ISBN: 9783110183146 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. By redefining established topics of narratology, research has become highly diversified.

Zwischen Rhetorik und Philosophie
ISBN: 9783110191301 / Angielski / Twarda / 474 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Entgegen der verbreiteten Auffassung, nach der Augustins Rhetorik dem Verstandnis seines theologisch-philosophischen Anliegens eher hinderlich ist, versucht das vorliegende Buch, Augustins rhetorische Technik als hermeneutischen Schlussel zu seiner philosophischen Argumentation nutzbar zu machen. Mit Hilfe sorgfaltiger Analysen insbesondere zu De civitate Dei 1-5 weist Christian Tornau nach, dass Augustins Aussagen zu zentralen philosophischen Fragen wie dem Theodizeeproblem, der Frage nach Freiheit und Verantwortung und dem Problem der 'paganen', nicht religios gebundenen Tugend nur...

such as miniseries, sitcoms, and movies of the week off the dial. Because of the genres roots in documentary, many scholars and critics have condemned reality televison for its perceived lack of formal appropriateness and for how it uses documentary conventions for sensational purposes. Examining four representative programs, this book takes a different position, arguing that reality television has more in common with traditional narrative programs than with documentary: its rhetoric is a narrative rhetoric....

ISBN: 9789004113978 / Angielski / Twarda / 580 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This monograph demonstrates why humanism began in Italy in the mid-thirteenth century.

One indeed must question oneself in order to remember, says Plato, but the dialectic, which would be scientific, must be something else even if it remains a play of question and answer. This contradiction did not escape Aristotle: he split the scientific from the dialectic and logic from argumentation whose respective theories he was led to conceive in order to clearly define their boundaries and specificities. As for Plato, he found in the famous theory of Ideas what he sought in order to justify...

This collection may be useful for comparative purposes, but also as an incentive for further studies on generic problems, theoretical as well as topical.

Narrative, Religion and Science: Fundamentalism Versus Irony, 1700-1999
ISBN: 9780521811361 / Angielski / Twarda / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An increasing number of contemporary scientists, philosophers and theologians downplay their professional authority and describe their work as simply "telling stories about the world." If this is so, literary criticism can and should be applied to all these fields. Yet story telling is neither innocent nor empty-handed. Register, rhetoric, and imagery all manipulate in their own ways. Above all, irony emerges as the natural mode of our modern fragmented culture. Since the eighteenth century there have been only two possible ways of understanding the world--the fundamentalist and the ironic.
