Доктор Бабиян
9,00 ₾Сборник содержит восемь историй, каждая из которых чем-то замечательна, если не уникальна. Но все они, по сути, документальны и представляют собой художественно обработанные, а иногда лишь стилистически выправленные рассказы очевидцев и непосредственных участников.
The Birth of the Clinic
68,00 ₾In this remarkable book Michel Foucault, one of the most influential thinkers of recent times, calls us to look critically at specific historical events in order to uncover new layers of significance. In doing so, he challenges our assumptions not only about history, but also about the nature of language and reason, even of truth. The scope of such an undertaking is vast, but by means of his uniquely engaging narrative style, Foucault’s penetrating gaze is skilfully able to confront our own. After reading his words our perceptions are never quite the same again.
The Spirit in Man, Art and Literature
65,00 ₾The Spirit in Man, Art and Literature offers unique and penetrating insights into the lives and opinions of some of the most significant players in the cultural life of the twentieth century. Carl Gustav Jung was at the heart of that cultural life, pioneering, along with Freud, a new interpretation of what it meant to be human in the modern age. This volume reveals the full range of Jung’s involvement in this process, from his famous analysis of ‘Psychology and Literature’ to his landmark texts on Joyce’s Ulysses and Picasso’s paintings. Jung writes of Freud from the perspective of one who was “permitted a deep glimpse into the mind of this remarkable man,” and through the memories and opinions recorded in The Spirit in Man, Art and Literature, the reader is offered a similar privilege.
Aspects of the Feminine
56,00 ₾Love is a force of destiny whose power reaches from heaven to hell.’ So Jung advises while reflecting on ‘The Love Problem of a Student’, an essay contained in this volume. But it is not just love that Jung speaks of in this book. Taking as its theme Jung’s interpretation of the feminine principle in his hugely influential theories about the inner world of the individual, it guides the reader from the mythological archetype of the mother-figure to the experience of women in twentieth-century Europe, explaining along the way concepts crucial to Jung’s understanding of the personality, such as animus and anima. Many of his contentions have become the assumptions of the generations growing up in the twenty-first century. Aspects of the Feminine is a provocative, controversial book which offers readers the opportunity to discover at first hand just how radical Jung’s arguments were.
The Use and Abuse of History
68,00 ₾Use and Abuse of History has become a key text of current historiography; this is a book that poses fundamental and disturbing questions about the use and abuse of history. Engaging and challenging, this book confronts the reader with the many ‘histories’ that exist and have existed around the world, from the Zulu kingdoms to Communist China.
This title has now been extensively revised by Marc Ferro, a well respected historian, and presents the different narratives that constitute the histories of countries as diverse as India, Iran, Trinidad and the United States makes for fascinating reading in their own right. What makes this book so valuable, though, is what these narratives tell us about the societies which create them – how much is history distorted in order to condition the minds of those who are taught it?
Use and Abuse of History appeals to anyone with a general interested in history.
