Life Slices: A Medley of Musings After Three Score and More
ISBN: 9781496096234 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sylvia Nickels' life changed in 2011 when her husband of almost fifty-three years died after a three year battle to come back from a major stroke. Time to get back to writing, if she was ever going to do so. Thanks to Kingsport Daily News Editors Pete Dykes and his son Steve, with the beginning of the next year came the fulfillment of a dream for Sylvia, a weekly newspaper column. Hours of poring over name possibilities, searching a dictionary and a thesaurus produced only names that sounded too cute, plain stupid or pretentious. None conveyed her mental vision for the column, some nostalgia,...

Social Capital, Social Identities: From Ownership to Belonging
ISBN: 9783110292800 / Angielski / Twarda / 239 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Current research on social capital tends to focus on an economic reading of social relations. Whereas economists pride themselves on reaching out to social theory at-large, sociologists criticize the economization of the social fabric. The concept of social capital serves as a touchstone for the study of the role of the economy in modern societies. It serves as a breach for expanding the reach of economic categories, yet it also yields the opportunity for questioning and transforming economic premises in the light of social theory and philosophy. Exploring the concept of social capital in... Current research on social capital tends to focus on an economic reading of social relations. Whereas economists pride themselves on reaching out t... |

Wittgenstein, Frazer Und Die "Ethnologische Betrachtungsweise"
ISBN: 9783110370461 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 467 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wittgenstein wanted to adopt a far-distant point of view and look at philosophical problems from an ethnological perspective. Was his sharp confrontation with James Frazer s principal work, The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion, an exercise in such an ethnological point of view? In this study, Brusotti shows that Wittgenstein s thinking opened up new dimensions in language and cultural philosophy. "Wittgenstein wanted to adopt a far-distant point of view and look at philosophical problems from an ethnological perspective. Was his sharp confron... |

An unforgettable trip from the foundations of physical and biological existence to the psycho-social maladies currently undermining human prospects, "Escape from Quantopia" exposes the twin failings of science and capitalism, the double helix of the modern world. Prefigured by the deranged imperative to subsume nature and consciousness to deterministic equations, imperial America is killing the earth in the quest to dominate it.

Wittgenstein as Philosophical Tone-Poet: Philosophy and Music in Dialogue
ISBN: 9789042038578 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book provides the first in-depth exploration of the importance of music for Ludwig Wittgenstein's life and work. Wittgenstein's remarks on music are essential for understanding his philosophy: they are on the nature of musical understanding, the relation of music to language, the concepts of representation and expression, on melody, irony and aspect-perception, and, on the great composers belonging to the Austrian-German tradition. Biography and philosophy, this work suggests that Wittgenstein was a composer of philosophy who used the musical form as a blueprint for his own writing and...

Doubts and Decisions for Living: Volume I: The Foundation of Human Thoughts
ISBN: 9780978366667 / Angielski / Miękka / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Soon we should agree that humans' natural qualities do not match their common (idealistic) perception of themselves, and that this mental incongruity accounts for most of our personal and interpersonal problems. In addition, the characteristics of the environments we have gradually built around ourselves make it impossible for us to converge with either our natural or idealistic view of a human. Nevertheless, it seems as if we must face the same old cliche, 'Who are we?' even more seriously now, in order to detect the origin of our personal and social problems. Our findings would then make us...

Doubts and Decisions for Living: Volume II: The Sanctity of Human Spirit
ISBN: 9780978366674 / Angielski / Miękka / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This trilogy raises many unsettling questions about life and the dilemmas of living. We humans (our spirits in fact) seem determined to resolve all those mysteries like a sacred mission embedded in our psyche. Obviously, the main question is about the creation of this incredibly complex, yet orderly universe. We like to rely on logic and mathematics to explain this amazing phenomenon, but more crucially, understand humans' imaginary importance in the midst of this horrendous creation. To do so, we apply common sense, philosophy, psychology, theology, and other disciplines to come to terms...

We are frustrated and angry about the life we make for ourselves and the life others impose upon us, but we do not find the courage to think and behave differently. Youth, in particular, must make decisions about many life dilemmas and struggle with their torturous doubts. In addition, if they ever arrive at the intersection of wisdom paths, they must decide whether they wish to change their ways of thinking and living for transcendence to the real world. It would be by far the hardest decision that any individual faces in his/her life. That is, can s/he, and how, rid him/herself from the...
