 The Necessity of Music Variations on a German Theme【電子書籍】[ Celia Applegate ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In ＜em＞The Necessity of Music＜/em＞, Celia Applegate explores the many ways that Germans thought about and made music from the eighteenth- to twentieth-centuries. Rather than focus on familiar stories of composers and their work Applegate illuminates the myriad ways in which music is integral to German social life. Musical life reflected the polycentric nature of German social and political life, even while it provided many opportunities to experience what was common among Germans. Musical activities also allowed Germans, whether professional musicians, dedicated amateurs, or simply listeners, to participate in European culture. Applegate’s original and fascinating analysis of Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, Wagner, and military music enables the reader to understand music through the experiences of listeners, performers, and institutions. ＜em＞The Necessity of Music＜/em＞ demonstrates that playing, experiencing, and interpreting music was a powerful factor that shaped German collective life.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 5,448円 |
 The Necessity of Atheism【電子書籍】[ Percy Bysshe Shelley ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞"The Necessity of Atheism" is a treatise on atheism by the English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, printed in 1811 by C. and W. Phillips in Worthing while Shelley was a student at University College, Oxford. A copy of the first version was sent as a short tract signed enigmatically to all heads of Oxford colleges at the University. At that time the content was so shocking to the authorities that he was "rusticated" (expelled from the University) for refusing to deny authorship, together with his friend and fellow student, Thomas Jefferson Hogg. A revised and expanded version was printed in 1813.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Shelley's early profession of atheism in this tract not only led to his expulsion from Oxford but also branded him as a radical agitator and thinker, setting an early pattern of marginalisation and ostracism from the intellectual and political circles of his time. Though Shelley's poetry and prose output remained steady throughout his life, most publishers and journals declined to publish his work for fear of being arrested themselves for blasphemy or sedition.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Shelley did not live to see success and influence in his time, although these reach down to the present day not only in literature, but in major movements in social and political thought.＜/p＞ ＜p＞(Reference: Wikipedia.)＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 100円 |
 Japan as an Immigration Nation Demographic Change, Economic Necessity, and the Human Community Concept【電子書籍】[ Hidenori Sakanaka ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book proposes a solution to three interrelated problems facing Japan: the rapidly declining population, a decrease in working age adults, and a lack of social and economic vitality. Hidenori Sakanaka, the former director of the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau, proposes that Japan accept ten million immigrants, including refugees, over the next fifty years, and articulates the benefits of this measure for Japan and its future. The author has spent close to fifty years working in the field of immigration and was one of the first to identify the pending population crisis as early as the mid-1970s. This is the first time his thoughts appear in book-length form in English.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 17,115円 |
 Meaning and Necessity - A Study in Semantics and Modal Logic【電子書籍】[ Rudolf Carnap ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The main purpose of this book is the development of a new method for the semantical analysis of meaning, that is, a new method for analyzing and describing the meanings of linguistic expressions. This method, called the method of extension and intension, is developed by modifying and extending certain customary concepts, especially those of class and property. The method will be contrasted with various other semantical methods used in traditional philosophy or by contemporary authors. These other methods have one characteristic in common. They all regard an expression in a language as a name of a concrete or abstract entity. In contradistinction, the method here proposed takes an expression, not as naming anything, but as possessing an intension and an extension. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,122円 |
 The Big Necessity The Unmentionable World of Human Waste and Why It Matters【電子書籍】[ Rose George ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞"One smart book . . . delving deep into the history and implications of a daily act that dare not speak its name." ー＜em＞Newsweek＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Acclaimed as "extraordinary" (＜em＞The New York Times＜/em＞) and "a classic" (＜em＞Los Angeles Times＜/em＞), ＜em＞The Big Necessity＜/em＞ is on its way to removing the taboo on bodily wasteーsomething common to all and as natural as breathing. We prefer not to talk about it, but we shouldーeven those of us who take care of our business in pristine, sanitary conditions. Disease spread by waste kills more people worldwide every year than any other single cause of death. Even in America, nearly two million people have no access to an indoor toilet. Yet the subject remains unmentionable.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Moving from the underground sewers of Paris, London, and New York (an infrastructure disaster waiting to happen) to an Indian slum where ten toilets are shared by 60,000 people, ＜em＞The Big Necessity＜/em＞ breaks the silence, revealing everything that matters about how people doーand don'tーdeal with their own waste. With razor-sharp wit and crusading urgency, mixing levity with gravity, Rose George has turned the subject we like to avoid into a cause with the most serious of consequences.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,496円 |
 The Necessity of Prayer: Why Christians Ought to Pray【電子書籍】[ E. M. Bounds ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞New, updated and annotated edition.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And all things, whatever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. ? Matthew 21:22＜/p＞ ＜p＞Persistent prayer is a mighty movement of the soul toward God, and it stirs the deepest forces of the soul toward the throne of heavenly grace. It is the ability to hold on, press on, and wait. Restless desire, restful patience, and strength of grasp are all embraced in it. Prayer is not an incident or a performance but a passion of soul. It is not a want or half-needed desire but a sheer necessity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞List of Chapters＜br /＞ Ch. 1: Prayer and Faith＜br /＞ Ch. 2: Prayer and Unwavering Faith＜br /＞ Ch. 3: Prayer and Trust＜br /＞ Ch. 4: Prayer and Desire＜br /＞ Ch. 5: Prayer and Fervency＜br /＞ Ch. 6: Prayer and Persistence＜br /＞ Ch. 7: Prayer and Perseverance＜br /＞ Ch. 8: Prayer and Character＜br /＞ Ch. 9: Prayer and Obedience＜br /＞ Ch. 10: Prayer and Surrender＜br /＞ Ch. 11: Prayer and Vigilance＜br /＞ Ch. 12: Prayer and the Word of God＜br /＞ Ch. 13: Prayer and Preaching＜br /＞ Ch. 14: Prayer and the House of God＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the Author＜br /＞ Edward McKendree Bounds was born in Shelby County, Missouri, on August 15, 1835, and died on August 24, 1913, in Washington, Georgia. He was admitted to the bar in 1854 at the age of nineteen, but left the profession five years later when he answered the call of God to the ministry. Beginning in 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, he became the chaplain of the Fifth Missouri Regiment of the Confederacy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Bounds married Miss Emmie Barnett of Eufaula, Alabama, in 1876. By this union, he became the father of two daughters, Celeste and Corneille, and a son, Edward, who died at the age of six. His wife Emmie died in 1886, and later Bounds married Miss Hattie Barnett, Emmie’s cousin. Together they had six children: Samuel, Charles, Osborne, Elizabeth, Mary, and Emmie. However, Charles died at the age of one, so in the end, the family consisted of seven children.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After serving several important churches in St. Louis and other places to the south, Bounds became editor of the St. Louis Christian Advocate for eight years and, later, associate editor of The Nashville Christian Advocate for four years. The trial of his faith came while he was in Nashville, and he quietly retired to his home without even asking for a pension. His principal work in Washington, Georgia (his home), was rising at four o’clock in the morning and praying until seven o’clock. He filled a few engagements as an evangelist during the eighteen years of his life work in Washington, Georgia.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 129円 |
 The Necessity of Finance: An Overview of the Science of Management of Wealth for an Individual, a Group, or an Organization【電子書籍】[ Dr. Anthony M. Criniti IV ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The fundamental principles of finance have very simple origins and one can trace their roots to the beginning of human civilization. But as a subject, finance has evolvedーparticularly in the past fifty yearsーinto an extremely complicated and potentially confusing form. The Necessity of Finance: An Overview of the Science of Management of Wealth for an Individual, a Group, or an Organization seeks to provide a comprehensive and concise orientation for those seeking a more understandable presentation of the complex nature of finance. Using everyday terms and readily grasped concepts, Dr. Anthony M. Criniti IV, a former financial consultant and current university-level finance professor, sets out to detail the necessity of finance; to clarify the definition, purpose, and goals of both finance and economics; to explore financial concepts in a straightforward manner; and to stimulate interest and understanding that will lead to ongoing investigation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Finance, although highly interrelated with many subjects, is a separate field of study that is often confused with other areas, most notably economics. With world wealth accumulating to its highest point in history, the necessity to understand this subject on its own terms is more crucial than ever. The Necessity of Finance highlights the need to engage with finance as a separate science, clears up the confusion with related subjects, and coins the word "financialists" to identify the scientists in this dynamic field.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Starting with a discussion about the need for finance, and moving forward to establish the definition, purpose, goals, and history of both finance and economics, presenting in the process the basic terminology necessary to understand these subjects, The Necessity of Finance will equip the beginner to intermediate level financial student with vital information and a clear approach for continued study. In addition, its unique perspective will be of value to the advanced student and the practitioner. Topics addressed include: What is the difference between money and wealth? What is the difference between investing and saving? What is risk and return? Major financial questions are also analyzed, including: What kinds of investments exist? What are the different techniques for selecting investments? What role does ethics play in finance?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Finance is not an easy subject for the average student. While The Necessity of Finance does not replace the need for required college textbooks, it will serve as an indispensible supplemental learning tool that may clarify expectations of future financial journeys, whether it’s learning in a university or actively investing in the marketplace. In this extremely useful overview, Dr. Criniti demonstrates that finance is a very promising science that will benefit those who commit themselves to its study and practice.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 120円 |
 A Disquisition on the Evils of Using Tobacco and the Necessity of Immediate and Entire Reformation【電子書籍】[ Orin Fowler ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Orin Fowler's 'A Disquisition on the Evils of Using Tobacco and the Necessity of Immediate and Entire Reformation' is a compelling piece of anti-tobacco literature that delves into the detrimental effects of tobacco consumption on both individuals and society. Written in a didactic style, Fowler presents a detailed analysis of the physical, mental, and social consequences of using tobacco, urging readers to consider the urgent need for reform. Drawing on scientific research and moral arguments, the book serves as a persuasive call to action in the anti-tobacco movement of the 19th century. Fowler's work is a reflection of the growing public awareness of the harms of tobacco during this period, contributing to the larger discourse on health and morality. His strong moral stance and persuasive rhetoric make this book a significant piece of literature in the history of public health advocacy. I recommend 'A Disquisition on the Evils of Using Tobacco' to readers interested in the history of public health, social reform movements, and persuasive writing in the 19th century.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 300円 |

 The Beautiful Necessity Seven Essays on Theosophy and Architecture【電子書籍】[ Claude Fayette Bragdon ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Claude Fayette Bragdon's 'The Beautiful Necessity' is a seminal work that explores the interconnectedness of art and architecture, emphasizing the importance of beauty in everyday life. Written with a poetic and philosophical tone, Bragdon delves into the spiritual significance of design and the underlying principles that govern the visual world. Drawing on his expertise as an architect and artist, he examines how the elements of form, proportion, and geometry converge to create harmonious compositions that evoke a sense of universal order. In the context of the early 20th century Arts and Crafts movement, Bragdon's book serves as a manifesto for the integration of art and utility in the built environment. As a renowned architect, author, and theosophist, Claude Fayette Bragdon brings a multidisciplinary perspective to 'The Beautiful Necessity'. His deep understanding of esoteric principles and metaphysical concepts informs his exploration of aesthetics and symbolism in architecture. Bragdon's unique blend of artistic sensibility and philosophical insight provides readers with a refreshing take on the role of beauty in society. I highly recommend 'The Beautiful Necessity' to anyone interested in the intersections of art, architecture, and spirituality. Bragdon's eloquent prose and profound ideas will inspire readers to appreciate the beauty that surrounds them and consider the deeper meaning behind the designs that shape our world.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 300円 |
 Military Necessity The Art, Morality and Law of War【電子書籍】[ Nobuo Hayashi ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞What does it mean to say that international humanitarian law (IHL) strikes a realistic and meaningful balance between military necessity and humanity, and that the law therefore 'accounts for' military necessity? To what consequences does the law 'accounting for' military necessity give rise? Through real-life examples and careful analysis, this book challenges received wisdom on the subject by devising a new theory that not only reaffirms Kriegsr?son's fallacy but also explains why IHL has no reason to restrict or prohibit militarily unnecessary conduct on that ground alone. Additionally, the theory hypothesises greater normative significance for humanitarian and chivalrous imperatives when they conflict with IHL rules. By combining international law, jurisprudence, military history, strategic studies, and moral philosophy, this book reveals how rational fighting relates to ethical fighting, how IHL incorporates contrasting values that shape its rules, and how law and theory adapt themselves to war's evolutions.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 16,130円 |

 Invitation to Retreat The Gift and Necessity of Time Away with God【電子書籍】[ Ruth Haley Barton ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞Academy of Parish Clergy Top Ten List＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞"Come away and rest awhile."＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Jesus invites us to be with him, offering our full and undivided attention to him. When we choose retreat, we make a generous investment in our friendship with Christ. We are not always generous with ourselves where God is concerned. Many of us have tried to incorporate regular times of solitude and silence into the rhythm of our ordinary lives, which may mean that we give God twenty minutes here and half an hour there. And there's no question we are better for it! But we need more. Indeed, we long for more.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In these pages Transforming Center founder and seasoned spiritual director Ruth Haley Barton gently leads us into retreat as a key practice that opens us to God. Based on her own practice and her experience leading hundreds of retreats for others, she will guide you in a very personal exploration of seven specific invitations contained within the general invitation to retreat. You will discover how to say yes to God's winsome invitation to greater freedom and surrender.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There has never been a time when the invitation to retreat is so radical and so relevant, so needed and so welcome. It is not a luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual life.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 3,740円 |
 Jesus and the Cross Necessity, Meaning, and Atonement【電子書籍】[ Peter Laughlin ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞According to the Nicene Creed, Christ died for us and for our salvation. But while all Christians agree that Christ's death and resurrection has saving significance, there is little unanimity in how and why that is the case. In fact, Christian history is littered with various accounts of the redemptive value of Christ's death, and new models and motifs are constantly being proposed, many of which now stand in stark contrast to earlier reflections. How then should contemporary articulations of the cross's saving significance be judged? At the heart of this book is the contention that Christian reflection on the atonement is faithful inasmuch as it incorporates the intention that Jesus himself had for his death. In a wide-reaching study, the author draws from both classical scholarship and recent work on the historical Jesus to argue that not only did Jesus imbue his death with redemptive meaning but that such meaning should impact expressions of the cross's saving significance.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 3,632円 |
 The Necessity Of Friction【電子書籍】[ Nordal Akerman ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Friction is what keeps us from realizing our goals. It is what compromises all of our plans, sometimes making them unrecognizable. It defies our wish for perfection and constantly surprises us with new elements of resistance. It constitutes the divide between dream and reality.But friction is also what gets us moving, a necessary incentive to achieve progress. Nothing can start if it cannot push off something else. By blocking or delaying the easy solution, friction makes for a richer, more varied world. If it stops schemes from being completely fulfilled, it also stops them form going totally awry.To the modernist project, with its one-sided rationalist pretensions, friction is unambiguously bad?and so it is being disposed of at an increasing speed. The currency markets are one example, cyberspace another. This means less and less time to pause and rethink, while the vulnerability of societies is aggravated. In The Necessity of Friction, scholars tackle this topical and important concept. A number of scientific fields are engaged: physics, philosophy, economics, architecture, organizational theory, artificial intelligence, and others. Together, these contributions form the first modern-day attempt at analyzing the intriguing yet elusive subject of friction as metaphor.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 8,604円 |
 Some Notes on Field Theory, Albert's Mind, and the Status Quo: The Necessity of Contextualism in Psychology Includes: Synesthesia / Schizophrenia【電子書籍】[ JZ Murdock ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞A brief history of Psychology and the Sciences as related to field theory. Also include an article on Synesthesia / Schizophrenia.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Book Trailer - bit.ly/SomeNotes＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Notes on Albert's Mind, Field Theory and Contextualism"＜/p＞ ＜p＞Years passed. Man remained ignorant of Man. Psychology was one day, many days, born. Man applied past skills to present whims. Psychology was oriented towards ideas and systems which were additive in nature, these seeming the most secure means of study. Or, was it additive in the sense that cause and effect were just so very apparent, and quite so easy to discuss and observe? Is what is easy always right? It is true that many times the simplest answer is the right answer.＜/p＞ ＜p＞However, this very accepted view lead some to feel uneasy and to question the basic concepts as to their dimensionality within the 'context' of their own daily life; and then, came the behavioral mechanisms: it would see that some precepts in the fledgling pseudo-science Psychology, had not held up very well under not even very intense scrutiny.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Synesthesia / Schizophrenia"＜/p＞ ＜p＞In past years the study, control, and understanding of schizophrenia has been greatly hampered by lack of infor¬mation, inappropriate tools (like no computers of sufficient complexity for handling of compilation and dissemination of data), obviously a lack of appropriate software for such research and perhaps most simply, the incorrect approach. Since we must always reconsider, re-evaluate and redirect our attempts at helping the schizophrenic individual, this paper is directed toward this effort at seeing the schizophrenic person through the "filter" of a "normal" condition such as, synesthesia.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 132円 |

 The Role of Emotions in Criminal Law Defences Duress, Necessity and Lesser Evils【電子書籍】[ Eimear Spain ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The law has struggled for many years with the problem of how to accommodate those who commit crimes due to threats or circumstances. The modern ambivalence surrounding the defences of duress and necessity has its origins in the legal past. To date the defences of duress and necessity have been couched in terms such as compulsion, involuntariness and human frailty, resulting in the true nature of the defences being hidden. Psychologists and legal theorists have begun to re-examine the role of emotions in human action, including their effect upon behaviour and choice. In light of recent breakthroughs, Eimear Spain considers how the emotions experienced by those who act due to threats, both human and natural in origin, should affect the attribution of criminal responsibility and punishment. The understanding of emotions extrapolated in this book points towards a new rationale for the existing defences of duress and necessity.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 11,750円 |

 Partners of Choice and Necessity: Special Operations Forces and National Security Imperatives of Building Partner Capacity ? Security Force Assistance and Irregular Warfare in Undergoverned Spaces【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This excellent report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. How do US special operations forces maximize their role in the foreign policy of "building partner capacity" (BPC) to support the objectives of national security strategy? Most analytical writing about partner force development focuses on the wartime advise-and-assist experience of both conventional forces (CF) and special operations forces (SOF). Few scholars have written about the nature of warfare in phase 0 or the strategic utility of special operations campaigns to develop capable and competent forces for partner nations. Fewer still have studied the comprehensive integration of SOF and CF to achieve the policy goals associated with building partner capacity. This monograph identifies gaps in the progression of history, theory, and doctrine for partner force advising and for phase 0 operations in general that contribute to differing cultural attitudes towards these mission and environments between SOF and CF. SOF are proven highly effective in building partner capacity with minimal CF integration, but only when certain criteria are present. When environments are suboptimal, there is insufficient evidence to suggest how these forces might campaign together to complement each other's capabilities and build partner capacity more effectively.＜/p＞ ＜p＞US national security policy states that countering the global terrorist network which threatens US and allied interests requires support via an indirect approach through and with the military capacity of our partner nations. Threat groups based in weak and failed states uniformly exploit the undergoverned spaces where US partner nations lack the capacity to deny those spaces to the terrorist or insurgent. US security policy ends therefore include both defeating the terrorist network and supporting partner nation stability. The policy of building partner capacity is the way to achieve those ends, through whole-of-government actions to improve the security, development, and governance abilities of the partner nation. All services of the US military are tasked with preparing for and conducting stability operations, including the partner force development aspects of BPC. Special operations forces will find themselves involved in or leading nearly all these efforts, and must integrate with all capable and potential partners to most effectively support US strategic and policy goals.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 743円 |

 The Necessity of Choice Nineteenth Century Political Thought【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Louis Hartz is best known for his classic study, ＜em＞The Liberal Tradition in America＜/em＞. At Harvard University, his lecture course on nineteenth-century politics and ideologies was memorable. Through the editorial hand of Paul Roazen, we can now share the experience of Hartz's considerable contributions to the theory of politics.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At the root of Hartz's work is the belief that revolution is not produced by misery, but by pressure of a new system on an old one. This approach enables him to explain sharp differences in revolutionary traditions. Because America essentially was a liberal society from its beginning and had no need for revolutions, America also lacked reactionaries, and lacked a tradition of genuine conservatism characteristic of European thought.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In lectures embracing Rousseau, Burke, Comte, Hegel, Mill, and Marx among others, Hartz develops a keen sense of the delicate balance between the role of the state in both enhancing and limiting personal freedom. Hartz notably insisted on the autonomy of intellectual life and the necessity of individual choice as an essential ingredient of liberty.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 7,550円 |
 The Necessity of Social Control【電子書籍】[ Istv?n M?sz?ros ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞As John Bellamy Foster writes in his foreword to the present book, “Istv?n M?sz?ros is one of the greatest philosophers that the historical materialist tradition has yet produced. His work stands practically alone today in the depth of its analysis of Marx’s theory of alienation, the structural crisis of capital, the demise of Soviet-style post-revolutionary societies, and the necessary conditions of the transition to socialism. His dialectical inquiry into social structure and forms of consciousnessーa systematic critique of the prevailing forms of thoughtーis unequaled in our time.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞M?sz?ros is the author of magisterial works like Beyond Capital and Social Structures of Forms of Consciousness, but his work can seem daunting to those unacquainted with his thought. Here, for the first time, is a concise and accessible overview of M?sz?ros’s ideas, designed by the author himself and covering the broad scope of his work, from the shortcomings of bourgeois economics to the degeneration of the capital system to the transition to socialism.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 3,088円 |

 The Necessity of God Ontological Claims Revisited【電子書籍】[ R. T. Allen ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Every person acquires a worldview, a picture of reality. Within that picture, the existence of some things will be taken wholly for granted as the background to, and support of, everything else. Their existence will rarely be questioned. The cosmos or universe, the gods, God, Brahman, Heaven, the Absolute--R. T. Allen claims that all these and other world- views have been held to be that which necessarily exists and upon which all other beings depend in one way or another.European philosophers, since antiquity, have offered arguments to show that their chosen candidates for the role of the necessary being or beings that support the rest of reality do actually exist. The Necessity of God sets the valid core of previous ontological arguments. It does not and cannot prove that God exists, but only that something necessarily exists. In an a priori manner and without inferring anything from what in fact exists, Allen proceeds to show that which necessarily exists is one, transfinite, eternal, and the archetype of personal existence: in short, that it is God as classically conceived. As for everything else that may exist, it must be finite and dependent for its existence upon God as its creator and sustainer.Few things are more erroneous in philosophy and disastrous in practice than artificial constructions produced without constant reference to concrete reality. That which necessarily exists may be the one exception. Before this constructive argument, Allen examines previous examples of ontological arguments in order to show exactly where they go wrong and to extract the valid core obscured within them. This will make clear the difference between them and his new version. The reader who is eager to engage the philosophical sources of belief will find a distinct treasure in The Necessity of God.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 7,877円 |
