A Treatise of Human Nature
ISBN: 9780879757434 / Angielski / Miękka / 639 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Nothing is more curiously enquired after . . . than the causes of every phenomenon. . . . We] push on our enquiries, till we arrive at the original and ultimate principle. . . . This is our aim in all our studies and reflections." These words sum up David Hume's plan: To discover the fundamental principles at work in the nature and extent of human knowledge, and in so doing to gain a clearer understanding of our perception, ideas (e.g. of cause and effect), impressions, beliefs, passions, virtues, and vices. Hume's piercing critique and relentless analysis make this truly one of the...

Does Life Have a Meaning
ISBN: 9780879758608 / Angielski / Twarda / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "The meaning of life" . . we question it, ponder it, dispute and fret about it, but at some point each of us finds the need to address this fundamental issue of human existence. Some believe that there is a purpose inherent in our nature as human beings and in the vast universe of which we are but a small part. Others hold that the values we strive for and the virtues we seek are revealed to us by a divine creator of the cosmos in whose plan we figure as integral components. Still others say that our lives have no intrinsic meaning beyond that which we give them.

Nature and Pursuit of Love
ISBN: 9780879759124 / Angielski / Twarda / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Singer's approach to love in philosophy, literature, music and psychology is classical throughout, and never far from the question of eros and agape as it gives rise to the Western tradition. His exploration of Sigmund Freud and George Santayana guide his thinking, his historical philosophizing moves with an abiding respect for science and art. The essays of this volume, which are the proceedings of a conference on the importance of Singer's work, reflect his broad interests and yet focus on his key distinction between love as appraisal and love as bestowal. They assess Singer's view of love...

The Philosophy of Laughter and Humor
ISBN: 9780887063275 / Angielski / Miękka / 285 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book assesses the adequacy of the traditional theories of laughter and humor, suggests revised theories, and explores such areas as the aesthetics and ethics of humor, and the relation of amusement to other mental states. Theories of laughter and humor originated in ancient times with the view that laughter is an expression of feelings of superiority over another person. This superiority theory was held by Plato, Aristotle, and Hobbes. Another aspect of laughter, noted by Aristotle and Cicero and neglected until Kant and Schopenhauer developed it into the incongruity theory, is that...

The Body
ISBN: 9780887064685 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores mind-body philosophy from an Asian perspective. It sheds new light on a problem central in modern Western thought. Yuasa shows that Eastern philosophy has generally formulated its view of mind-body unity as an achievement a state to be acquired--rather than as essential or innate. Depending on the individual's own developmental state, the mind-body connection can vary from near dissociation to almost perfect integration. Whereas Western mind-body theories have typically asked what the mind-body is, Yuasa asks how the mind-body relation varies on a spectrum from the...

Angst and the Abyss: The Hermeneutics of Nothingness
ISBN: 9780891308638 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book takes Angst in the face of the abyss as its unifying metaphor. After a historical survey of Angst from ancient religions to Jacob Boehme, David K. Coe goes on to examine critically Angst in Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Sartre, and Tillich. He concludes by summarizing Angst in two modes: as a "reflective apprehension" of a self standing at the abyss (Sartre and Tillich), and as a "pre-reflective apprehension of the abyss itself (Kierkegaard and Heidegger).

Man and His Becoming According to the Vedanta
ISBN: 9780900588624 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Guenon published his fundamental doctrinal work, Man and His Becoming according to the Vedanta, in 1925. After asserting that the Vedanta represents the purest metaphysics in Hindu doctrine, he acknowledges the impossibility of ever expounding it exhaustively and states that the specific object of his study will be the nature and constitution of the human being. Nonetheless, taking the human being as point of departure, he goes on to outline the fundamental principles of all traditional metaphysics. He leads the reader gradually to the doctrine of the Supreme Identity and its logical...

Emotions and Choice from Boethius to Descartes
ISBN: 9781402009938 / Angielski / Twarda / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As with almost all books, this one took much longer to complete than we thought when we started. It began within the research project "Actions and Passions of the Mind from 1200-1700" which was financed by the Nordic Research Council in the Humanities (NOS-H) between 1999 and 2001, but as the topic became clearer the book grew and the final product involves several people outside the original group in the NOS-H project. Many of the papers published here started as talks given at meetings of the project, but no meeting resembles the finished book. Indeed, all the articles are, in the end,...

Dependencies, Connections, and Other Relations: A Theory of Mental Causation
ISBN: 9781402013911 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The text before you is a study ofthe problematic issue ofmental causation: causation by minds. On hearing the expression 'mental causation, ' you may at first think ofsomething like bending spoons by 'psychic' powers. But no, we are dealing here with something much more puzzling: doing things for reasons, i. e., what we call agency. Psychic spoon-bending would be a fairly straightforward issue. You just exert some psychic force and bend a spoon, just like you might bend it by hand, i. e., by physical force. The only trouble here is that psychic forces may not be in fact available '. But now...

Scars of the Spirit: The Struggle Against Inauthenticity
ISBN: 9781403965585 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this fascinating collection of essays, noted cultural critic Geoffrey Hartman raises the essential question of where we can find the real or authentic in today's world, and how this affects the way we can understand our human predicament. Hartman explores such issues as the fantasy of total and perfect information available on the Internet, the biographical excesses of tell-all daytime talk shows, and how we can understand what is "true" in biographical and testimonial writing. And, what, he asks, is the ethical point of all this personal testimony? What has it really taught us?...
