ISBN: 9781501768224 / Angielski / Miękka / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) For many eighteenth-century European philosophers and writers, the beautiful soul was a symbol of enlightened humanity, carrying with it the possibility that aesthetic beauty and moral goodness would be fused in a new, indivisible unity. In the first book in English on the subject, Robert E. Norton follows the fortunes of this cultural icon, exploring the reasons for both its initial popularity and its subsequent decline as a cultural ideal during the Enlightenment.

Philosophical Semiotics: The Coming Into Being of the World of Meaning
ISBN: 9789811930560 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book attempts to solve the question whether semiotics is a methodology as is generally held and if the studies of meaning and the mind can shed light on a series of metaphysical issues, so that the edifice of semiotics could be erected on a philosophical ground. It proposes that a philosophical semiotics is, by necessity, a semiotic phenomenology about the construction of the “world of meaning” by signs, and any discussion about semiotics has to proceed around two core issues: meaning and the mind. This book particularly exemplifies the semiotic connections in various...

ISBN: 9783031204043 / Angielski / Twarda / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book addresses the urgent need for a large and systematic analysis of current interdisciplinary (ID) research and practice.

Ways of Being Bound: Perspectives from post-Kantian Philosophy and Relational Sociology
ISBN: 9783031114687 / Angielski / Twarda / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book addresses the topic of 'being bound' from a philosophical and a sociological perspective. It examines several ways in which we are bound. We are bound to acknowledge the truth and to follow laws; we are bound to others and to the world. Who we are is partly defined by those bonds, regardless of whether we live up to them – or even of whether we acknowledge them. Puzzling questions arise from the fact that we are bound, such as: How are those bonds binding? Wherein lies their normative character? A venerable philosophical tradition, particularly since Kant, has provided an account...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Many scholars have struggled with Irigaray’s focus on sexuate difference, in particular with her claim that it is “ontological,” wondering if this implies a problematically naïve or essentialist account of sexuate difference.
