Вечное возвращение всех вещей, здешнее как отражение запредельного… Эта доктрина, известная тысячи лет, смыкается с учениями Пифагора и Гераклита, атомистов и стоиков, даже неоплатоников, хотя формально последние и не принимали её. Связанная с ней полемика была интенсивной B ранней и поздней Античности, немного угасла B Средневековье и Новое время, но ныне, благодаря философу Фридриху Ницше, стала вновь актуальной. В книге рассматриваются основные положения этой доктрины, как выясняется, глубочайшие, при этом акцентируется её принципиальное отличие от концепции циклических повторений. В ракурсе данной доктрины обсуждаются «вечные вопросы», преследующие человечество с изначальных времён. Среди них происхождение мира, судьба мимолётного, перспективы по ту сторону смерти, смысл и бессмысленность жизни, вообще бытия, время обычное и время B вечности, звёздное небо и бесконечность, тайна ничто.

Philosophy for busy people. Read a succinct account of the philosophy of Dewey in just one hour.In early twentieth-century America John Dewey was regarded as the foremost philosopher of his age – no mean feat when his colleagues included the likes of Russell, Wittgenstein and Heidegger. Dewey produced a distinctly American philosophy, essentially different from that of his European contemporaries – his pragmatic theory of ‘instrumentalism’ or ‘experimentalism’, relying on modern experimental methods to prove truth and reality. Dewey saw the ultimate reality as being nothing more or less than that which we encounter in everyday life – there is no mystery hidden within.Here is a concise, expert account of Dewey’s life and philosophical ideas, entertainingly written and easy to understand. Also included are selections from Dewey’s work, suggested further reading and chronologies that place Dewey in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.

Philosophy for busy people. Read a succinct account of the philosophy of Derrida in just one hour.Jacques Derrida’s ‘deconstructionism’ is nothing less than an effort to destroy all ‘writing’ by demonstrating its inevitable falsehood. The writer writes but does not know what he is writing. Derrida argues that all texts have their own hidden agenda and contain their own metaphysical assumptions – the writer’s very language inevitably distorts what he thinks and writes. The ‘truth’ of all our knowledge is thus undermined; post-structuralism arrives.Here is a concise, expert account of Derrida’s life and philosophical ideas – entertainingly written and easy to understand. Also included are selections from Derrida’s work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Derrida in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.
