A Cultural History of Sound, Memory and the Senses
ISBN: 9781138211773 / Angielski / Twarda / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The past 20 years have witnessed a turn towards the sensuous, particularly the aural, as a viable space for critical exploration in History and other Humanities disciplines. This has been informed by a heightened awareness of the role that the senses play in shaping modern identity and understanding of place; and increasingly, how the senses are central to the memory of past experiences and their representation. The result has been a broadening of our historical imagination, which has previously taken the visual for granted and ignored the other senses. Considering how crucial the auditory...

A Little Book for New Philosophers: Why and How to Study Philosophy
ISBN: 9780830851478 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What's the point of studying philosophy when we have theology? Is philosophy anything more than a preparation for apologetics? Often called "theology's handmaid," philosophy has sometimes suffered from an inferiority complex in the church. Many Christians see little point in it at all. But as Paul Copan contends, it is possible to affirm theology's preeminence without diminishing the value and contribution of philosophy. InA Little Book for New Philosophers, Copan offers a concise introduction to the study of philosophy. Aimed at newcomers, this brief overview is both a survey of...

Order of Buildings and Cities: A Paradigm of Open Systems Evolution for Sustainable Design
ISBN: 9783034306218 / Angielski / Miękka / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The assumption of an environmental crisis, global warming and climate change, has put into question the viability of modern development patterns in industrialised societies. This pattern is characterised by excessive exploitation of energy and resources without concern for negative impact upon the natural ecosystem. One of the primary challenges to sustainable development is identified as the dilemma between long term economic development and environmental damage. Influenced by this pattern, modern design of buildings and cites contributes to environmental degradation.

Steven Ravett Brown makes an important contribution to the field of naturalized phenomenology by developing a -structural phenomenology- model based on contemporary studies of gestalts and attention. This model clearly and explicitly brings scientific data to bear upon the nature of conscious experience. Synthesizing empirical data from several fields, Brown provides a phenomenological analysis of structural components of intentionality, a reconsideration of functional processes of gestalts, and a reformulation and indepth...

«What Is Literature?»
ISBN: 9783039109166 / Angielski / Miękka / 530 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The answer to the question 'what is literature?' has not been found. This is the first book-length attempt to find the answer, by one author, since Sartre in his 1948 book with the same title. The book addresses issues such as: how does literature speak to the world; what is great writing; what is originality; what sorts of truths are there, if any, in creative writing? The book uses hundreds of literary examples, and confronts them with philosophy. The book also explores some big questions about the meaning of life, and sets them against a range of literature. It asks questions like: how...

The Logic of Cultures: Three Structures of Philosophical Thought
ISBN: 9783034303781 / Angielski / Miękka / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book proposes to identify three long-term structures in causal reasoning in particular, in terms of the relationship between cause and identity that appear to be of value in categorizing and organizing various trends in philosophical thought.
Such conceptual schemes involve a host of philosophical dilemmas (such as the problem of relativism), which are examined in the first chapter. A number of naturalistic and transcendental approaches to this problem are also analysed. In particular, the book attempts to construct a theoretical basis for Foucault s tripartite classification of...

Home: A Bachelardian Concrete Metaphysics

This book examines the notion of the homely which rests at the foundation of Gaston Bachelard s concrete metaphysics. In order to trace the development of this effaced notion through the history of contemporary Continental philosophy and literature, this study progresses along two distinct arcs. One is presented in a traditional chronological fashion whereby the reader is invited to dig down into the enormous chasm set forth in Martin Heidegger s writing and its reception; become lost in Mark Danielewski s House of Leaves; climb out from this labyrinth into the maternal home; and,...

Philosophical Essays: Critic Rationalism as Historical-Objective Transcendentalism- Edited by Fabio Minazzi- Translation from Italian by Ric

These Philosophical Essays by Giulio Preti explore, with particular acuteness and originality, some of the major problems addressed by contemporary philosophy. Preti s objective was to outline a -scientific- philosophy capable of embodying the rigour and concern for the factual found in scientific procedure.
His analysis engaged with the complex tradition of logical empiricism and he also devoted attention to pragmatism and the philosophy of praxis in early Marx. Preti succeeded in establishing a dialogue with these traditions of thought while also considering both Husserl s...

Knowing God by Name: A Conversation Between Elizabeth A. Johnson and Karl Barth
ISBN: 9780820478630 / Angielski / Miękka / 291 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Does women s experience matter for theological inquiry? Elizabeth Johnson s premise is that it does, and that the failure of traditional Trinitarian doctrine to account for women s relationality results in a too radical distinction between God and the world. Drawing on feminist ethics and God-talk, transcendental experience, and panentheistic Trinitarian theology, she constructs an alternative relational ontology and Trinitarian female symbol. Is her integration of these multiple systems viable? More importantly, can divine and human freedom, distinction and personhood be upheld within...

Continuity, Quantum, Continuum, and Dialectic
ISBN: 9780820463988 / Angielski / Twarda / 497 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Continuity, quantum, continuum, and dialectic are foundational logics of Western historical thought. The historiographical method to discern them is a critique of historical reason. Through stylistics Mark E. Blum demonstrates how the inner temporal experience of the person shapes both judgment and historical action. Blum s work augments the epistemology of Immanuel Kant, Wilhelm Dilthey, and Edmund Husserl. Studies of significant persons from Shakespeare through the Framers of the American Constitution, as well as contemporary adolescents, illustrate the intergenerational presence of these...

Dialogues Concerning Natural Numbers

Dialogues Concerning Natural Numbers advances a thesis made several years ago by Rudolph Carnap: The sentence -There are numbers- is a trivial truth if construed as an assertion from within mathematics. As such it cannot possibly divide philosophers of mathematics. It lacks sense if construed as an assertion outside of mathematics. Unfortunately, the truth and importance of Carnap s thesis has not been fully appreciated by philosophers of mathematics. The six dialogues that compose Dialogues Concerning Natural Numbers were formed to bring attention and praise to Carnap s...

Der Deutsche Idealismus war und ist eine der wirkungsmachtigsten Ideenkonstellationen in der Geschichte der Philosophie nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil er Idealismus in praktischer Absicht war und auf geschichtlichen Fortschritt zielte. Er hat seine wesentlichen Quellen in der deutschen Kulturgeschichte. Ihn jedoch als ein vorrangig nationalgeschichtliches Phanomen zu behandeln, wurde zu kurz greifen. Transnational haben kulturelle Traditionen und Zukunftsperspektiven bei seiner Rezeption eine grosse Rolle gespielt und ihm jeweils ein besonderes Profil verliehen. Berucksichtigt man auch die...

Unmittelbarkeit bezeichnet in der philosophischen Tradition etwas, was keiner weiteren erklarenden Begrundung bedarf und sich von selbst versteht, also unmittelbar einleuchtet. Dialektisches Denken bricht diese Selbstverstandlichkeiten auf, indem es auch die Kategorie der Unmittelbarkeit vermittelt; die dialektische Kritik der Unmittelbarkeit ist Aufklarung im Begriff, die das Gegebene nicht fraglos hinnimmt. Dies wird im Ruckgang auf die Geschichte des Begriffs dargelegt. Ihren Wendepunkt hat diese Geschichte bei Hegel, der den Schein der Unmittelbarkeit aufzeigt, indem er Unmittelbarkeit...
