ISBN: 9788024651941 / Czeski / Miękka / 2022 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. V době, kdy jsme konfrontováni s proměnlivým a nejistým světem, snižuje se důvěra ve společnosti, daří se konspiračním teoriím a z veřejné diskuse se znepokojivě vytrácí vzájemný respekt, roste význam porozumění etice a jejím základům. Simon Blackburn v knize představuje základní otázky a problémy současné etiky, ale zároveň nás nutí zamýšlet se nad světem kolem nás. Ukazuje nám, jak bychom mohli přemýšlet o smyslu života a proč bychom měli nedůvěřovat zjednodušujícím absolutismům, které často dominují morálním debatám.

Ruling Passions: A Theory of Practical Reasoning
ISBN: 9780199241392 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Simon Blackburn puts forward a compelling and original philosophy of human motivation and morality. Why do we behave as we do? Can we improve? Is our ethics at war with our passions, or is it an upshot of those passions? Blackburn seeks the answers to such questions in an exploration of the nature of moral emotions and the structures of human motivation. He develops a naturalistic ethics, which integrates our understanding of ethics with the rest of our understanding of the world we live in. His theory does not debunk the ethical by reducing it to the non-ethical, and it banishes the spectres...

Essays in Quasi-Realism
ISBN: 9780195082241 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume collects some influential essays in which Simon Blackburn, one of our leading philosophers, explores one of the most profound and fertile of philosophical problems: the way in which our judgments relate to the world. This debate has centered on realism, or the view that what we say is validated by the way things stand in the world, and a variety of oppositions to it. Prominent among the latter are expressive and projective theories, but also a relaxed pluralism that discourages the view that there are substantial issues at stake. The figure of the "quasi-realist" dramatizes the...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Ideas in Profile: Small Introductions to Big Topics Truth has always been a thorny topic. How does it work? Who decides what it is? And why is it seen as so important? In this lucid introduction to the topic, leading scholar Simon Blackburn describes the main approaches to the notion of truth and considers how these relate to different perspectives on belief, interpretation, facts, knowledge and action. He then looks at how these ideas can be applied to: - aesthetics, taste and the judgement of art;
- ethics and how people decide how they should (or should not) live; -... Ideas in Profile: Small Introductions to Big Topics Truth has always been a thorny topic. How does it work? Who decides what it is? And why...

ISBN: 9780691161426 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Everyone deplores narcissism, especially in others. The vain are by turns annoying or absurd, offending us whether they are blissfully oblivious or proudly aware of their behavior. But are narcissism and vanity really as bad as they seem?

In Mirror, Mirror, Simon Blackburn, the author of such best-selling philosophy books as Think, Being Good, and Lust, says that narcissism, vanity, pride, and self-esteem are more complex than they first appear and have innumerable good and bad forms.

He offers engaging and illuminating discussions of various problems which arise when such familiar notions as representation, truth, reason, and assertion are applied in the sphere of practical thought. It is puzzling how our thinking gets to grip with such things as values and norms. Blackburn explores how we can try to understand what we say in terms of what we are doing when we say it. He investigates how propositions interact with linguistic expressions whose primary function is identified in terms of...

Reason and Prediction
ISBN: 9780521108225 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. An original study of the philosophical problems associated with inductive reasoning. Like most of the main questions in epistemology, the classical problem of induction arises from doubts about a mode of inference used to justify some of our most familiar and pervasive beliefs. The experience of each individual is limited and fragmentary, yet the scope of our beliefs is much wider; and it is the relation between belief and experience, in particular the belief that the future will in some respects resemble the past and the unobserved the observed, which forms the subject of this book. Dr...
