Reason, Truth and Self: The Postmodern Reconditioned
ISBN: 9780415118538 / Angielski / Miękka / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Michael Luntley provides a lively introduction to the debate over postmodernism.

This has led them to ignore the very real problems raised by the postmodernists. Luntley offers a clear and careful exposition of how rational debate survives despite the Enlightenment's failings.

Deconstruction and Pragmatism
ISBN: 9780415121699 / Angielski / Twarda / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Deconstruction and pragmatism constitute two of the major intellectual influences on the contemporary theoretical scene; influences personified in the work of Jacques Derrida and Richard Rorty.

ISBN: 9780415139441 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Traditional accounts of the feminist history of philosophy have viewed reason as associated with masculinity and subsequent debates have been framed by this assumption. Yet recent debates in deconstruction have shown that gender has never been a stable matter. In the history of philosophy 'female' and 'woman' are full of ambiguity.

Yielding Gender explores this question by examining three crucial areas; the issue of gender as 'troubled'; deconstruction; and feminist criticism of the history of...

Aristotle : Critical Assessments
ISBN: 9780415148849 / Angielski / Twarda / 1624 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The works of Aristotle are central to the western philosophical tradition, and scholarship on Aristotle, especially in English, has burgeoned enormously since the 1950s. This text collects together articles on Aristotle's philosophy otherwise scattered over many philosophical, classical and historical scientific journals. The set thus provides a resource for those approaching the literature for the first time and for those already studying Aristotle in a professional capacity. Aristotle has been so influential and remains so in so many distinct areas that it is often the case that, say, a...
