Classical Individualism: The Supreme Importance of Each Human Being
ISBN: 9780415757188 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Classical Individualism, Tibor R. Machan argues that individualism is far from being dead. Machan identifies, develops and defends what he calls classical individualism - an individualism humanised by classical philosophy, rooted in Aristotle rather than Hobbes. This book does not reject the social nature of human beings, but finds that every one has a self-directed agent who is responsible for what he or she does. Machan rejects all types of collectivism, including communitarianism, ethnic solidarity, racial unity, and gender identity. The ideas expressed here have important social and...

The Passion for Liberty
ISBN: 9780742531031 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In The Passion for Liberty, Tibor R. Machan defends a libertarian conception of a free society, one in which individuals are sovereign, self-governing beings, not subject to others' will without their consent. In the tradition of John Locke, Adam Smith, Ayn Rand, and Robert Nozick, Machan argues that such a society--far from being hedonistic, licentious, or disorderly--is the best possible ideal for humans. In doing so, he addresses specific issues such as affirmative action, abortion, military intervention, and torture in light of the relationship between liberty and democracy. As freedom...

Textual Criticism and Middle English Texts
ISBN: 9780813915081 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Textual-Critical studies of medieval English literature have primarily focused on practical matters such as transcription, collation, recension, and the identification of scribal hands. But the theory of editing medieval English works remains largely unexplored. Tim William Machan addresses this void by setting out to articulate the textual and cultural factors that distinctively characterize Middle English works as Middle English and to reveal the role these factors play in editing and interpretation of these works. In revealing how the creation of textual criticism affected the...

Anarchism/Minarchism: Is a Government Part of a Free Country?
ISBN: 9780754660668 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. It is well known that the radical libertarian philosopher Robert Nozick sharply distinguished his vision of the free society from egalitarian liberals such as John Rawls. Less remarked upon is the distinction he drew between the free society governed by a strictly limited government, commonly referred to as 'minarchism', and the society without any government at all a anarchism. In this volume, the editors, Long a an anarchist a and Machan a a minarchist a have brought together a selection of specially commissioned essays from key theorists actively involved in this debate. Each tackles the...

Objectivity: Recovering Determinate Reality in Philosophy, Science, and Everyday Life
ISBN: 9781138620056 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 131 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The question of objectivity is whether human beings are capable of knowing reality just as it is, or whether there is some necessary distortion in our grasp of the nature of things imposed either by the very nature of our cognitive mechanism, or by such factors as language, culture, personal ambitions, psychological disorders, and class interests. Could it be that we do not see the world at all, since we see it from a particular point of view? Can we ever satisfactorily establish that our understanding of reality is accurate, or must that always remain in doubt? In this book Professor Machan...

What Is English?: And Why Should We Care?
ISBN: 9780198736677 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What is English? Can we be as certain as we usually are when we say something is not English? To find some answers Tim Machan explores the language's present and past, and looks ahead to its futures among the one and a half billion people who speak it. His search is fascinating and important, for definitions of English have influenced education and law in many countries and helped shape the identities of those who live in them.
Finding an account that fits the constantly changing varieties of English is, Tim Machan finds, anything but simple. But he rises to the challenge, grappling with... What is English?

The Pseudo-Science of B. F. Skinner
ISBN: 9780761836544 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Pseudo-Science of B.F. Skinner was Professor Tibor Machan's first book. Now, nearly forty years after its initial publication and after three dozen additional books published by Machan, it is available again through University Press of America. This study is still alive with its initial inquiry into the work of B.F. Skinner, and it is just as influential upon young students today as it was forty years ago. Was Skinner a bona fide scientist or an amateur metaphysician? Was Skinner correct to hold that only what can be observed matters when it comes to understanding ourselves? Was he...

Liberty and Culture
ISBN: 9780879755249 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Has Marxism finally shown itself to be a bankrupt social philosophy? Why should we strive for economic democracy? Are individual human rights to be protected only so long as no one is inconvenienced? Are radical measures needed in the defense of our freedoms? Can competitive, profit-oriented free market capitalism coincide with heart-felt public concern for the social welfare of others? Why do so many people harbor anti-business attitudes? Have we become a nation of moral eunuchs who won't, or can't stand up for their own rights? Is there is right to health care? Has society really been...

Revisiting Marxism: A Bourgeois Reassessment
ISBN: 9780761832959 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For some time there has been no direct critique of Marx's ideas from those who value the position he most harshly attacked, bourgeois capitalism. The few who did criticize Marx were economists such as Thomas Sowell, Eugen Bohm-Bawerk, and Ludwig von Mises. Others attacked Marx's ideas, but did not actually defend the concept of capitalism. In 1987, shortly before the fall of the Soviet Union, David Conway published his Farewell to Marx, which offered a philosophical critique of Marx. This work, however, developed, in part, from a position that uncritically embraces economism, or what the...
