Aristotle on the Perfect Life
ISBN: 9780198240174 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Aristotle's teaching on the subject of happiness has been a topic of intense philosophical debate in recent years; it is of vital importance to the question of the relevance of his ethics in the present day.

Kenny has refined his position on the relation between the two works,...

Arthur Clough (1819-1861), one of the most undervalued of Victorian writers, is only now being recognized as a major poet.
