Etat : Bueno. : Esta emocionante antología reúne en un solo volumen muchas de las mejores historias de guerra jamás escritas, tanto reales como ficticias. Desde la grandeza romántica de la época napoleónica hasta los horrores deshumanizadores de las dos guerras mundiales, desde Europa hasta África, la colección abarca dos siglos e incluso se extiende hacia el futuro. Incluye relatos de escritores de guerra famosos como Nicholas Monsarrat y Alistair MacLean, junto con autores más conocidos en otras áreas, como la aterradora imagen de H. G. Wells de Inglaterra bajo la amenaza de la invasión marciana y el misterio inquietante de Ambrose Bierce sobre la Guerra Civil estadounidense. La panorámica vista de los ejércitos enfrentados de Rusia y Francia en Borodino es descrita gráficamente por Tolstoi. En contraste, se presenta el drama personal de la historia de amor de H.E. Bates, Fair Stood the Wind For France, y la salvaje manía de la novela de realismo bélico, The Naked and the Dead de Norman Mailer. Esta variada y entretenida selección de historias y extractos, que reflejan la amplitud y profundidad de la experiencia humana en tiempos de guerra, proporciona una lectura estimulante y satisfactoria.

Softcover. Etat : Good. Strong Hermeneutics is a clear and accessible investigation of both the enlightenment and postmodern or 'weak' approaches to contemporary discussions of ethics. Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in ethics, particularly in the approaches of deconstruction and hermeneutics. At the same time, questions of identity have risen to prominence in philosophy and beyond into cultural studies and literature. Strong Hermeneutics is a clear and accessible investigation of both the enlightenment and postmodern or 'weak' approaches to contemporary discussions of ethics. The weak view, which can be traced back to Nietzche and seen in the recent work of Rorty and Lyotard, is sceptical of any universal principles in ethics. The enlightenment view, starting with Kant and more recently seen in the work of Habermas, views identity as subject to universal but formal moral constraints, the renewing of which is the proper task of ethics. Nicholas Smith argues that neither of these views can provide a proper framework for ethics. He puts forward a third position - a strong hermeneutics - drawing on the work of Hans-Georg Gadamer, Paul Ricoeur and Charles Taylor. Strong Hermeneutics presents a defence of this view, compares it with the realism and anti-realism debate in philosophy, and demonstrates its relevance to contemporary issues, particularly ecological responsibility.; Gave paperback met al even schoon en fris binnenwerk.…

Paperback. Etat : New. The Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor is a key figure in contemporary debates about the self and the problems of modernity. This book provides a comprehensive, critical account of Taylor's work. It succinctly reconstructs the ambitious philosophical project that unifies Taylor's diverse writings. And it examines in detail Taylor's specific claims about the structure of the human sciences; the link between identity, language, and moral values; democracy and multiculturalism; and the conflict between secular and non-secular spirituality. The book also includes the first sustained account of Taylor's career as a social critic and political activist. Clearly written and authoritative, this book will be welcomed by students and researchers in a wide range of disciplines, including philosophy, psychology, politics, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies and theology.…
