He became headline news when he was kidnapped by fundamentalist Shi ite militiamen and held in the suburbs of Beirut for the next four and a half years. For much of that time he was shut off from all news and contact with anyone other than his jailers and, later, his fellow hostages, amongst them John McCarthy.

A deluxe, high-quality edition of Friedrich Nietzscheâ ™s seminal work Beyond Good and Evil is one of the final books by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. This landmark work continues to be one of the most well-known and influential explorations of moral and ethical philosophy ever conceived. Expanding on the concepts from his previous work Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche adopts a polemic approach to past philosophers who, in his view, lacked critical sense in accepting flawed premises in their consideration of morality. The metaphysics of morality, Nietzsche argues, should not assume that a good man is simply the opposite of an evil man, rather merely different expression of humanityâ ™s common basic impulses. Controversial in its time, as well as hotly debated in the present, Nietzscheâ ™s work moves beyond conventional ethics to suggest that a universal morality for all human beings in non-existent â “ perception, reason and experience are not static, but change according to an individualâ ™s perspective and interpretation. The work further argues that philosophic traditions such as â œtruth,⠝ â œself-consciousness⠝ and â œfree will⠝ are merely inventions of Western morality and that the â œwill to power⠝ is the real driving force of all human behaviour. This volume: Critiques the belief that actions, including domination or injury to the weak, can be universally objectionableExplores themes of religion and â œmaster and slave⠝ moralityIncludes a collection of stunning aphorisms and observations of the human condition Part of the bestselling Capstone Classics Series edited by Tom Butler-Bowdon,this collectible, hard-back edition of Beyond Good and Evil provides an accessible and insightful Introduction by leading Nietzsche authority Dr Christopher Janaway. This deluxe volume is perfect for anyone with interest in philosophy, psychology, science, history and literature.Â

Oliver Keenan brings the medieval philosophy of Thomas Aquinas to life.Thomas Aquinas is more than a medieval curiosity. He was a reluctant revolutionary, a scholar, poet and saint whose work unleashed an epoch-defining explosion of philosophical creativity in the thirteenth century. Writing at a time of war, injustice, poverty and alienation, Aquinasâ ™ thought reaches across the ages and speaks to us today.As Oliver Keenan argues, Aquinas matters now not because he was right about everything but because he can teach us a new way of looking at the world. A powerful voice for community, justice, friendship and peace, Aquinasâ ™ profoundly non-violent philosophy shows us how to be human in a deeply dehumanizing world. The era that he knew was defined by conflict and divisive politics, much like our own â “ his unfailing belief in the power of communication to overcome alienation and despair is an important lesson for us all.This book brings Aquinasâ ™ challenging but deeply rewarding philosophy to life for readers new to his work, as well as those already familiar. Oliver Keenan has spent his working life researching and engaging with Thomas Aquinas, culminating in this moving and original account of why he matters now â “ perhaps more than ever.

A media history of how the UK and US governments have surveilled citizens by intercepting their private communications.It may not be Big Brother (yet), but the state is watching you—watching all of us, in fact, systematically intercepting our private communications and putting them to work in its own interests. In Interception, a media genealogy of the surveillance state at its most intimate, Bernard Keenan investigates the emergence of this practice as a governmental power, and the secret role it has played in the development of communication systems and law. His book exposes the complex, largely obscure history of a covert and fundamental connection between the secret powers of the state and the means by which we communicate our everyday lives. Keenan analyzes key moments in this history, from the formation of the postal system to cable networks, satellites, and the internet, with particular attention to the role that media play in determining the political and legal conditions of the power of interception in governmental affairs. While chiefly focused on Britain, the Empire, and the post-1945 UK-USA signal intelligence alliance, the book’s analysis has international reach across networks and jurisdictions, connecting Edward Snowden’s disclosures, and post-2013 developments, to a longer media history, foregrounding the technical dimensions of an inherently secret practice and well-guarded political power. Ultimately, Keenan’s work reveals how law and information systems have been interpolated over time, linking communication, governmental power, law, and information science—often to dark, anti-democratic ends.

What a delicious read Tasha SuriA TALE FOR ANYONE WHO S EVER FALLEN FOR THE VILLAIN... When her whole life collapsed, Rae still had books. Dying, she seizes a second chance at living: a magical bargain that lets her enter the world of her favourite fantasy series. She wakes in a castle on the edge of a hellish chasm, in a kingdom on the brink of war. Home to dangerous monsters, scheming courtiers and her favourite fictional character: the Once and Forever Emperor. He s impossibly alluring, as only fiction can be. And in this fantasy world, she discovers she s not the heroine, but the villainess in the Emperor s tale. So be it. The wicked are better dressed, with better one-liners, even if they re doomed to bad ends. She assembles the wildly disparate villains of the story under her evil leadership, plotting to change their fate. But as the body count rises and the Emperor s fury increases, it seems Rae and her allies may not survive to see the final page.This adult epic fantasy debut from Sarah Rees Brennan puts the reader in the villain s shoes, for an adventure that is both brilliant (Holly Black) and supremely satisfying (Leigh Bardugo).

Perennially on the outside, Brian has led a solitary life; he works at Camden Council, lunches every day at Il Castelletto café and then returns to his small flat on Kentish Town Road. It is an existence carefully crafted to avoid disturbance and yet Brian yearns for more. A visit one day to the BFI brings film into his life, and Brian introduces a new element to his routine: nightly visits to the cinema on London⠙s South Bank. Through the works of Yasujirō Ozu, Federico Fellini, Agnes Varda, Yilmaz Güney and others, Brian gains access to a rich cultural landscape outside his own experience, but also achieves his first real moments of belonging, accepted by a curious bunch of amateur film buffs, the small informal group of BFI regulars. A tender meditation on friendship and the importance of community, Brian is also a tangential work of film criticism, one that is not removed from its subject matter, but rather explores with great feeling how art gives meaning to and enriches our lives.

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring We regularly encounter appalling wrongdoing, with the media offering a depressing parade of violent assault, rape, and murder. Yet sometimes even the cynical and world-weary amongst us are taken aback. Sometimes we confront a crime so terrible, so horrendous, so deeply wrong, that we reach for the word evil . The 9/11 terrorist attacks were not merely wrong, but evil. A serial killer who tortures his victims is not merely a bad person. He is evil. And as the Holocaust showed us, we must remain vigilant against the threat of evil. But what exactly is evil? If we use the word evil , are we buying into a naive Manichean worldview, in which two cosmic forces of good and evil are pitted against one another? Are we guilty of demonizing our enemies? How does evil go beyond what is merely bad or wrong? This Very Short Introduction explores the answers that philosophers have offered to these questions. Luke Russell discusses why some philosophers think that evil is a myth or a fantasy, while others think that evil is real, and is a concept which plays an important role in contemporary secular morality. Along the way he asks whether evil is always horrific and incomprehensible, or if it can be banal. Considering if there is a special psychological hallmark that sets the evildoers apart from the rest of us, Russell also engages with ongoing discussions over psychopathy and empathy, analysing the psychology behind evildoing.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Audiokniha: Na Helikonii, planetě obíhající kolem binárních sluncí, trvá Velký rok dva tisíce šest set let pozemského času: lidská civilizace se vzmáhá zjara, vzkvétá během období léta a téměř zaniká s nástupem zimy, jež přetrvává po mnoho lidských generací. Právě přichází jaro a Helikonie se pomalu probouzí z předlouhého sevření mrazu. Kmeny rovníkového kontinentu vycházejí z úkrytů, v nichž zdecimovány na minimum přečkaly nepříznivé klima a opětovně začínají soupeřit o nadvládu nad planetou s divokými tvory chladu – fagory. A v jedné z vesnic, Oldorandu, znovu objevují řemesla, obchod, zemědělství, mince i nové rozměry mezilidských vztahů… Román Helikonie – Jaro je úvodním svazkem skvělé Helikonské trilogie, monumentální ságy, která svým měřítkem přesahuje všechno, co jeden z největších mistrů imaginace a žánru science fiction kdy napsal. ŽIVOTNÍ DÍLO VELMISTRA SCIENCE FICTION! Strhující epos o planetě trpící střídáním smrtelně nebezpečných extrémů. Staletí trvající zima odsoudí celé civilizace k záhubě. Do jara se probouzí svět nezatížený minulostí, a přesto jej čeká stejný osud… Vhání čtenáře střemhlav k úžasu. Trilogie, která disponuje monumentální noblesou. — THE TIMES Fantazie Briana Aldisse nezná hranic a staví jeho trilogii o planetě Helikonii vysoko nad běžnou sci-fi. Ba daleko za hranice žánru! — DAILY MAIL Brian Wilson Aldiss se narodil v roce 1925 v anglickém Norfolku. Během své dlouhé a úspěšné spisovatelské kariéry publikoval oceňované science fiction (dvě ceny Hugo, cena Nebula a John W. Campbell Memorial Award); bestsellery populární literatury, experimentální literaturu a mnoho dalších kultovních a průkopnických děl, včetně toho nejznámějšího – trilogie Helikonie. Vždy vyzýval mysl čtenářů k zamyšlení, a tak nikoho nemůže překvapit ekologický přesah jeho děl a zamyšlení nad důsledky klimatické změny dlouho před tím, než se staly tyto úvahy součástí mainstreamu. Připravil mnoho úspěšných antologií a je i autorem velkolepých dějin science fiction Billion Year Spree, později přepracovaných jako Trillion Year Spree. Českým čtenářům je znám z románů Skleník, Nonstop, Pokolení starců či Temné světelné roky. Z mnoha jeho povídek je zřejmě nejznámější Superhračky vydrží celé léto, kterou pro film adaptoval Stanley Kubrick a po Kubrickově smrti ji produkoval a režíroval Steven Spielberg pod názvem A.I. – Umělá inteligence. Brian Wilson Aldiss zemřel v roce 2017 ve věku 92 let. Filip Jančík (* 1974) je český herec, dabér i dabingový režisér. V 18 letech hrál ve filmu Záhada hlavolamu a o rok později ve filmu Vekslák aneb staré zlaté časy. Pracuje pro dabingové studio S-Pro Alfa.

Dylanu Moranovi se jedné deštivé noci zhroutil svět: jeho auto pohltila rozvodněná řeka a pod hladinou zůstala jeho milovaná žena. Od té doby se Dylan utápí v žalu, zároveň však zažívá děsivé vize: kamkoli jde, pronásleduje ho on sám. Připisuje to prožitému traumatu, pak se však setká s psycholožkou, která mu tvrdí, že Dylan už delší dobu podstupuje speciální léčbu. Ta je založena na myšlence, že každá volba, kterou v životě učiní, stvoří nekonečné množství paralelních světů. V některých je Dylan šťastný. V jiných se stane vrahem.

Brian Freeman vyrostl v oblasti California Bay Area v San Mateo (Kalifornie). Navštěvoval Carleton College v Minnesotě, kde v roce 1984 absolvoval. Freeman začal psát v mladém věku. Jeho učitel na střední škole, který si všiml jeho lásky k řemeslu, ho povzbudil, aby seděl v rohu a psal svůj příběh, místo aby se řídil učebním plánem. Ve 13 letech dokončil svůj první román.

Matematický kosmolog Brian Swimme se ve Skrytém srdci kosmu zamýšlí nad tím, jak dnešního člověka - a zvláště naše děti - vymanit z uvěznění, do nějž byli v moderní době uzavřeni úzce materialistickým pohledem na svět a konzumním způsobem života, a jak je otevřít novému kontaktu s vesmírem. Přesněji řečeno, jak nás znovu do vesmíru iniciovat. Taková iniciace není jen intelektuální záležitostí, nestačí pouze studovat vzrušující fakta a teorie nového kosmologického příběhu, ale je nezbytné tento nový příběh žít; což předpokládá proměnu navyklých vzorců našeho vnímání, hlubokou transformaci subjektivity. Brian Swimme v této souvislosti navrhuje různé způsoby, jak nové vědecké porozumění dynamickému evolučnímu vesmíru, které často vzdoruje naší přirozené intuici, integrovat do našeho vnímání a tělesného prožívání. Skryté srdce kosmu je velmi potřebný, hutný a přehledný úvod do nové kosmologie, která dramaticky transformuje naše porozumění vesmíru i porozumění povaze a osudu lidstva. Swimme zvláštním osvětlujícím způsobem zkoumá hluboká tajemství kosmu a má vzácný dar, jak integrovat vědu s vědomím posvátného. --- Steven Rockefeller, Middelbury College Brian Swimme, vynikající vědec, nám odhaluje v této knize zázrak a krásu a okouzlující vlastnosti světa kolem nás. Jen takový vesmír, vesmír odhalovaný takovým lyrickým jazykem, může naše duše zachránit, protože toto je prvotní odhalení samotného božství. --- Thomas Berry, autor The Dream of the Earth / Sen země Aniž by čtenáře zatěžoval technickými pojmy, Brian Swimme sděluje v této knize základní myšlenky moderní kosmologie a současně vyjadřuje vědomí naší sounáležitosti s kosmem. --- Fritjof Capra, autor Tao fyziky

Confronting Evil is not for the timid. The concept of evil is universal, ancient, and ever present today. The biblical book of Genesis clearly defines it when Cain kills his brother Abel out of jealousy. As long as human beings have walked, evil has been close by.This book will recount the deeds of the worst people in history: Genghis Khan. Caligula. Henry VIII. The collective evil of the slave traders. Stalin. Hitler. Mao. The Ayatollah Khomeini. Putin. The Mexican drug cartels. Their stories starkly display how some of the worst events in history unfolded.Confronting Evil explains the struggle between good and evil, a choice every person in the Judeo-Christian tradition is compelled to make. But many defer. We avoid the decision. We look away. It s easier.Prepare yourself to read the consequences of that inaction. As John Stuart Mill said in his inaugural address to the University of St. Andrews in 1867: “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.

Friedrich Nietzsche s Beyond Good and Evil is translated from the German by R.J. Hollingdale with an introduction by Michael Tanner in Penguin Classics. Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche s position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a slave morality . With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own will to power upon the world. This edition includes a commentary on the text by the translator and Michael Tanner s introduction, which explains some of the more abstract passages in Beyond Good and Evil. Frederich Nietzsche (1844-1900) became the chair of classical philology at Basel University at the age of 24 until his bad health forced him to retire in 1879. He divorced himself from society until his final collapse in 1899 when he became insane. A powerfully original thinker, Nietzsche s influence on subsequent writers, such as George Bernard Shaw, D.H. Lawrence, Thomas Mann and Jean-Paul Sartre, was considerable. If you enjoyed Beyond Good and Evil you might like Nietzsche s Thus Spoke Zarathustra, also available in Penguin Classics.

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on Divine Wisdom and the Problem of Evil is a translation of selections from two of Ibn Qayyim s books, Key to the Blissful Abode (Miftah dar al-sa ada) and Remedy for Those who Question on Matters Concerning Divine Decree, Predestination, Wisdom and Causality (Shifa al- alil fi masa il al-qada wa l-qadar wa l-hikma wa l-ta lil). As with all his other writings, Ibn al-Qayyim s foremost goal is to establish the wisdom of God, the primacy of the Qur an and Sunna, and the congruity between reason and revelation. In the present selections, Ibn al-Qayyim focuses on the application of the wisdom of God to the existence of evil.Ibn al-Qayyim first discusses twenty-six wise purposes behind God creating humanity and settling them on Earth. His perspective is that whatever exists in this world is either purely or preponderantly good, or indirectly leads to a greater good. Ibn Qayyim then explores how the presence of evil allows the manifestation of many of God s Beautiful Names, glorious attributes and compassionate actions; while, for humanity, the existence of evil provides the righteous with opportunities to strive against it, for Paradise can only be reached by traversing a bridge of hardships and tribulations .The discussion of the existence of evil is followed by thirty wise purposes and secrets in God allowing people to sin. Prominent among them are that God loves repentance and loves to manifest His Attributes of forgiveness and mercy. Here, Ibn al-Qayyim also debates at length whether the punishment of Hellfire will be eternal or whether it will come to an end. He favours the latter position in accordance with the Qur anic verse 107 of the Chapter Hud and because of God s mercy.
