(P/B) Healing Spaces
The Science of Place and Well-Being
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0049

Does the world make you sick? If the distractions and distortions around you, the jarring colors and sounds, could shake up the healing chemistry of your mind, might your surroundings also have the power to heal you? This is the question Esther Sternberg explores in "Healing Spaces", a look at the marvellously rich nexus of mind and body, perception and place. Sternberg immerses us in the discoveries that have revealed a complicated working relationship between the senses, the emotions, and the immune system. First among these is the story...

(H/B) The Shadow of God
Kant, Hegel, and the Passage from Heaven to History
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0050

A bold and beautifully written exploration of the "afterlife" of God, showing how apparently secular habits of mind in fact retain the structure of religious thought. Once in the West, our lives were bounded by religion. Then we were guided out of the darkness of faith, we are often told, by the cold light of science and reason. To be modern was to reject the religious for the secular and rational. In a bold retelling of philosophical history, Michael Rosen explains the limits of this story, showing that many modern and apparently secular ...

(H/B) A BRIEF HISTORY OF EQUALITY
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0042

It's easy to be pessimistic about inequality. We know it has increased dramatically in many parts of the world over the past two generations. No one has done more to reveal the problem than Thomas Piketty. Now, in this surprising and powerful new work, Piketty reminds us that the grand sweep of history gives us reasons to be optimistic. Over the centuries, he shows, we have been moving toward greater equality. Piketty guides us with elegance and concision through the great movements that have made the modern world for better and worse: th...

(H/B) THE GREEK REVOLUTION
A CRITICAL DICTIONARY
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0039

On the bicentennial of the Greek Revolution, an essential guide to the momentous war for independence of the Greeks from the Ottoman Empire. The Greek war for independence (1821-1830) often goes missing from discussion of the Age of Revolutions. Yet the rebellion against Ottoman rule was enormously influential in its time, and its resonances are felt across modern history. The Greeks inspired others to throw off the oppression that developed in the backlash to the French Revolution. And Europeans in general were hardly blind to the sight o...

(P/B) JUSTICE FOR HEDGEHOGS
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0009

The fox knows many things, the Greeks said, but the hedgehog knows one big thing. In his most comprehensive work, Ronald Dworkin argues that value in all its forms is one big thing: that what truth is, life means, morality requires, and justice demands are different aspects of the same large question. He develops original theories on a great variety of issues very rarely considered in the same book: moral skepticism, literary, artistic, and historical interpretation, free will, ancient moral theory, being good and living well, liberty, equ...

(P/B) WHAT WE OWE TO EACH OTHER
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0047

How do we judge whether an action is morally right or wrong? If an action is wrong, what reason does that give us not to do it? Why should we give such reasons priority over our other concerns and values? In this book, T. M. Scanlon offers new answers to these questions, as they apply to the central part of morality that concerns what we owe to each other. According to his contractualist view, thinking about right and wrong is thinking about what we do in terms that could be justified to others and that they could not reasonably reject. He...

(H/B) MAKE IT STICK
THE SCIENCE OF SUCCESSFUL LEARNING
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0023

To most of us, learning something "the hard way" implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier. Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Drawing on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and other disciplines, the authors offer concrete techniques for becoming more productive learners. Memory plays a central role in our ability to carry out complex cognitive tasks, such as ap...

(P/B) HOW TO BE GAY
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0046

No one raises an eyebrow if you suggest that a guy who arranges his furniture just so, rolls his eyes in exaggerated disbelief, likes techno music or show tunes, and knows all of Bette Davis's best lines by heart might, just possibly, be gay. But if you assert that male homosexuality is a cultural practice, expressive of a unique subjectivity and a distinctive relation to mainstream society, people will immediately protest. Such an idea, they will say, is just a stereotype-ridiculously simplistic, politically irresponsible, and morally sus...

(P/B) WALTER BENJAMIN
A CRITICAL LIFE
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0016

Walter Benjamin is one of the twentieth century's most important intellectuals, and also one of its most elusive. His writings - mosaics incorporating philosophy, literary criticism, Marxist analysis, and a syncretistic theology - defy simple categorization. And his mobile, often improvised existence has proven irresistible to mythologizers. His writing career moved from the brilliant esotericism of his early writings through his emergence as a central voice in Weimar culture and on to the exile years, with its pioneering studies of modern...

(P/B) COMMONWEALTH
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0001

When Empire appeared in 2000, it defined the political and economic challenges of the era of globalization and, thrillingly, found in them possibilities for new and more democratic forms of social organization. Now, with Commonwealth, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri conclude the trilogy begun with Empire and continued in Multitude, proposing an ethics of freedom for living in our common world and articulating a possible constitution for our common wealth. Drawing on scenarios from around the globe and elucidating the themes that unite them...

(H/B) CAPITAL AND IDEOLOGY
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0038

The epic successor to one of the most important books of the century: at once a retelling of global history, a scathing critique of contemporary politics, and a bold proposal for a new and fairer economic system. Thomas Piketty's bestselling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. In this audacious follow-up, Piketty challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history. He exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium, reveals why the shallow pol...

(P/B) MORAL DIMENSIONS
PERMISSIBILITY, MEANING, BLAME
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0048

In a clear and elegant style, T. M. Scanlon reframes current philosophical debates as he explores the moral permissibility of an action. Permissibility may seem to depend on the agent's reasons for performing an action. For example, there seems to be an important moral difference between tactical bombing and a campaign by terrorists - even if the same number of non-combatants are killed - and this difference may seem to lie in the agents' respective aims. However, Scanlon argues that the apparent dependence of permissibility on the agent's...

(P/B) PHILOSOPHICAL EXPLANATIONS
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0007

In this highly original work, Robert Nozick develops new views on philosophy's central topics and weaves them into a unified philosophical perspective. It is many years since a major work in English has ranged so widely over philosophy's fundamental concerns: the identity of the self, knowledge and skepticism, free will, the question of why there is something rather than nothing, the foundations of ethics, the meaning of life. Writing in a distinctive and personal philosophical voice, Mr. Nozick presents a new mode of philosophizing. In p...

(H/B) THEORY OF THE GIMMICK
AESTHETIC JUDGMENT AND CAPITALIST FORM
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0045

A provocative theory of the gimmick as an aesthetic category steeped in the anxieties of capitalism. Repulsive and yet strangely attractive, the gimmick is a form that can be found virtually everywhere in capitalism. It comes in many guises: a musical hook, a financial strategy, a striptease, a novel of ideas. Above all, acclaimed theorist Sianne Ngai argues, the gimmick strikes us both as working too little (a labor-saving trick) and as working too hard (a strained effort to get our attention). Focusing on this connection to work, Ngai dr...

(P/B) THE EARLY CHINESE EMPIRES
QIN AND HAN
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0040

In 221 bc the First Emperor of Qin unified the lands that would become the heart of a Chinese empire. Though forged by conquest, this vast domain depended for its political survival on a fundamental reshaping of Chinese culture. With this informative book, we are present at the creation of an ancient imperial order whose major features would endure for two millennia. The Qin and Han constitute the "classical period" of Chinese history--a role played by the Greeks and Romans in the West. Mark Edward Lewis highlights the key challenges faced...

(P/B) THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL
SNOW WHITE AND 21 TALES OF MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0043

The story of the rivalry between a beautiful, innocent girl and her equally beautiful and cruel mother has been endlessly repeated and refashioned all over the world. In Switzerland you might hear about seven dwarfs who shelter a girl, only to be murdered by robbers. In Armenia a mother orders her husband to kill his daughter because the moon has declared her "the most beautiful of all." The Brothers Grimm gave this story the name by which we know it best, and in 1937 Walt Disney sweetened their somber version to make the first feature-len...

(P/B) PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE ART OF CHANCE
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0044

Photography has a unique relationship to chance. Anyone who has wielded a camera has taken a picture ruined by an ill-timed blink or enhanced by an unexpected gesture or expression. Although this proneness to chance may amuse the casual photographer, Robin Kelsey points out that historically it has been a mixed blessing for those seeking to make photographic art. On the one hand, it has weakened the bond between maker and picture, calling into question what a photograph can be said to say. On the other hand, it has given photography an ext...

(H/B) THE RISE OF CHINA VS. THE LOGIC OF STRATEGY
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0030

As the rest of the world worries about what a future might look like under Chinese supremacy, Edward Luttwak worries about China's own future prospects. Applying the logic of strategy for which he is well known, Luttwak argues that the most populous nation on Earth - and its second largest economy - may be headed for a fall. For any country whose rising strength cannot go unnoticed, the universal logic of strategy allows only military or economic growth. But China is pursuing both goals simultaneously. Its military buildup and assertive fo...

(P/B) WAR BY OTHER MEANS
GEOECONOMICS AND STATECRAFT
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0041

Today, nations increasingly carry out geopolitical combat through economic means. Policies governing everything from trade and investment to energy and exchange rates are wielded as tools to win diplomatic allies, punish adversaries, and coerce those in between. Not so in the United States, however. America still too often reaches for the gun over the purse to advance its interests abroad. The result is a playing field sharply tilting against the United States. In a cogent analysis of why the United States is losing ground as a world power...

(P/B) INVARIANCES
THE STRUCTURE OF THE OBJECTIVE WORLD
Εκδότης: BELKNAP PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5311-0008

Recent scientific advances have placed many traditional philosophical concepts under great stress. In this pathbreaking book, the eminent philosopher Robert Nozick rethinks and transforms the concepts of truth, objectivity, necessity, contingency, consciousness, and ethics. Using an original method, he presents bold new philosophical theories that take account of scientific advances in physics, evolutionary biology, economics, and cognitive neuroscience, and casts current cultural controversies (such as whether all truth is relative and wh...
