Epz Spinoza's 'Ethics': A Reader's Guide

In this single volume Spinoza offers the reader an unorthodox account of God, a novel version of the mind-body relation, a systematic theory of the emotions and a detailed prescription for human virtue and blessedness.

The Legacy of John Rawls
ISBN: 9780826499875 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. John Rawls was unquestionably the most important moral and political philosopher of the last one hundred years.

This book fills the void, making a substantial contribution not only to work on Rawls's thought but to contemporary debates in...

Centenary of the Famous 41: Sexuality and Social Control in Mexico,1901
ISBN: 9781403960498 / Angielski / Miękka / 311 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On November 17, 1901, Mexico City police raided a private party and arrested 41 men, half of whom were dressed as women. Clandestine transvestite balls were not unheard of at this time, and a raid would not normally gain national attention. However, Mexican cultural trends in literature, art, the sciences, and in journalism were inciting an atmosphere of sexual curiosity that was in search of the right turn of events to ignite a discursive explosion and focus interest on what was not a new phenomenon, but what was about to become a new concept: homosexuality. The editors treat the "nefarious"...

Well-Being and Theism: Linking Ethics to God
ISBN: 9781441100306 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Well-Being and Theism is divided into two distinctive parts. The first part argues that desire-fulfillment welfare theories fail to capture the 'good' part of ?good for', and that objective list welfare theories fail to capture the 'for' part of ?good for'. Then, with the aim of capturing both of these parts of ?good for', a conjunctive theory-one which places both a value constraint and a desire constraint on well-being-is advanced. Lauinger then defends this proposition, which he calls the desire-perfectionism theory, against possible objections.? ? In the second part,...
