Experience and Its Modes
ISBN: 9781107534186 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When it first appeared in 1933, Experience and its Modes was not considered a classic. But as philosophical fashion moved away from the analytic philosophy of the 1930s, this work began to seem ahead of its time. Arguing that experience is 'modal', in the sense that we always have a theoretical or practical perspective on the world, Michael Oakeshott explores the nature of philosophical experience and its relationship to three of the most important 'modes' of non-philosophical experience - science, history and practice - seeking to establish the autonomy and superiority of philosophy.

ISBN: 9781843837206 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A treasury of information based on solid scholarship, anyone seeking a factual and vivid account of the story of arms from the Renaissance period to the Industrial Revolution will welcome this book. The author chooses as his starting-point the invasion of Italy by France in 1494, which sowed the dragon's teeth of all the successive European wars; the French invasion was to accelerate the trend towards new armaments and new methods of warfare.

Jesus on Stage: John's Gospel and Greek Tragedy
ISBN: 9781496999313 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Jesus on Stage argues that the Gospel of John is, in its present form, an ancient historical novel, but that the evangelist's first version was his own draft for a Greek play. The development of Greek drama at Athens is briefly described, with new suggestions on some details, and the continuing influence of the great Greek tragedians in the 1st Century AD is shown. Then the internal evidence in the gospel which points to an earlier draft play is marshalled: not merely dramatic scenes, some of which echo Sophocles, but speeches only appropriate to the stage, puzzling features which make sense...

The Sword in the Age of Chivalry
ISBN: 9780851157153 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The resplendent image of the medieval knight is symbolised by his sword, a lethal weapon on the battlefield and a badge of chivalry in that complex social code. Ewart Oakeshott draws on his extensive research to recount the history of the sword from the knightly successors of the Viking weapon to the emergence of the Renaissance sword - roughly from 1050 to 1550. Evidence for dating is adduced from literature and art as well as from archaeology, and a detailed chronological typology of swords is developed, based on entire swords, pommel-forms, cross-guards, and the grip and scabbard. With...

Rationalism in Politics & Other Essays
ISBN: 9780865970953 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 582 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Rationalism in Politics, first published in 1962, has established the late Michael Oakeshott as the leading conservative political theorist in modern Britain. This expanded collection of essays astutely points out the limits of 'reason' in rationalist politics. Oakeshott criticizes ideological schemes to reform society according to supposedly 'scientific' or rationalistic principles that ignore the wealth and variety of human experience. Rationalism in politics, says Oakeshott, involves a misconception with regard to the nature of human knowledge. History has shown that it produces...

On Human Conduct
ISBN: 9780198277583 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. On Human Conduct is composed of three connected essays. Each has its own concern: the first with theoretical understanding, and with human conduct in general; the second with an ideal mode of human relationship which the author has called civil association; and the third with that ambiguous, historic association commonly called a modern European state.
Running through the work is Professor Oakshott's belief in philosophical reflection as an adventure: the adventure of one who seeks to understand in other terms what he already understands, and where the understanding is sought is a...

Religion, Politics, and the Moral Life
ISBN: 9780300176797 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Michael Oakeshott's lifelong interest in religion and its relation to politics is made explicit in this collection of essays. It comprises four important unpublished pieces, together with a further six which originally appeared in remote and inaccessible journals, and provides an illuminating complement to Oakeshott's best-known writings. Much of the collection emanates from his early career, and reveals not only his initial intellectual preoccupations, but the nature of his religious outlook, the moral convictions that governed the life he himself lived, and his sense of what it means to...
