The Romantic Syndrome: Toward a New Method in Cultural Anthropology and History of Ideas
ISBN: 9789024703821 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this age of specialism philosophers, like other specialists, tend to take in each other's washing. Here, perhaps imprudently, I attempt to break out of this pattern. Though I am by profes- sion a philosopher, I am addressing primarily, not other philo- sophers, but cultural anthropologists, sociologists, historians of ideas, and literary and art critics. Thus, while there are chapters in this book on metaphysics and political theory, I do not ask, "Is the doctrine in question true?" - which is the kind of ques- tion a philosopher might be expected to raise. Instead I ask, "What can we...

ISBN: 9781449005375 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Congress, as a body, is trampling our Constitution. For more than 200 years the symbol of the United States has been the eagle. Yet apathy and dependency has turned many of its people into sheep. In the natural world, even a sheep will protect its young from danger. Are we any different than they? "It has been said here many times that we want to make the Senate the same as everyone else, that we want to treat Senators the same as everyone else, that we want to have the Senate treated the same as the private sector. Mr. President, not a single Senator believes that. Not a single Senator wants...

must begin with his most notable feature, the one that draws the eye like a magnet before which one is powerless to resist is his chest. Specifically the malignant radiation that shines palpably through it from the dark and foul apparatus that he must call his heart. So filled with hate is this terrible organ that it overflows into the visual field, bubbling like some dark chemical from the very pores of his chest. This black smoky malevolence is in sharp contrast to the radiant white of his skin and it twists and coils around him,... I quake to describe him, but I suppose I must... I

Thinking Time
ISBN: 9783639162769 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Thinking Time investigates the metaphysics involved in the study time. The way we tend to think about the world, including our common-sense notions and the scientific ideas we are working on, are full of metaphysical background theory. The underlying assumption of this book is that time - scientific or subjective - cannot be understood isolated from other aspects concerning human existence and activities. However, there is a long tradition within Western thinking that seeks to elliminate any subjective representation of reality, regarding subjectivity as the nest of illusions. This is of...

Apologies
ISBN: 9783639176032 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On one occasion or another, we have all found ourselves in a position where we felt obliged to offer an apology. In fact, it is interesting to note how frequently we find ourselves in these predicaments, and how quickly and instinctively we tend to blurt out "I'm sorry" or "I apologize" or "Pardon me" for even the smallest breaches of decorum. More interesting still is the ability of an apology to "set things right" - to resolve conflicts, repair broken trust, and restore social equilibrium. In this book, Jason Adsit addresses four key questions about our practice of apologizing: What is an...

Philosophy of Media Sounds
ISBN: 9780981997261 / Angielski / Miękka / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Media opened music to sound, and made it universally available material for multiple collages. At the same time media puts music in the state of a constant murmuring drone, an incessant flowing. Music in the age of technical media continues to move between these two polarities. The outcome depends upon our creativity, and our competence, in both music and media. "Philosophy of Media Sounds, edited and introduced by Michael Schmidt, contains texts of Richard Wagner, Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes, Theodor W. Adorno, Marshall McLuhan, John Cage, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. The Reader...

People and Societies: ROM Harré and Designing the Social Sciences
ISBN: 9780415567244 / Angielski / Twarda / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rom Harre has pushed the boundaries of our thinking about people and societies and has challenged the orthodox philosophy of science and social psychology. His countless books and articles have inspired generations of scholars in philosophy, psychology, linguistics, cognitive science and social theory. The diversity of his work makes that some see him as a leading figure in the critical realist school of philosophy of science, other as a key player in developing a social constructionist approach to psychology. The present volume brings together a careful selection of his key writings and...
