K filosofii naděje


Naděje je to, co činí život snesitelnější. Ovšem dokáže být i metlou lidstva, jež člověka ohlupuje a zaslepuje tváří v tvář situaci vtěleného života ve sdíleném světě. A tak lze člověka vymezit též jako animal sperans: živočich doufající. Příspěvky k filosofickým tematizacím naděje u vybraných německých a francouzských filosofů 20. století nemohou, a ani nechtějí dané téma vyčerpat. Zastoupeny jsou kapitoly diskutující téma naděje z teologické i ateistické pozice, ze stanoviska idealistického, materialistického, antropologického i existenciálního. Nešlo opominout pravděpodobně největšího klasika filosofie naděje Ernsta Blocha, jehož hlavní dílo Princip naděje zavazuje k tomu věnovat mu pozornost a představuje patrně centrální pasáž knihy, jež si předsevzala pouze přivádět k zamyšlení nad tím, co pro nás dnes ještě znamená doufat.

Enforcing Normalcy


In this highly original study of the cultural assumptions governing our conception of people with disabilities, Lennard J. Davis argues forcefully against "ableist" discourse and for a complete recasting of the category of disability itself. Enforcing Normalcy surveys the emergence of a cluster of concepts around the term "normal" as these matured in western Europe and the United States over the past 250 years. Linking such notions to the concurrent emergence of discourses about the nation, Davis shows how the modern nation-state constructed its identity on the backs not only of colonized subjects, but of its physically disabled minority. In a fascinating chapter on contemporary cultural theory, Davis explores the pitfalls of privileging the figure of sight in conceptualizing the nature of textuality. And in a treatment of nudes and fragmented bodies in Western art, he shows how the ideal of physical wholeness is both demanded and denied in the classical aesthetics of representation. Enforcing Normalcy redraws the boundaries of political and cultural discourse. By insisting that disability be added to the familiar triad of race, class and gender, the book challenges progressives to expand the limits of their thinking about human oppression. Includes a new preface from the author.

How to Feel


A new translation of the Buddha’s teachings on mindfulness—and how it can help us to be less controlled by our emotionsTo feel is to suffer. But do we have to suffer as much as we do? Twenty-five hundred years ago, the Buddha discovered that practices of mindfully observing our feelings and emotions can help us gain some distance from them. In How to Feel, Maria Heim provides new translations of essential early Buddhist teachings on mindfulness meditation and connects them to recent findings in psychology and neuroscience. A superb meditation manual and insightful exploration of psychology, the book also provides a brief introduction to Buddhism and features the original Pali-language texts on facing pages. Drawing from the Samyutta Nikaya, an early canonical collection, How to Feel introduces Buddhist practices of mindfulness. Using them, we can watch feelings come and go like winds passing through the sky. We can observe what causes our negative emotions and learn to shift our attention to other things. We can see where emotions lead us and learn to redirect them. We will still feel, but, with practice, emotions will have less control over us. Just as they did in ancient India, the teachings in How to Feel offer today’s readers radically new and more enlightened ways to experience emotions.

A Philosophy of Beauty


An engaging account of how Shaftesbury revolutionized Western philosophyAt the turn of the eighteenth century, Anthony Ashley Cooper, the third Earl of Shaftesbury (1671–1713), developed the first comprehensive philosophy of beauty to be written in English. It revolutionized Western philosophy. In A Philosophy of Beauty, Michael Gill presents an engaging account of how Shaftesbury’s thought profoundly shaped modern ideas of nature, religion, morality, and art—and why, despite its long neglect, it remains compelling today. Before Shaftesbury’s magnum opus, Charactersticks of Men, Manners, Opinions, Times (1711), it was common to see wilderness as ugly, to associate religion with fear and morality with unpleasant restriction, and to dismiss art as trivial or even corrupting. But Shaftesbury argued that nature, religion, virtue, and art can all be truly beautiful, and that cherishing and cultivating beauty is what makes life worth living. And, as Gill shows, this view had a huge impact on the development of natural religion, moral sense theory, aesthetics, and environmentalism. Combining captivating historical details and flashes of humor, A Philosophy of Beauty not only rediscovers and illuminates a fascinating philosopher but also offers an inspiring reflection about the role beauty can play in our lives.

Fuji


A panoramic biography of Japan’s iconic mountain from the Ice Age to the presentMount Fuji is everywhere recognized as a wonder of nature and enduring symbol of Japan. Yet behind the picture-postcard image is a history filled with conflict and upheaval. Violent eruptions across the centuries wrought havoc and instilled fear. Long an object of worship, Fuji has been inhabited by deities that changed radically over time. It has been both a totem of national unity and a flashpoint for economic and political disputes. And while its soaring majesty has inspired countless works of literature and art, the foot of the mountain is home to military training grounds and polluting industries. Tracing the history of Fuji from its geological origins in the remote past to its recent inscription as a World Heritage Site, Andrew Bernstein explores these and other contradictions in the story of the mountain, inviting us to reflect on the relationships we share with the nonhuman world and one another.Beautifully illustrated, Fuji presents a rich portrait of one of the world’s most celebrated sites, revealing a mountain forever in the making and offering a meditation on the ability of landscape both to challenge and inspire.

Niternost a existence


Kniha mapuje celek Kierkegaardova myšlení. Především se zevrubně probírají tři stadia lidské existence – estetické, etické a náboženské. Člověk může přecházet z nižšího stadia k vyššímu stadiu, nebo spočinout ve stadiu nižším. Dále se probírají základní pojmy Kierkegaardova myšlení, zejména pojmy niternosti, existence, pravdy, svobody, úzkosti, opakování. Skrze tyto pojmy lze uchopit celek myslitelova díla. Kierkegaard vskutku rozvrhl cestu k existenciálnímu myšení. V knize je ukázána i spjatost tohoto myšlení s vlastní myslitelovou existencí. Cílem je hledání skutečného jedince, realizované existence pokoušející se žít v pravdě. Namísto Hegelovy dialektiky světových dějin Kierkegaard klade důraz na niternost člověka otevírajícího se opravdové víře. Na své cestě životem člověk dosahuje svého cíle, z nicoty svého zoufalství se zvedá k vrcholům života.

Fighting Fifteen


David McCampbell finally achieved his dream of active flight command when he was assigned to lead Fighter Squadron 15. But he had no idea what was really in store for him. With dizzying stakes, McCampbell and his men would ultimately help bring an end to the Pacific War. But when the squadron was established in 1943, most of its men were completely new to aerial combat. It was a shaky start for Air Group 15, with a string of deadly training crashes and an uncertain future. However, by the time the squadron formally entered World War II with a series of pulse-pounding island strikes, they were ready. Nicknamed ''Satan''s Playmates,'' during six critical months of combat, the squadron destroyed a record-setting 660 enemy planes across air and ground. Twenty six of the men-some barely out of their teenage years-would eventually become aces, ascending to an elite group of pilots and stamping their names in the history books. Expert military historian Stephen L. Moore places readers in the heart of the action, waiting with baited breath as pilots attempt to narrowly escape the clutches of the Japanese.

The Fraud


Using a cache of hitherto unseen documents and exclusive insider accounts, this sensational new book tells the story of how a shadowy group, Labour Together, came to the cusp of delivering Sir Keir Starmer to power in Britain. It reveals, for the first time, the way the project sabotaged Corbynism through covert plotting, propelled Starmer to Labour’s leadership and now, having crushed the left in the party, poses an imminent threat to British democracy as a whole. The Fraud reveals the chilling nature of Labour Together. Established in 2015, the project was created by ‘eight brave MPs’ who engaged in secret planning to wrest control of Labour. They included people who are now among the most senior members of Keir Starmer’s Shadow Cabinet: Rachel Reeves, Wes Streeting, Shabana Mahmood and Steve Reed. Morgan McSweeney, the guiding light behind Labour Together, is today one of the most powerful people in the Party, a key figure in selecting future parliamentary candidates. Holden describes how Labour Together pursued its objectives with a substantial pot of undeclared funding, which it used to secretly insert itself into the Labour Party’s ‘antisemitism crisis’ at a time when it was publicly maintaining a position of neutrality in the Party’s vicious factional-infighting. In these pages we see how Labour Together selected Keir Starmer to be its frontman, helping him win Labour’s leadership with the most mendacious campaign in recent political history. The Party under Starmer has since embraced the ugliest forms of racism and Islamophobia, and shared information hacked from journalists critical of its allies. The Labour Together project has subsequently transformed the Party into an authoritarian machine entirely intolerant of dissent, rowing back on an ocean of previous commitments and propagating an agenda of reheated austerity.

Cesta vzpomínkami


Prodlužování délky života zdůrazňuje potřebu prodloužit i jeho aktivní fázi. Je tedy potřeba seniorům poskytnout nejen zdravotní a materiální péči, ale také nabízet činnosti a programy zvyšující kvalitu života a udržující duševní svěžest. Autorka knihy vychází z praxe v pobytovém zařízení pro seniory a z potřeb klientů v terénu. Snaží se inspirovat a vést jak pečující osoby, tak ty, kdo se zamýšlejí nad prací se skupinou seniorů mimo sociální zařízení v občanských sdruženích, komunitních centrech nebo knihovnách. Na jednotlivých příkladech z praxe demonstruje, jak může vhodná aktivizace nejen zpomalit úbytek fyzických a duševních sil, ale někdy také zvrátit rezignaci a přinést celkové zlepšení.

Revolutions


Revolutions is a sparkling account of political upheaval and the power of history. We think of revolutions in terms of fleeting events, such as the Fall of the Bastille or the Storming of the Winter Palace. In reality they take decades to burn out, if they ever do. One of our great historians, Donald Sassoon, takes the long view of some of the most celebrated upheavals: the English Civil War, which killed a king; the American War of Independence, which ejected the British but allowed slavery to persist; the French Revolution, which produced the Rights of Man and years of instability; the national revolutions that unified Italy and Germany; and the Russian and Chinese revolutions, which transformed the twentieth century. Revolutions adroitly compares these historical juggernauts to the many rebellions, coups and tumults that time forgot. It is a history rich in irony and surprises. 'Yankee Doodle Dandy' was first sung by English troopers to make fun of dishevelled American colonials. The Long March of retreating Chinese Communists assumed a mythical dimension on a par with Washington crossing the Delaware. As Sassoon shows in this tour de force account, revolutions usually catch revolutionaries them-selves by surprise, and the consequences are difficult to fathom. Revolutions will change how you think about the transformative moments in history, both big and small.
