Volume 1
ISBN: 9783110330137 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What is an image? How can we describe the experience of looking at images, and how do they become meaningful to us? In what sense are images like or unlike propositions? Participants of the 33rd International Wittgenstein Symposium--philosophers as well as historians of art, science, and literature--provide many stimulating answers. Some of the contributions are dedicated to Wittgenstein's thoughts on images while others testify to the important role notions coined or inspired by Wittgenstein--"seeing as," "picture games" and the dichotomy of "saying and showing"--play in the field of...

Freedom's Right: The Social Foundations of Democratic Life
ISBN: 9780231162463 / Angielski / Twarda / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Theories of justice often fixate on purely normative, abstract principles unrelated to real-world situations. The philosopher and theorist Axel Honneth addresses this disconnect, and constructs a theory of justice derived from the normative claims of Western liberal-democratic societies and anchored in morally legitimate laws and institutionally established practices. Honneth's paradigm--which he terms "a democratic ethical life"--draws on the spirit of Hegel's "Philosophy of Right" and his own theory of recognition, demonstrating how concrete social spheres generate the principles of...

[Set Moore, Ausgewählte Schriften]
ISBN: 9783110335309 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 1000 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. George Edward Moore (1873 - 1958) gehort mit Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein und ihren Vorlaufern Bernard Bolzano, Franz Brentano und Alexius Meinong zu den Begrundern der analytischen Philosophie. Wahrend die anderen genannten Philosophen auch in Deutschland stets groe Beachtung gefunden haben, war dies bei G.E. Moore nicht der Fall. Dies ist um so erstaunlicher als Moore in einem ganz besonders gut verstandlichen Stil schreibt und seine Philosophie stets vom common sense ihren Ausgang nimmt. Die historischen Grundlagen der Philosophie G.E. Moores liegen im englischen Empirismus und...

Philosophy Outside-In: A Critique of Academic Reason
ISBN: 9780748684557 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Christopher Norris raises some basic questions about the way that analytic philosophy has been conducted over the past 25 years. In doing so, he offers an alternative to what he sees as an over-specialisation of a lot of recent academic work. Arguing that analytic philosophy has led to a narrowing of sights to the point where other approaches that might be more productive are blocked from view, he goes against the grain to claim that Continental philosophy holds the resources for a creative renewal of analytic thought.

Animal Rights and Moral Philosophy
ISBN: 9780231134231 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Animals obviously cannot have a right of free speech or a right to vote because they lack the relevant capacities. But their right to life and to be free of exploitation is no less fundamental than the corresponding right of humans, writes Julian H. Franklin. This theoretically rigorous book will reassure the committed, help the uncertain to decide, and arm the polemicist. Franklin examines all the major arguments for animal rights proposed to date and extends the philosophy in new directions. Animal Rights and Moral Philosophy begins by considering the utilitarian argument of...

Relativism: A Contemporary Anthology
ISBN: 9780231144117 / Angielski / Miękka / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The thirty-three essays in Relativism: A Contemporary Anthology grapple with one of the most intriguing, enduring, and far-reaching philosophical problems of our age. Relativism comes in many varieties. It is often defined as the belief that truth, goodness, or beauty is relative to some context or reference frame, and that no absolute standards can adjudicate between competing reference frames. Michael Krausz's anthology captures the significance and range of relativistic doctrines, rehearsing their virtues and vices and reflecting on a spectrum of attitudes. Invoking diverse...

Levinas and the Cinema of Redemption: Time, Ethics, and the Feminine
ISBN: 9780231147651 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In his philosophy of ethics and time, Emmanuel Levinas highlighted the tension that exists between the "ontological adventure" of immediate experience and the "ethical adventure" of redemptive relationships-associations in which absolute responsibility engenders a transcendence of being and self. In an original commingling of philosophy and cinema study, Sam B. Girgus applies Levinas's ethics to a variety of international films. His efforts point to a transnational pattern he terms the "cinema of redemption" that portrays the struggle to connect to others in redeeming ways. Girgus not...

Anatheism: Returning to God After God
ISBN: 9780231147897 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Has the passing of the old God paved the way for a new kind of religious project, a more responsible way to seek, sound, and love the things we call divine? Has the suspension of dogmatic certainties and presumptions opened a space in which we can encounter religious wonder anew? Situated at the split between theism and atheism, we now have the opportunity to respond in deeper, freer ways to things we cannot fathom or prove. Distinguished philosopher Richard Kearney calls this condition ana-theos, or God after God-a moment of creative "not knowing" that signifies a break with...

Social Acceleration: A New Theory of Modernity
ISBN: 9780231148344 / Angielski / Twarda / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Hartmut Rosa advances an account of the temporal structure of society from the perspective of critical theory. He identifies three categories of change in the tempo of modern social life: technological acceleration, evident in transportation, communication, and production; the acceleration of social change, reflected in cultural knowledge, social institutions, and personal relationships; and acceleration in the pace of life, which happens despite the expectation that technological change should increase an individual's free time.

Nomadic Theory: The Portable Rosi Braidotti
ISBN: 9780231151900 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rosi Braidotti's nomadic theory outlines a sustainable modern subjectivity as one in flux, never opposed to a dominant hierarchy yet intrinsically other, always in the process of becoming, and perpetually engaged in dynamic power relations both creative and restrictive. Nomadic theory offers an original and powerful alternative for scholars working in cultural and social criticism and has, over the past decade, crept into continental philosophy, queer theory, and feminist, postcolonial, techno-science, media, and race studies, as well as into architecture, history, and anthropology. This...

The Responsibility of the Philosopher
ISBN: 9780231152433 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the course of his career, Gianni Vattimo has assumed a number of public and private identities and has pursued multiple intellectual paths. He seems to embody several contradictions, at once defending and questioning religion and critiquing and serving the state. Yet the diversity of his life and thought form the very essence of, as he sees it, the vocation and responsibility of the philosopher. In a world that desires quantifiable results and ideological expediency, the philosopher becomes the vital interpreter of the endlessly complex. As he outlines his ideas about the...

Peter Sloterdijk turns his keen eye to the history of western thought, conducting colorful readings of the lives and ideas of the world's most influential intellectuals. Featuring nineteen vignettes rich in personal characterizations and theoretical analysis, Sloterdijk's companionable volume casts the development of philosophical thinking not as a buildup of compelling books and arguments but as a lifelong, intimate struggle with intellectual and spiritual movements, filled with as many pitfalls and derailments as transcendent breakthroughs. Sloterdijk delves into the work and times of...

A Materialism for the Masses: Saint Paul and the Philosophy of Undying Life
ISBN: 9780231166904 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nietzsche and Freud saw Christianity as metaphysical escapism, with Nietzsche calling the religion a "Platonism for the masses" and faulting Paul the apostle for negating more immanent, material modes of thought and political solidarity. Integrating this debate with the philosophies of difference espoused by Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Jacques Lacan, and Pier Paolo Pasolini, Ward Blanton argues that genealogical interventions into the political economies of Western cultural memory do not go far enough in relation to the imagined founder of Christianity. Blanton...
