History and Utopia
ISBN: 9781628724257 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Only a monster can allow himself the luxury of seeing things as they are," writes E. M. Cioran, the Romanian-born philosopher who has rightly been compared to Samuel Beckett. In History and Utopia, Cioran the monster writes of politics in its broadest sense, of history, and of the utopian dream. His views are, to say the least, provocative. In one essay he casts a scathing look at democracy, that "festival of mediocrity"; in another he turns his uncompromising gaze on Russia, its history, its evolution, and what he calls "the virtues of liberty." In the dark shadow of Stalin and...

The Eudaimonic Turn: Well-Being in Literary Studies
ISBN: 9781611477351 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In much of the critical discourse of the seventies, eighties, and nineties, scholars employed suspicion in order to reveal a given text's complicity with various undesirable ideologies and/or psychopathologies. Construed as such, interpretive practice was often intended to demystify texts and authors by demonstrating in them the presence of false consciousness, bourgeois values, patriarchy, orientalism, heterosexism, imperialist attitudes, and/or various neuroses, complexes, and lacks. While it proved to be of vital importance in literary studies, suspicious hermeneutics often compelled...

Nature
ISBN: 9781500164430 / Angielski / Miękka / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In "Nature," Emerson lays out an abstract problem that he attempts to solve throughout the essay: that humans do not fully accept nature's beauty and all that it has to offer. According to Emerson, people are distracted by the world around them; nature gives to humans, but humans do not reciprocate. Emerson breaks his essay into eight sections--Nature, Commodity, Beauty, Language, Discipline, Idealism, Spirit and Prospects--each of which sheds a different perspective on the relationship between humans and nature.

Par son ecriture, d'abord, qui rappelle, a bien des egards, la Bible et sa dimension allegorique mais aussi la poesie sombre sombre d'Holderlin. Par la presence du personnage de Zarathoustra ensuite, qui tient autant du Christ, par son cote prophetique, que du revolutionnaire, qui annonce le surhomme, c'est a dire celui qui veut aller au-dela des valeurs reconnues et des verites admises, sans volonte de domination. Magnifique et deroutant poeme, ce texte est a l'image de...

Francis Hutcheson: Selected Philosophical Writings
