A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge
ISBN: 9780198751618 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this exceptional work Berkeley makes the striking claim that physical things consist of nothing but ideas and therefore do not exist outside the mind. This claim establishes him as the founder of the idealist tradition in philosophy. The text printed in this volume is the 1734 edition of the Principles, which represents Berkeley's mature thought. Also included are four important letters between George Berkeley and Samuel Johnson, written between 1729 and 1730, an analysis of the Principles, and a glossary.

Plato's Introduction of Forms
ISBN: 9780521037181 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. R.M. Dancy explains the Theory of Forms of the Phaedo and Symposium as the outgrowth of the quest for definitions canvassed in the Socratic dialogues. He, therefore, constructs a Theory of Definition for the Socratic dialogues based on the refutations of definitions in those dialogues, and shows how that theory is mirrored in the Theory of Forms. His discussion ranges in detail over a number of Plato's early and middle dialogues, and will be of interest to readers in Plato studies and in ancient philosophy more generally.

Kant and Critique: New Essays in Honor of W.H. Werkmeister
ISBN: 9780792322443 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. On 5-6 April 1991, there was a conference on Kant at Florida State University; this volume collects the (revised versions ofthe) papers presented on that occasion. The occasion was, give or take a few months, the 90th birthday of Professor (Emeritus) William H. Werkmeister. Werkie (as all his friends call hirn) hirnself gave the final paper at this conference. Hence the inclusion of a paper by Werkie in a volume honoring hirn. Although he is primarily known for his expertise in the field of Kantian philosophy, Werkie's published scholarship has spanned a wide range of subjects for more than...

The Nature of True Minds
ISBN: 9780521424004 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book aims at reconciling the emerging conceptions of mind and their contents that have, in recent years, come to seem irreconcilable. Post-Cartesian philosophers face the challenge of comprehending minds as natural objects possessing apparently non-natural powers of thought. The difficulty is to understand how our mental capacities, no less than our biological or chemical characteristics, might ultimately be products of our fundamental physical constituents, and to do so in a way that preserves the phenomena. Externalists argue that the significance of thought turns on the circumstances...

On Action
ISBN: 9780521388184 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book deals with foundational issues in the history of the nature of action, the intentionality of action, the compatibility of freedom of action with determinism, and the explanation of action. Ginet's is a volitional view: that every action has as its core a "simple" mental action. He develops a sophisticated account of the individuation of actions and also propounds a challenging version of the view that freedom of action is incompatible with determinism.

The First-Person Perspective and Other Essays
ISBN: 9780521568715 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The essays in this collection deal with the way in which we know our own minds. Professor Shoemaker opposes the "inner sense" conception of introspective self-knowledge. He defends the view that perceptual and sensory states have nonrepresentational features--"qualia"--that determine what it is like to have them. Among the other topics covered are the unity of consciousness, and the idea that the "first-person perspective" gives a privileged route to philosophical understanding of the nature of mind.

Understanding Phenomenal Consciousness
ISBN: 9780521834636 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Focusing on sensory experience and perception qualities to present a dualistic view of the mind (called Qualitative Event Realism), this book doesn't conform to the dominant materialist views. Its theory is relevant to the development of a science of consciousness now being pursued, not only by philosophers, but by researchers in psychology and the neurosciences.

Morality and Action
ISBN: 9780521446969 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Warren Quinn was widely regarded as a moral philosopher of remarkable talent. This collection of his most important contributions to moral philosophy and the philosophy of action has been edited for publication by Philippa Foot. Quinn laid out the foundations for an anti-utilitarian moral philosophy that was critical of much contemporary work in ethics, such as the anti-realism of Gilbert Harman and the neo-subjectivism of Bernard Williams. Quinn's own distinctive moral theory is developed in the discussion of substantial, practical moral issues. For example, there are important pieces here...

Object and Property
ISBN: 9780521550109 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this work, Professor Arda Denkel develops a unified ontology of objecthood, essences and causation. A principal tenet is that while the basic units of the physical world are substances, particular properties are the analytic ultimates of existence. Although properties must inhere in objects, individual things are nothing more than compresences of properties at particular positions. There exist no mysterious substrata. Principles explaining how properties are held together in compresences are basically the same as those that account for essences and for causal relations. There exist no...

Theories of Vagueness
ISBN: 9780521033893 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Vague expressions, such as "heap," "red" and "child," proliferate throughout natural languages, and an increasing amount of philosophical attention is being directed at theories of the logic and semantics associated with them. In this book Rosanna Keefe explores the questions of what we should want from theories of vagueness and how we should compare them. Her powerful and original study will be of interest to readers in philosophy of language and of mind, philosophical logic, epistemology and metaphysics.

Mind and Supermind
ISBN: 9780521812030 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Portraying the mind as a two-level structure, this book analyzes the architecture of the human mind. Thus, it demonstrates that the mind consists of a basic mind and a supermind--the former non-conscious and non-linguistic, the latter conscious and language-involving. Claiming that philosophers and psychologists have failed to distinguish these levels, Keith Frankish argues that this failure has stood in the way of the successful explanation of a number of puzzling mental phenomena. His book will be valued by philosophers, psychologists, and cognitive scientists.
