ISBN: 9780195119169 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Love's Grateful Striving: A Commentary on Kierkegaard's Works of Love
ISBN: 9780195130256 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Soren Kierkegaard's Works of Love (1847), a series of deliberations on the commandment to love one's neighbor, has often been condemned by critics.

Ferreira also argues that Works of Love bears on issues peculiar to a religious ethic, such as the role of...

The Kantian Sublime: From Morality to Art

Crowther's arguments center on the links which Kant makes between morality and...
