Jednorozměrný člověk - Herbert Marcuse
Marcuse ve své slavné knize z roku 1964 podrobuje kritice kapitalismus, ale zároveň odmítá socialistické režimy v tehdejší východní Evropě. Moderní industriální společnost se podle autora sice zaštiťuje racionalistou, ale ve skutečnosti je silně iracionální. Úspěšně ovládla přírodu, ale i jejího tvůrce – člověka. Je totalitní, protože lidem prostřednictvím techniky nediktuje pouze potřeby společenské, ale i jejich individuální přání a činí si na ně nárok také v jejich volném čase. Svoboda (např. svobodná volba ve výběru zboží a služeb) se stává nástrojem ovládání. Rozvinutá industriální společnost je podle autora daleko ideologičtější než její předchůdkyně, protože ideologie se přesunula do samotného výrobního procesu, lidé začínají být produkty, reklama se stává žádaným životním stylem. Kapitalisté přejímají roli byrokratů, dělnická třída je integrovaná do nesvobodné společnosti. Pojmy jsou redukovány na souhrn operací a operacionalistické hypotézy se neustálým opakováním v masových médiích mění na definice. Nerozumné se rovná neoperacionalizovatelné. Vzniká jednorozměrné chování a myšlení. Cestou ven je návrat k dvojrozměrnosti – rozpornosti, která je nutně obsažena ve filozofickém myšlení. To se musí stát negativním v tom smyslu, že upozorňuje na to, co není bezprostředně přítomno, a zpochybnit společnost i sebe samé. Touto cestou může dojít k osvobození individuality a původcem změny se mohou stát ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Herbert Marcuse as Social Justice Educator - Charles Reitz
Demonstrating the continued relevance of MarcuseÂ’s work, Herbert Marcuse as Social Justice Educator details how his teachings remain a countervailing force to the conventional wisdom in intellectual and political matters today.By drawing on MarcuseÂ’s critical analysis of the political economy, a profound concern for environmental issues, and an explicit critique of educational philosophy, this book illuminates not only the content and contours of MarcuseÂ’s work but its importance for developing critical social scientific thinking and theoretical insight into contemporary issues such as genocide and ecocide, fascism and democratic crises, political economy and social inequality, and the role of culture and media in forming compliant consumer-citizens.From Charles Reitz, a prominent leader in Marcuse studies, this book will be an essential guide for instructors, students, and learners in sociology, social theory, political science, and environmental studies.

Ani Bůh ani člověk - Herbert Leon Kessler
Ani Bůh ani člověk. Slova, obrazy a středověká úzkost z výtvarného umění je jednou z recentních prací Herberta L. Kesslera, která vyšla poprvé v roce 2007 jako součást ediční řady zabývající se literárními prameny k výtvarným dílům.V centru pozornosti této knihy stojí otázka legitimity zobrazování Boha ve středověkém vizuálním umění a můžeme ji tak, i přes její úsporný formát, považovat za syntézu autorových badatelských zájmů. Čtenáři se nyní dostává do rukou český překlad, jenž vznikl poněkud netradičním způsobem, a to jako společná práce studentů Semináře dějin umění brněnské Filozofické fakulty Masarykovy univerzity. Jeho vydání bylo motivováno několika faktory.V první řadě se jedná o snahu uvést téma této publikace na domácí scénu, kde se mu prozatím nedostalo rozsáhlejší reflexe.Za druhé, kniha Ani Bůh ani člověk, stejně jako značná část autorova díla, vyšla ve velice omezeném nákladu a její distribuce byla proto pouze marginální. Pro domácího čtenáře, a studenty obzvláště, tak Kesslerovy knihy zůstávají obtížně dostupné, což je v případě jedné z předních osobností historiografie dějin středověkého umění posledních desetiletí velká škoda. Konečně, Herbert L. Kessler je také klíčovou postavou pro rodící se Centrum raně středověkých studií při Semináři dějin umění Masarykovy univerzity, kde zároveň působí jako hostující profesor.

Marcuse - Jacob McNulty
Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979) is known to many as a leading figure of 1960s counterculture, and a "Guru of the New Left."However, the deeper philosophical background to Marcuse''s thought is often forgotten, especially his significant engagement with German idealism, ancient philosophy, and a broad spectrum of problems and issues from the philosophical tradition.This much-needed book introduces and assesses Marcuse''s philosophy and is ideal for those coming to his work for the first time. Jacob McNulty covers the following topics:Marcuse''s life and the background to his thought, including his formative period as a student of Husserl and Heidegger and as a philosopher in Horkheimer''s InstituteMarcuse''s recasting of metaphysics in light of Marxian and Freudian thoughtMarcuse and German idealism, especially the role of Kant and HegelMarcuse''s philosophy of human nature, his use of the late Freud''s ideas of Eros and ThanatosMarcuse as a critic of state and monopoly capitalismMeaning, propaganda, and ideology: the political implications of language and also the centrality of free speechMarcuse''s aestheticsMarcuse''s legacy and his relationship to contemporary analytical philosophy (especially "analytic critical theory").An outstanding and engaging introduction to a central figure in twentieth-century radical thought, Marcuse is essential reading for those in philosophy and related disciplines including political theory, ...

A wonderful edition of Herbert''s poetry, edited by his acclaimed biographer John Drury and including elegant new translations of his Latin verse by Victoria Moul.George Herbert wrote, but never published, some of the very greatest English poetry, recording in an astonishing variety of forms his inner experiences of grief, recovery, hope, despair, anger, fulfilment and - above all else - love. This volume, edited by John Drury, collects Herbert''s complete poetry - including such classics of English devotional poetry as ''The Altar'', Easter-Wings'' and ''Love''. It also includes the verse Herbert wrote in Latin, newly translated into English by Victoria Moul.George Herbert was born in 1593 and died at the age of 39 in 1633, before the clouds of civil war gathered. He showed worldly ambition and seemed sure of high public office and a career at court, but then for a time ''lost himself in a humble way'', devoting himself to the restoration of a church and then to his parish of Bemerton, three miles from Salisbury. When in the year of his death his friend Nicholas Ferrar published Herbert''s poems under the title The Temple, his fame was quickly established.John Drury is Chaplain and Fellow of All Souls ...

Published for the centenary of his birth, a gathering of lucid, intensely lyrical poetry from one of the twentieth century’s pre-eminent literary voicesbe courageous when reason fails you be courageousin the final reckoning it is the only thing that countsZbigniew Herbert was one of the best-known and most-translated poets of post-war Poland, opposed alike to Communism, Fascism, nationalism and the Church, yet moved, throughout his work, by ‘a powerful sense of right and wrong without a corresponding belief in a system’ (New York Times).His is a poetry of compression, lucidity and profound humanity. The universe he conjures is deeply informed not only by his own time, but by history – by that of the Medieval Mediterranean and Central Europe, as much as of the Classical world – and by a taste for historical and philosophical paradox. In the early and middle works, the figure of the trickster never seems far from view. Throughout, Herbert asks questions about the nature and needs of sentient beings. His desire, always, is to ‘touch the essence’: to get to the heart of life.Selected with an introduction and afterword by J. M.

What Doesn't Kill You... - Johnny Herbert
Johnny Herbert was one of the most brilliant natural talents to emerge in motor racing, but for all his bravery and prowess, he''s lucky to be alive. After becoming British Junior Karting Champion (losing part of a finger in the process), then the Formula 3 title for Eddie Jordan in 1987, he was all set for a glittering debut season in Formula 1 when he was caught in a mass pile-up at Brands Hatch. That horrific crash threatened to end his career, but Herbert made a miraculous recovery, was a hugely popular winner of the British Grand Prix in 1995, and enjoyed 25 years of competitive motorsport, becoming the only British driver to win the 24 hours of Le Mans followed by a Grand Prix. And all that despite driving every pace in extreme pain; in fact, as the first and only disabled driver in F1 history.While chronicling an extraordinary life behind the wheel with cheer and his trademark cheeky humour, What Doesn''t Kill You... contains a wealth of stories from the hard end of Formula 1: on Johnny''s team-mate Michael Schumacher, legends like Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, his fellow British adversaries Damon Hill, Martin Brundle and Nigel Mansell, ...

Mám klepátko od nehlídaných zahrad - Zbigniew Herbert
Rozsáhlý výbor z poezie jednoho ze zásadních polských básníků Zbigniewa Herberta připravil a přeložil Josef Mlejnek. Herbertova nezaměnitelná poetika, opřená o klasické vzdělání i výtvarnou citlivost, je dnes už dědictvím 20. století, stále však inspiruje svým nesmlouvavým postojem, nedůvěrou k myriádám obrazů nebo zacházením s emblematickou maskou-postavou pana Cogito.V českých překladech se básnické dílo Zbigniewa Herberta objevilo poprvé už na konci padesátých let především díky Vlastě Dvořáčkové, básníku Miroslavu Holubovi, který se s Herbertem osobně znal, nebo Miroslavu Červenkovi. Naopak eseje se dočkaly vydání až mnohem později. Nový výbor je také osobním pohledem Josefa Mlejnka na Herbertovo dílo - některé básně již česky vyšly a nyní jsou publikovány v novém překladu. Zbigniew Herbert (1924-1998) byl významný polský básník a esejista, stal se symbolem protikomunistického odporu v Polsku a byl několikrát nominovaný na Nobelovu cenu. Svou první básnickou knihu Struna světla vydal v roce 1956, v roce 1974 vychází jeho kniha Pan Cogito, jejíž hlavní stejnojmenná postava se pak objevuje i v následujících Herbertových knihách. Poslední sbírka Epilog bouře byla vydána v roce jeho úmrtí. Je také autorem knižních reportážních esejů Barbar v zahradě (1962), na které navázaly soubory Zátiší s udidlem (1993) a Labyrint u moře (2000), v nichž reflektuje ...

Vyšší bdělost / Malá učebnice bílé magie - Herbert Fritsche
Dvě zásadní práce jednoho z předních okultních spisovatelů první poloviny 20. století. Herbert Friteche, významný homeopat a žák Gustava Meyrinka, s odkazem na staré a osvědčené autority v oblasti mystiky a esoterního bádání vede své čtenáře k vnitřnímu probuzení a poznání vnitřní pravdy,. V pojednání Vyšší bdělost si dává Herbert Fritsche za cíl vytvořit jakousi základnu pro další studium Královského umění, "vytknout cestu, jež začíná právě tam, kde zrovna stojíme". Jde mu především o vnitřní vedení, aby již nebylo třeba jiného poučení než toho, jehož se nám dostane od probuzeného vlastního "já". V Malé učebnici bílé magie hovoří Fritsche o příslibu této cesty k Bohu a upozorňuje na svody černé magie. Fritsche se opírá zejména o texty a dílo Paracelsa, Swedenborga a Gustava Meyrinka.

Paul of Dune - Kevin James Anderson, Brian Herbert
Between the end of Frank Herbert''s Dune and his next novel Dune Messiah lies a mystery: how a hero adored by a planet became a tyrant hated by a universe. Paul of Dune begins the story of those twelve fateful years and the wars of the jihad of Paul Muad''Dib. It is an epic of battle and betrayal; of love and idealism; of ambition and intrigue. Above all, it is the story of how Paul Atreides - who achieved absolute power when scarcely more than a boy - changes from an idealist into a dictator who is the prisoner of the bureaucrats and fanatics who surround him. Have you read Dune? And have you read Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson''s novels continuing the story? The latest are Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune.

Gentleman Overboard - Herbert Clyde Lewis
Out of print for over seventy years, Gentleman Overboard by Herbert Clyde Lewis is being rescued for today’s readers to launch Boiler House Press’s new series, Recovered Books. Halfway between Honolulu and Panama, a man slips and falls from a ship. For crucial hours, as he patiently treads water in hope of rescue, no one on board notices his absence. By the time the ship’s captain is notified, it may be too late to save him... Rediscovered in 2009 by Brad Bigelow as part of tireless research for his popular Neglected Books website, Gentleman Overboard has since achieved the status of a cult classic and even become something of an international phenomenon, having seen translations into Spanish, Hebrew, and Dutch. The newspaper Ha’aretz has called it ‘A miniature masterpiece that emerged from oblivion’; the Spanish magazine El Cultural dubbed it ‘una perlita’: ‘a little pearl’. A masterful piece of narrative tension, and way ahead of its time, Gentleman Overboard sets the question of existence in its most basic terms. The story speaks fiercely to the contemporary moment and for all who share a sense of loneliness through having found themselves isolated by politics, disease, economics —or indeed just sheer accident ...

Unselected Poems - Herbert W. N.
For many poets there comes a point in their careers when a Selected Poems seems a logical step. Their style is now established, their subject-matter is their own, and their greatest hits lend themselves to a succinct introduction to their career. But for WN Herbert, that was never what it was all about. The idea that he has had a career, let alone that it was ‘about’ anything, strikes him as extremely unlikely. Instead, he has always enjoyed the opportunity to head off in as many directions as possible. Usually at the same time. In addition to his main collections, WN Herbert has been involved in many collaborative side projects, arising from travel, dialogue, translation and the challenge of a new sequence or form. This book contains the best of his ‘unselected’ poems, including On Your Nerve: A Wake for Frank O’Hara, Don Juan’s Pilgrimage and his award-winning pamphlet, Murder Bear. Unselected Poems is an invitation to consider the less-travelled tracks we might have taken and could yet follow, whether as writers or readers. Set off, if you would – follow that bear!
