#328833 Storia Antica

Shame and Necessity.

Autore:
Editore: University of California Press.
Data di pubbl.:
Dettagli: cm.15x23, pp.254, brossura con copertina figurata a colori.

Abstract: We tend to suppose that the ancient Greeks had primitive ideas of the self, of responsibility, freedom, and shame, and that now humanity has advanced from these to a more refined moral consciousness. Bernard Williams's original and radical book questions this picture of Western history. While we are in many ways different from the Greeks, Williams claims that the differences are not to be traced to a shift in these basic conceptions of ethical life. We are more like the ancients than we are prepared to acknowledge, and only when this is understood can we properly grasp our most important differences from them, such as our rejection of slavery.The author is a philosopher, but much of his book is directed to writers such as Homer and the tragedians, whom he discusses as poets and not just as materials for philosophy. At the center of his study is the question of how we can understand Greek tragedy at all, when its world is so far from ours.

Scriptum Editions 1999, cm.26x26, pp.215, ill.coul. hardcover with dustjacket. Private Ireland reveals the essence of Irish living style in an atmospheric photographic study of some of the country's most evocative and charming homes--from grand estates to characterful farmhouses and fancifull follies. The houses and studios of some of the country's most interesting creative spirits are included, from writers, artists and musicians to artisans, architects and designers. A visual exploration of Irish living style, both north and south, Private Ireland documents the setting, the character and the idiosyncrasies of each featured home--whether an historic abbey, a Dublin townhouse, a romantic castle, or a simple whitewashed cottage by the sea.
