The Metaphysics of Death
ISBN: 9780804720465 / Angielski / Twarda / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This collection of seventeen essays deals with the metaphysical, as opposed to the moral issues pertaining to death. For example, the authors investigate (among other things) the issue of what makes death a bad thing for an individual, if indeed death is a bad thing. This issue is more basic and abstract than such moral questions as the particular conditions under which euthanasia is justified, if it is ever justified. Though there are important connections between the more abstract questions addressed in this book and many contemporary moral issues, such as euthanasia, suicide,...

Life and Death in Freud and Heidegger
ISBN: 9789042016590 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Life and Death in Freud and Heidegger argues that mortality is a fundamental structuring element in human life. The ordinary view of life and death regards them as dichotomous and separate. This book explains why this view is unsatisfactory and presents a new model of the relationship between life and death that sees them as interlinked. Using Heidegger's concept of being towards death and Freud's notion of the death drive, it demonstrates the extensive influence death has on everyday life and gives an account of its structural and existential significance. By bringing the two perspectives...

ISBN: 9783631539163 / Angielski / Miękka / 468 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Concept of Man in the Advaita Vedanta of Sankara concentrates its attention mainly on the anthropology of absolute non-difference. The sources for this work are the Upanishads and the works of the best known Indian philosopher, Sankara. The Advaita doctrine is pure metaphysics and its anthropology is identical with the nature of the supreme Brahman. A number of perspectives of great theological importance have been evolved. This work makes an original contribution to Indian theology by suggesting in the light of Advaita doctrine a metaphysical foundation for theology in general,...

ISBN: 9780819190734 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lonergan has been regarded as a peerless interpreter of Thomas; no one has therefore questioned the adequacy of his Thomistic interpretations in his doctoral work on operative grace in Thomas.

Two Orientations Toward Human Nature
ISBN: 9780754655527 / Angielski / Twarda / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Our culture entertains a schizophrenic attitude towards human nature. On the one hand, egoism is held to be our most powerful motive, playing a crucial cultural role by explaining the appeal of capitalism and providing a foundation for individualism. By contrast much of the continental intellectual tradition speaks of wholeness and alienation, seeing human nature not as self-interested but as herd-like. Guldmann argues that this schism reflects two diverging conceptions of human agency, and that the attempt to locate human nature somewhere along a continuum between egoism and altruism...

Mind, Self and Interiority
ISBN: 9781859721537 / Angielski / Twarda / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contemporary philosophers of mind often raise serious questions around the concepts of self, subjectivity, and a the inner lifea on the grounds that such concepts have their origin in a discredited Cartesian metaphysics. The contention of this book is that the rejection of a interioritya and related concepts has been based on a time-honoured misreading of Descartes. In the course of exposing the misconceived anti-Cartesianism of a wide range of thinkers from Wittgenstein and Ryle to Dennett and Foucault, an attempt is made to clear a space for a new post-Cartesian conception of subjectivity a...

Self-Intellection and Its Epistemological Origins in Ancient Greek Thought
ISBN: 9780754630579 / Angielski / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Can the intellect or the intellectual faculty be its own object of thought, or can it not think or apprehend itself? This book explores the ancient treatments of the question of self-intellection - an important theme in ancient epistemology and of considerable interest to later philosophical thought. The manner in which the ancients dealt with the intellect apprehending itself, took them into both the metaphysical and epistemological domains with reflections on questions of thinking, identity and causality. Ian Crystal traces the origins from which the concept of self-intellection springs, by...

Humanism, Venice, and Women: Essays on the Italian Renaissance
ISBN: 9780860789321 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Originally published between 1975 and 2003, the essays included in Humanism, Venice, and Women reflect Margaret L. King's distinct but interlocking scholarly interests: humanism and Venice; women and humanism; and women of the Italian Renaissance. The first part focuses on defining the key characteristics of Venetian as opposed to other Italian humanisms, with an analysis of Gramscian theory about the historical role of intellectuals as an aid to understanding humanism in Venice, followed by essays on three Venetian humanists who wrote about family relationships (or the need to avoid them)....

The Political Mapping of Cyberspace: Cartography, Communication and Power
ISBN: 9780748614127 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is about the politics of cyberspace. It shows that cyberspace is no mere virtual reality but a rich geography of practices and power relations. Using concepts and methods derived from the work of Michel Foucault, Jeremy Crampton explores the construction of digital subjectivity, web identity and authenticity, as well as the nature and consequences of the digital divide between the connected and those abandoned in limbo. He demonstrates that it is by processes of mapping that we understand cyberspace and in doing so delineates the critical role maps play in constructing cyberspace as...

Rousseau's Theodicy of Self-Love: Evil, Rationality, and the Drive for Recognition
ISBN: 9780199592050 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is the first comprehensive study of Rousseau's rich and complex theory of the type of self-love (amour propre ) that, for him, marks the central difference between humans and the beasts. Amour propre is the passion that drives human individuals to seek the esteem, approval, admiration, or love--the recognition --of their fellow beings. Neuhouser reconstructs Rousseau's understanding of what the drive for recognition is, why it is so problematic, and how its presence opens up far-reaching developmental possibilities for creatures that possess it. One of Rousseau's central theses is...

Letters on England
ISBN: 9781612039572 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Letters on England (Lettres philosophiques) is a series of essays written by Voltaire based on his experiences living in England between 1722 and 1734. In some ways, the book can be compared with Democracy in America by Alexis De Tocqueville, in how it flatteringly explains a nation to itself from the perspective of an outsider, as Voltaire's depictions of aspects of English culture, society and government are often given favorable treatment in comparison to their French equivalents. Voltaire (Francois-Marie Arouet) was a French Enlightenment writer, historian and philosopher famous for his...
