After the Last Man: Excurses to the Limits of the Technological System
ISBN: 9780739118740 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this unique, enlightening monograph, Toivo Koivukoski explores the circumstances that have led modern society to use the concept of progress as a surrogate cosmology that gives individuals a sense of place and purpose.

How can we register the significances of cultural distinctions without letting those 'we's' and...

The discipline of peace research has reached a critical impasse, where the ideas of both "realist peace" and "democratic peace" are challenged by contemporary world events. Can we stand by while dictators violate the human rights of citizens? Can we impose a democratic peace through the projection of war? By looking back at the great works of political philosophy, this collection hopes to revive...
