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.

Along with Plato and Socrates, Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) is one of the triumvirate of philosophers responsible for the establishment of Western philosophy as it exists today.

These teachings and practices formed the foundation for philosophy and psychology as fields of study. In Topics, part of Aristotle's six-work Organon, Aristotle discusses the art of dialectic, or the discovery of arguments in which propositions are based on common beliefs. Aristotle's...

ISBN: 9780715623374 / Angielski / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 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. Mr. MacIntyre claims that different schools of philosophy must differ fundamentally about what counts as a rational way to settle intellectual differences. 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.

Paradigms for a Metaphorology
ISBN: 9781501704352 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Paradigms for a Metaphorology may be read as a kind of beginner's guide to Blumenberg, a programmatic introduction to his vast and multifaceted oeuvre. Its brevity makes it an ideal point of entry for readers daunted by the sheer bulk of Blumenberg's later writings, or distracted by their profusion of historical detail. Paradigms expresses many of Blumenberg's key ideas with a directness, concision, and clarity he would rarely match elsewhere. What is more, because it served as a beginner s guide for its author as well, allowing him to undertake an initial survey of...

ISBN: 9783631669846 / Angielski / Twarda / 429 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The author applies Umberto Eco's literary theory of the open work to the perennial problem of the literary macrostructure of the Apocalypse. Revisiting the complexities of its genre, intertextuality, language and communication, he cumulatively traces all indications of literary openness in Revelation. Then the book discusses the extraordinarily diverse scholarly approaches and analyses from this viewpoint. As a result, John's multiple and varied structural signals are recognised as demonstrably clustered within specific subsections - complex transitions creating a specifically open literary...
