A Compulsion for Antiquity fully explores how Freud appropriated figures and themes from...

How do academics survive the bureaucracy, the petty jealousies, the absurdities of operating in the university?

Bettelheim: Living and Dying
ISBN: 9789042023802 / Angielski / Miękka / 181 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "A self-declared 'critical admirer' and final confident of Bruno Bettelheim, David James Fisher succeeds with as balanced and nuanced a portrayal as seems possible of the character, the lifetime contributions, and the final justifications of a most controversial psychoanalytic eminence.

Fisher's book is highly recommended reading for all concerned with the interplay...

Alexis de Tocqueville, the First Social Scientist
ISBN: 9780521740074 / Angielski / Miękka / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book proposes a new interpretation of Alexis de Tocqueville that views him first and foremost as a social scientist rather than as a political theorist. Drawing on his earlier work on the explanation of social behavior, Elster argues that Tocqueville s main claim to our attention today rests on the large number of exportable causal mechanisms to be found in his work, many of which are still worthy of further exploration. Elster proposes a novel reading of Democracy in America in which the key explanatory variable is the rapid economic and political turnover rather than equality of wealth...
