Toward a Female Genealogy of Transcendentalism
ISBN: 9780820346779 / Angielski / Miękka / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Traditional histories of the American transcendentalist movement begin in Ralph Waldo Emerson s terms: describing a rejection of college books and church pulpits in favor of the individual power of Man Thinking. This essay collection asks how women who lacked the privileges of both college and clergy rose to thought. For them, reading alone and conversing together were the primary means of growth, necessarily in private and informal spaces both overlapping with those of the men and apart from them. But these were means to achieving literary, aesthetic, and political authority indeed, to...

ISBN: 9783319394190 / Angielski / Twarda / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book introduces and studies a number of stochastic models of subsistence, communication, social evolution and political transition that will allow the reader to grasp the role of uncertainty as a fundamental property of our irreversible world.

Bridging Complexity and Post-Structuralism: Insights and Implications
ISBN: 9783319390451 / Angielski / Twarda / 205 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This work addresses the topic of philosophical complexity, which shares certain assumptions with scientific complexity, cybernetics, and General Systems Theory, but which is also developing as a subject field in its own right.
Specifically, the post-structural reading of philosophical complexity that was pioneered by Paul Cilliers is further developed in this study. To this end, the ideas of a number of contemporary French post-structural theorists and their predecessors - including Derrida, Nancy, Bataille, Levinas, Foucault, Saussure, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Hegel - are introduced. The... This work addresses the topic of philosophical complexity, which shares certain assumptions with scientific complexity, cybernetics, and General Syste...

Dialectical Theory of Meaning
ISBN: 9789400962583 / Angielski / Miękka / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This prize monograph was a pioneering work among Marxist philosophers, East and West, twenty-five years ago. To our mind, the work would have been received with respect and pleasure by philosophers of many viewpoints if it had been known abroad then. Now, revised for this English-language editiJn by our dear and honored colleague Mihailo Markovic, it is still admirable, still the insightful and stimulating accomplishment of a pioneering philosophical and scientific mind, still resonating to the three themes of technical mastery, humane purpose, political critique. Markovic has always worked...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) system reflected in Saussure's linguistic theory, and so influential in the great progress linguistic theory has made in this century. Indeed, Granger sees linguistic theory as expressing a paradigm for scientific theorizing, which research in other social sciences should adopt. But 'structuralism' as a method in science does not, in Granger's view, begin with Saussure and the linguists. It is nothing less than the strategy of all the sciences, both natural and social, since their beginnings. Now, 'structuralism' is a 'trendy' term no less in Anglophone methodology than in Francophone...

Concept Formation in the Humanities and the Social Sciences
ISBN: 9789400990210 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Uniqueness of style versus plurality of styles: in terms of these aesthetic categories one of the most important differences between the recent past and the present can be described. This difference manifests itself in all spheres of life - in fashion, in everyday life, in the arts, in science. What is of interest for my purposes in this book are its manifestations in the processes of con cept formation as they occur in the humanities, broadly conceived. Here the following methodological approaches seem to dominate the scene. 1. A tendency to apply semiotic concepts in various fields of...

ISBN: 9789400998247 / Angielski / Miękka / 275 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Srihar~a is recognised as one of the greatest exponents of what is generally known as the Sarpkara school of Advaita Vedanta. The Advaita Vedanta of Sarpkara has been commented upon, explained, expounded and developed in its various ramifications by several generations of scholars, commentators and original thinkers for over a thousand years. Even today it is claimed to be one of the two traditional schools of Indian Philosophy which have survived and have modern adherents while most other schools have died of old age on Indian soil. The only other school that has survived is the...

Style, Politics and the Future of Philosophy
ISBN: 9789401075084 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Why did the two most influential philosophers in the twentieth century, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Martin Heidegger, write in such a curious fashion that they confused a whole generation of disciples and created a cottage industry for a second generation in the interpretation of their works? Do those curious writing strategies have a philosophical signif- icance? How does philosophical style reflect attitudes to society and politics or bear significance for the social sciences? Is politics one type of human activity among many other independent ones as the classical modem political theorists...

Dignaga on the Interpretation of Signs

E. took an important tum away from the traditional methods of explaining and systematizing the teachings in Siitra literature that were attributed to the Buddha. The new direction in which several Indian Buddhist philosophers began to move was that of following reasoning to its natural conclusions, regardless whether the conclusions conflicted with traditional teachings. The central figure in this new movement was DiIinaga, a native of South India who found his way to the centre of Buddhist education at Nalanda, studied the treatises...

Bhartṛhari and the Buddhists: An Essay in the Development of Fifth and Sixth Century Indian Thought
ISBN: 9789401085748 / Angielski / Miękka / 253 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Viikyapadiya of Bhartrhari and the Pramii1Jasamuccaya of Dignaga are seminal texts in the history of ancient Indian philosophy. One text deals with grammar, the other with logic, both are the work of committed metaphysicians. Written within a span of less than a hundred years, between the fifth and the sixth centuries A.D., these texts have generally been treated separately, as representing independent schools of thought. This essay attempts to interpret these texts jointly, as a dialogue between a grammarian and a logician. This way of approaching these texts highlights unexpected facets...

Sociology Faces Pessimism: A Study of European Sociological Thought Amidst a Fading Optimism
ISBN: 9789401503198 / Angielski / Miękka / 173 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) My initial interest in sociology stemmed from the desire to see specific social change in certain areas of my native United States of America. My rather naive assumption at that time was that if the truth is known about social phenomena and presented to rational and educated persons, public opinion will bring about the desirable social change. That is, I assumed some automatic linkage between truth, rationality and social progress. Certainly some of the so-called "pioneers" of sociology also assumed this automatic linkage. Thus, the opportunity to study in Europe, on the soil of some of these...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) How did writers understand the soul in late seventeenth-century England?

Nāgārjuna's Twelve Gate Treatise: Translated with Introductory Essays, Comments, and Notes
ISBN: 9789400977778 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) MADHYAMIKA The hallmark of Miidhyamika philosophy is 'Emptiness', sunyata. This is not a view of reality. In fact it is emphatically denied that sunyata is a view of reality. If anybody falls into such an error as to construe emptiness as reality (or as a view, even the right view, of reality), he is only grasping the snake at the wrong end (Mk, 24.1 I) Nftgfujuna in Mk, 24.18, has referred to at least four ways by which the same truth is conveyed: Whatever is dependent origination, we call it emptiness. That is (also) dependent conceptualization; that is, to be sure, the Middle Way. The two...

Mao Tse-Tung's Theory of Dialectic
ISBN: 9789400983915 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The year 1979 ushered in a new phase in China's long and continuous revolu tion. Currently, this new phase is being symbolically referred to, by the Chinese leaders themselves, as the 'New Long March' (a continuation of the legendary and historical Long March) in terms of modernization, which comprises the Four Modernizations: Agriculture, Industry, Science and Technology, and Military Defense. Such an all-encompassing attempt at modernization may appear, to some at least, to be something new, or may indicate a radical shift in her policy. But upon closer examination, this decision seems only...
