ISBN: 9780231178280 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Philosophy and anthropology have long debated questions of difference: rationality versus irrationality, abstraction versus concreteness, modern versus premodern.

Qualitative Research: A Reader in Philosophy, Core Concepts, and Practice
ISBN: 9781433104732 / Angielski / Twarda / 521 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We conceived of this book with the idea that critical explorations into the key philosophical issues in qualitative research could throw light on distortions, power relations, hidden assumptions and possibilities within the field, and could ultimately provide the groundwork for needed change and new directions. We wanted to do this with rigor, getting underneath the contemporary divisions in qualitative research, first building up philosophy and core concepts and then returning to specific practices in qualitative research. The book, in a way, then, is a statement of hope.

ISBN: 9780992373405 / Angielski / Miękka / 1 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This novel conception of philosophy aims to re-establish philosophy's 'field' as a humanly indispensable enterprise autonomous from, but related to, other such areas as religion, science, and art....

Rhetoric
ISBN: 9781494451776 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rhetoric is one of the most famous works by one of the most famous philosophers in history. Aristotle was one of Ancient Greece's seminal thinkers, a student of Plato's and a tutor of Alexander the Great's.
Although Rhetoric seems to be a compilation of notes taken by Aristotle's students, presumably during his lectures, Aristotle is still credited as the author of the work, and he's considered the first philosopher to teach about the art of persuasion. For the reason, he's often considered the first individual to truly study it. Rhetoric is one of the most famous works by one of the most famous philosophers in history.

MacIntyre's project, here as elsewhere, is to put up a fight against philosophical relativism. . . . The current form is the 'incommensurability, ' so-called, of differing standpoints or conceptual schemes.

Reading between the lines, one can see that he has in mind nationalities as well as thinkers, and literary criticism as well as academic philosophy. More explicitly, he labels and discusses three significantly different standpoints: the...

Philosophy for Non-Philosophers
ISBN: 9781472592019 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1980, at the end of the most intensely political period of his work and life, Louis Althusser penned Philosophy for Non-philosophers. Available here for the first time in English, Philosophy for Non-philosophers constitutes a rigorous and engaged attempt to address a wide reading public unfamiliar with Althusser's project. As such, the work is a concentration of the most fundamental theses of Althusser's own ideas, and presents a synthesis of his sprawling and disparate philosophical and political writings. Nowhere else does Althusser push the distinction between... In 1980, at the end of the most intensely political period of his work and life, Louis Althusser penned Philosophy for Non-philosophers.
