Reason and Action
ISBN: 9789027708052 / Angielski / Twarda / 1977 / 207 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Philosophers writing on the subject of human action have found it tempting to introduce their subject by raising Wittgenstein's question, 'What is left over if you subtract the fact that my arm goes up from the fact that I raise my arm?' The presumption is that something of particular interest is involved in an action of raising an arm that is not present in a mere bodily movement, and the philosopher's task is to specify just what this is. Unfortunately, such an approach does not take us very far, since a person could properly be said to raise his (or her) arm while asleep or hypnotized even...

Knowledge of the External World
ISBN: 9780415755474 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many philosophers believe that the traditional problem of our knowledge of the external world was dissolved by Wittgestein and others. They argue that it was not really a problem - just a linguistic 'confusion' that did not actually require a solution. Bruce Aune argues that they are wrong. He casts doubt on the generally accepted reasons for putting the problem aside and proposes an entirely new approach. By considering the history of the problem from Descartes to Kant, Aune shows that analogous arguments create difficulties for the contemporary philosophical consensus. He makes it clear...

Knowledge of the External World
ISBN: 9780415047470 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This analysis of knowledge of the external world, a central problem in philosophy, considers the history of the problem in the work of such modern philosophers as Descartes, Locke, Berkeley, Kant and Mill. Turning to current debates, the author then argues that the problem has re-emerged. He undertakes a revision of empiricist epistemology and the development of the required theory of inference, basing the logical structure of the latter on probability calculus and on a conception of justifiable belief formation.

An Empiricist Theory of Knowledge
ISBN: 9781439236000 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. After decades of neglect, empiricism is returning to the philosophical scene. This book joins the trend, presenting an exposition and defense of an up to date version of empiricism. Earlier versions were brushed aside mainly by epistemic rationalists who believe in synthetic a priori truths and followers of W.V.O. Quine who think all truths are a posteriori. Aune rebuts the criticisms of both groups and defends an improved account of analytic truth. His last two chapters are concerned with empirical knowledge, the first with observation and memory and the second with the logic of experimental...
