The Completeness of Scientific Theories: On the Derivation of Empirical Indicators Within a Theoretical Framework: The Case of Physical Geometry
ISBN: 9780792324751 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Earlier in this century, many philosophers of science (for example, Rudolf Carnap) drew a fairly sharp distinction between theory and observation, between theoretical terms like 'mass' and 'electron', and observation terms like 'measures three meters in length' and 'is _2 Celsius'. By simply looking at our instruments we can ascertain what numbers our measurements yield. Creatures like mass are different: we determine mass by calculation; we never directly observe a mass. Nor an electron: this term is introduced in order to explain what we observe. This (once standard) distinction between...

High Art: Charles Baudelaire and the Origins of Modernist Painting
ISBN: 9780271015279 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The great poet Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) was also an extremely influential art critic. High Art relates the philosophical issues posed by Baudelaire's art writing to the theory and practice of modernist and postmodernist painting. Baudelaire wrote in an age of transition, David Carrier argues, an era divided by the Revolution of 1848, the historical break that played for him a role now taken within modernism by the political revolts of 1968. Moving from the grand tradition of Delacroix to the images of modern life made by Constantin Guys, this movement from "high" to "low,"...

"One strength of Carrier's book is the way he charts these debates, showing how they were symptomatic of a wider struggle over national memory. Another great strength of this book is its thorough and informative knowledge of theoretical literature on memory and memorials, a knowledge which Carrier - to his enormous credit - does not simply parade before us but actually applies to the objects of his study...a superb book."- European History Quarterly
" Carrier] argues convincingly that what really matters about these memorials is not so much the finished product as the social and political... "One strength of Carrier's book is the way he charts these debates, showing how they were symptomatic of a wider struggle over national memory. Anothe...

Proust/Warhol: Analytical Philosophy of Art
ISBN: 9781433104336 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Two of the most important modernist artists, Marcel Proust and Andy Warhol, also developed aesthetic theories. Proust presents imaginary artists a composer, a painter, and a novelist. Warhol made paintings and sculptures; created art history writing, fiction, and films; and sponsored a rock group.
