Many of Descartes most... "It is not enough to have a good mind; it is more important to use it well"

Human Nature, Cultural Diversity, and the French Enlightenment
ISBN: 9780195058642 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this work, Henry Vyverberg traces the evolution and consequences of a crucial idea in French Enlightenment thought--the idea of human nature. Human nature was commonly seen as a broadly universal, unchanging entity, though perhaps modifiable by geographical, social, and historical factors. Enlightenment empiricism suggested a degree of cultural diversity that has often been underestimated in studies of the age. Evidence here is drawn from Diderot's celebrated Encyclopedia and from a vast range of writing by such Enlightenment notables as Voltaire, Rousseau, and d'Holbach....

Rhetoric and Irony: Western Literacy and Western Lies
ISBN: 9780195063622 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This pathbreaking study integrates the histories of rhetoric, literacy, and literary aesthetics up to the time of Augustine, focusing on Western concepts of rhetoric as dissembling and of language as deceptive that Swearingen argues have received curiously prominent emphasis in Western aesthetics and language theory. Swearingen reverses the traditional focus on rhetoric as an oral agonistic genre and examines it instead as a paradigm for literate discourse. She proposes that rhetoric and literacy have in the West disseminated the interrelated notions that through learning rhetoric individuals...
