Exercises in the Elements Essays, Speeches, Notes

Free Download Josef Pieper, "Exercises in the Elements: Essays, Speeches, Notes"
English | ISBN: 158731231X | 2019 | 192 pages | EPUB | 249 KB
This title, which at first sight seems curious, shows Pieper’s philosophical work as rooted in the basics. He takes his inspiration from Plato – and his Socrates – and Thomas Aquinas. With them, he is interested in philosophy as pure theory, the theoretical being precisely the non-practical. The philosophizer wants to know what all existence is fundamentally about, what "reality" "really" means. With Plato, Pieper eschews the use of language to convince an audience of anything which is not the truth. If Plato was opposed to the sophists – amongst them the politicians -, Pieper is likewise opposed to discourse that leads to the "use" of philosophy to bolster a totalitarian regime or any political or economic system.

By  E-Books  0 Comments

Free Download Zubeda Jalalzai, "Washington Irving and Islam: Critical Essays"
English | ISBN: 1498569668 | 2018 | 136 pages | EPUB | 1096 KB
Washington Irving and Islam contributes to understanding the relationship between the United States and the Islamic world, valuable not only for studies of Washington Irving, American Literature, or Islam, but also for thinking through the role Islam and the "Orient" have played in American literature and history, a critical field receiving ever-increasing attention. The global context of Irving’s work ties these essays together as does an understanding that his writings challenge easy classification of the Muslim other, and, indeed, challenge easy classification of Irving’s own responses to that other. Washington Irving bestrides opposing positions as well as distant worlds.
