Contesting Tears: The Hollywood Melodrama of the Unknown Woman
ISBN: 9780226098166 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What is marriage? Can a relationship dedicated to equality, friendship, and mutual education flower in an atmosphere of romance? What are the paths between loving another and knowing another?

These profound lectures are a wonderful place to make Cavell's] acquaintance."

ISBN: 9780674018181 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Since Socrates and his circle first tried to frame the Just City in words, discussion of a perfect communal life--a life of justice, reflection, and mutual respect--has had to come to terms with the distance between that idea and reality. Measuring this distance step by practical step is the philosophical project that Stanley Cavell has pursued on his exploratory path. Situated at the intersection of two of his longstanding interests--Emersonian philosophy and the Hollywood comedy of remarriage--Cavell's new work marks a significant advance in this project. The book--which presents a... Since Socrates and his circle first tried to frame the Just City in words, discussion of a perfect communal life--a life of justice, reflection, an... |
