Timon Aténský - William Shakespeare, Thomas Middleton
Timon Aténský je méně známá hra, kterou Shakespeare napsal společně s Thomasem Middletonem. Podvojné autorství se promítá i do žánrové podvojnosti hry - kolísá mezi satirou a tragédií. Zatímco v prvním jednání Timon mluví řečí lásky a přátelství, od počátku čtvrtého jednání mluví řečí kleteb a proklínání. Co způsobí takovou změnu? Proč se Timonovi zhroutí celý svět a hodnotový řád s ním spjatý?

Thomas Reid - Malý průvodce - Petr Glombíček
Skotské osvícenství představuje fascinující kapitolu evropských kulturních dějin. Svým vlivem se může měřit s obdobným hnutím ve Francii nebo Německu. Texty ve Skotsku působících intelektuálů, jako byli David Hume, Adam Smith, Thomas Reid, Francis Hutcheson nebo Alexander Gerard, se hned od okamžiku svého vydání četly a probíraly nejen ve zbytku Velké Británie, ale také ve Francii a Německu, a to s trvalým vlivem. V knize najdete čtyři samostatné menší i rozsáhlejší studie k tématům filosofie Thomase Reida, jež by mohla upoutat zájem naší odborné veřejnosti a studentů. První z nich uvádí čtenáře do Reidova života a díla v nejužším kontextu a soustřeďuje se na vysvětlení jeho zařazení jako hlavy skotské školy zdravého rozumu. Druhá kapitola se věnuje Reidově kritice Humovy filosofie. Třetí se snaží objasnit Reidovo zacházení s ústředním pojmem jeho filosofie, totiž common sense. Poslední a nejdelší text upozorňuje na obzvlášť opomíjenou oblast Reidovy filosofie, totiž na jeho estetickou teorii.

The Essential Philosophical Works - David Hume
With an introduction by Charlotte R. Brown and William Edward Morris. David Hume (1711-1776) was the most important philosopher ever to write in English, as well as a master stylist.This volume contains his major philosophical works. A Treatise of Human Nature (1739-1740), published while Hume was still in his twenties, consists of three books on the understanding, the passions, and morals. It applies the experimental method of reasoning to human nature in a revolution that was intended to make Hume the Newton of the moral sciences.Disappointed with the Treatise s failure to bring about such a revolution, Hume later recast Book I as An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding (1751), and Book III as An Enquiry concerning the Principles of Morals, which he regarded as incomparably the best of all his works. Both Enquiries went through several editions in his lifetime. Hume s works, controversial in his day, remain deeply and widely influential in ours, especially for his contributions to our understanding of the nature of morality, political and economic theory, philosophy of religion, and philosophical naturalism.This volume also includes Hume s anonymous Abstract of Books I and II of the Treatise, and the short autobiographical essay, My Own Life , which he wrote just before his death.

An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding - David Hume
Commit it then to the flames: for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion. Thus ends David Hume s Enquiry concerning Human Understanding, the definitive statement of the greatest philosopher in the English language. His arguments in support of reasoning from experience, and against the sophistry and illusion of religiously inspired philosophical fantasies, caused controversy in the eighteenth century and are strikingly relevant today, when faith and science continue to clash.The Enquiry considers the origin and processes of human thought, reaching the stark conclusion that we can have no ultimate understanding of the physical world, or indeed our own minds. In either sphere we must depend on instinctive learning from experience, recognizing our animal nature and the limits of reason. Hume s calm and open-minded scepticism thus aims to provide a new basis for science, liberating us from the superstition of false metaphysics and religion. His Enquiry remains one of the best introductions to the study of philosophy, and this edition places it in its historical and philosophical context. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Pojednání o lidské přirozenosti 3 - Morálka - David Hume
Ve třetí a závěrečné knize svého slavného Pojednání o lidské přirozenosti předkládá Hume veřejnosti morální filosofii. Hume svoji koncepci morálky zaměřuje na pojem morálního charakteru a ctnosti, přičemž přichází se zásadním rozlišením morálních ctností na ctnosti přirozené a uměle vytvořené. V nauce o sympatii z obecného hlediska Hume následně nabízí své řešení problému objektivity morálního soudu a při zpracování nauky o umělých ctnostech - spravedlnosti orientované na pojem vlastnictví, cti a občanské poslušnosti - poskytuje významný příspěvek filosofii práva a politické filosofii. Plně sekulární charakter Humovy morálky představuje i dnes jeden z nejdůležitějších milníků ve vývoji evropského etického myšlení.

A Treatise of Human Nature - David Hume
One of the most significant works of Western philosophy, Hume s Treatise was published in 1739-40, before he was thirty years old. A pinnacle of English empiricism, it is a comprehensive attempt to apply scientific methods of observation to a study of human nature, and a vigorous attack upon the principles of traditional metaphysical thought. With masterly eloquence, Hume denies the immortality of the soul and the reality of space; considers the manner in which we form concepts of identity, cause and effect; and speculates upon the nature of freedom, virtue and emotion. Opposed both to metaphysics and to rationalism, Hume s philosophy of informed scepticism sees man not as a religious creation, nor as a machine, but as a creature dominated by sentiment, passion and appetite.

Dialogy o přirozenosti náboženství - David Hume
Dialogy o přirozeném náboženství jsou Humeovým nejdůležitějším příspěvkem k filozofii náboženství a jedním z klíčových novověkých textů tohoto oboru. Tématem knihy jsou teze tzv. přirozeného náboženství, které tvoří doplněk principů a pouček zjeveného náboženství. Bádání v rámci přirozeného náboženství si klade za cíl odpovědět na otázku, co můžeme zjistit o existenci Boha a o jeho atributech čistě pomocí rozumové úvahy a smyslové evidence. Toto bádání není založeno na tvrzeních Bible či jiných posvátných textů a nebere v potaz svědectví o zjeveních, zázracích či jakýchkoli jiných nadpřirozených jevech. V rozhovorech tří vzdělaných přátel Hume zkoumá základy náboženské víry a míru jejího racionálního opodstatnění. Rozvíjí kritiku některých tradičních argumentů pro Boží existenci, zejména tzv. teleologického argumentu, jehož podrobný rozbor zabírá velkou část textu. Jeho cílem však nebylo popřít, že Bůh existuje - nebyl ateista v současném slova smyslu. Chtěl jen ukázat, že o Božích vlastnostech a způsobu jeho zasahování do světa nemůžeme s jistotou říci téměř vůbec nic. Hume se v díle dotýká i dalších důležitých témat tradičně probíraných v rámci filozofie náboženství, například problému přítomnosti zla ve světě. Pro svou důmyslnou kompozici dílo dodnes zůstává interpretační výzvou pro laické čtenáře i specializované badatele.

The Fairfax Way - Thomas David
Even those who have heard of Prem Watsa and Fairfax Financial probably don t understand them. The company sprawls across more than 100 countries and is known for its complex finances - so complex, they once attracted a who s-who of Wall Street short sellers who misread the company as the next Enron and decided it could be profitably pushed into an open grave. The hedge funds even had Bob Dylan lined up to sing at the company s funeral party. Fairfax stared down regulators and fought back. Dylan never got the chance to sing. Watsa, now 75, stole a page from Warren Buffett in building a 45 billion dollar global empire built on value investing and insurance assets. Its bold and creative trades are legendary, often moving against the herd and making billions while others lose their shirts. These days, the company is back winning billion-dollar bets, but away from the headlines. The Fairfax Way explores the lessons learned and why skies are now blue above a transformed company. In its 39-year history, Fairfax s annual compound return of 19.2% trounces the S P 500 s 11.3%. Lately, it is outperforming even Silicon Valley tech stocks and winning back an investor following. It s time to get to know Fairfax better. The company s holdings include strategic investments like Bauer hockey sticks, William Ashley wedding gifts, Sleep Country mattresses, Golf Town stores, and Seaspan container ships. If you took home Swiss Chalet chicken last week or went for steak at the Keg, you ate at Fairfax restaurants. It s time to get to know Prem Watsa better, too. People long misjudged him as a recluse. Truth is, he simply always wanted to build a business, not talk to the media. After 40 years, he and his executives have finally decided it s a good time to open up. For all the colourful dealmaking, billion-dollar bets, high-stakes hedge fund wars, Thomas reveals an inspiring story for our current troubled times. What emerges is that many people just had trouble believing Fairfax had the audacity to build a company culture based on the golden rule - treat others as you would have them treat you. The Fairfax Way captures the inside story of how a culture of treating people right can be a secret competitive moat to long-term outperformance.

Biskupovo tajomstvo - Fergus Hume
Bohabojnú komunitu pokojného katedrálneho mestečka Beomister mimoriadne rozruší zákerná vražda neznámeho tuláka. Všetci obyvatelia zápalisto diskutujú o brutálnom čine, ktorého motív nikto nechápe. Polícia bezradne tápe a vynárajú sa najrozličnejšie teórie o možnom páchateľovi. Zákerný kaplán Michael Calgrim dokonca podozrieva svojho nadriadeného, láskavého biskupa Gabriela Pendlea. Typickú malomestskú spoločnosť viktoriánskeho Anglicka zachvacuje čoraz dusivejšie poznanie, že zločin sa zrejme nikdy nepodarí vyriešiť. Čoskoro sa však v Beomisteri objaví súkromný vyšetrovateľ Ben Baltic, ktorý sám seba označuje za náboženského detektíva. Podarí sa tomuto bývalému kresťanskému misionárovi očistiť biskupovo meno a odhaliť skutočného vraha? Fergus Hume (1859 - 1932) bol nesmierne plodný anglický prozaik tajomných príbehov s kriminálnou zápletkou, ktorý nadviazal na tvorbu priekopníka detektívneho žánru, francúzskeho spisovateľa Émile Gaboriaua (1832 - 1873). Fergus Hume patril vo viktoriánskom Anglicku medzi najpredávanejších autorov a svojím dielom inšpiroval sira Arthura Conana Doyla (1859 - 1930) k vytvoreniu najslávnejšieho literárneho detektíva Sherlocka Holmesa.

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind - Kamkwamba William
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURED DIRECTED BY AND STARRING CHIWETEL EJIOFOR â “ AVAILABLE ON NETFLIXWhen William Kamkwamba was just 14 years old, his family told him that he must leave school and come home to work on the farm â “ they could no longer afford his fees. This is his story of how he found a way to make a difference, how he bought light to his family and village, and hope to his nation.Malawi is a country battling AIDS, drought and famine, and in 2002, a season of floods, followed by the most severe famine in fifty years, brought it to its knees. Like the majority of the population, William s family were farmers. They were totally reliant on the maize crop. By the end of 2001, after many lean and difficult years, there was no more crop. They were running out of food â “ had nothing to sell â “ and had months until they would be able to harvest their crop again.Forced to leave school at 14 years old, with no hope of raising the funds to go again, William resorted to borrowing books from the small local library to continue his education. One day, browsing the titles, he picked up a book about energy, with a picture of a wind turbine on the front cover. Fascinated by science and electricity, but knowing little more about the technology, William decided to build his own. Ridiculed by those around him, and exhausted from his work in the fields every day, and using nothing more than bits of scrap metal, old bicycle parts and wood from the blue gum tree, he slowly built his very own windmill.This windmill has changed the world in which William and his family live. Only 2 per cent of Malawi has electricity; William s windmill now powers the lightbulbs and radio for his compound. He has since built more windmills for his school and his village.When news of William s invention spread, people from across the globe offered to help him. Soon he was re-enrolled in college and travelling to America to visit wind farms. This is his incredible story.William s dream is that other African s will learn to help themselves â “ one windmill and one light bulb at a time â “ and that maybe one day they will be able to power their own computers, and use the internet, and see for themselves how his life has changed after picking up that book in the library.

You Owe You - Chris Paul, Eric Thomas, PhD
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “You Owe You is full of insight and guidance for those seeking their inner selves.”—MICHAEL B. JORDAN No matter your story or your struggle, Eric Thomas—celebrated motivational guru, educator, and problem-solver to many of the top athletes and business leaders—will “help you work harder, discover your real motivation, and crack the code of enduring success” (Ed Mylett, #1 bestselling author of The Power of One More)If you feel like success is for others, that only certain people get to have their dreams fulfilled, Eric Thomas’s You Owe You is your wake-up call. His urgent message to stop waiting for inspiration to strike and take control of your life is one he wishes someone had given him when he was a teenager—lost, homeless, failing in school, and dealing with the challenges of being a young Black man in America. Once he was able to break free from thinking of himself as a victim and truly understand his strengths, he switched the script. And now, with this book, Thomas reveals how you, too, can rewrite your life s script. With support, he recognized that his unique gift is being able to capture the attention of all kinds of people in all kinds of settings—boardrooms, locker rooms, churches, classrooms, even the streets—thanks to his wealth of experiences and command of language. Today, Thomas considers himself blessed to speak to an audience that is as large as it is diverse, from the rich and famous to kids struggling in school to young men in prison hoping for a new start. Thomas’s secrets of success have already helped hundreds of thousands on their journey, but this is his first guide to show you how to start today, right now. These critical first steps include deeply understanding yourself and the world around you, finding your why, accepting that you may have to give up something good for something great, and constantly stretching toward your potential. No matter where you are on your journey toward greatness, you owe it to yourself to become fully, authentically you. And Eric Thomas’s You Owe You can help get you there.

Thomas More - Dr Joanne Paul
Discover a story 400 years in the making - the definitive biography of the man who dominated England in the first half of the sixteenth century Engrossing THE TIMES In this excellent study, Thomas More is reborn as a complex, absorbing man DAILY TELEGRAPH [A] immersive, richly told account of life, death, faith and politics at the early Tudor court SPECTATOR THE definitive biography of one of history s most complex and often inscrutable characters NATHEN AMIN Significant. Terrific. Meticulously researched. Beautifully written LITERARY REVIEWBorn into the English Wars of the Roses, educated in the European Renaissance, enthralled by the Age of Exploration and ultimately destroyed by Henry VIII, Thomas More is one of the most famous - or notorious - figures in English history. Is he a saintly scholar, the visionary author of Utopia and an inspiration for statesmen, socialists and intellectuals even today?Or is he the stubborn zealot famously portrayed in Hilary Mantel s Wolf Hall?Thomas More: A Life and Death in Tudor England is the definitive biography of this hypnotic, flawed figure. Overturning many received interpretations of the sixteenth century, Joanne Paul shows Thomas More to have been an intellectual and political giant of his age, central to the making of modern Europe. Based on new archival discoveries and drawing on more than a decade s research into More s life and work, this is a richly-told story of family, faith and politics, and a compelling portrait of a man who, more than four hundred years after his death, remains the most brilliant mind of the Renaissance. __MORE PRAISE FOR THOMAS MORE Paul has created a portrait of Thomas More that is epic, intimate and profoundly relatable to the modern reader LEAH REDMOND CHANG, Women s Prize longlisted historian of Young Queens Very impressive ALISON WEIR Wonderful, riveting, subtle. Captures beautifully the life of More and the fading world he died to preserve WALL STREET JOURNAL A proper scholarly history as well as a wonderful narrative read SUSANNAH LIPSCOMB Paul gives us a movingly human picture of a family man, scholar, politician and, ultimately, political martyr ELIZABETH NORTON

William An Englishman (Edition2024) - Cicely Hamilton
William-An Englishman follows William Tully, a quiet and unassuming clerk whose life is upended by the death of his domineering mother. Freed from her control, William begins to search for purpose beyond his previously sheltered existence. His encounter with Faraday, a passionate socialist deeply involved in political activism, inspires him to explore the possibilities of a life dedicated to social reform. As their discussions draw William into the world of activism, he grapples with questions of identity, personal growth, and his role in advancing justice within a rapidly changing society. Set against the backdrop of mounting tensions of war, the story shifts from an intimate portrayal of personal loss to a wider exploration of societal challenges. Through William s evolution from a timid clerk to a politically engaged individual, the novel examines the interplay between independence, responsibility, and the complexities of activism during a time of global upheaval. William s journey reflects the struggle to balance personal transformation with the demands of a world on the brink of conflict, offering a thoughtful commentary on the connection between individual growth and broader societal change.
