Knowledge and Politics in Plato's Theaetetus
ISBN: 9781107407923 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Theaetetus is one of the most widely studied of any of the Platonic dialogues because its dominant theme concerns the significant philosophical question, what is knowledge? In this new interpretation of the Theaetetus, Paul Stern provides the first full-length treatment of its political character in relationship to this dominant theme. Stern argues that this approach sheds significant light on the distinctiveness of the Socratic way of life, with respect to both its initial justification and its ultimate character.

William Shakespeare: A Brief Life
ISBN: 9781350156746 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This engaging and fresh biography begins by examining how Shakespeare’s life turns into myth so comfortably as to seduce even the most sceptical scholar. The early departure, the late return. Public success, private loss. A twilight of plays about family reunions, a death at home in the biggest house in town, the one he walked by as a schoolboy and eyed with envy, or at least ambition. Shakespeare led an orbital life, everything returned to where it began. He even had the dramatic good sense to die on his birthday. One of the appealing dynamics of the Shakespeare myth is the contrast...
