John Hunt
The book tells for the first time the remarkable life story of John Hunt, one of the world's greatest medievalists and someone whose legacy to Ireland lives on today with most of the major cultural attractions in the Shannon region including Bunratty Castle and Folk Park and the Hunt Museum, owing their existence to either his initiative or generosity. Details of his family background are also provided which differ greatly from those previously published. This biography brings together a host of information about one of the most remarkable figures in the 20th century art scene, who collected treasures can be found in some of the world's major museums.
En defensa de España
La Fundación DENAES, para la Defensa de la Nación española, ha elaborado este texto institucional en el que cumplidamente ofrecemos, del modo más abierto pero también más exhaustivo posible, todo el bagaje argumental e ideológico que da sentido e inspira tanto nuestra razón de ser como la diaria actividad que desarrollamos con un primordial objetivo: rescatar y fomentar desde la sociedad civil el conocimiento y la reivindicación de la Nación Española y de la realidad histórica, política, social y cultural a la que ésta ha estado durante siglos inseparablemente unida. Es imprescindible destacar que no cabe confundir soberanía nacional y soberanía popular (concepto de origen ro...
The World of Parmenides
This unique collection of essays, published together for the first time, not only elucidates the complexity of ancient Greek thought, but also reveals Karl Popper's engagement with Presocratic philosophy and the enlightenment he experienced in his reading of Parmenides. As Karl Popper himself states himself in his introduction, he was inspired to write about Presocratic philosophy for two reasons - firstly to illustrate the thesis that all history is the history of problem situations and secondly, to show the greatness of the early Greek philosophers, who gave Europe its philosophy, its science and its humanism.
The Art of Flying
When published in 2009, The Art of Flying was hailed as a landmark in the history of the graphic novel in Spain for its deeply touching synthesis of individual and collective memories. A deeply personal testament, Altarriba’s account of what led his father to commit suicide at the age of ninety is a detective novel of sorts, one that traces his father’s life from an impoverished childhood in Aragon, to service with Franco’s army in the Civil war, escape to join the anarchist FAI, exile in France when the Republicans are defeated, to return to Spain in 1949 and the stultifying existence to which Republican sympathisers were consigned under Francoism. The Art of Flying is immensely moving and vivid, beautifully drawn by Kim. It was highly praised in Spain on first publication, where it was compared to Art Spiegelman’s Maus. It went on to win six major prizes, including the 2010 National Comic Prize.
Der Briefwechsel mit Bartholomäus Des Bosses
In seinem Briefwechsel mit Des Bosses – geführt in den letzten zehn Jahren bis zu seinem Tod – erörtert Leibniz (1646–1716) alle Aspekte seines komplexen philosophischen Systems von der Metaphysik über die Ontologie bis hin zur Religionsphilosophie. Ein 'muss' für jeden Leibniz-Interpreten. Diese Ausgabe erfüllt ein Desideratum: Sie bietet erstmalig eine durchgängige Übersetzung und Aufarbeitung des Briefwechsels zwischen Leibniz und Des Bosses aus den Jahren 1706 bis 1716, eine der wichtigsten Grundlagen für das Verständnis der Philosophie Leibnizens im Stadium ihrer Vollendung! Die Ausgabe von Cornelius Zehetner reiht sich würdig an frühere kommentierte Übersetzungen: den...

The Happiness Delusion
Challenging the received wisdom surrounding the term “happiness”, the Spanish philosopher Gustavo Bueno (1924-2016) sets his critical eye on the mass of literature bought and sold on highly dubious assumptions. With his trademark erudition and precision, Bueno breaks down the ignorance feeding into these assumptions, laying out a classification of the incompatible and often unconscious models in play. In doing so, he deploys his system of philosophy - philosophical materialism - to comprehensively shred the Western canon, history and science to lay the foundations for a much better informed understanding of “happiness”. This translation brings to an English-language audience the first book-length translation of the work of one of Spain’s leading philosophers over the last 50 years, one whose system of philosophy has influenced countless thinkers in Spain and abroad.
