Shakespeare's Philosophy: Discovering the Meaning Behind the Plays
ISBN: 9780060856168 / Angielski / Miękka / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Shakespeare's plays are usually studied by literary scholars and historians and the books about him from those perspectives are legion. It is most unusual for a trained philosopher to give us his insight, as Colin McGinn does here, into six of Shakespeare's greatest plays--A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, King Lear, and The Tempest. In his brilliant commentary, McGinn explores Shakespeare's philosophy of life and illustrates how he was influenced, for example, by the essays of Montaigne that were translated into English while Shakespeare was writing. In addition... Shakespeare's plays are usually studied by literary scholars and historians and the books about him from those perspectives are legion. It is most ... |

Dogmatics in Outline
ISBN: 9780061300561 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Barth stands before us as the greatest theologian of the twentieth century, yet the massive corpus of work which he left behind, the multi volume Church Dogmatics, can seem daunting and formidable to readers today. Fortunately his Dogmatics in Outline first published in English in 1949, contains in brilliantly concentrated form even in shorthand, the essential tenets of his thinking. Built around the assertions made in the Apostles Creed the book consists of a series of reflections on the foundation stones of Christian doctrine. Because Dogmatics in Outline derives from very particular...

This anthology of readings in contemporary Western philosophy focuses on 19th-century philosophers who represent a variety of responses to the issue of their day: whether or not there was a knowable, nonhuman rational order upon which thinking persons could willfully choose to act.

Accompanying the text are drawings, diagrams, photographs, and a timeline; all of which allow the reader to really study the major philosophical thinkers of the 19th-century: Bentham, Wollstonecraft, Fichte, Hegel,...

The Fringe of Understanding [Large Print]: Questions That Exist on the Fringe of Understanding - Awareness - Meaning - Life - Death - Pain - Evil-
ISBN: 9781517288587 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. There are areas in life that touch literally ever one of us; while, at the same time, raising questions that have no clear answer. For example, everyone has questions about life, death, pain, evil, and the concept of God. We also have concerns about everyday things, such as ethics, violence, cooperative effort, and economic success. In the absence of well grounded answers we have ideas popping up that range all over the map. They vary from culture to culture and individual to individual. Some are meaningful while others are just plain destructive. The intent of this work is to paint a...

The Portable Benjamin Franklin
ISBN: 9780143039549 / Angielski / Miękka / 551 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

The Nature of Morality : An Introduction to Ethics
ISBN: 9780195021431 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book is a philosophical introduction to ethics. It differs from existing texts by focusing on a basic philosophical problem about morality, its apparent immunity from observational testing. Other texts either ignore this issue altogether, in order to concentrate on interesting but largely nonphilosophical discussions of moral problems, or treat the issue as only one of several highly technical questions in something called 'meta-ethics.'

Pragmatics: A Reader
ISBN: 9780195058987 / Angielski / Miękka / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Until recently, pragmatics--the study of language in relation to the users of language--has been the neglected member of the traditional three-part division of the study of signs; syntax, semantics, pragmatics. This volume--the first of its kind--brings together the most important literature in this rapidly expanding field, including both classic papers and the work of the best-known contemporary theorists. Extremely broad-based, the book draws on the work of philosophers, linguists, and psychologists, and includes seminal papers by some of the most important writers on pragmatics over the...

The violent clash between Hasidim and African-Americans in Crown Heights. The boats of Haitian refugees being turned away from the Land of Opportunity. These are among the many racially-charged images that have burst across our television screens in the last year alone, images that show that for all our complacent beliefs in a melting-pot society, race is as much of a problem as ever in America.
