The Nature of Morality: An Introduction to Ethics
ISBN: 9780195021431 / Angielski / Miękka / 1977 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is a philosophical introduction to ethics. It differs from existing texts by focusing on a basic philosophical problem about morality, its apparent immunity from observational testing. Other texts either ignore this issue altogether, in order to concentrate on interesting but largely nonphilosophical discussions of moral problems, or treat the issue as only one of several highly technical questions in something called 'meta-ethics.'

The Nature of Explanation
ISBN: 9780195037432 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Offering a new approach to scientific explanation, this book focuses initially on the explaining act itself. From that act, a "product" emerges: an explanation. To understand what that product is, as well as how it can be evaluated in the sciences, reference must be made to the concept of the explaining act. Following an account of the explaining act, its product, and the evaluation of explanations, the theory is brought to bear on these issues: Why have the standard models of scientific explanation been unsuccessful, and can there be a model of the type sought? What is causal explanation,...

The best recent work is represented in essays by Donagan, Foot, Hare, Marcus, Nagel, van Fraassen, Williams, and others.
