Choć życie potrafi być piękną przygodą, to jednak często towarzyszy mu lęk związany z brakiem poczucia celu.

Spicing his account with engaging observations by writers like Seneca,...

ISBN: 9783959725583 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 2022 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Manche Menschen erholen sich scheinbar mühelos von Rückschlägen, andere zerbrechen daran. Wir denken oft, dass diese Reaktionen unvermeidlich sind, aber das ist zum Glück nicht der Fall. Der Stoizismus, eine der erfolgreichsten Denkschulen aus dem alten Rom, bietet einen alternativen Ansatz: Er lehrt uns, jede Herausforderung als Charaktertest zu betrachten und unsere emotionale Reaktion darauf bewusst zu steuern.

Aha!: The Moments of Insight That Shape Our World
ISBN: 9780190690274 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Great ideas often develop gradually after studying a problem at length--but not always. Sometimes, an insight hits like a bolt from the blue. For Archimedes, clarity struck while he was taking a bath. For Gustav Mahler, it came as the blades of his oars touched the water. And for Albert Einstein, it emerged while he was talking to a friend. Why do these moments of insight strike so suddenly? Why do they so often come to us when we are focused on something completely unrelated? And when great ideas -come to- us, where do they come from?

Why do insults cause us such pain? Can we do anything to prevent or lessen this pain? Most importantly, how can we overcome our inclination to insult others? In A Slap in the Face, William Irvine undertakes a wide-ranging investigation of insults, their history, the role they play in social relationships, and the science behind them. He examines not just memorable zingers, such as Elizabeth Bowen's description of Aldous Huxley as "The stupid person's idea of a clever person," but subtle insults as...

The Boulanger Affair Reconsidered: Royalism, Boulangism, and the Origins of the Radical Right in France
ISBN: 9780195053340 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Recent scholarship on General Boulanger's 1888-89 bid for power in France's Third Republic has focused on the combination of socialism and national chauvinism in the movement supporting Boulanger's campaign, seeing in this alliance the left-wing origins of 20th-century fascism. In this groundbreaking new study, Irvine challenges that analysis, arguing that royalist and conservative supporters provided the crucial financial and electoral backing to the Boulanger movement. This places the origins of the exploitation of mass politics by extreme rightists in a much earlier period than has been...

Between Justice and Politics: The Ligue Des Droits de l'Homme, 1898-1945
ISBN: 9780804753173 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Between Justice and Politics is a history of the first fifty years of the Ligue des droits de l'Homme--the League of the Rights of Man. This is the first book-length study of the Ligue in any language, and it is informed by the recently available archives of the organization. Founded during the Dreyfus Affair, the Ligue took as its mandate the defense of human rights in all their forms. The central argument of this book--and the point on which it differs from all other writings on the subject--is that the Ligue often failed to live up to its mandate because...

Musonius Rufus: Lectures and Sayings
ISBN: 9781456459666 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Musonius Rufus (c. AD 30-100) was one of the four great Roman Stoic philosophers, the other three being Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and Musonius' pupil Epictetus. During his life, Musonius' Stoicism was put to the test, most notably during an exile to Gyaros, a barren island in the Aegean Sea. Because Stoicism was, for Musonius, not merely a philosophy but a prescription for daily living, he has been called "the Roman Socrates." MUSONIUS RUFUS: LECTURES AND SAYINGS will therefore be welcomed by those who seek insight into the practice of Stoicism. In this volume, readers will find Cynthia King's...
