Beyond individual happiness, the book considers the significance of a just and harmonious society. The author emphasizes the role of education, social institutions, and ethics in shaping a thriving community.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolving electoral process of the Holy Roman Empire in the 13th and 14th centuries. Set against a backdrop of wider debates on the nature of leadership and the tension between dynastic and elective principles in medieval society, this study questions the traditional narrative with new critical analysis of historical sources. The author provides fresh insights into the roles of key individuals, such as King Rudolf of Habsburg, in shaping the development of the electoral system. Using original source material, the author also challenges the reliability of the Styrian rhyming chronicle, a primary source often used to depict the events of the period. The book ultimately argues that the election of Adolf of Nassau was not the result of a carefully planned conspiracy, but rather emerged from complex political dynamics that are only fully revealed through a meticulous reading of the historical record. It sheds new light on the interplay of ambition, negotiation, and compromise that shaped the political landscape of the medieval Empire.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical relationship between Immanuel Kant's critical philosophy and the origins of Auguste Comte's positive philosophy. The author examines the extent to which Comte's ideas were influenced by Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, Critique of Practical Reason, and Critique of Judgment. While acknowledging Comte's rejection of metaphysics and theology, the book argues that his positive philosophy nevertheless shares important affinities with Kant's philosophy, particularly in its emphasis on the limits of human knowledge and the importance of a scientific approach to understanding the world.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the nature and origins of the authority enjoyed by the Visconti family over Milan. The author argues the Visconti's claim of authority derived from two primary sources. The first, their role as imperial vicars, or representatives of the Holy Roman Emperor, an institution dating back to the reign of Frederick Barbarossa and rekindled during the reign of Henry VII. The second source of authority came from the people of Milan itself, who periodically granted the Visconti broad governing powers through the city's administrative councils and assemblies. This book traces the development of both sources of authority from the 13th to the 15th century, placing special emphasis on the struggle between the Visconti and the papacy. The significance of this struggle extended far beyond the confines of Milan, as it reflected the deep-seated tensions between secular and ecclesiastical authority which marked the later Middle Ages.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes and characterizes the lesser-known figures of the Viennese court who shaped and contributed to numismatics and the art of coin design within the Habsburg monarchy.

The author positions these figures within broader historical and literary contexts, revealing the richness of numismatics as an academic field and its wider significance in Austrian intellectual life. This book is a major contribution to the field of numismatics and will be of interest to historians, collectors, and anyone interested in Vienna's vibrant past.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth study of the philosophy of Aristotle, offering a fresh analysis of the fundamental concepts and themes in his thought. The author explores Aristotle's theories on logic, metaphysics, and ethics, as well as his ideas on the nature of reality, knowledge, and the good life. The book's central argument is that Aristotle's philosophy is best understood as a unified system of thought, in which each element is interconnected and mutually supportive. The author contends that this unity is most clearly evident in Aristotle's concept of "substance," which he understands as a being that exists independently of other things and has the capacity for independent action. This concept is the foundation of Aristotle's philosophy, and it provides a unifying thread that runs through all of his work. The author also examines Aristotle's theory of knowledge, arguing that Aristotle believed that knowledge is acquired through a process of rational inquiry. This inquiry begins with the observation of the world around us, and it proceeds through the formation and testing of hypotheses. Aristotle believed that the ultimate goal of knowledge is to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the world, and he argued that this can only be achieved through the use of reason. In the final section of the book, the author discusses Aristotle's ethical theory, arguing that Aristotle believed that the ultimate goal of human life is happiness. Aristotle believed that happiness is achieved through the exercise of virtue, and he identified four cardinal virtues: courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom. The author argues that Aristotle's ethical theory is a sophisticated and nuanced account of the human good, and it remains relevant to this day. Overall, this book is a valuable contribution to the study of Aristotle's philosophy. The author provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of Aristotle's thought, offering a fresh perspective on one of the most influential philosophers in Western history.
