To what extent are the subjects of our thoughts and talk real? This is the question of realism. In this book, Justin Clarke-Doane explores arguments for and against moral realism and mathematical realism, how they interact, and what they can tell us about areas of philosophical interest more generally. He argues that, contrary to widespread belief, our mathematical beliefs have no better claim to being self-evident or provable than our moral beliefs. Nor do our mathematical beliefs have better claim to being empirically justified than our moral beliefs. It is also incorrect that reflection on the "genealogy" of our moral beliefs establishes a lack of parity between the cases. In general, if one is a moral antirealist on the basis of epistemological considerations, then one ought to be a mathematical antirealist as well. And, yet, Clarke-Doane shows that moral realism and mathematical realism do not stand or fall together -- and for a surprising reason. Moral questions, insofar as they are practical, are objective in a sense that mathematical questions are not. Moreover, the sense in which they are objective can be explained only by assuming practical anti-realism. One upshot of the discussion is that the concepts of realism and ...

The Patrick Melrose Novels hilariously dissect the English upper class, conjuring a world of decadence, amorality, greed, snobbery, and cruelty, but never without the possibility of grace. Taken together, they are one of the most thrilling reading experiences in contemporary fiction. Edward St. Aubyn chronicled the life of Patrick Melrose across five short novels, painting an acrid portrait of a beleaguered and self-loathing world of privilege. Never Mind unfolds over a day and an evening at the family’s chateau in the south of France, where the sadistic and terrifying figure of David Melrose dominates the lives of his rich and unhappy American wife, Eleanor, and their five-year-old son, Patrick. Bad News opens as Patrick, now twenty-two years old, sets off to collect his father’s ashes from New York, where he will spend a drug-crazed twenty-four hours.Back in England, Some Hope offers Patrick the possibility of recovery (and the most debauched and riotous dinner party in contemporary fiction).

Patrick Hennessey''s The Junior Officers'' Reading Club is a lucid, witty account of all the horror, boredom and exhilaration of war.

Fanoušci seriálu Jak jsem poznal vaši matku a Barneyho Stinsona jistě tuší či vědí, že Neil Patrick Harris nemůže být nudný člověk, jaký by napsal tradiční či suchý životopis. Název jeho biografi e odkazuje k tzv. gamebookům: čtenář se sám stává hlavní postavou knihy, tedy Neilem Patrickem Harrisem, a může se na konci každé kapitoly rozhodnout podle nabízených možností, kde bude ve čtení/životní dráze NPH pokračovat. Vydává se tedy z malého amerického města do světa televize, fi lmu, broadwayského muzikálu; učí se magii; získává první erotické zkušenosti; objevuje sám sebe a svou sexuální orientaci; žení se a má děti; dosahuje úspěchů u kritiky i diváků. Harris ve své knize nejen rekapituluje svou úspěšnou hereckou dráhu, nemlčí ani o svých neúspěších, a neváhá odkrýt své soukromí, pokud tím může povzbudit lidi, kteří jen obtížně hledali sami sebe nebo se museli vyrovnávat s předsudky okolí. Herce narozeného v roce 1973 zná celý svět především jako Barneyho ze seriálu Jak jsem poznal vaši matku. V kůži této postavy napsal společně se scenáristou seriálu Mattem Kuhnem řadu knih, ve které Barneyho životní fi losofi i dále rozvíjí a nabízí jako inspiraci čtenářům, zejména mužům.

Audiokniha: Příběhy jsou jako divá zvěř. Když je vypustíš na svobodu, mohou napáchat spoustu škody. Přesně sedm minut po půlnoci navštíví třináctiletého Conora netvor. Chlapce však neděsí, protože nic nemůže být horší, než noční můry, které ho v poslední době pronásledují. Než realita, ve které žije. Než fakt, že jeho máma je vážně nemocná, táta kdesi za mořem s novou rodinou a na něj zbyla jenom upjatá babička, s níž si nerozumí. Když se teď rozhádal se svou nejlepší kamarádkou, nezbyl nikdo, komu by mohl říct, že se mu ve škole spolužáci buď vyhýbají pohledem, nebo ho šikanují. Proč by se měl bát tajuplného přízraku z dávných časů, ukrývajícího se v podobě starého stromu za domem, který tvrdí, že ho sám zavolal? Přichází proto, aby Conorovi vyprávěl tři příběhy. Na oplátku ale něco chce. Tu nejnebezpečnější věc ze všech. Chce slyšet pravdu. Filmová adaptace příběhu plného temně pohádkové atmosféry vstoupila do českých kin 30. března 2017.

Patrick Roth vypráví neuvěřitelný příběh Josefa z Nazaretu jako zoufajícího si člověka, líčí jeho hlubokou víru a neposlušnost vůči Bohu. Román zároveň pátrá po možnosti nového počátku. Jeruzalém v roce 70 po Kristu: hrozí, že římské oddíly zboří ochranné hradby. Obléhání Svatého města je výchozím bodem románu plného silných obrazů, jehož oblouk vyprávění se klene až k okamžiku Ježíšova narození. Ve středu událostí stojí Josef, Mariin muž, o němž evangelia vyprávějí, že naslouchal snům, když k sobě přijal ženu a dítě. Patrick Roth mu přisuzuje osud plný napětí, drama mezi člověkem a božskostí jako neuchopitelnou mocí. Třináct let po Ježíšově zrození vyžaduje Bůh od Josefa nejvyšší oběť. „Kde je tu spravedlnost, abych porozuměl?“ žaluje Josef tváří v tvář neopodstatněné Boží vůli. Dokáže tuto oběť přinést? V rafinovaně do sebe propletených pasážích mezi snem a realitou proniká román do prostoru prožitků, v němž se bortí zdánlivé jistoty. Rothovo vypravěčské umění vychází z existenciální zkušenosti a svědčí o výjimečné síle autorova jazyka, který je ve svém přiblížení výrazovému rytmu Bible sám estetickým zážitkem. Od současné tvorby se způsob Rothova vyprávění odlišuje především v tom, že připouští transcendenci, a ve své radikální vážnosti je ojedinělým zjevem v německy psané literatuře.

Vítěz ceny Magnesia Litera 2020 – překlad. Svazek Patrick Melrose I přináší první tři romány z pětidílného, částečně autobiografického cyklu románů o Patricku Melroseovi z let 1992–2011, v němž se vypravěč vyrovnává s tím, že se stal „hračkou v sadomasochistických hrátkách svých rodičů“. Všechny tři knihy – nazvané Na tom nesejde, Špatná zpráva a Trocha naděje – se odehrávají během jednoho dne a autor nám v nich prostřednictvím mistrných črt nabízí pohled nejen do prostředí britské společenské smetánky, ale i do odvykacích center a newyorské drogové scény. Vypravěč je uchvácen svým démonickým otcem – ten na něm v prvním díle ukájí své sadistické choutky, v druhém díle je přítomen již jen jako stín (už dospělý Patrick cestuje do New Yorku vyzvednout jeho ostatky) a v díle třetím vystupuje jako vzpomínka, na niž nejde zapomenout, ale ani se s ní usmířit. „Hamlet na heroinu“, „makabrózní groteska hnaná sebedestruktivní touhou“ – i tak označovala ostrovní kritika St Aubynovo dílo. Jeho románový cyklus ale zdaleka není jen zádumčivý román o traumatu; je to dílo čtivé, neobyčejně vtipné, ve své společenské kritice přesné a sžíravé. Ve své románové pentalogii o Patricku Melroseovi Edward St Aubyn dokazuje, že je skutečným následovníkem Evelyna Waugha a Oscara ... Unknown localization key: "more"
