The Ethics of Creativity: Beauty, Morality, and Nature in a Processive Cosmos
ISBN: 9780822963226 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A central concern of nearly every environmental ethic is its desire to extend the scope of direct moral concern beyond human beings to plants, nonhuman animals, and the systems of which they are a part. Although nearly all environmental philosophies have long since rejected modernity's conception of individuals as isolated and independent substances, few have replaced this worldview with an alternative that is adequate to the organic, processive world in which we find ourselves. In this context, Brian G. Henning argues that the often overlooked work of Alfred North Whitehead has the...

Thinking with Whitehead and the American Pragmatists: Experience and Reality
ISBN: 9780739190319 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Despite there being deep lines of convergence between the philosophies of Alfred North Whitehead, C. S. Peirce, William James, John Dewey, and other classical American philosophers, it remains an open question whether Whitehead is a pragmatist, and conversation between pragmatists and Whitehead scholars have been limited. Indeed, it is difficult to find an anthology of classical American philosophy that includes Whitehead's writings. These camps began separately, and so they remain. This volume questions the wisdom of that separation, exploring their connections, both historical and in...

Beyond Mechanism: Putting Life Back Into Biology
ISBN: 9781498511223 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It has been said that new discoveries and developments in the human, social, and natural sciences hang "in the air" (Bowler, 1983; 2008) prior to their consummation. While neo-Darwinist biology has been powerfully served by its mechanistic metaphysic and a reductionist methodology in which living organisms are considered machines, many of the chapters in this volume place this paradigm into question. Pairing scientists and philosophers together, this volume explores what might be termed "the New Frontiers" of biology, namely contemporary areas of research that appear to call an updating, a...

Beyond Metaphysics? : Explorations in Alfred North Whitehead's Late Thought
ISBN: 9789042031210 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Alfred North Whitehead's interpreters usually pay less attention to his later monographs and essays. Process and Reality is taken to be the definitive center of the Whiteheadian universe and the later works, thereby, appear to many only as applications or elaborations of themes already introduced earlier. Yet, is it also possible that the dominance of this perspective has obscured or even distorted further creative developments of Whitehead's thought? This volume offers a sort of Copernican revolution in Whitehead interpretation, methodologically and conceptually inviting its contributors to...
