Hermeneutics and Social Science (Routledge Revivals): Approaches to Understanding
ISBN: 9780415582728 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Originally in 1978, this important work, by one of the leading European social theorists, is arguably the best introduction to the hermeneutic tradition as a whole. It is designed to help students of sociology and philosophy place the problems of "understanding social science" in their historical and philosophical context. It does so by presenting the major current in sociological thought as responses to the challenge of hermeneutics. The idea that true knowledge of social life can be attained only if human conduct is seen as meaningful action whose meaning is accordingly grasped has been...

Of Divine Warning: Disaster in a Modern Age
ISBN: 9781594515392 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book offers a theory of disaster in modern and contemporary society and its impact on the construction of social and political life. The theory is premised upon what the authors call "the sign continuum," where disaster spreads across society through efforts to evade social responsibility for its causes and consequences. Phenomena generated by such efforts include the social manifestation of monstrosity (disastrous people and other forms of living things) and an emerging antipolitics in an effort to assert rule and order. A crucial development is the attack on speech, a fundamental...

The Price of Truth: Gift, Money, and Philosophy
ISBN: 9780804760812 / Angielski / Twarda / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Can exchange bring us together? Are there any physical or intangible goods that escape the logic of the marketplace? Is there a relationship between truth--the very purpose of philosophy--and money? Does truth have a price? Contrary to the Sophists, who demanded payment in return for their expertise, Socrates spoke for free. He had to do so, according to Aristotle, because knowledge cannot be measured--though he could accept gifts in return. Today, we expect artists and intellectuals to be compensated for their labors. But is giving merely a form of exchange that was replaced by commerce?...

ISBN: 9781439267745 / Angielski / Miękka / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Explaining the most fundamental processes of modern social behavior isn't the province of the Ivy League intellectuals alone, as this book clearly demonstrates. The current challenges of modern social philosophy are examined so that the true causes and effects of human behavior are unraveled from a completely novel perspective. Religious inclinations, political thought, sexuality, racism and other hot-button themes that underpin the fragile foundation of modern civilization, are discussed with an in-depth look at the facts, that will lead to a deeper understanding of these important social...

Licensing Parents: Family, State, and Child Maltreatment
ISBN: 9780739129142 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Licensing Parents, Michael McFall argues that political structures, economics, education, racism, and sexism are secondary in importance to the inequality caused by families, and that the family plays the primary role in a child's acquisition of a sense of justice. He demonstrates that examination of the family is necessary in political philosophy and that informal structures (families) and considerations (character formation) must be taken seriously. McFall advocates a threshold that should be accepted by all political philosophers: children should not be severely abused or neglected...

The Practical Anarchist: Writings of Josiah Warren
ISBN: 9780823233700 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Practical Anarchist brings to light the work of Josiah Warren, eccentric American genius.

Immediacy and Its Limits (Routledge Revivals): A Study in Martin Buber's Thought
ISBN: 9780415570480 / Angielski / Miękka / 118 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1991, this book focuses on a major problem in the philosophy of Martin Buber. This is the topic of immediacy which is presented in terms of the contact between human beings on the one hand, and man and God on the other. The basic theme throughout is whether the I-Thou relation refers to immediate contact between human beings, as Buber saw it, or whether that relation is something established or aspired to. This is an important study which should be consulted in any future discussion of Martin Buber's thought. At the same time, it raises critical issues for recent...

More Than Matter?: Is There More to Life Than Molecules?
ISBN: 9780802866608 / Angielski / Miękka / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Distinguished philosopher Keith Ward here weighs in on what are perhaps the greatest metaphysical quandaries of our time: is the human mind merely an intricate mass of nerve cells and synapses, or is it something more? Are human beings simply -accidental results of millions of genetic copying-mistakes and freak accidents of nature, - or is there actually something deeper and more sublime at the heart of both material reality and human existence? Using philosophical and metaphysical reflections -- rather than religious considerations -- Ward argues, winsomely and intelligently, that human...
