Patterns, Thinking, and Cognition: A Theory of Judgment
ISBN: 9780226505282 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 339 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What happens when we think? How do people make judgments? While different theories abound and are heatedly debated most are based on an algorithmic model of how the brain works. Howard Margolis builds a fascinating case for a theory that thinking is based on recognizing patterns and that this process is intrinsically a-logical. Margolis gives a Darwinian account of how pattern recognition evolved to reach human cognitive abilities.
Illusions of judgment standard anomalies where people consistently misjudge or misperceive what is logically implied or really present are often used in... What happens when we think?

What, After All, Is a Work of Art?: Lectures in the Philosophy of Art
ISBN: 9780271018669 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What, After All, Is a Work of Art? directs our attention toward historicity, the inherent historied nature of thinking, and the artifactual, culturally emergent nature of both art and human selves. While these are familiar themes in Margolis's well-known studies of art and culture, they are largely neglected in English-language aesthetics and even philosophy in general. Margolis brings these primary themes to bear on a number of strategically selected issues: the modernism/postmodernism dispute; the treatment of modernist and "post-historical" painting in Clement Greenberg...

Persons and Minds: The Prospects of Nonreductive Materialism
ISBN: 9789027708632 / Angielski / Miękka / 1977 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Persons and Minds is an inquiry into the possibilities of materialism. Professor Margolis starts his investigation, however, with a critique of the range of contemporary materialist theories, and does not find them viable. None of them, he argues, "can accommodate in a convincing way the most distinctive features of the mental life of men and oflower creatures and the imaginative possibilities of discovery and technology" (p. 8). In an extraordinarily rich analysis, Margolis carefully considers and criticizes mind-body identity theories, physicalism, eliminative materialism, behaviorism, as...

The Unraveling of Scientism: American Philosophy at the End of the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780801441523 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Unraveling of Scientism, a companion to Joseph Margolis's Reinventing Pragmatism, follows the thread of American analytic philosophy through the second half of the twentieth century, the period of its greatest influence and activity. Margolis finds that the distinctive features of analytic philosophy were effectively altered, at about mid-century, most pointedly by W. V. Quine. Surprisingly, this was a time of declining conceptual invention and originality among the leading strands of philosophy pragmatism, logical positivism and the unity of science program, and the principal continental...

The Arts and the Definition of the Human: Toward a Philosophical Anthropology
ISBN: 9780804759533 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 199 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Arts and the Definition of the Human introduces a novel theory that our selves--our thoughts, perceptions, creativity, and other qualities that make us human--are determined by our place in history, and more particularly by our culture and language. Margolis rejects the idea that any concepts or truths remain fixed and objective through the flow of history and reveals that this theory of the human being (or "philosophical anthropology") as culturally determined and changing is necessary to make sense of art. He shows that a painting, sculpture, or poem cannot have a single correct...

Pragmatism's Advantage: American and European Philosophy at the End of the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780804762687 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book addresses the rift between major philosophical factions in the United States, which the author describes as a "philosophically becalmed" three-legged creature made up of analytic philosophy, continental philosophy, and pragmatism. Joseph Margolis offers a modified pragmatism as the best way out of this stalemate. Whether he is examining Heidegger or rethinking the foibles of Dewey, Rorty, and Peirce, much of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Western philosophy comes into play as Margolis presents his history of philosophy's evolution and defends his views. He does not, however, mean...

A Brief History of Tomorrow: The Future Past and Present
ISBN: 9780747553359 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Unless something really remarkable happens like Armageddon or a dot.com company declaring profits as we enter the year 2001, things will stay pretty much as they are: images of Princess Diana will still appear in magazines everywhere, the railways will still use rolling stock built in the sixties, and old men driving cars will still inexplicably wear hats and gloves. But behind the facade of normality the future is taking shape. With Sam Goldwyn's famous saying 'Never predict anything - especially the future' firmly in mind, Jonathan Margolis inoculates himself against the pitfalls of...

Selfishness, Altruism, and Rationality
ISBN: 9780226505244 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Why do we volunteer time? Why do we contribute money? Why, even, do we vote, if the effect of a single vote is negligible? Rationality-based microeconomic models are hard-pressed to explain such social behavior, but Howard Margolis proposes a solution. He suggests that within each person there are two selves, one selfish and the other group-oriented, and that the individual follows a Darwinian rule for allocating resources between those two selves.
"Howard Margolis's intriguing ideas . . . provide an alternative to the crude models of rational choice that have dominated economics and... Why do we volunteer time? Why do we contribute money? Why, even, do we vote, if the effect of a single vote is negligible? Rationality-based microecon...
