Distinguo: Reading Montaigne Differently
ISBN: 9780198151807 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Most modern critics (even those who have emphasized the "evolution" of Montaigne's ideas) have sought to explain away the contradictions and incoherences of Montaigne's Essais. Rendall investigates the role of these internal differences in the opinions recorded, in voices and modes of discourse, in logical levels, in conceptions of writing and of reading, through a series of careful, lucid readings of selected passages of Essais. The author tracks their operation in the text and shows how Montaigne's writing constantly recontextualizes his own discourse--through his practice of interpolating...

The Promise of Salvation: A Theory of Religion
ISBN: 9780226713915 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Why has religion persisted across the course of human history? Secularists have predicted the end of faith for a long time, but religions continue to attract followers. Meanwhile, scholars of religion have expanded their field to such an extent that we lack a basic framework for making sense of the chaos of religious phenomena. To remedy this state of affairs, Martin Riesebrodt here undertakes a task that is at once simple and monumental: to define, understand, and explain religion as a universal concept. Instead of propounding abstract theories, Riesebrodt concentrates on the... Why has religion persisted across the course of human history?

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) It is well and good that historians no longer spend all their efforts relating the glories and trials of political and military leaders.

ISBN: 9780803262157 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 179 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) As stubborn, as surprising, as artful as life in its refusal to conform to a particular literary genre, Marcel Benabou s book is at once a memoir and a novel, a confession and a reflection on the prerogatives and imperatives of writing one s story. At its center, forever alluring and elusive, is the beautiful and ethereal Tamara, the exact incarnation of our narrator s most enduring fantasy a femme fatale for the lover of form.

Washington and Rome: Catholicism in American Culture
ISBN: 9780268019532 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) To an outside observer, the religious culture of the United States might seem astonishing. For German sociologist Michael Zoller, American Catholicism is more than that; it is a contradiction in terms. With its historical consciousness, emphasis on institutionalized structures, and combination of skepticism and assurance of grace, Catholicism seems to embody the very opposite of the American cultural principle. Zoller here reexamines widely held notions about secularization and the role of religion in civil society to show how Catholicism was integrated into the Protestant, egalitarian, and...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) This elegant essay exemplifies Blumenberg's ideas about the ability of the historical study of metaphor to illuminate essential aspects of being human.

The Ambivalences of Medieval Religious Drama
ISBN: 9780804737913 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) What is medieval religious drama, and what function does it serve in negotiating between the domains of theology and popular life? This book aims to answer these questions by studying three sets of these dramas: tenth-century Easter plays, twelfth-century Adam plays, and fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Passion plays. However, the author's intent is not to present a genre history. Instead, he seeks to mediate between the historical development of the plays and a systematic unfolding of the archetypal structure within which the plays grasp salvation history and act it out. His theoretical...

Psychoanalysis and the Human Sciences
ISBN: 9780231177641 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) What can psychoanalysis, a psychological approach developed more than a century ago, offer us in an age of rapidly evolving, hard-to-categorize ideas of sexuality and the self? Should we abandon Freud's theories completely or adapt them to new findings and the new relationships taking shape in modern liberal societies? In a remarkably prescient series of lectures delivered in the early 1960s, the French philosopher Louis Althusser anticipated the challenges that psychoanalytic theory would face as politics moved away from structuralist frameworks and toward the elastic possibilities of...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) A Berlin Republic brings together writings on the new, united Germany by one of their most original and trenchant commentators, Jürgen Habermas. Among other topics, he addresses the consequences of German history, the challenges and perils of the post-Wall era, and Germany's place in contemporary Europe.
Here, as in his earlier The Past as Future, Habermas emerges as an inspired analyst of contemporary German political and intellectual life.
