Utopia: The Potential and Prospect of the Human Condition

Amid the twentieth century's seemingly overwhelming problems,some thinkers dared to envisage a world order governed by utopian proposals that would eliminate--or at least alleviate--the evils of society and secure positive advantages for all human beings. Others found this utopian optimism a hopeless fantasy and predicted a utopian order only repressiveness,boredom,and the impoverishment of human experience. The unique gathering of articles in Utopia vividly demonstrates the tension existing be

Phantoms in the Brain: Probing the Mysteries of the Human

Neuroscientist V. S. Ramachandran is internationally renowned for uncovering answers to the deep and quirky questions of human nature that few scientists have dared to address. His bold insights about the brain are matched only by the stunning simplicity of his experiments-using such low-tech tools such as cotton swabs,glasses of water,and dime-store mirrors. In Phantoms in the Brain,Dr. Ramachandran recounts how his work with patients who have bizarre neurological disorders has shed new light on th

The Guardian of All Things: The Epic Story of Human Memory

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Malone, Michael S., PUBLISHER: St. Martin's Press, A sweeping exploration of the history of memory and human civilization Memory makes us human. No other animal carries in its brain so many memories of such complexity nor so regularly revisits those memories for happiness, safety, and to accomplish complex tasks. Human civilization continues because we are able to pass along memories from one person to another, from one generation to the next. "The Guardian of All Things "is scientific history that takes us on a year old journey replete with incredible ideas, inventions, and transformations. From cave drawings to oral histories to libraries to the internet, "The Guardian of All Things "is the history of how humans have relentlessly pursued new ways to preserve and manage memory, both within the human brain and is a series of inventions external to it. Michael Malone looks at the story of memory, both human and mechanical, and the historic turning points in that story that not only changed our relationship to memory, but also changed us as human beings. Full of anecdotes, history, and advances of civilization and technology, "The Guardian of All Things "is a lively, sweeping, and epic journey along a trajectory of history no other book has ever described, one that will appeal to the curious as well as the specialist.

Utopia and Reform in the Enlightenment

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Venturi, Franco, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In this detailed study of the republican tradition in the development of the Enlightenment, the central problem of utopia and reform is crystallized in a discussion of the right to punish. Describing the political situation in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the author shows how the old republics in Italy, Poland and Holland stagnated and were unable to survive in the age of absolutism. The Philosophes discussed the ideal of republicanism against this background. They were particularly influenced by the political and religious radicalism of John Toland, which had survived the English Restoration and was then reaching Europe. Professor Venturi traces the debate on the penal laws and the attempt to relate utopian ideas of society to the practical problem of dealing with man in society, which culminated in the assertion by many Philosophes that an unjust social system necessitated harsh penal laws, thereby rejecting the possibility of reform.

The Human Condition: Second Edition

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Arendt, Hannah / Canovan, Margaret, PUBLISHER: University of Chicago Press, A work of striking originality bursting with unexpected insights, "The Human Condition" is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in . In her study of the state of modern humanity, Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective of the actions of which it is capable. The problems Arendt identified then--diminishing human agency and political freedom, the paradox that as human powers increase through technological and humanistic inquiry, we are less equipped to control the consequences of our actions--continue to confront us today. This new edition, published to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of its original publication, contains an improved and expanded index and a new introduction by noted Arendt scholar Margaret Canovan which incisively analyzes the book's argument and examines its present relevance. A classic in political and social theory, "The Human Condition" is a work that has proved both timeless and perpetually timely. Hannah Arendt () was one of the leading social theorists in the United States. Her "Lectures on Kant's Political Philosophy" and "Love and Saint Augustine" are also published by the University of Chicago Press.
