Octopussy
￥48.97
ntr-o succesiune de oglinzi creatoare de iluzii nesfrite, Sofiei, protagonista celui mai cunoscut roman al norvegianului Jostein Gaarder, i este povestit, treptat, ntreaga filosofie a culturii occidentale. Dac filosofia sau literatura nsi este pretextul acestei cri cititorul va afla pe cont propriu. El va face cunotin, nc de la nceput, cu amestecul dintre fantezie i marile ntrebri ale omenirii. Pentru c nu gsise n biblioteci sau librrii nicio carte n care tinerilor s li se ofere o form accesibil a marilor idei, scriitorul norvegian pune n scen o poveste i imagineaz un personaj inventiv i curios. Jocurile duble sunt specialitatea lui Gaarder: Sofia va fi pus n oglind de Hilde, destinatara real a cursurilor, profesorii i vor schimba identitile, iar ntrebrile nu vor putea primi niciodat rspunsuri unice. Aventura cunoaterii va ncepe de la filosofii greci, va trece prin zorii cretinismului, prin medievalitatea european, va ajunge la Renatere, Iluminism, Romantism i pn la sistemele de gndire ale secolului al XX-lea. Fr a fi o simpl carte de popularizare, Lumea Sofiei este o introducere n filosofia occidental, deschiznd apetitul cititorului pentru cunoatere i meditaie asupra ntrebrilor eseniale. Cci, aa cum Hilde e Sofia, aceasta nu e nimeni altcineva dect imaginea cititorului nsui.
Liberty Option
￥63.67
The Liberty Option advances the idea that for compelling moral as well as practical reasons it is the free society - with the rule of law founded on the principles of private property rights, its complete respect for individual sovereignty and properly limited legal authorities - not one or another version of statism that serves justice best, is most prosperous and encourages the greatest measure of individual virtue on the part of the citizenry. The work shows why this is so and lays out some of the most crucial implications of the idea. While the book presents a principled approach to politics, it is firmly grounded in the best and most up to date understanding of human community life and history as well as many of its complications, challenges, adversities and prospects.
Write Your Self
￥58.76
We live in an age of information, but very little of this is about the individual. Too often we communicate in no more than ready-made cliches. But now more than ever there is a need to know ourselves and to discover more about our own profound resources for imagination and creativity. Write Your Self has been written with this in mind: you will keep a journal, but it is structured and directed, and all the writing leads to more understanding of you. Whether you simply treat this book as a different kind of journal, or whether you use it as a basis for creative writing, the result will be a new access to your own words and to your personal development as an individual.

Saskia
￥19.52
Richie is falling, he's certain to be killed as he hits the bottom of the quarry he's tumbled over the edge of. His life is saved by the intervention of a disembodied being he eventually comes to call a Guardian of Reality. But there's a snag. The voice gives him super powers, so he isn't hurt by the fall. Trouble is, it isn't super powers like Superman, it's super powers like Supergirl, which comes as a bit of a shock as you might imagine. Richie decides to put up with being a girl, having super powers does have the odd advantage. He calls himself Saskia and everything is fine - until he meets the 'real' Saskia. Saskia Hunt is a real thirteen year old girl, while Richie is only a pretend thirteen years old. The two Saskias quickly become firm friends. A friendship that survives Richie having to explain to Saskia about not actually being a girl. At this point Saskia is apparently so upset that the Voice that fiddled with Richie changes her as well, now there are two super girls. Despite the difference in age and even in gender, the two girls, Richie in his form as Saskia, remain best friends. Now the fun begins as Saskia Chandler has to learn how to be a girl. Almost the first thing that happens is a full formal evening event that sees her stuffed into a long frock and required to be a girl in front of a whole crowd of people. Quite apart from this crash course in being a young girl, Saskia Chandler finds that she and Saskia Hunt need to use their super powers to aid others as well as themselves. They never actually discover why they've been changed to be more than human, but get the occasional inkling as the Voice gets them to do things it can't apparently do for itself. This includes being shuttled around in time and space and saving the whole world - twice!

?n timp ce mul?i studen?i americani din anii 1960 participau la mar?uri ?mpotriva r?zboiului, luau droguri halucinogene ?i erau adep?ii amorului liber, Hannah Latham, fiica unui faimos profesor universitar ultraradical ?i al unei pictori?e foarte cultivate, nu vrea dec?t s? se c?s?toreasc? cu iubitul ei, viitor doctor, ?i s? tr?iasc? ?n provincie o via?? conven?ional?. T?n?rul cuplu ?i b?ie?elul lor nou-n?scut se stabilesc ?ntr-un or??el din statul Maine, ?ns? Hannah ajunge s? se simt? cur?nd izolat? ?i plictisit? de visul ei de fat? cuminte. ?ntr-o bun? zi, ?n lipsa so?ului, un t?n?r – veche cuno?tin?? de pe vremea studen?iei – apare ?n ora?, schimb?ndu-i lui Hannah via?a pentru totdeauna... O carte pe care n-o po?i l?sa din m?n?, cu un suspans bine dozat, scris? cu m?iestria unui autor de romane poli?iste.

Farmecul discret al vie?ii conjugale este un roman despre limita dintre via?a privat? ?i via?a public?, despre imensa pr?pastie dintre p?rin?i ?i copii ?i despre felul ?n care nu po?i sc?pa niciodat? cu adev?rat de trecutul t?u. De asemenea, constituie ?i o analiz? a moravurilor societ??ii contemporane, ?n care mass-media poate distruge vie?i ?n c?teva ore. “Kennedy este ne?ntrecut ?n a crea personaje feminine pline de rafinament, dar b?ntuite de fr?m?nt?ri.

Right Road to Radical Freedom
￥63.67
This work focuses on the topic of freedom. The author starts with the old issue of free will - do we as individual human beings choose our conduct, at least partly independently, freely? He comes down on the side of libertarians who answer Yes, and scorns the compatibilism of philosophers like Daniel Dennett, who try to rescue some kind of freedom from a physically determined universe. From here he moves on to apply his belief in radical freedom to areas of life such as religion, politics, and morality, tackling subjects as diverse as taxation, private property, justice and the welfare state.

Collingwood and the Crisis of Western Civilisation
￥220.63
This book argues that R.G. Collingwood's philosophy is best understood as a diagnosis of and response to a crisis of Western civilisation. The various and complementary aspects of the crisis of civilisation are explored and Collingwood is demonstrated to be working in the traditions of Romanticism and 'historicism'. On these subjects, the theories of Collingwood and Ortega y Gasset are contrasted with those of Nietzsche and Weber.
C?r?ri clandestine

The more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!'Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love—and its threatened loss—the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.This edition includes explanatory notes, textual variants between the first and second editions, and Tony Tanner's introduction to the original Penguin Classic edition.

Tragedie ?n trei acte
￥33.03
Sfâr?it de veac are un ritm bine marcat de scene în care conflictul e psihologic. Sunt scene de lupt?, de duplicitate ?i de strategie, conduse cu mân? sigur?, în care personajele î?i confrunt? interesele, dar ?i fi rea ascuns?. Maestrul de ceremonii este, fire?te, Urmatecu, plin de vitalitate, neobosit, viclean, calculat, altruist ?i crud totodat?, pe care doar lucrurile neclare, ciud??eniile, capriciile femeilor, nebunia ?i moartea îl tulbur?, sco?ându-l din apele în care se scald? de obicei. Chefurile uria?e pe care le trage dup? înmormânt?ri vin din nevoia de a se reechilibra psihic. Dac? boierul Barbu e un Tuzluc, iar Jurubi?a, o Kera Duduca, Urmatecu e un Dinu P?turic? infinit mai complicat ?i mai subtil, realizat la alte dimensiuni fizice ?i morale. Nu exist?, cum exist? de obicei în romanul de acest tip, personaje pozitive ori negative. Nici aplecarea spre caricatur? de la romancierii postbelici. Am putea spune chiar c? pân? ?i cei mai netrebnici sunt privi?i cu anume compasiune. Un element important este acela biografic, care atenueaz? eventualul spirit critic.

Adam Smith
￥107.81
Adam Smith (1723-90) studied under Francis Hutcheson at the University of Glasgow, befriended David Hume while lecturing on rhetoric and jurisprudence in Edinburgh, was elected Professor of Logic, Professor of Moral Philosophy, Vice-rector, and eventually Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow, and, along with Hutcheson, Hume, and a few others, went on to become one of the chief figures of the astonishing period of learning known as the Scottish Enlightenment.He is the author of two books: The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776). TMS brought Smith considerable acclaim during his lifetime and was quickly considered one of the great works of moral theory. It deeply impressed Immanuel Kant, for example, who called Smith his 'Liebling' or 'favourite', and Charles Darwin, who in his Descent of Man (1871) endorsed and accepted several of Smith's 'striking' conclusions. TMS went through fully six revised editions during Smith's lifetime.Since the nineteenth century, Smith's fame has largely rested on his Wealth of Nations, which must be considered one of the most important works of the millennium: its argument for free trade, its explanation of the price mechanism and the division of labor, its qualified defense of market economies, and its powerful criticisms of mercantilist economic theories are now standard fare in economics courses, not to mention the basis of a large portion of today's worldwide economic policy. And its account of human nature is now classic.Both The Theory of Moral Sentiments and the Wealth of Nations reveal Smith's impressively broad learning, but he wrote and lectured on a number of other subjects as well. This anthology collects, for the first time in one volume, not only generous selections from each of Smith's books but also substantial selections from his other work, including his lectures on jurisprudence, his history and philosophy of science, his criticism and belles lettres, and his philosophy of language. It also includes two important letters from Hume, as well as Smith's account of Hume's death.
