Radical Evil
ISBN: 9780745629544 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At present, there is an enormous gulf between the visibility of evil and the paucity of our intellectual resources for coming to grips with it. We have been flooded with images of death camps, terrorist attacks and horrendous human suffering. Yet when we ask what we mean by radical evil and how we are to account for it, we seem to be at a loss for proper responses.
Bernstein seeks to discover what we can learn about the meaning of evil and human responsibility. He turns to philosophers such as Kant, who coined the expression 'radical evil', as well as to Hegel and...

What's Wrong with the World
ISBN: 9781604505825 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A book of modern social inquiry has a shape that is somewhat sharply defined. It begins as a rule with an analysis, with statistics, tables of population, decrease of crime among Congregationalists, growth of hysteria among policemen, and similar ascertained facts; it ends with a chapter that is generally called "The Remedy." It is almost wholly due to this careful, solid, and scientific method that "The Remedy" is never found. (excerpt from "What's Wrong with the World")

Earthly Paradise: Myths and Philosophies
ISBN: 9780674032859 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Paradise haunts the Biblical West. At once the place of origin and exile, utopia and final destination, it has shaped our poetic and religious imagination and informed literary and theological accounts of man's relation with his creator, with language and history. For Kant, Paradise was the inaugural moment for the rise and progress of reason as the agency of human history, slowly but certainly driving humanity away from error and superstition. Nietzsche described it more somberly as the very embodiment of the conflict between humanity and its beliefs. In Earthly Paradise, ... Paradise haunts the Biblical West.

The Positive Function of Evil
ISBN: 9780230219557 / Angielski / Twarda / 185 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This collection explores the controversial and perhaps even abject idea that evils, large and small, human and natural, may have a central positive function to play in our lives. For centuries a concern of religious thinkers from the Christian tradition, very little systematic work has been done to explore this idea from the secular point of view.

Law and Evil: Philosophy, Politics, Psychoanalysis
ISBN: 9780415497916 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Law and Evil opens, expands and deepens our understanding of the phenomenon of evil by addressing the theoretical relationship between this phenomenon and law. Hannah Arendt said 'the problem of evil will be the fundamental question of post-war intellectual life in Europe'. This statement is, unfortunately, more than valid in the contemporary world: not only in the events of war, crimes against humanity, terror, repression, criminality, violence, torture, human trafficking, and so on; but also as evil is used rhetorically to condemn these acts, to categorise their perpetrators,...

Evil and Silence
ISBN: 9781594517280 / Angielski / Twarda / 157 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Inspired by Ludwig Wittgenstein and Stanley Cavell, this book is a profoundly original philosophical work put together as a network of quotations, to show that our language is never our own and that ethics can be understood as an effect of our attitude to language. It is a meditation on justice and addresses the question of how to lead a non-violent life and acknowledge the humanity of others following 9/11 and extending right up to the current moment.Using extensive interdisciplinary sources, "Evil and Silence" investigates the nature of evil and the ways to make a life worth living in the...

Living with Ambiguity: Religious Naturalism and the Menace of Evil
ISBN: 9780791475201 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book Donald A. Crosby looks at how a religion based on the sacredness of nature deals with the problem of evil. Further developing and defending the vision of religious thought and life elaborated in his previous work, A Religion of Nature, Crosby explores how such a vision can enable us to interpret, respond to, and cope with the diverse forms of evil in the world, arguing that an ambiguity of goods and evils in human life, in nature as a whole, and in any conceivable or desirable realm of existence is inevitable. It is therefore futile to seek recourse in powers, presences, states,...

ISBN: 9780415562249 / Angielski / Twarda / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The central theme of this collection of essays is the basic tension in Nietzsche, and so in his work, between the urge to weave a satisfying web out of reality and the equally strong compulsion to expose its painful truths.

Nietzsche, Wagner and the Philosophy of Pessimism
ISBN: 9780415562256 / Angielski / Twarda / 20 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this work Hollinrake contends that the nature and extent of the anti-Wagnerian pastiche and polemic in 'Thus Spake Zarathustra' is arguably the most important factor in the association between Nietzsche and Wagner. Thus Wagner is here revealed as one of the principle sources - and targets - of Zarathustra.

Die Natur des Schlechten bei Proklos
ISBN: 9783110212303 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Diese Studie stellt die vom Neuplatoniker Proklos entworfene Theorie des Schlechten erstmals in ihrem systematischen Gesamtzusammenhang dar. Auf dieser Basis wird die Kritik des Proklos an Plotins Zuruckfuhrung des Schlechten auf die Materie der Sinnendinge neu untersucht; der Haupteinwand des Proklos, dass Plotins Theorie des Schlechten mit dessen monistischer Grundthese unvereinbar sei, erweist sich dabei als stichhaltig. Allerdings ist Proklos' eigene Zuruckfuhrung aller Ubel auf eine unbestimmte Vielheit "uneigentlicher" Ursachen mit seinem strengen Monismus letztlich gleich...

Nietzsche's Zarathustra is a guide through the convoluted territory of Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It shows the philosophical significance of the fictional format as a means to simultaneously propose alternatives to traditional dogmas within the Western tradition and reveal the danger of mistaking doctrinal formulations for living philosophical insight.
