Why So Easily . . . Some Family Reasons For The Velvet Revolution - A Sociological Essay

de Ivo Mozny

~~26,50€~~ 21,20€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <b>A famed essay examines the Velvet Revolution from a sociological perspective.</b><br> <br> Thirty-two years after its initial publication, this respected sociological essay, written in the history-making years of 1989 and 1990, is available for the first time in English. The essay tells the story of a despotic Socialist state expropriating the family (and with it the private sphere of life) only to be colonized by the very thing it expropriated forty years later. The essay plunges the reader into the pivotal time of the Velvet Revolution and provides valid explanations for the grassroots causes of the old regime’s downfall, examining the private aspirations and strategies of highly disparate groups of nameless social actors of the old regime that eventually sapped almost everyone of any interest in keeping the regime afloat.

Seven Letters To Melin - Essays On The Soul, Science, Art And Mortality

de Josef Safarik

~~21,20€~~ 16,96€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Josef Šafaík’s <i>Seven Letters to Melin</i> is an exploration of man’s alienation from nature—and from himself—in the modern technological age. Conceived as a series of letters to Melin, an engineer who believes in the value of science and technical progress, the book grows skeptical of such endeavors, while also examining mankind’s search for meaning in life. To help uncover this meaning, Šafaík posits a dichotomy between spectator and participant. The role of participant is played by Robert, an artist who has committed suicide. The spectator, embodied by the scientist Melin, views the world from a distance and searches for explanations, while the artist-participant creates the world through his own active engagement.<br> <br> Through these exchanges, Šafaík argues for the primacy of artistic creativity over scientific explanation, of truth over accuracy, of internal moral agency over an externally imposed social morality, and of personal religious belief over organized church-going. Šafaík is neither anti-scientific nor anti-rational; however, he argues that science has limited power, and he rejects the idea of science that denies meaning and value to what cannot be measured or calculated.<br> <br> Šafaík’s critiques of technology, the wage economy, and increased professionalization make him an important precursor to the philosophy of deep ecology. This book was also a major influence on the Czech president Václav Havel; in this new translation it will find a fresh cohort of readers interested in what makes us human.

In Quest Of History - On Czech Statehood And Identity

de Jiri Priban, Karel Hvizdala e Stuart Hoskins

~~18,55€~~ 14,84€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <div>In honor of the 2018 centennial of Czech independence, philosopher of law Jií Pibán and award-winning Czech journalist Karel Hvížala took the opportunity to examine key moments in Czech history from the ninth century to the twenty-first. Covering such a broad span of time allowed them to look into the past and question how Czechs have viewed their history at different points—and what that means for the Czech present and future. As contemporary politics drift closer towards totalitarianism, historiography from scholars and thinkers who experienced twentieth-century totalitarian regimes is more important than ever. In their spirited dialogue, Hvížala and Pibán raise and explore these crucial issues, sharing subjects normally reserved for university seminars with the broader public.</div>

Philosophy En Noir

de Miroslav Petricek

~~19,88€~~ 15,90€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <div>Thought necessarily reflects the times. Following the tragedy of the Holocaust, this fact became ever more clear. And it may be the reason postwar philosophical texts are so difficult to understand, since they confront incomprehensibly traumatic experiences. In this first English-language translation of any of his books, Miroslav Petíek—one of the most influential and erudite Czech philosophers, and a student of Jan Patoka—argues that to exist in the second half of the twentieth century and beyond, Western philosophy has had to rewrite its tradition and its discourse, radically transforming itself. Should philosophy be capable of bearing witness to the time, Petíek contends, this metamorphosis in philosophy is necessary. Offering an original Central European perspective on postwar philosophical discourse that reflects upon the historical underpinnings of pop culture phenomena and complex philosophical schools—including Adorno, Agamben, Benjamin, Derrida, Husserl, Kracauer, and many others—<i>Philosophy en noir</i> is a record of this transformation.</div>
