Platonic Studies
ISBN: 9780691100210 / Angielski / Miękka / 1973 / 504 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. This book consists of Gregory Vlastos' studies on a variety of themes in Plato's metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and social philosophy.

Peasant Protests and Uprisings in Tokugawa Japan
ISBN: 9780520072039 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Japanese peasant has been thought of as an obedient and passive subject of the feudal ruling class. Yet Tokugawa villagers frequently engaged in unlawful and disruptive protests. Moreover, the frequency and intensity of the peasants' collective action increased markedly at the end of the Tokugawa period. Stephen Vlastos's examination of the changing patterns of peasant protest in the Fukushima area shows that peasant mobilization was restricted both ideologically and organizationally and that peasants did not become a prime moving force in the Meiji Restoration.

Socrates: Ironist Moral Philos
ISBN: 9780521314503 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This long-awaited study of the most enigmatic figure of Greek philosophy reclaims Socrates' ground-breaking originality. Written by a leading historian of Greek thought, it argues for a Socrates who, though long overshadowed by his successors Plato and Aristotle, marked the true turning point in Greek philosophy, religion and ethics. The quest for the historical figure focuses on the Socrates of Plato's earlier dialogues, setting him in sharp contrast to that other Socrates of later dialogues, where he is used as a mouthpiece for Plato's often anti-Socratic doctrine. At the heart of the book...

Socrates, Ironist and Moral Philosopher: Civilian Control of Nuclear Weapons in the United States
ISBN: 9780801497872 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Gregory's new book begins from the conviction that Socrates strangeness is the key to his philosophy. It is a marvelous book, in which no major aspect of Socrates career is eclipsed. The rigor of his arguments, the depth of his moral commitment and understanding, his complex relationship to Athenian ethical traditions, his rational religion: all this comes to life in writing whose vigor and lucidity put the challenge of Socrates squarely before the reader.
