Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
The roots of evil are often held to be Biblical, but philosophers in ancient China and Greece were thoroughly conversant with both the phenomena and the languages of evil. This volume provides a comparative examination of patterns of evil in ancient Chinese and Greek philosophy.
With no genealogical connections to rely on, the comparativist must establish a framework to connect these traditions. This volume utilizes the notion of "patterns" to address worries of methodological and ethical incommensurability, and to show what this means for the practice of comparative philosophy. In the case of evil, this methodology requires diving deep into the linguistic and political murk where evil lurks, with its deep roots in human dispositions for experience and action. The nine chapters are arranged in two parts. Those of Part I are written by scholars with a strong background in comparative philosophy and offer a substantial analysis of how both traditions respond to a specific aspect of the phenomenology of evil. Those of Part II are ?twinned? chapters, that is, chapters that discuss similar topics in close dialogue with one another, but each does it from within either of these traditions. The volume is concluded with a reflection on the varieties of comparative strategies employed in the nine chapters.
Patterns of Evil in Ancient Chinese and Greek Philosophy will appeal to scholars and graduate students interested in comparative philosophy, ancient Greek philosophy, early Chinese philosophy, and the problem of evil quite generally.
