Vocabulary of a Modern European State
¥220.63
The Vocabulary of a Modern European State is the companion volume to The Concept of a Philosophical Jurisprudence and completes the enterprise of gathering together Oakeshott's previously scattered essays and reviews. As with all the other volumes in the series it contains an entirely new editorial introduction explaining how the writings it contains find their place in his work as a whole. It covers the years 1952 to 1988, the period during which Oakeshott wrote his definitive work, On Human Conduct. The essay from which the volume takes its title was intended as a companion piece to the third part of the latter work, and is just one of over sixty pieces that it includes. The volume draws together critical responses to works by major philosophers, historians, and political theorists of his own generation such as Bertrand de Jouvenel, Herbert Marcuse, and Michael Polanyi as well as to some major figures of current scholarship such as Quentin Skinner and Roger Scruton.
Intimations Pursued
¥220.63
In this book Andrew Sullivan examines Oakeshott's transition from his original emphasis on philosophy as providing what was ultimately satisfactory in experience to his later emphasis on practical life. This satisfaction is best achieved by a fusion of the modes of poetry and practice, leading the author to examine Oakeshott's view of religious life as the consummation of practice in its most poetic incarnation. The book also examines how the conception of practice is applied in Oakeshott's political writings, focusing on the notion of civil association.
Oakeshott on History
¥220.63
This book challenges the common view that Michael Oakeshott was mainly important as a political philosopher by offering the first comprehensive study of his ideas on history. It argues that Oakeshott's writings on the philosophy of history mark him out as the most successful of the philosophers who attempted to establish historical study as an autonomous form of thought during the twentieth century. It also contends that his work on the history of political thought is best seen in the context of debates over the origins of the liberal state. For the first time, extensive use has been made of unpublished material in the collection of Oakeshott's papers at the LSE, resulting in an intellectual biography that should be of interest both to first-time students and those already familiar with his published works.
Puritan' Democracy of Thomas Hill Green
¥220.63
The central concern of this book is to demonstrate how Puritanism was a theme which ran through all Green's biography and political philosophy. It thereby reveals how Green's connections with Evangelicalism and his known affinities with religious dissent came from his way of conceiving Puritanism. In Green's eyes, its anti-formalist viewpoint made Puritanism the most suitable tool for avoiding the drawbacks of democracy. The key objective of the book is to illustrate how the philosophy elaborated by Green aimed to encapsulate the best of Puritanism whilst eschewing the dangerous abstractions of both Puritan philosophy and German idealism. It follows that Green's conception of positive and negative freedom, and his vision of political obligation, stemmed from his effort to revive the Puritan heritage rather than from an ambiguous flirtation with idealism. The book purports to show how the influence of Puritanism in Green's political thought is an element which can help to integrate the literature in the area, contributing to a better comprehension of a philosopher who, despite being unanimously considered as the founder of the so-called Oxford idealist school, had a very difficult and sometimes obscure connection with idealism. It has been widely argued that Green's relationship with idealism seemed to be infected by a religious germ which, because it was unrelated to German idealism, gave it a bad taste. This study aims to encourage further investigation into the nature and propagation of that germ in the British idealist School.
Models of the Self
¥220.63
A long history of inquiry about human nature and the self stretches from the ancient tradition of Socratic self-knowledge in the context of ethical life to contemporary discussions of brain function in cognitive science. It begins with a conflict among the ancients. On one view, which comes to be represented most clearly by Aristotle, the issue is settled in terms of a composite and very complex human nature. Who I am is closely tied to my embodied existence. The other view, found as early as the Pythagoreans, and developed in the writings of Plato, Augustine and Descartes, held that genuine humanness is not the result of an integration of 'lower' functions, but a purification of those functions in favour of a liberating spirituality. The animal elements are excluded from the human essence. The modern debate on the problem of the self, although owing much to the insights of Locke and Hume, can still be situated within the context of the two schools of ancient thought, and this has led many to despair over the lack of apparent progress in this problem.Today, of course, we often tend to look to science rather than philosophy to develop our understanding of a wide range of fundamental issues. To what extent is the problem of the self a scientific issue? Can insights from the study of neuropsychology and cognitive development in infancy provide a new perspective? Can the study of schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorders tell us anything about the nature of human self-consciousness?Many would answer yes to the above questions, but then is it not also the case that the study of exceptional 'self-actualised' human experience is equally relevant? And can the phenomenological tradition, dedicated to the systematic study of human experience, and contemporary analytic approaches in philosophy help us out of some of the impasses that have bedevilled the empiricist tradition?MODELS OF THE SELF includes all these perspectives in an attempt to cast light on one of the most intractable problems in science and the humanities.
Legendary Past
¥220.63
The book explores Oakeshott's thought on the key role human imagination plays in relation to the political. It addresses four main themes: imagination, foundational narratives, the question of political societies' identities as well as that of human living-together, to use Hannah Arendt's expression. The book's main objective is to show that Oakeshott may be rightfully understood to be a philosopher of the imagination as well as a foundationalist thinker in the Arendtian narrative constructivist tradition.
Religious and Poetic Experience in the Thought of Michael Oakeshott
¥220.63
Much of the scholarly attention attracted by Michael Oakeshott's writings has focused upon his philosophical characterisation of the relations that constitute moral association in the modern world. A less noticed, but equally significant, aspect of Oakeshott's moral philosophy is his account of the type of person (or persona) required to enter into and enjoy moral association. Oakeshott's best known characterisation of the persona best suited to moral association occurs in his identification of a 'morality of the individual'. The book argues that Oakeshott's characterisations of religious and poetic experience provide a more detailed account of the type of persona that emerged in response to what it perceived as an invitation to participate in moral association in the modern world.
How Good an Historian Shall I Be?
¥220.63
R.G. Collingwood's name is familiar to historians and history educators around the world. Few, however, have charted the depths of his reflections on what it means to be educated in history. In this book Marnie Hughes-Warrington begins with the facet of Collingwood's work best known to teachers-re-enactment-and locates it in historically-informed discussions on empathy, imagination and history education. Revealed are dynamic concepts of the a priori imagination and education that tend towards reflection on the presuppositions that shape our own and others' forms of life.
Transformational Corporate Leadership
¥220.63
The future of any or any organization is so much dependent upon the quality of its leadership. In today's complex and dynamic world. Share holders and stakeholders in any organization are looking for leaders who will transform organizations for the common good. This book shares the essence of what it takes to transform any organization successfully and provides examples of transformation in organizations from Kenya. The authors have focused on the various areas that the leadership of an organization should focus on to achieve a balanced transformation of the organization. The authors also place an emphasis on the sound foundation of Strategic Leadership, which should be characterized by both visionary and ethical practices.
T.H. Green's Theory of Positive Freedom
¥220.63
In this new and entirely revised edition of his study of Green's theory of positive freedom, Ben Wempe argues that the far-reaching and beneficial influence of Green's political doctrine, on public policy as well as in the field of political theory, was founded on a misinterpretation of his philosophical stand, since the metaphysical basis on which Green argued for his political position was largely neglected. The book discusses Green's philosophical development and examines an important, hitherto underrated, influence that went into the formation of his philosophical opinions. It then considers Green's metaphysics and describes how some omissions from the concise version of his metaphysical doctrine, as it is found in his published works, may be remedied by reference to Green's unpublished material.
On Art and Artists
¥220.63
These critical essays on art and artists by T.G. Rosenthal, chosen by the author from his considerable output over more than fifty years of writing and reviewing, focus mainly on what has come to be known as 'Modern British' art - art from the 20th century. Rosenthal knew many of his subjects personally and some became friends: Michael Ayrton; Arthur Boyd; Ivon Hitchens; Thelma Hulbert; L. S. Lowry; Sidney Nolan; Paula Rego. There are also essays on Wyndham Lewis, Jack B. Yeats and the paintings of August Strindberg. There is a profile of Walter and Eva Neurath, founders of the art-book publishers Thames & Hudson, the author's first employers; an essay on Anti-Semitism in England; and an obituary of Matthew Hodgart, who at Cambridge, influenced and developed Rosenthal's knowledge and passion for literature.
Limits of Political Theory
¥220.63
This book examines Oakeshott's political philosophy within the context of his more general conception of philosophical understanding. The book stresses the underlying continuity of his major writings on the subject and takes seriously the implications of understanding the world in terms of modality. The book suggests strongly that Oakeshott's philosophy of political activity cannot be reduced to a branch of conservatism, liberalism, or postmodernism or a theory or set of doctrines which fit neatly into any conventional school, like that of Idealism or Skepticism. Rather, Oakeshott's philosophy of political activity is a provocation to all of the currently dominant schools of political theory and political practice. It questions their presuppositions and exposes as ambiguous, arbitrary, or confused all of the supposed certainties which they take for granted. It does all this by offering profound insights into the character and limits of both political activity and political theory in the modern world.

别让偏见和标签决定你是谁(套装共五册)
¥220.20
《偏见的本质》 本书深入洞察了人类经验复杂性的核心话题“偏见与歧视”,是人格心理学之父戈登? 奥尔波特的里程碑式著作。在本书出版之前,心理学界普遍认为“偏见”只是个别的、品德有缺陷的个体所持有的恶劣信念,只要大多数善良的好公民与这些“害群之马”划清界限,就可以把偏见的影响降到*低。而奥尔波特以雄辩的论述和大量来自实证研究的数据证明了,偏见是人类认知结构和社会组织形态的必然产物,而想要解决偏见造成的问题,就需要探究和改变其深层根源。 《刻板印象:我们为何歧视与被歧视》 《刻板印象》揭露了一个事实:我们生来戴着有色眼镜,同时又遭受着各种偏见。 斯蒂尔教授解释了在每个人生活中因身份认同感而产生的两难窘境,证明刻板印象和负面标签显著限制了人们的表现。刻板印象无处不在,它成为我们的标志,成为我们的负担,有时使人努力过度,有时扼杀了自我本性。还好,它并非不可战胜。本书深入剖析了身份认同感的形成因素和过程,展示了小小的标签如何发挥了强大的力量,*后总结出一套完整的应对计划,帮助你摆脱刻板印象的陷阱,重塑自己的身份,充分且自由地发挥天赋。 《格调:社会等级与生活品味》 等级是刻意忽视也无法否认的现实存在,不仅体现在容貌、衣着、职业、住房、餐桌举止、休闲方式、谈吐上,也不仅仅是有多少钱或者能挣多少钱。作者通过独特的视角、敏锐的观察、鞭辟入里的分析、机智幽默的文笔,将美国社会中的社会等级现象描绘得淋漓尽致,对三六九等人的品味作了细致入微的对比,引人发笑又富于启发性。书中对美国社会的诸多描述无不折射出当下中国的众生百态,因此本书也可作为观察中国社会的一面明镜。 《恶俗:或现代文明的种种愚蠢》 本书延续了《格调》的毒舌写法,通过无情的揭露和入骨的批判,展现出现代文明社会种种光怪陆离的现象,敏锐地捕捉到了这个商业欺诈时代*大的特点——恶俗,并剖析了恶俗的本质、根源和未来,尖锐刺耳又不失幽默有趣。虽然极尽嘲讽之能事,作者之意却不在于讽刺挖苦,而是希望借此唤醒大众、反省大众文化,本书因此称得上是一部警世诤言。 《美国生活中的反智主义》 “反智”不仅仅是理智一时受到蒙蔽的现象,而是更多反映出长久以来不同群体出于各自利益诉求,对知识分子和智识呈现出的复杂心态。在本书中,霍夫施塔特按照不同领域对美国社会中由来已久的“反智”态度及其演变作了系统性梳理,依次讨论了福音派宗教运动、“专家”时代之前绅士阶层在美国政治领域的衰落、美国商人始终贯彻的实用主义理想,以及教育方面的变革。他的观察细致,研究扎实,叙述生动,重温此书,我们会看到隐藏在“民主”“平等”这些耳熟能详的美国价值观和美国政治实践之下的另外一种我们不太熟悉的美国历史和文化。

那不勒斯四部曲(套装共4册)
¥220.00
那不勒斯四部曲(套装共4册),分别是《我的天才女友》、《新名字的故事》、《离开的,留下的》、《失踪的孩子》。 《我的天才女友》是埃莱娜·费兰特“那不勒斯四部曲”的部,讲述了两个女主人公莉拉和埃莱娜的少女时代。故事一开始,已经功成名就的埃莱娜接到莉拉儿子里诺的电话,说他母亲彻底消失了。埃莱娜想起莉拉对自己命运的预言,于是她写下她们一生的故事…… 莉拉和埃莱娜一起成长于那不勒斯一个破败的社区,从小形影不离,彼此信赖,但又都视对方为自己隐秘的镜子,暗暗角力。 莉拉聪明,漂亮。她可以毫不畏惧地和欺凌自己的男生对质,也可以去找人人惧怕的阿奇勒﹒卡拉奇要回被他夺走的玩具;埃莱娜既羡慕莉拉的学习天赋和超人的决断力,又一直暗暗模仿莉拉。 家人不支持莉拉继续求学,因此她到父亲和兄长苦苦维持的修鞋店帮工,又面临几个纨绔子弟的追求。埃莱娜则怀着对朋友的关爱、嫉妒和理解,独自继续学业,却始终无法面对和莉拉竞争的失落。 终,十六岁的莉拉决定嫁给肉食店老板,但在婚宴上,她发现了丈夫的背叛。而埃莱娜也站在成人世界的入口,既为前途担忧,也因对思想前卫的尼诺产生朦胧好感而彷徨。 《新名字的故事》是埃莱娜·费兰特的“那不勒斯四部曲”的第二部,描述了埃莱娜和莉拉的青年时代。在她们的人生以快的速度急遽分化的那些年里,她们共同体验了爱、失去、困惑、挣扎、嫉妒和隐蔽的破坏。 莉拉在结婚当天就发现婚姻根本不是她想象的那样,她的初夜几乎是一场强奸。她带着一种强大的破坏欲介入了斯特凡诺的家族生意,似乎成为了她和埃莱娜小时候都想成为的那种女人。久未有身孕的莉拉,和埃莱娜去海边度假休养。而在伊斯基亚岛的那个夏天,改变了所有人的一生…… 出于对莉拉所拥有的爱情的愤怒,“我”(埃莱娜)奋力摆脱这个破败、充满暴力和宿仇的街区。“我”成了街区的首位大学生,并和一个高级知识分子家庭的男孩订婚,甚至出版了首本小说。“我”以胜利者的形象回到那不勒斯,却发现告别了丑陋婚姻的莉拉,在一家肉食加工厂备受屈辱地打工。 当“我”发现自己的小说,其实完全窃取了莉拉交托给“我”的秘密笔记本里那些独特的力量和灵感,“我”被迫面临一个极度痛苦的问题:“我”和莉拉,到底谁离开了,又是谁留下了? 《离开的,留下的》是埃莱娜·费兰特的“那不勒斯四部曲”的第三部,聚焦“我”(埃莱娜)和莉拉躁动、紧密相依的中年。 “我”在未婚夫彼得罗一家人的帮助下,出版了首本小说,享受着成功的喜悦,而留在那不勒斯的莉拉却身陷贫困而卑贱的工厂生活。“我”像个骑士一样,再度介入莉拉的生活,并动用丈夫一家人的关系,让莉拉和恩佐的生活有了转机——他们成了那不勒斯地区学习、掌握计算机技术的人,他们顽强、坚韧的学习能力让他们开始积累了巨大的财富。 我和莉拉之间再次胜负难辨。婚后的“我”开始面临自己的创作危机,而平静的、中产阶级式的婚姻也令“我”疲惫不堪。对社会变革颇为冷淡的彼得罗希望“我”放弃作家的身份,而“我”在扮演“母亲”、“妻子”这些角色时,总是避免不了内心的分裂、紧张。 莉拉对“我”的新作品的指责更是让我产生彻底的自我怀疑:我接受的教育和拥有的知识是否只是让我的作品徒有其表,没有真正的思想,也永远无法拥有莉拉近乎粗野的表达中那些令人不安的真相。直到有一天,“我”丈夫突然将尼诺带回了家…… 《失踪的孩子》是“那不勒斯四部曲”的第四部,小说聚焦了莉拉和埃莱娜(“我”)的壮年和晚年,为她们持续了五十多年的友谊划上了一个令人心碎的句号。 “我”为了爱情和写作,离开丈夫带着两个女儿回到了那不勒斯,不可避免地与莉拉,还有我曾想要逃离的城区再度变得亲密。“我”和莉拉甚至在同一年怀孕、生子,并经历了恐怖残暴的那不勒斯大地震,一切都分崩离析,一切又将被重建。 “我”在不自觉中卷入莉拉秘密的企图——她希望利用我的名声和写作技巧来对抗城区陈腐而猖獗的恶势力。但在经历了生命恐怖的打击之后,莉拉选择以一种怪异夸张的方式在城区彻底将自己流放。 而“我”也将以惊人的韧性和诚实面对写作、爱情、家庭的失败。在经历了多年的自我怀疑之后,“我”决定忤逆(罔顾?)莉拉的告诫,将“我”和她一生的友谊写成一本小说,却招来了背叛……
