Art of Success
ISBN: 9781594623110 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There are several accepted opinions as to the kind of man who should undertake the writing of a book on the principles of Success. It is held by some that he should be a man of wealth-wealth which he has earned by the unaided use of his own powers. Others hold that wealth is not a necessary qualification in any sense; all that is needed is the ability to observe life, and to draw correct inferences from its phenomena. As to which of these views may be correct, it is hardly my business to say; and although every writer is expected to consider his competency for the task essayed, it frequently...

The Philosophy of History
ISBN: 9781594624223 / Angielski / Miękka / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (August 27, 1770 - November 14, 1831) was a German philosopher. He was born in Stuttgart, southwest Germany. One of his biggest achievements was to introduce the idea that History and the concrete are important in getting out of the circle of philosophia perennis, i.e., the perennial problems of philosophy. His influence has been widespread on writers of widely varying positions, including both his admirers (F. H. Bradley, Sartre, Hans Kung, Bruno Bauer, Karl Marx), and his detractors (Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Schelling).

The Principles, published when the author was only twenty-six, is the most systematic of all of Berkeley's expositions of his theory of knowledge: it was the direct outgrowth of the Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision (1709), which sought to ban-ish the metaphysical abstractions of Absolute Space and Extension from philosophy, and was itself mainly concerned with the aboli-tion of Abstract Matter and of the ontological and theological corollaries of that concept. The Dialogues treat of substantially the same subjects but are more familiar and elegant in form and are devoted in the main to...
