(P/B) MANHOOD AND POLITICS
A FEMINIST READING IN POLITICAL THEORY
Εκδότης: ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3678-0114

Until recently, the realm of politics has been limited almost exclusively to men. Wendy Brown, with an unerring aim for the essential, exposes the historical link between men's politics and the character and content of the political thought and practice of a gender-divided world. This feminist analysis of Western political thought goes straight to the heart of the matter-bypassing die "woman issue"-to lay bare, with irresistible logic, the development of the ideal of man and manhood and its influence on the ontological basis of Western pol...

(P/B) ECONOMICS OF THE UNDEAD
ZOMBIES, VAMPIRES, AND THE DISMAL SCIENCE
Εκδότης: ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3678-0104

Whether preparing us for economic recovery after the zombie apocalypse, analyzing vampire investment strategies, or illuminating the market forces that affect vampire-human romances, Economics of the Undead: Zombies, Vampires, and the Dismal Science gives both seasoned economists and layman readers something to sink their teeth into. Undead characters have terrified popular audiences for centuries, but when analyzed closely, their behaviors and stories - however farfetched - mirror our own in surprising ways. The essays collected in this b...

LIBERY, EQUALITY, SOLIDARITY

Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3678-0090

(P/B) GREEK ENDGAME
FROM AUSTERITY TO GROWTH OR GREXIT?
Εκδότης: ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3678-0103

The book explores in depth both the origins of the Greek debt crisis and the conditions under which the economy might be turned around from its current malaise. Greek debt turned explosive after the 2008 global crisis, through a combination of a fiscal spree and domestic policy complacency, but the unpreparedness and indecision of the European Union intensified the problem of liquidity and a massive bail-out agreement became inevitable. However, the stringencies of the adjustment program led to more recession and unemployment, while socia...

(P/B) THE LONG WAY
Εκδότης: ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3678-0112

The Long Way is Bernard Moitessier's own incredible story of his participation in the first Golden Globe Race, a solo, non-stop circumnavigation rounding the three great Capes of Good Hope, Leeuwin, and the Horn. For seven months, the veteran seafarer battled storms, doldrums, gear-failures, knock-downs, as well as overwhelming fatigue and loneliness. Then, nearing the finish, Moitessier pulled out of the race and sailed on for another three months before ending his 37,455-mile journey in Tahiti. Not once had he touched land. (From the pub...

VALUE-BASED ANALYSES OF THE WORLD HERITAGE AND INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE CONVENTIONS
Εκδότης: ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3678-0111

The discussion departs from considerations of the World Heritage Conventio...

(P/B) ALEKSANDR SOLZHENITSYN
THE ASCENT FROM IDEOLOGY
Εκδότης: ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3678-0110

In Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Daniel Mahoney presents a philosophical perspective on the political condition of modern man through an exegesis and analysis of Solzhenitsyn's work. Mahoney demonstrates the tremendous, yet often unappreciated, impact of Sozhenitsyn's writing on twentieth century thinking through an examination of the writer's profoundly important critique of communist totalitarianism in a judicious and original mix of western and Russian, Christian and classical wisdom.

(P/B) ART'S PHILOSOPHICAL WORK
Εκδότης: ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3678-0098

What is the work of art? How does art work as art? Andrew Benjamin contends that the only way to address these questions is by developing a radically new materialist philosophy of art, and by rethinking the history of art from within that perspective. A materialist philosophy of art starts with the contention that meaning is only ever the after effect of the way in which materials work. Starting with the relation between history, materials and work (art's work), this book opens up a highly original reconfiguration of the philosophy of art....

(P/B) UNCOMMON SENSE
THE STRANGEST IDEAS FROM THE SMARTEST PHILOSOPHERS
Εκδότης: ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3678-0089

In Uncommon Sense, Andrew Pessin leads us on an entertaining tour of philosophy, explaining the pivotal moments when the greatest minds solved some of the knottiest conundrums - by asserting some very strange things. But the great philosophers don't merely make unusual claims, they offer powerful arguments for those claims that you can't easily dismiss. And these arguments suggest that the world is much stranger than you could have imagined: You neither will, nor won't, do certain things in the future, like wear your blue shirt tomorrow. ...

(P/B) THE EVOLUTION OF HUMAN SOCIALITY
A DARWINIAN CONFLICT PERSPECTIVE
Εκδότης: ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3678-0105

This book attempts a broad theoretical synthesis within the field of sociology and its closely allied sister discipline of anthropology. It draws together what the author considers the best of these disciplines' theoretical approaches into a synthesized theory called Darwinian conflict theory. This theory, in the most general sense, is a synthesis of the tradition of economic and ecological materialism and conflict theory stemming from Marx, Marvin Harris, and the tradition of biological materialism deriving from Darwin. The first half of ...

(P/B) PHILOSOPHY, MYTH AND EPIC CINEMA
BEYOND MERE ILLUSIONS
Εκδότης: ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3678-0095

Philosophy, Myth and Epic Cinema looks at the power of cinema in creating ideas that inspire our culture. Sylvie Magerst?dt discusses the relationship between art, illusion and reality, a theme that has been part of philosophical debate for centuries. She argues that with the increase in use of digital technologies in modern cinema, this debate has entered a new phase. She discusses the notion of illusions as a system of stories and values that inspire a culture similar to other grand narratives, such as mythology or religion. Cinema thus ...

(P/B) HIGH COMEDY IN AMERICAN MOVIES
CLASS AND HUMOR FROM THE 1920S TO THE PRESENT
Εκδότης: ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3678-0108

High Comedy in American Movies explores the "comedy of manners" film throughout the twentieth century, from the advent of movie sound to recent films, and shows how class comedy's inside view of the aristocratic lifestyle has been influenced by the culture and times in which the movies are produced. Outlining the conventions of class comedy, Steve Vineberg discusses its British roots and analyzes how many American filmmakers have modified the genre, creating a distinctly American approach to class. Easily accessible, High Comedy in America...

(P/B) RECUPTURING SOPHOCLES' ANTIGONE
Εκδότης: ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3678-0063

In this book, Wm. Blake Tyrrell and Larry J. Bennett examine Sophocles' Antigone in the context of its setting in fifth-century Athens. The authors attempt to create an interpretive environment that is true to the issues and interests of fifth-century Athenians, as opposed to those of modern scholars and philosophers. As they contextualize the play in the dynamics of ancient Athens, the authors discuss the text of the Antigone in light of recent developments in the study of Greek antiquity and tragedy, and they turn to modern Greek rituals...

(P/B) ARENDT, LEVINAS AND A POLITICS OF RELATIONALITY
Εκδότης: ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3678-0097

Born in Eastern Europe, educated in the West under the guidance of Martin Heidegger and the phenomenological tradition, and forced to flee during the Holocaust because of their Jewish identity, it should come as no surprise that Emmanuel Levinas and Hannah Arendt's ideas intersect in an important way. This book demonstrates for the first time the significance of a dialogue between Levinas' ethics of alterity and Arendt's politics of plurality. Anya Topolski brings their respective projects into dialogue by means of the notion of relational...

(P/B) THE COSMOPOLITAN IDEAL
CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Εκδότης: ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3678-0100

Cosmopolitanism has resurfaced as a prominent perspective within philosophy and the social sciences. Its critics, though, suggest that contemporary cosmopolitanism is abstract and ultimately meaningless, or that it is the globalized expression of a very European, and modern, ideal. This book aims to develop a new cosmopolitanism: one that is critical, inclusive, and relevant for the twenty-first century. The first section considers why we should behave as cosmopolitans at all; why do we owe some concept of justice to those who are sufferin...
