Zobrazeno: 2791-2820 z celkem 3486 záznamů Začátek | Předchozí | Následující | Konec The Ego and Its Own
Anotace: Stirner's The Ego and its Own (1845) is striking in both style and content, attacking Feuerbach, Moses Hess and others to sound the death-knell of Left Hegelianism. The work also constitutes an enduring critique of liberalism and socialism from the perspective of an extreme eccentric individualism. Stirner has latterly been portrayed variously as a precursor of Nietzsche, a forerunner of existentialism, an individualist anarchist, and as manifestly insane. This edition includes an Introduction placing Stirner in his historical context. Robert Spencer
Empire of God
How the Byzantines Saved Civilization
Anotace: Without the Byzantine Empire, there never would have been Western civilization. Cleopatra
Anotace: Cleopatra VII was more than the last Macedonian Queen of Egypt. She was a femme fatale of epic proportion, ensnaring the two mightiest Romans of her time, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, with her famed beauty and intelligence. The story of Cleopatra reads like a modern thriller. From her murderous family, who were not averse to killing parents, siblings, and their own children, to the civil wars between Pompey, Caesar, Octavian Augustus, Brutus, and Mark Antony, the tale of this last queen of Egypt is filled with high drama, tension and, ultimately, tragedy. It is a story which, once started, is almost impossible to put down. This is possibly master storyteller Jacob Abbott's finest book. Friedrich Schiller
Wallenstein's Camp
Anotace: This is the first play of Friedrich Schiller's Wallenstein Trilogy. Set in a Bohemian camp during the Thirty Years War, it introduces the major characters of the rest of the trilogy, like Albrecht von Wallenstein and Max Piccolomini, from their subordinates' point of view. The Witch of Portobello
Anotace: How do we find the courage to always be true to ourselves—even if we are unsure of who we are? That is the central question of international bestselling author Paulo Coelho's profound new work, The Witch of Portobello. It is the story of a mysterious woman named Athena, told by the many who knew her well—or hardly at all. Like The Alchemist, The Witch of Portobello is the kind of story that will transform the way readers think about love, passion, joy, and sacrifice. Friedrich Schiller
Schiller's Philosophical Letters
Anotace: The Philosophical Letters were published by Schiller in the March 1786 edition of Thalia, Schiller’s journal of poetry and philosophical writings. The idea for the letters arose earlier, during Schiller’s academic years. The poem Friendship, which is quoted in part in the letters, originally appeared in an anthology of his poems in the year 1782 and was referred to as coming from the letters of Julius to Raphael, a yet unpublished fictional work. Although the letters are represented as a fiction, the Theosophy of Julius, which is the centerpiece of the correspondence, clearly reflects the philosophical outlook of the young Schiller. The role of Raphael was assumed by Schiller’s friend Christian Gottfried Körner. The beginning of the first letter from Raphael was apparently written by Körner, and the second letter from Raphael, which is the concluding letter of the correspondence, was definitely written by Körner and not Schiller. Although Schiller printed the final letter by Körner in Thalia, it did not appear in the first printing, nor in subsequent printings. This letter was apparently part of a plan by Schiller to continue the letters beyond the Theosophy of Julius, but this plan was never carried out beyond Körner’s final letter. This letter is therefore included in this translation for its historical interest, but should not be read as a direct philosophical statement by Schiller. It in no way contradicts the view, that the Theosophy of Julius and the poem Friendship reflect the youthful philosophical outlook of the Poet of Freedom. Plótinos

An Essay on the Beautiful
Anotace: Aesthetics from a late neo-Platonist. Important in that it influenced mediaeval European thought. The Stolen Bacillus and other Incidents
Anotace: Ranging from a plot to wipe out London through biological terrorism, to an unknown creature preying on scientists at a remote astronomical observatory, this collection of short stories by H.G. Wells displays the imagination and plot twists that are characteristic of his later works. Gustav Just
Life of Luther
Anotace: This is a slightly modified reprint of Gustav Just's classic "Life of Luther." It is a biography that is unashamed of Luther's focus on the free gift of God's grace in Jesus Christ, instead of the system of merit that prevailed in Luther's Day. Just's strident yet colorful style has been left intact. This edition has several new illustrations, as well as updates in the last chapter to reflect the current state of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Václav Havel, Karel Hvížďala
Dálkový výslech
Anotace: Dálkový výslech Václava Havla je nejosobitější a také nejúspěšnější knihou našeho bývalého prezidenta. Je vyznáním jeho vztahu k lidem, umění, politice a je i jeho životopisem. Tím, že tento rozhovor Karlu Hvížďalovi poskytl, ze sebe sejmul povinnost jednou napsat paměti. Dálkový výslech vyšel poprvé česky v Londýně v roce 1986. Upravené vydání, doplněné o unikátní fotografie či předmluvu Petra Pitharta, vychází k Havlovým nedožitým 85. narozeninám. Socialism
Anotace: Socialism is the 1879 book on the philosophy of the famous author and political philosopher John Stuart Mill. The book centers on arguements on social order and liberty. Mysticism and Logic and Other Essays
Anotace: The titile essay of this collection suggests that Bertrand Russell's lifelong preoccupation: the disentanglement, with ever-increasing precision, of what is subjective or intellectualy cloudy from what is objective or capable of logical demonstration. The first five essays he calls 'entirely popular': they include two on the revolutionary changes in mathematics in the last hundred years, and one on the value of science in human culture. The last five, 'somewhat more technical', are concerned with particular problems of philosophy: the ultimate nature of matter, the connection between the sense-data and physics, the problem of casuality and different ways of knowing. In these one can see the Russell method in operation, intellectual analysis dissecting the problem to its bare bones. Veronica Decides to Die
Anotace: “A highly original, moving, and ultimately life-affirming book.” – Sunday Mirror (London) Twenty-four-year-old Veronika seems to have everything – youth and beauty, boyfriends and a loving family, a fulfilling job. But something is missing in her life. So, one cold November morning. She takes a handful of sleeping pills expecting to never wake up. But she does—at a mental hospital where she is told that she has only days to live. Inspired by events in Coelho’s own life, Veronika Decides to Die questions the meaning of madness and celebrates individuals who do not fit into patterns society considers to be normal. Bold and illuminating, it is a dazzling portrait of a young woman at the crossroads of despair and liberation, and a poetic, exuberant appreciation of each day as a renewed opportunity. Science and Hypothesis
Anotace: "Science and Hypothesis" is a study written in 1902, by the French mathematician, Henri Poincaré. It was designed with non-specialist readers in mind, and contains information on mathematics, space, physics and biology. The main theme of this work is that the absolute truth of science is non-existent. It postulates that many scientific beliefs are closer to convenient conventions than valid explanations. The chapters of this book include: Number and Magnitude , On the Nature of Mathematical Reasoning , Mathematical Magnitude and Experiment , Space , Non-Euclidean Geometries , Space and Geometry , Experiment and Geometry , etcetera. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author. The Rhesus
Anotace: Rhesus is an Athenian tragedy that belongs to the transmitted plays of Euripides. Its authorship has been disputed since antiquity, and the issue has invested modern scholarship since the 17th century when the play's authenticity was challenged, first by Joseph Scaliger and subsequently by others, partly on aesthetic grounds and partly on account of peculiarities in the play's vocabulary, style and technique. The conventional attribution to Euripides remains controversial. Rhesus takes place during the Trojan War, on the night when Odysseus and Diomedes make their way covertly into the Trojan camp. The same event is narrated in book 10 of Homer's epic poem, the Iliad. Liberalism and the Social Problem
Anotace: A fascinating collection of early speeches to Parliament from perhaps the greatest orator and statesman of the twentieth century and the winner of the 1953 Nobel Prize in Literature. Reflections on War and Death
Anotace: This early work by Sigmund Freud was originally published in 1918. 'Reflections on War and Death' is a work on the psychology and social attitudes toward war and death. Sigismund Schlomo Freud was born on 6th May 1856, in the Moravian town of Príbor, now part of the Czech Republic. He studied a variety of subjects, including philosophy, physiology, and zoology, graduating with an MD in 1881. Freud made a huge and lasting contribution to the field of psychology with many of his methods still being used in modern psychoanalysis. He inspired much discussion on the wealth of theories he produced and the reactions to his works began a century of great psychological investigation. Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit
Anotace: The greed of his family has led wealthy old Martin Chuzzlewit to become suspicious and misanthropic, leaving his grandson and namesake to make his own way in the world. White Nights and Other Stories
Anotace: rom the author of Crime and Punishment comes this remarkable collection of short fiction. A selection of ten compelling tales, steeped in Dostoyevsky's characteristic themes of spiritual torment and psychological struggle, evoke life in Czarist Russia. Featured stories include "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man," "Bobok," "An Honest Thief," "An Unpleasant Predicament," "Another Man's Wife," "The Peasant Marey," "The Crocodile," "A Faint Heart," "A Christmas Tree and a Wedding," and the title work. Our Mutual Friend
Anotace: A dead body is dredged from the Thames, presumed to be the son of wealthy miser John Harmon, in Dickens’ final novel, Our Mutual Friend. Leonardo da Vinci
Anotace: Leonardo da Vinci (1910) remains among the most fascinating, though speculative, works of Freud's entire output. A detailed reconstruction of Leonardo's emotional life from his earliest years, it represents Freud's first sustained venture into biography from a psychoanalytic perspective, and also his effort to trace one route that homosexual development can take. William L. Cleveland, Martin Bunton
A History of the Modern Middle East
Sixth Edition
Anotace: A History of the Modern Middle East examines the profound and often dramatic transformations of the region in the past two centuries, from the Ottoman and Egyptian reforms, through the challenge of Western imperialism, to the impact of US foreign policies. Built around a framework of political history, while also carefully integrating social, cultural, and economic developments, this expertly crafted account provides readers with the most comprehensive, balanced and penetrating analysis of the modern Middle East. The sixth edition has been revised to provide a thorough account of the major developments since 2012, including the tumultuous aftermath of the Arab uprisings, the sectarian conflict in Iraq and civil war in Syria that led to the rise of ISIS, the crises in Libya and Yemen, and the United States' nuclear talks with Iran. With brand-new timelines in each part, updated select bibliographies, and expanded online instructor resources, A History of the Modern Middle East remains the quintessential text for courses on Middle East history.
