzi, Hanfeizi, and Zhuangzi. Drawing from the early structuralism of Claude Levi-Strauss, Sarah Allan demonstrates that similar motifs repeat in every period, and argues that they serve, like myth, to mediate the inherent social conflict between kinship relations and that of the larger community. This conflict is embodied in the idea of a dynastic cycle, founded by a virtuous...

Buried Ideas: Legends of Abdication and Ideal Government in Early Chinese Bamboo-Slip Manuscripts
ISBN: 9781438457789 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The discovery of previously unknown philosophical texts from the Axial Age is revolutionizing our understanding of Chinese intellectual history. Buried Ideas presents and discusses four texts found on brush-written slips of bamboo and their seemingly unprecedented political philosophy. Written in the regional script of Chu during the Warring States period (475-221 BCE), all of the works discuss Yao's abdication to Shun and are related to but differ significantly from the core texts of the classical period, such as the Mencius and Zhuangzi. Notably, these works evince an...

Selected Works of Edgar Allan Poe: Bilingual Edition: English-French
ISBN: 9780984679836 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Born in Boston in 1809, Edgar Allan Poe struggled for most of his life to earn his living entirely through his writings. His most famous poem, "The Raven," earned him only $9 when it was published in 1845. His wife, Virginia, died two years after its publication, which seems to have sent Poe into a downward spiral of alcohol abuse and erratic behavior. Poe himself died only two years after Virginia, in 1849, at the age of 40.
This bilingual edition of some of the most famous of Poe's short stories is designed to assist those learning French. The original English text appears on the...
