A Critical Rationalist Aesthetics
ISBN: 9789042023673 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is a first attempt to cover the whole area of aesthetics from the point of view of critical rationalism. It takes up and expands upon the more narrowly focused work of E. H. Gombrich, Sheldon Richmond, and Raphael Sassower and Louis Ciccotello. The authors integrate the arts into the scientific world view and acknowledge that there is an aesthetic aspect to anything whatsoever. They pay close attention to the social situatedness of the arts. Their aesthetics treats art as emerging from craft in the form of luxurious and playful challenge to the audience. In developing it they place...

Philosophy from a Skeptical Perspective
ISBN: 9780521726399 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One of the questions that philosophers discuss is: How can we avoid, or at least reduce, errors when explaining the world? The skeptical answer to this question is: We cannot avoid errors since no statement is certain or even definitely plausible, but we can eliminate some past errors. This book advocates the skeptical position and discusses its practical applications in science, ethics, aesthetics, and politics. It brings philosophy down to earth and comprises an outline of a skeptical guide to the real world.

Science and Culture
ISBN: 9781402011566 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Science and Culture, Joseph Agassi addresses scientism and relativism, two false philosophies that divorce science from culture in general and from tradition in particular. According to Agassi, science is an integral part of culture, and both scientism and relativism ignore the cultural value of science. This work helps break the isolation of science from the rest of culture by promoting popular science and reasonable history of science. Agassi provides examples of the value of science to culture at large, discussions of items of the general culture and their interactions...

Rationality: The Critical View
ISBN: 9789024734559 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In our papers on the rationality of magic, we distinghuished, for purposes of analysis, three levels of rationality. First and lowest (rationalitYl) the goal directed action of an agent with given aims and circumstances, where among his circumstances we included his knowledge and opinions. On this level the magician's treatment of illness by incantation is as rational as any traditional doctor's blood-letting or any modern one's use of anti-biotics. At the second level (rationalitY2) we add the element of rational thinking or thinking which obeys some set of explicit rules, a level which is...

Paranoia: A Study in Diagnosis
ISBN: 9789027707048 / Angielski / Twarda / 1976 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There is a curious parallel between the philosophy of science and psychiatric theory. The so-called demarcation question, which has exercised philosophers of science over the last decades, posed the problem of distinguishing science proper from non-science - in par- ticular, from metaphysics, from pseudo-science, from the non- rational or irrational, or from the untestable or the empirically meaningless. In psychiatric theory, the demarcation question appears as a problem of distinguishing the sane from the insane, the well from the mentally ill. The parallelism is interesting when the...

Diagnosis: Philosophical and Medical Perspectives
ISBN: 9780792308454 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 1. GENERAL The term "diagnostics" refers to the general theory of diagnosis, not to the study of specific diagnoses but to their general framework. It borrows from different sciences and from different philosophies. Traditionally, the general framework of diagnostics was not distinguished from the framework of medicine. It was not taught in special courses in any systematic way; it was not accorded special attention: students absorbed it intuitively. There is almost no comprehensive study of diagnostics. The instruction in diagnosis provided in medical schools is exclusively specific....

Relativism and the Social Sciences
ISBN: 9780521337984 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume of essays deals with the problem of relativism, in particular cultural relativism. If our society knows better than other societies, how do we know that it knows better? There is a profound irony in the fact that this self-doubt has become most acute in the one civilisation that has persuaded the rest of the world to emulate it. The claim to cognitive superiority is often restricted, of course, to the limited sphere of natural science and technology; and that immediately raises the second main theme of this volume - the differences between the human and natural sciences. These...
