Unlike some of his famous contemporaries, however, he was not dogmatically committed to idealised conceptions of reason, liberty, and progress. Instead, Hume was a sceptic whose arguments questioned the reach and authority of human rationality, and who put the rivalrous passions of commercial life at the centre of his theory of human nature. He believed that the modern world was in many ways superior to the ancient world, but was acutely conscious of the threats to peace and progress posed by bigotry, factionalism, and imperialism. Today Hume's works continue to speak to us powerfully in an age of instability and uncertainty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Very Short Introduction presents a balanced account of Hume's thought, giving equal attention to his work on human nature, morality, politics, and religion. Weaving together biography, the historical context, and a thoughtful exposition of Hume's arguments, James A. Harris offers a compelling picture of a thinker who had no disciples and formed no school, but whom no one in his own time was able to ignore, and who has since become central to modern philosophy's understanding of itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ebVery Short Introductionsb: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring \/b\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

The period spans romanticism and idealism, socialism, Nietzscheanism, and phenomenology, philosophical movements we most often associate with Hegel, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Marx--but rarely with women. Yet women philosophers not only contributed to these movements, but also spearheaded debates about their social and political implications. While today their works are less well-known than those of their male contemporaries, many of these women philosophers were widely-read and influential in their own time. Their contributions shed important new light on nineteenth-century philosophy and philosophy more generally: revealing the extent to which various movements which we consider distinct were joined, and demonstrating the degree to which philosophy can transform lives and be transformed by lived experiences and practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the nineteenth century, women philosophers explored a wide range of philosophical topics and styles. Working within and in dialogue with popular philosophical movements, women philosophers helped shape philosophy's agenda and provided unique approaches to existential, political, aesthetic, and epistemological questions. Though largely deprived formal education and academic positions, women thinkers developed a way of philosophizing that was accessible, intuitive, and activist in spirit. The present volume makes available to English-language readers-in many cases for the first time-the works of nine women philosophers, with the hope of stimulating further interest in and scholarship on their works. The volume includes a comprehensive introduction to women philosophers in the nineteenth century and introduces each philosopher and her position. The translations are furnished with explanatory footnotes. The volume is designed to be accessible to students as well as scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190868048\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 6.2 Inches, Length: 9.3 Inches, Weight: 1.0802650838 Pounds, Width: 0.8 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dalia Nassar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51860018037043,"sku":"9780190868048","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/26024033482255.jpg?v=1754111669"},{"product_id":"to-the-uttermost-parts-of-the-earth","title":"To the Uttermost Parts of the Earth...","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martti Koskenniemi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e To the Uttermost Parts of the Earth...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Pages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1124\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2021-11-04\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e To the Uttermost Parts of the Earth shows the vital role played by legal imagination in the formation of the international order during 1300-1870. It discusses how European statehood arose during early modernity as a locally specific combination of ideas about sovereign power and property rights, and how those ideas expanded to structure the formation of European empires and consolidate modern international relations. By connecting the development of legal thinking with the history of political thought and by showing the gradual rise of economic analysis into predominance, the author argues that legal ideas from different European legal systems - Spanish, French, English and German - have played a prominent role in the history of global power. This history has emerged in imaginative ways to combine public and private power, sovereignty and property. The book will appeal to readers crossing conventional limits between international law, international relations, history of political thought, jurisprudence and legal history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521745345\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8.75 Inches, Length: 6 Inches, Weight: 3.9021820374 Pounds, Width: 2 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martti Koskenniemi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51860113457459,"sku":"9780521745345","price":124.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/20673783482373.jpg?v=1754112145"},{"product_id":"good-thinking","title":"Good Thinking","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denise D.

Their evidence -- small, hand-held stone tools found in the gravel quarries of the Somme among the bones of ancient animals -- shattered the timescale of Genesis and kicked open the door for a time revolution in human history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the space of a calendar year, and at a furious pace, the relationship between humans and time was forever changed. This interpretation of deep human history was shaped by the optimistic decade of the 1850s, the Victorian Heyday in the age of equipoise. Proving great human antiquity depended on matching the principles of geology with the personal values of scientific zeal and perseverance; qualities which time-revolutionaries such as Evans and Prestwich had in abundance. Their revolution was driven by a small group of weekend scientists rather than some great purpose, and it proved effective because of its bonds of friendship stiffened by scientific curiosity and business acumen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClive Gamble explores the personalities of these time revolutionaries and their scientific co-collaborators and adjudicators -- Darwin, Falconer, Lyell, Huxley, and the French antiquary Boucher de Perthes -- as well as their sisters, wives, and nieces Grace McCall, Civil Prestwich, and Fanny Evans. As with all scientific discoveries getting there was often circuitous and messy; the revolutionaries changed their minds and disagreed with those who should have been allies. Gamble's chronological narrative reveals each step from discovery to presentation, reception, consolidation, and widespread acceptance, and considers the impact of their work on the scientific advances of the next 160 years and on our fascination with the shaping power of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198870692\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 5.7 Inches, Length: 8.6 Inches, Weight: 1.25222564816 Pounds, Width: 1 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clive Gamble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51860116144435,"sku":"9780198870692","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/21793103482258.jpg?v=1754112431"},{"product_id":"portraits-from-memory","title":"Portraits from Memory","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bertrand Russell\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e Portraits from Memory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Pages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2020-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e 'I have come to think that one of the main causes of trouble in the world is dogmatic and fanatical belief in some doctrine for which there is no adequate evidence.' - Bertrand Russell, Portraits from Memory\u003cbr\u003ePortraits from Memory is one of Bertrand Russell's most self-reflective and engaging books. Whilst not intended as an autobiography, it is a vivid recollection of some of his celebrated contemporaries, such as George Bernard Shaw, Sidney and Beatrice Webb and D. H. Lawrence. Russell provides some arresting and sometimes amusing insights into writers with whom he corresponded. He was fascinated by Joseph Conrad, with whom he formed a strong emotional bond, writing that his Heart of Darkness was not just a story but an expression of Conrad's 'philosophy of life'. There are also some typically pithy Russellian observations; H. G. Wells 'derived his importance from quantity rather than quality', whilst after a brief and fraught friendship Russell thought D. H. Lawrence 'had no real wish to make the world better, but only to indulge in eloquent soliloquy about how bad it was'.\u003cbr\u003eThis engaging book also includes some of Russell's customary razor-sharp essays on a rich array of subjects, from his ardent pacifism, liberal politics and morality to the ethics of education, the skills of good writing and how he came to philosophy as a young man. These include 'A Plea for Clear Thinking', 'A Philosophy for Our Time' and 'How I Write'.\u003cbr\u003ePortraits from Memory is Russell at his best and will enthrall those new to Russell as well as those already well-acquainted with his work.\u003cbr\u003eThis Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by the Russell scholar Nicholas Griffin, editor of The Selected Letters of Bertrand Russell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367540845\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8.50392 Inches, Length: 5.43306 Inches, Weight: 0.67461452172 Pounds, Width: 0.53 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bertrand Russell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51860116177203,"sku":"9780367540845","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/23347233482318.jpg?v=1754112439"},{"product_id":"the-socratic-way-of-life","title":"The Socratic Way of Life","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas L.

In the second part, Pangle analyzes Xenophon's account of how Socrates's life as a whole was just, in the sense of helping through his teaching a wide range of people. Socrates taught by never ceasing to raise, and to progress in answering, the fundamental and enduring civic questions: what is pious and impious, noble and ignoble, just and unjust, genuine statesmanship and genuine citizenship. Inspired by Hegel's and Nietzsche's assessments of Xenophon as the true voice of Socrates, The Socratic Way of Life establishes the Memorabilia as the groundwork of all subsequent political philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226754260\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 9 Inches, Length: 6 Inches, Weight: 0.87743980276 Pounds, Width: 1.2 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas L.

In How to Be a Bad Emperor, Josiah Osgood provides crisp new translations of Suetonius's briskly paced, darkly comic biographies of the Roman emperors Julius Caesar, Tiberius, Caligula, and Nero.

This was believed directly to represent the order of things and to be a universal characteristic of the human mind. Language, Mind and Nature is a 2007 text which fully reconstructs this artificial language movement. In so doing, it reveals a great deal about the beliefs and activities of those who sought to reform learning in seventeenth-century England. Artificial languages straddle occult, religious and proto-scientific approaches to representation and communication, and suggest that much of the so-called 'new philosophy' was not very new at all. This study broke important ground within its field, and will interest anyone concerned with early modern intellectual history or with the history of linguistic thought in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521294133\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 9 Inches, Length: 6 Inches, Weight: 0.9479877266 Pounds, Width: 0.72 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rhodri Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51860267303219,"sku":"9780521294133","price":73.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/16161663482373.jpg?v=1754115897"},{"product_id":"a-new-history-of-western-philosophy","title":"A New History of Western Philosophy...","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Kenny\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e A New History of Western Philosophy...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Pages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1000\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 0000-00-00\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e The individual volumes of Sir Anthony Kenny's acclaimed History of Western Philosophy have been hailed as \"wonderfulauthoritativehugely rewarding\" (Times Higher Education Supplement) and \"genial and highly accessible\" (London Review of Books).

Kenny also looks closely at each of the main areas of philosophical exploration: knowledge and understanding; science; metaphysics; mind and soul; the nature and content of morality; political philosophy; and God. A New History of Western Philosophy is a stimulating chronicle of the intellectual development of Western civilization, allowing readers to trace the birth and growth of philosophy from antiquity to the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199589883\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 2.32 Inches, Length: 9.5 Inches, Weight: 3.7699046802 Pounds, Width: 6.58 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anthony Kenny","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51860267401523,"sku":"9780199589883","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/899223482259.jpg?v=1754115904"},{"product_id":"maxims","title":"Maxims","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e La Rochefoucaul\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e Maxims\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Pages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2009-08-10\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e The philosophy of La Rochefoucauld, which influenced French intellectuals as diverse as Voltaire and the Jansenists, is captured here in more than 600 penetrating and pithy aphorisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781587314957\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8.5 Inches, Length: 5.5 Inches, Weight: 0.43651527876 Pounds, Width: 0.6 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Rochefoucaul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51860271366451,"sku":"9781587314957","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/3769703482753.jpg?v=1754115917"},{"product_id":"plato","title":"Plato","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Annas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e Plato\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Pages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2003-05-15\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e This lively and accessible book focuses on the philosophy and argument of Plato's writings, drawing the reader into Plato's way of doing philosophy and the general themes of his thinking.

With virtuoso showmanship, he weaves an intensely complex history of thought. He dips into literature, art, economics and even biology in The Order of Things, possibly one of the most significant, yet most overlooked, works of the twentieth century. Eclipsed by his later work on power and discourse, nonetheless it was The Order of Things that established Foucault's reputation as an intellectual giant. Pirouetting around the outer edge of language, Foucault unsettles the surface of literary writing. In describing the limitations of our usual taxonomies, he opens the door onto a whole new system of thought, one ripe with what he calls \"exotic charm\".

This volume, the first comprehensive English-language translation of Halbwach's writings on the social construction of memory, fills a major gap in the literature on the sociology of knowledge.\u003cbr\u003eHalbwachs' primary thesis is that human memory can only function within a collective context. Collective memory, Halbwachs asserts, is always selective; various groups of people have different collective memories, which in turn give rise to different modes of behavior. Halbwachs shows, for example, how pilgrims to the Holy Land over the centuries evoked very different images of the events of Jesus' life; how wealthy old families in France have a memory of the past that diverges sharply from that of the nouveaux riches; and how working class construction of reality differ from those of their middle-class counterparts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a detailed introduction by Lewis A.

The poem's vision would shape the thought of Galileo and Freud, Darwin and Einstein, and-in the hands of Thomas Jefferson-leave its trace on the Declaration of Independence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the gardens of the ancient philosophers to the dark chambers of monastic scriptoria during the Middle Ages to the cynical, competitive court of a corrupt and dangerous pope, Greenblatt brings Poggio's search and discovery to life in a way that deepens our understanding of the world we live in now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An intellectually invigorating, nonfiction version of a Dan Brown-like mystery-in-the-archives thriller.\" -Boston Globe 16 pages of color illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393343403\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8.3 Inches, Length: 5.5 Inches, Weight: 0.98 Pounds, Width: 1.1 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stephen Greenblatt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51870221861171,"sku":"9780393343403","price":18.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/11813253482223.jpg?v=1754349553"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/collections\/history-of-ideas.oembed?page=2","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
