Zobrazeno: 2941-2970 z celkem 3645 záznamů Začátek | Předchozí | Následující | Konec Totem and Taboo
Anotace: In his book, Totem and Taboo, he proposes that all modern forms of socialization are shaped by the primitive culture of origin. In addition to that, he states that all behaviors of conformity spring from a common primitive form. Generally, a totem is a symbol that is common to a group of people. Typically, members who are of the same totem are prohibited from breeding. In this book, Freud argues that these simplistic societies would simply have had no way of knowing the physiological effects of incest. Instead, Freud argues that these primitive societies are driven by something else. Thus, Freud instigated a study into these groups and came up with conclusions. In the book, he also has something to say about how modern and monotheistic religions came into being. Psychology and Social Practice
Anotace: In this piece, Dewey explores the relationship between psychology and social practice, emphasizing the importance of a pragmatic approach that integrates both disciplines. He argues that psychology must go beyond the study of individual behavior and delve into the understanding of how individuals interact with and are influenced by their social environment. Dewey's article highlights the need for psychology to contribute to the improvement of society by addressing social issues and promoting human flourishing. The Republic
Anotace: Since the mid-nineteenth century, the Republic has been Plato’s most famous and widely read dialogue. As in most other Platonic dialogues the main character is Socrates. It is generally accepted that the Republic belongs to the dialogues of Plato’s middle period. In Plato’s early dialogues, Socrates refutes the accounts of his interlocutors and the discussion ends with no satisfactory answer to the matter investigated. In the Republic however, we encounter Socrates developing a position on justice and its relation to eudaimonia(happiness). He provides a long and complicated, but unified argument, in defense of the just life and its necessary connection to the happy life. The dialogue explores two central questions. The first question is “what is justice?” Socrates addresses this question both in terms of political communities and in terms of the individual person or soul. He does this to address the second and driving question of the dialogue: “is the just person happier than the unjust person?” or “what is the relation of justice to happiness?” Given the two central questions of the discussion, Plato’s philosophical concerns in the dialogue are ethical and political. In order to address these two questions, Socrates and his interlocutors construct a just city in speech, the Kallipolis. They do this in order to explain what justice is and then they proceed to illustrate justice by analogy in the human soul. On the way to defending the just life, Socrates considers a tremendous variety of subjects such as several rival theories of justice, competing views of human happiness, education, the nature and importance of philosophy and philosophers, knowledge, the structure of reality, the Forms, the virtues and vices, good and bad souls, good and bad political regimes, the family, the role of women in society, the role of art in society, and even the afterlife. This wide scope of the dialogue presents various interpretative difficulties and has resulted in thousands of scholarly works. In order to attempt to understand the dialogue’s argument as a whole one is required to grapple with these subjects. The Hound of the Baskervilles
Anotace: In this, one of the most famous of Doyle's mysteries, the tale of an ancient curse and a savage ghostly hound comes frighteningly to life. The gray towers of Baskerville Hall and the wild open country of Dartmoor will haunt the reader as Holmes and Watson seek to unravel the many secrets of the misty English bogs. Pravěk českých zemí v evropském kontextu
Anotace: Na rozdíl od dřívějších knížek o pravěku českých zemí se autor soustřeďuje na vztahy našeho pravěku k jiným částem Evropy a Středomoří, pokouší se je osvětlit v širším kontextu a ukázat, jak se i Čechy s Moravou aktivně účastnily kulturního vývoje celoevropského i celosvětového. Kniha je bohatě vybavena ilustracemi a mapami, dokumentujícími širší souvislosti jednotlivých etap pravěkých dějin našich zemí.PhDr. Jan Bouzek, DrSc., profesor klasické archeologie na Karlově univerzitě, se narodil v r. 1935 v Praze, byl hostujícím profesorem v Německu, Rakousku, Francii a USA, vedl řadu archeologických výzkumů u nás i v zahraničí (Bulharsko, Libanon, Srí Lanka), studoval zejména vztahy mezi různými starověkými civilizacemi; vydal řadu knih v zahraničí i u nás. Hlavními popularizujícími knihami jsou Objevy ve Středomoří (1980), Periklovo Řecko (1990, s I. Ondřejovou), Thrákové (1990) a tři menší knížky vydané společně se Z. Kratochvílem (Od mýtu k logu, Archaické myšlení a umění, Proměny interpretací). Jan Hus známý i neznámý
(Resumé knihy, která nebude napsána)
Anotace: Jiří Kejř vypráví přístupnou formou příběh života mistra Jana Husa, systematicky vysvětluje pohnutky jednání tohoto významného myslitele i podstatu jeho individualistického založení. Shrnuje tak své početné práce, které se Husa dotkly nebo zcela zásadně analyzovaly okolnosti jeho procesu u kurie a na koncilu kostnickém. Podává zhuštěně vysvětlení nepřesných či zavádějících tvrzení spojených s jeho osobou, která se objevují ve velmi bohaté odborné i popularizující husovské literatuře. Právě shrnutí a vyvrácení dosavadních omylů kolem Husa, jeho přátel i protivníků jsou hlavním cílem Kejřovy knihy. Přestože autor pokládá osobně svoji novou knihu za pouhý zlomek díla, jež by mělo o osobnosti Husova formátu vzniknout, lze ji právem považovat nikoli za fragment, ale za koncentrovaný, hodnotný extrakt zamýšlené, ale nerealizované obsáhlé monografie. Voltaire
Socrates
Anotace: Socrates (French: Socrate) is a 1759 French play in three acts written by Voltaire. It is set in Ancient Greece during the events just before the trial and death of Greek philosopher Socrates. It is heavy with satire specifically at government authority and organized religion. The main characters besides the titular role is that of the priest Anitus, his entourage, Socrates' wife Xantippe, several judges, and some children Socrates has adopted as his own. Immanuel Kant
Beobachtungen über das Gefühl des Schönen und Erhabenen
Anotace: Im Jahr 1764 veröffentliche Immanuel Kant die Schrift ‚Beobachtungen über das Gefühl des Schönen und Erhabenen‘. Das Werk ist in vier Abschnitte unterteilt. Lives
Volume II
Anotace: Plutarch's Lives, written at the beginning of the second century A.D., is a brilliant social history of the ancient world by one of the greatest biographers and moralists of all time. In what is by far his most famous and influential work, Plutarch reveals the character and personality of his subjects and how they led ultimately to tragedy or victory. Richly anecdotal and full of detail, Volume I contains profiles and comparisons of Romulus and Theseus, Numa and Lycurgus, Fabius and Pericles, and many more powerful figures of ancient Greece and Rome. 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.
