Montaigne and the Lives of the Philosophers: Life Writing and Transversality in the Essais
ISBN: 9781611495539 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In his Essais, Montaigne stresses that his theoretical interest in philosophy goes hand in hand with its practicality. In fact, he makes it clear that there is little reason to live our lives according to doctrine without proof that others have successfully done so. Understanding Montaigne's philosophical thought, therefore, means not only studying the philosophies of the great thinkers, but also the characters and ways of life of the philosophers themselves. The focus of Montaigne and the Lives of the Philosophers: Life Writing and Transversality in the Essais is how Montaigne assembled the...

Since the publication of The Prince five centuries ago, Machiavelli has been associated with political amorality. But that characterization is unfair.

Shaking the dust from history, Benner masterfully interweaves Machiavelli's words with those of his friends and enemies, giving us...

Huxley ne fait d'ailleurs qu'ac-quitter une dette de l'ecole a laquelle il appartient. Les philosophes anglais de ce temps, et notamment Stuart Mill, n'ont pas assez dit ce qu'ils devaient a Hume; ils n'ont pas assez declare soit les emprunts volontaires qu'ils lui ont faits, soit les rapports naturels qui les unissent a lui. Il etait de toute justice que cette omission fut reparee. Il s'est trouve que, sans avoir fait de physiologie, par la seule analyse de la pensee, Hume a construit une psychologie phenomenale, une psychologie sans...

Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
ISBN: 9781544194073 / Angielski / Miękka / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The second century CE Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was also a Stoic philosopher, and his private Meditations, written in Greek, gives readers a unique opportunity to see how an ancient person (indeed an emperor) might try to live a Stoic life, according to which only virtue is good, only vice is bad, and the things which we busy ourselves with are all indifferent. The difficulties Marcus faces putting Stoicism into practice are philosophical as well as practical, and understanding his efforts increases our philosophical appreciation of Stoicism.
