Being concerned with representation, this book is about an idea, a concept, a word. It is primarily a conceptual analysis, not a historical study of the way in which representative government has evolved, nor yet an empirical investigation of the behavior of contemporary representatives or the expectations voters have about them. Yet, although the book is about a word, it is no...(展开全部)

A work that "not only treats of irony but is irony," wrote a contemporary reviewer of "The Concept of Irony, with Continual Reference to Socrates". Presented here with Kierkegaard's notes of the celebrated Berlin lectures on "positive philosophy" by F.W.J. Schelling, the book is a seedbed of Kierkegaard's subsequent work, both stylistically and thematically. Part One concentrat...(展开全部)

His plain language and esstentially simple purp...(展开全部)

InThe Metaphysics of Representation, Robert Williams tells a story about how representational properties arise out of a fundame...(展开全部)

In "The Greek Concept of Nature, Gerard Naddaf utilizes historical, mythological, and linguistic perpectives to reconstruct the origin and evolution of the Greek concept of "Phusis.
