Great Philosophers:Democritus

de Paul Cartledge

4,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Part of the GREAT PHILOSOPHERS series. Democritus c. 460-c. 370BC The Renaissance''s ''Laughing Philosopher''; our own age''s ''Prophet of Quark'': throughout the modern philosophical tradition, Democritus has been a man little known beyond his labels. Yet if the image of the cheerful ironist understates his true seriousness, that of father of modern nuclear physics - though by no means entirely unfounded - loses sign of the man in the hyperbole. Flattering as it is, it fails to do justice either to the full range of Democritus'' interests or to the astonishing originality of his ideas. For Democritus'' remarkable investigations took him far beyond the realms of physics and chemistry to explore the science of existence as a whole. Perception, selfhood and society; ethic, politics and the law: as Paul Cartledge''s enthralling introduction makes clear, Democritus has much to teach us, in all these fields and more.

Great Philosophers: Locke

de Michael Ayres

4,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Part of the GREAT PHILOSOPHERS series. John Locke 1632-1704 What Newton did for physics in the seventeenth century, Locke did for philosophy. The revolution wrought by these two giants established the intellectual underpinnings of the modern world. Yet out own age has called their contributions into question. While Newton''s universe has come to seem unduly mechanistic, Locke has been out of favour for his wordy rhetoric, the apparent imprecision of his thought and the perceived irrelevance of his once-radical empiricism. This fascinating guide restores an underrated thinker to his rightful place at the very centre of modern philosophical enquiry. Basing his exposition upon a resourceful re-reading of An Essay concerning Human Understanding, Michael Ayers explains the historical significance of Locke''s philosophical project, and its continuing capacity to challenge and compel.

Freud

de Richard Webster

4,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Popular Great Philosopher''s Series Richard Webster expert on Freud A critical reassessment of one of the most controversial philosophers of the last century. Few figures have had so decisive and fundamental an influence on the course of modern cultural history as Sigmund Freud. Yet few figures also have inspired such intense controversy and continued debate. The criticisms directed against his ideas have tended to become better informed with the passing of time. With almost a hundred years of Freud scholarship to draw on, it is now possible, perhaps for the first time, to offer a considered and balanced judgement on the value both of Freud''s thought and of the movement he founded. It is this which Richard Webster has set out to do in a book which provides both a lucid introduction to Freud''s theories and a striking account of why it is that Freud is still widely regarded as the most important of all modern thinkers.

Great Philosophers:Berkeley

de David Berman

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Part of the GREAT PHILOSOPHERS series. George Berkeley 1685-1753 A scientist, theologian and writer on medicine and economics, George Berkeley was in his way a most improbable philosopher. A master of English prose, he was suspicious of language; scornful of abstractions, he looked instead to immediate experience for the basis of his thought. David Berman''s readable guide traces Berkeley''s experimentalism - for experiments with sight and touch to near-death experience - finding in his writings an intriguing marriage of philosophy and psychology.

Great Philosophers:Schopenhauer

de Michael Tanner

4,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Schopenhauer 1788 - 1860 Western philosophy''s most profound and unrelenting pessimist, Schopenhauer hymned the miseries of human existence with a joylessness that was little short of lyrical. Yet he thrilled to the beauties of music and art. How did such deep bleakness and such sublime enthusiasm come to coincide in one man, one mind? Only by squaring these two sides of Schopenhauer can we truly hope to understand this most paradoxical - even perverse of thinkers. Only through his thoughts on Beauty can we apprehend his attitude towards Truth. The failure of later philosophers down the generations to resolve these apparent contradictions has seen Schopenhauer''s thought unjustly marginalized and philosophy itself much poorer. Michael Tanner''s enthralling introduction teases out the difficulties and unpicks the paradoxes to reveal the exhilarating coherence beneath. It amounts to nothing less than a rediscovery of one of Western tradition''s greatest philosophers.

Great Philosophers:Pascal

de Ben Rogers

4,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Pascal 1623-1662 The moralist who advocated dressing up, the ascetic who liked a flutter, the devout Christian who lauded vanity, Pascal is a funnier, more ironic philosopher than his reputation as an anguished existentialist would suggest. Yet however irreverent the terms of his ironic project, its underlying impetus is both serious and profound. In this superb new introduction to the thinker and his thought, Ben Rogers demonstrates the deep wisdom of Pascal''s defence of popular folly - a defence which he used to highlight the higher delusions of the learned. Setting the Pensées in the context of Pascal''s life and philosophical career, Rogers reveals how their apparent frivolity underpins a fascinating, far-reaching and still challenging body of moral and political thought. His remarkable guide offers an eye-opening account of the work of a marvellous and much neglected thinker.

Great Philosophers: Popper

de Frederic Raphael

4,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Karl Popper 1902-1994 The political history of the twentieth century has been full of savage ''certainties''. A similar idea of history warranted the callous savageries of both Marxism and Fascism. They shared a faith in what Karl Popper called ''Historicism'': the belief that the future could be predicted and that man had to align himself with its bloody progress. Totalitarianism, Popper maintained, was based on ideas implicit in Western philosophy, from Plato to Hegel and Marx. It was his unique achievement to challenge the fundamental arguments in which Left and Right cloaked their authority. At a time when Communism and Fascism were devastatingly alluring to many intellectuals, Popper attacked their philosophical roots with passionate reasonableness and unflinching scepticism. As Frederic Raphael suggests in this elegant and intriguing introduction to his philosophy of science and history, Popper''s epic modesty may have made him the most radical thinker of our times.
