Preference, Value, Choice, and Welfare
ISBN: 9781107015432 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is about preferences, principally as they figure in economics. It also explores their uses in everyday language and action, how they are understood in psychology, and how they figure in philosophical reflection on action and morality. The book clarifies and for the most part defends the way in which economists invoke preferences to explain, predict, and assess behavior and outcomes. Hausman argues, however, that the predictions and explanations economists offer rely on theories of preference formation that are in need of further development, and he criticizes attempts to define...

Mother's Milk: Breastfeeding Controversies in American Culture
ISBN: 9780415966573 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mother's Milk examines why nursing a baby is an ideologically charged experience in contemporary culture.

Breastfeeding controversies, she argues, reveal social tensions around the meaning of women's bodies, the authority of science, and the value of maternity in American culture. A provocative and multi-faceted work,...

"Changing Sex" takes a bold new approach to the study of transsexualism in the twentieth century. By addressing the significance of medical technology to the phenomenon of transsexualism, Bernice L.

ISBN: 9780521052429 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Causation is asymmetrical in many different ways.

This book by one of the preeminent philosophers of science writing today offers the most comprehensive account available of causal asymmetries. It is a major book for philosophers of science that will also prove insightful to economists and statisticians.

Charles S. Peirce's Evolutionary Philosophy
ISBN: 9780521597364 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hausman has written a book whose purpose is to present Peirce's evolutionary realism as his systematic position. The book follows the thread of Peirce's Pragmaticism from its conception, through the theory of signs, the phenomenology and derivation of the categories to the concept of Synechism, which Hausman takes as the heart of Peirce's evolutionary realism. This is a well-organized discussion of Peirce's work, introducing a continuity to his theories. This book is recommended for upper-level undergraduate philosophy majors and graduate students, as well as professional philosophers.

Homebuyers are savvier this time around though, and go into the process better educated and armed with information. The recession taught some hard lessons, but...
