ISBN: 9780195309799 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The philosophy of cognitive science is concerned with fundamental philosophical and theoretical questions connected to the sciences of the mind. How does the brain give rise to conscious experience?

The Unraveling of Scientism: American Philosophy at the End of the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780801441523 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Unraveling of Scientism, a companion to Joseph Margolis's Reinventing Pragmatism, follows the thread of American analytic philosophy through the second half of the twentieth century, the period of its greatest influence and activity.

Surprisingly, this was a time of declining conceptual invention and originality among the leading strands of philosophy pragmatism, logical positivism and the unity of science program, and the principal continental...

ISBN: 9780747553359 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Unless something really remarkable happens like Armageddon or a dot.com company declaring profits as we enter the year 2001, things will stay pretty much as they are: images of Princess Diana will still appear in magazines everywhere, the railways will still use rolling stock built in the sixties, and old men driving cars will still inexplicably wear hats and gloves. But behind the facade of normality the future is taking shape. With Sam Goldwyn's famous saying 'Never predict anything - especially the future' firmly in mind, Jonathan Margolis inoculates himself against the pitfalls of...

Persons and Minds: The Prospects of Nonreductive Materialism
ISBN: 9789027708632 / Angielski / Miękka / 1977 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Persons and Minds is an inquiry into the possibilities of materialism. Professor Margolis starts his investigation, however, with a critique of the range of contemporary materialist theories, and does not find them viable.

In an extraordinarily rich analysis, Margolis carefully considers and criticizes mind-body identity theories, physicalism, eliminative materialism, behaviorism, as...

innovative interpretation of Thomas S. Kuhn's landmark idea of "paradigm shifts," applying insights from cognitive psychology to the history and philosophy of science. Building upon the arguments in his acclaimed "Patterns, " "Thinking, and Cognition," Margolis suggests that the breaking down of particular habits of mind of critical "barriers" is key to understanding the processes through which one model or concept is supplanted by another.

In The Politics of Culture in Quattrocento Europe: Rene of Anjou in Italy, Oren Margolis explores how this French prince and exiled king of Naples (1409-1480) engaged his Italian network in a programme of cultural politics conducted with an eye towards a return to power in the peninsula. Built on a series of original interpretations of humanistic and artistic material (chiefly Latin orations and illuminated manuscripts of classical texts), this is also a case study for a 'diplomatic approach' to culture. It recasts...
