Frederick c copleston (193 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The book was inspired by the author's decades long obsession with both the 1942 and the 1982 versions of Cat People. If you haven't seen the films, the author suggests you do so immediately, in whichever order you prefer. In addition, the author would also like to acknowledge a debt to both Laird Hunt's The House in the Dark of the Woods, whose title he had fun riffing on throughout the novel, and Olga Ravn's My Work, which gave the author courage to play. Finally, the line on page 205 attributed to Irena that says, A free woman in an unfree society will become a monster, comes from Angela Carter's The Sadeian Woman and the Ideology of Pornography.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Conceived originally as a serious presentation of the development of philosophy for Catholic seminary students, Frederick Copleston's nine-volume A History Of Philosophy has journeyed far beyond the modest purpose of its author to universal acclaimas the best history of philosophy in English. Copleston, an Oxford Jesuit of immense erudition who once tangled with A.J. Ayer in a fabled debate about the existence of God and the possibility of metaphysics, knew that seminary students were fed a woefully inadequate diet of theses and proofs, and that their familiarity with most of history's great thinkers was reduced to simplistic caricatures. Copleston set out to redress the wrong by writing a complete history of Western philosophy, one crackling with incident and intellectual excitement - and one that gives full place to each thinker, presenting his thought in a beautifully rounded manner and showing his links to those who came after him.…

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. Die deutsche Rechtsgeschichte hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten den Rechtsbegriff des Mittelalters unter neuen Paradigmen uberdacht und damit einen Beitrag zu einem neuen Bild des Mittelalters insgesamt geleistet. Die Aufsatze Gerhard Dilchers spielen in diesem Diskurs eine massgebende Rolle. Pragend fur diese Zeit war das typisch europaisch-mittelalterliche Spannungsfeld zwischen Oralitat und Schriftkultur. Dilcher untersucht etwa den mythischen Ursprung und die historische Herkunft als Legitimation mittelalterlicher Rechtsaufzeichnungen zwischen Leges und Sachsenspiegel. Auch der mittelalterliche Kaisergedanke als Rechtslegitimation wird thematisiert. Das langobardische Recht als typisches Volksrecht im italienischen Umfeld lateinischer Traditionen erweist sich als exemplarisch fur das Problemfeld Oralitat und Schriftlichkeit und wird in seiner Aussagekraft entfaltet und gegen einseitige Vereinnahmungen verteidigt.…
