Beyond the Natural Body: An Archaeology of Sex Hormones
ISBN: 9780415091916 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the early decades of the 20th century, the notion of the hormonally-constructed body has become the dominant mode of conceptualizing bodies, particularly female bodies, to such an extent that it is often assumed to be a natural phenomenon. This book challenges the idea that there is such a thing as a natural body and demonstrates that it is the process by which scientific claims achieve universal status that constructs such discourses as natural facts.

ISBN: 9780415095792 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Thought experiments are performed in the laboratory of the mind. Beyond this metaphor it is difficult to say just what these remarkable devices for investigating nature are or how they work. Though most scientists and philosophers would admit their great importance, there has been very little serious study of them. This volume is the first book-length investigation of thought experiments.
Starting with Galileo's argument on falling bodies, Brown describes numerous examples of the most influential thought experiments from the history of science. Following this introduction to the subject,... Thought experiments are performed in the laboratory of the mind.

ISBN: 9780415098205 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What does the politics of the self mean for a politics of liberation? Morwenna Griffiths argues that mainstream philosophy, particularly the anglo-analytic tradition, needs to tackle the issues of the self, identity, autonomy and self creation. Although identity has been a central concern of feminist thought it has in the main been excluded from philosophical analysis.
Feminisms and the Self is both a critique and a construction of feminist philosophy. After the powerful challenges that postmodernism and poststructuralism posed to liberation movements like feminism, Griffiths... What does the politics of the self mean for a politics of liberation?

Why Posterity Matters: Environmental Policies and Future Generations
ISBN: 9780415100182 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a comprehensive philosophical examination of our duties to future generations. It appears at a time when it is becoming increasingly obvious that we can no longer exploit the environment without causing risks for posterity. Dr De-Shalit argues that our obligations towards new generations are a matter of justice, not of charity or supererogation. It becomes our duty to consider them when we distribute access to natural resources, decide on environmental policies and plan budgets. This raises problems for conventional theories of justice. The book puts forward a new communitarian...

Postnationalist Ireland: Politics, Culture, Philosophy
ISBN: 9780415115025 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The encroachment of globalization and demands for greater regional autonomy have had a profound effect on the way we picture Ireland. This work looks at the key issue of sovereignty, and asks how we should think about the identity of a postnationalist Ireland. It goes to the heart of the conflict over demands for communal identity - traditionally expressed by nationalism - and the demand for a universal model of citizenship - traditionally expressed by republicanism. Is so doing, the text asks us to question whether the sacrosanct concept of absolute national sovereignty is becoming a luxury...
