Post-Popperian Methodology of Economics: Recovering Practice
ISBN: 9789401053075 / Angielski / Miękka / 383 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9789400736436 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rational thought according to Levinas has the merit of making the world lucid and controllable. But at the same time it strips things and people of their identity and incorporates them in a homogenized rational order. Illusory, but nonetheless oppressive. Rationality's totalitarian character can provoke resistance and grief with people who are enlisted by it. This can lead to a shameful confrontation in which the thinker is being confronted with his victim's resistance and sees himself and his thinking made questionable. By proceeding along this route, thinking can be brought to... Rational thought according to Levinas has the merit of making the world lucid and controllable.

This unsettled, unsettling status has recently induced the philosopher Alain Badiou to characterise psychoanalysis as an 'antiphilosophy', that is, as a practice that issues the strongest possible...
