Del 4 - Philosophy and Cultural Studies Revisited / Historisch-genetische Studien zur Philosophie und Kulturgeschichte
Plato’s Conception of Justice and the Question of Human Dignity
AvMarek Piechowiak,Seweryn Blandzi
Inbunden, Engelska, 2019
785 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book is the first comprehensive study of Plato’s conception of justice. The universality of human rights and the universality of human dignity, which is recognised as their source, are among the crucial philosophical problems in modern-day legal orders and in contemporary culture in general. If dignity is genuinely universal, then human beings also possessed it in ancient times. Plato not only perceived human dignity, but a recognition of dignity is also visible in his conception of justice, which forms the core of his philosophy. Plato’s «Republic» is consistently interpreted here as a treatise on justice, relating to an individual and not to the state. The famous myth of the cave is a story about education taking place in the world here and now. The best activity is not contemplation, but acting for the benefit of others. Not ideas, but individuals are the proper objects of love. Plato’s philosophy may provide foundations for modern-day human rights protection rather than for totalitarian orders.

Jerusalem as the Text of Culture
AvDorota Muszytowska,Janusz Kręcidłom. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2018
909 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Jerusalem as a theme of this collection of essays evokes multidimensional reflections and enters the ongoing discourse concerning this particular city and forms of its appearance in culture. The book is divided into four parts that reflect four questions relating to the Holy City. The first one concerns the meaning of Jerusalem in the Bible understood as the shared text for Jews and Christians. The second one addresses the issue of the understanding of Jerusalem in Jewish non-biblical tradition. The third one examines the pilgrims’ accounts derived from different backgrounds and inherited narrations. The fourth question refers to cultural aspects that transcend the purely religious life.

From Paideia to High Culture
A Philosophical-Anthropological Approach
AvImelda Chłodna-Błach,Seweryn Blandzi
Inbunden, Engelska, 2020
645 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The purpose of this book is to show the philosophical and anthropological foundation of the dispute about culture, especially in the perspective of the opposition between high and low culture. By analysing the most important achievements of Western philosophical reflection, from the Greeks and Romans through medieval scholasticism to Christian personalism, the author defends the concept of high culture and reveals its metaphysical significance for the human condition. The book also brings out the meaning of the concept of culture, shedding new light upon the long-disputed philosophical questions: who is the creator and subject of culture, what is culture in its essence, and what is its superior purpose?
Del 7 - Philosophy and Cultural Studies Revisited / Historisch-genetische Studien zur Philosophie und Kulturgeschichte
REALIST-AXIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES AND IMAGES OF SOCIAL LIFE
AvArkadiusz Jabłoński,Jan Szymczyk
Inbunden, Engelska, 2020
794 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The book offers an interpretation of social life developed during a century of sociological thought at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. It accounts for both objective ideas and the subjective (authorial) role played by the scholars who developed these ideas. Such an approach results in a perspective – developed through individual research and never-ending academic dialogue – that provides a comprehensive vision of social life. According to the authors, sociological research must follow two major principles to develop in a rational manner. First, it must be considered an independent field of study; second, it must be strictly connected with philosophy. It is philosophy that allows researchers to orient themselves when confronted with complex phenomena; it provides “terms” enabling them to gradually approach truth; when rooted in sociological research, it creates a comprehensive image of social reality.

Pseudo-Dionysius and Gregory Palamas
The Byzantine Synthesis of Eastern Patristics
AvAgnieszka Świtkiewicz-Blandzi,Seweryn Blandzi
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
657 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The study shows the reception of the views of Pseudo-Dionysius Areopagite by Gregory Palamas. The author presents the doctrinal context of Palamas' dispute with Barlaam from Calabria on the possibility of knowing God, the most important issue in 14th-century Byzantium. The author distances herself from many previous interpretations of this problem. She proves that, considering how much Palamas succumbed or did not succumb to the Areopagite or “corrected” his position, he has a very weak doctrinal basis. The author notices that over-emphasizing Dionysius' dependence on the Neoplatonic tradition does not lead to a solution to the problem. Palamas' teachings are placed in the context of the traditions of the Christian East and their relation to the thoughts of the Areopagite himself.

Arithmetic in the Thought of Gerbert of Aurillac
AvMarek Otisk,Seweryn Blandzi
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
588 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The book deals with Gerbert of Aurillac (Pope Sylvester II) and his investigations in the field of theoretical (philosophy of numbers) and practical (counting) arithmetic. The book represents the comprehensive inquiry of both these aspects of arithmetic in his thought. The analysed sources are Gerbert’s so-called scientific letters written to his friends, colleagues or pupils, and also including some of his other texts. On this basis, attention is paid to arithmetic as the mother of all sciences and as the path to wisdom (e.g., the so-called Saltus Gerberti, relation between arithmetic and other disciplines of the quadrivium, etc.) and also to practical arithmetic (e.g., the introduction of Hindu-Arabic numerals and the re-introduction of a new form of abacus to the Latin Christian West).

On the Paradox of Cognition
AvEwa Szumilewicz,Seweryn Blandzi
Inbunden, Engelska, 2021
496 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Cognition is a paradoxical process, from the moment of the formation of human subjectivity, through its relationship with the Other (or more precisely: l'autre) and with the world, to the ontological status of the world as such. This is what this book has at stake.The book deals with selected aspects of poststructural thought which are introduced into the language of contemporary science, prose, and poetry. Such an enterprise is possible by treating philosophy, science, and poetry as languages which can try to enter into a dialogue through metaphors. This is the ground on which the project is implemented.
