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.

Recent years have seen a growth of interest in the great English idealist thinker T. H. Green (1836-82) as philosophers have begun to overturn received opinions of his thought and to rediscover his original and important contributions to ethics, metaphysics, and political philosophy. This collection of essays by leading experts, all but one published here for the first time, introduces and critically examines his ideas both in their context and in their relevance to contemporary debates.
The main achievement of the editors and contributors to this well organized book is that of revealing that a philosophy which, like Green's, has usually been remained obscure and difficult to approach, can give fresh stimulus to political and philosophical debates that too often seem to get bogged down in fruitless oppositions which only push away reasonable solutions. By reading this book, anyone who is interested in current debates would have the possibility of being surprised by a philosopher who for so long has been unfairly undervalued and stereotyped.
