ISBN: 9780195374728 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. C.S. Lewis's celebrated Space Trilogy - Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength - was completed over sixty years ago and has remained in print ever since.

ISBN: 9780195326604 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For the past twenty years, evangelical prophecy novels have been a powerful presence on American bestseller lists.

The History of the Buddha's Relic Shrine: A Translation of the Sinhala Thūpavaṃsa
ISBN: 9780195301397 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Buddhist chronicles have long been had a central place in the study of Buddhism. Scholars, however, have relied almost exclusively on Pali works that were composed by elites for learned audiences, to the neglect of a large number of Buddhist histories written in local languages for popular consumption. The Sinhala Th?pavamsa, composed by Parakama Pandita in thirteenth-century Sri Lanka, is an important example of a Buddhist chronicle written in the vernacular Sinhala language. Furthermore, it is among those works that inform public discussion and debate over the place of Buddhism in the Sri...

The Normative Web: An Argument for Moral Realism
ISBN: 9780199581382 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Antirealist views about morality claim that moral facts or truths do not exist. Does this imply that other types of normative facts, such as epistemic facts, do not exist? The Normative Web develops a positive answer to this question. Terence Cuneo argues that moral and epistemic facts are sufficiently similar so that, if moral facts do not exist, then epistemic facts do not exist. But epistemic facts do exist: to deny their existence would commit us to an extreme version of epistemological scepticism. Therefore, Cuneo concludes, moral facts do exist. And if moral facts exist, then moral...

The Creative Suffering of the Triune God: An Evolutionary Theology
ISBN: 9780195329124 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The global reality of suffering and death has always demanded an authentic theological response and impelled debate concerning Gods relationship to suffering, as well as the conceivability of the suffering of God. The scope and impact of this suffering in the last century have driven this debate to an acute pitch, demanding to know how one can speak rightly of God in view of the suffering that is inherent and inflicted in the cosmos. While in former ages, some looked to an omnipotent and impassible deus ex machina in answer to this question, many contemporary theologians have revised their...

Hope in a Democratic Age: Philosophy, Religion, and Political Theory
ISBN: 9780199297153 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How and why should hope play a key role in a twenty-first century democratic politics? Alan Mittleman offers a philosophical exploration of the theme, contending that a modern construction of hope as an emotion is deficient. He revives the medieval understanding of hope as a virtue, reconstructing this in a contemporary philosophical idiom. In this framework, hope is less a spontaneous reaction than it is a choice against despair; a decision to live with confidence and expectation, based on a rational assessment of possibility and a faith in the underlying goodness of life. In cultures shaped...

God and Grace of Body: Sacrament in Ordinary
ISBN: 9780199231829 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. David Brown explores the ways in which the symbolic associations of the body and what we do with it have helped shape religious experience and continue to do so. A Church narrowly focused on Christ's body wracked in pain needs to be reminded that the body as beautiful and sexual has also played a crucial role not only in other religions but also in the history of Christianity itself. Dance was one way in which the connection was expressed. The irony is not that such a connection has gone but that it now exists almost wholly outside the Church. Much the same could be said about music more...

Self-Knowing Agents
ISBN: 9780199261482 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Lucy O'Brien argues that a satisfactory account of first-person reference and self-knowledge needs to concentrate on our nature as agents. She considers two main questions. First, what account of first-person reference can we give that respects the guaranteed nature of such reference? Second, what account can we give of our knowledge of our mental and physical actions? Clearly written, with rigorous discussion of rival views, this book will be of interest to anyone working in the philosophy of mind and action.

This is the first volume in a complete history of the documentation of English cant and slang from 1567 to the present.

Faith and the Presidency from George Washington to George W. Bush
ISBN: 9780195300604 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 680 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the wake of the 2004 election, pundits were shocked at exit polling that showed that 22% of voters thought 'moral values' was the most important issue at stake. People on both sides of the political divide believed this was the key to victory for George W. Bush, who professes a deep and abiding faith in God. While some fervent Bush supporters see him as a man chosen by God for the White House, opponents see his overt commitment to Christianity as a dangerous and unprecedented bridging of the gap between church and state. In fact, Gary Scott Smith shows, none of this is new. Religion...

In recent decades, Christianity has acquired millions of new adherents in Africa, the region with the world's fastest-expanding population.

In the pre-industrial societies of early modern Europe, religion was a vessel of fundamental importance in making sense of personal and collective social, cultural and spiritual exercises.

Genetically Modified Planet: Environmental Impacts of Genetically Engineered Plants
ISBN: 9780195157451 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Genetically modified plants are currently causing controversy worldwide; a great deal has been written about their supposed environmental effects. However, the newspaper headlines and public debates often provide a level of reasoning akin to "this is your brain on genetically modified corn," which is to say, they exclude or exaggerate the actual scientific research on the impacts of these plants. Genetically Modified Planet goes beyond the rhetoric to investigate for concerned consumers the actual state of scientific research on genetically modified plants. Stewart argues that while...

Reverence for Life: Albert Schweitzer's Great Contribution to Ethical Thought
ISBN: 9780195329551 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Albert Schweitzer maintained that the idea of "Reverence for Life" came upon him on the Ogowe River as an "unexpected discovery, like a revelation in the midst of intense thought." While Schweitzer made numerous significant contributions to an incredible diversity of fields - medicine, music, biblical studies, philosophy and theology - he regarded Reverence for Life as his greatest contribution and the one by which he most wanted to be remembered. Yet this concept has been the subject of a range of distortions and misunderstandings, both academic and popular. In this book, Ara Barsam provides...
