Beyond Evolution: Human Nature and the Limits of Evolutionary Explanation
ISBN: 9780198242543 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this controversial new book O'Hear takes a stand against the fashion for explaining human behavior in terms of evolution. He contends that while the theory of evolution is successful in explaining the development of the natural world in general, it is of limited value when applied to the human world. Because of our reflectiveness and our rationality we take on goals and ideals which cannot be justified in terms of survival-promotion or reproductive advantage. O'Hear examines the nature of human self-consciousness, and argues that evolutionary theory cannot give a satisfactory account of...

The Element of Fire : Science, Art and the Human World
ISBN: 9780415727754 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. First published in 1988, the aim of this book can be stated in Nietzsche's words: 'To look at science from the perspective of the artist, but at art from that of life'. The title contests the notions that science alone can provide us with the most objective truth about the world, and that artistic endeavour can produce nothing more valuable than entertainment. O'Hear argues that art and the study of art are not indispensable aspects of human life, and that this is equally as important as the investigation of the natural world.

This balanced and up-to-date introduction to the philosophy of science covers all the main topics in the area, and initiates the student into the moral and social reality of science.

The School of Freedom: A Liberal Education Reader from Plato to the Present Day
ISBN: 9781845401344 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Liberal education is not a theory. It is the tradition by which Western civilisation has preserved and enriched its inheritance for two and a half thousand years. Yet liberal education is a term that has fallen from use in Britain, its traditional meaning now freely confused with its opposite. This book is intended to correct that misapprehension, through the presentation of original source material from the high points in the liberal education tradition with particular focus on the British experience. Section 1: Origins (c. 450 BC to c. 450 AD) Section 2: The British Tradition (c. 750 to... Liberal education is not a theory.

Philosophy and Religion
ISBN: 9781107615984 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Surprising as it might have seemed not so long ago, in recent times religion has once again become a focus of lively debate. The exchanges between those for and against religion have, however, often thrown up heat, rather than light. As an attempted corrective, The Royal Institute of Philosophy asked a number of distinguished philosophers who are interested in religion to contribute to its annual lecture series for 2008-2009. This volume contains essays based on the lectures. The topics covered include natural theology, for and against, miracles, the debates about Darwinism, spirituality,...

Philosophy, Biology and Life
ISBN: 9780521678452 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. It has been claimed that following the decline of Marxism and Freudianism, Darwinism has become the dominant intellectual paradigm of our day. In the mass media there are many bitter disputes between today's new Darwinians and their opponents, often over religion. But the 'neo-Darwinian paradigm' is not as simple or as seamless as either its advocates or its opponents would sometimes have us believe. Biology is in a state of development which defies the standard stereotypes. The papers in this volume, written by some of the leading philosophers in the field, bring out many of the fascinating...

Experience, Explanation and Faith: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion
ISBN: 9781138969308 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this book Anthony O'Hear examines the reasons that are given for religious faith. His approach is firmly within the classical tradition of natural theology, but an underlying theme is the differences between the personal Creator of the Bible or the Koran and a God conceived of as the indeterminate ground of everything determinate. Drawing on several religious traditions and on the resources of contemporary philosophy, specific chapters analyse the nature of religious faith and of religious experience. They examine connections between religion and morality, and religion and human... In this book Anthony O'Hear examines the reasons that are given for religious faith.
