Three Rival Versions of Moral Enquiry: Encyclopaedia, Genealogy and Tradition
ISBN: 9780715623374 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. MacIntyre's project, here as elsewhere, is to put up a fight against philosophical relativism. . . . The current form is the 'incommensurability, ' so-called, of differing standpoints or conceptual schemes. Mr. MacIntyre claims that different schools of philosophy must differ fundamentally about what counts as a rational way to settle intellectual differences. Reading between the lines, one can see that he has in mind nationalities as well as thinkers, and literary criticism as well as academic philosophy. More explicitly, he labels and discusses three significantly different standpoints: the...

The Unconscious: A Conceptual Analysis
ISBN: 9780415333047 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Unconscious: a Conceptual Analysis is an important and clearly written philosophical inquiry into the fundamental concept of psychoanalysis: the unconscious. Alasdair MacIntyre argues that Freud's conception of the unconscious is complicated by his tendency to use the term in two different ways. MacIntyre shows how Freud uses the term 'unconscious' both as a straightforward description of psychological phenomena, and as a theoretical notion to explain the links between childhood events and adult behaviour. This clarification helps to shed light on the many misunderstandings of...

First Principles, Finals Ends, and Contemporary Philosophical Issues
ISBN: 9780874621570 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This lecture is MacIntyre's most explicit defense of his approach to Thomistic metaphysics. This lecture follows MacIntyre's argument in After Virtue that modern philosophy has very literally lost its way, and the problems it faces are insoluble. The difficulties are twofold, and stem from the Cartesian turn to the self in the XVith century. Modern philosophy cannot reestablish contact with the outside world when our starting point is self-knowledge, and modern philosophy also cannot accept that any principle could be 'first' in any absolute sense of the word, because final causality has...

New Essays in Philosophical Theology
ISBN: 9780334046219 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book is among the most promising and most important in its particular field to be published within recent years. Indeed, there is no other in which men trained in the school of philosophy dominant in England today have sought as they do here to come to terms with Christian theology.' (British Weekly)
'What is really appealing about these essays is not a new sophistication but a refreshing naivety and transparent sincerity, a kind of virginal approach to the old problems which, expressed in vigorous contemporary English, makes the book eminently attractive and readable.' (The Times... This book is among the most promising and most important in its particular field to be published within recent years. Indeed, there is no other in whi...

Knud Ejler Løgstrup’s The Ethical Demand is the most original influential Danish contribution to moral philosophy in this century. This is the first time that the complete text has been available in English translation. Originally published in 1956, it has again become the subject of widespread interest in Europe, now read in the context of the whole of Løgstrup’s work. The Ethical Demand marks a break not only with utilitarianism and with Kantianism but also with Kierkegaard’s Christian existentialism and with all forms of subjectivism. Yet Løgstrup’s project is not destructive....

New Essays in Philosophical Theology, edited by Antony Flew and Alasdair Maclntyre, has been available ever since, and has been in increasing demand. Religious Language, by Ian T. Ramsey, now Bishop of Durham, was out of print in England for a while, but has been reissued and is in a second new impression. Metaphysical Beliefs, on the other hand, was never reprinted.
