Knowledge and the Known: Historical Perspectives in Epistemology
ISBN: 9789401022194 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 255 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) A word of warning concerning the aims of this volume is in order. Other wise some readers might be unpleasantly surprised by the fact that two of the chapters of an ostensibly historical book are largely topical rather than historical. They are Chapters 7 and 9, respectively entitled 'Are Logical Truths Analytic?' and 'A Priori Truths and Things-In-Them selves'. Moreover, the history dealt with in Chapter 11 is so recent as to have more critical than antiquarian interest. This mixture of materials may seem all the more surprising as I shall myself criticize (in Chapter I) too facile...

Ludwig Wittgenstein: Half-Truths and One-And-A-Half-Truths
ISBN: 9780792340911 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) IF WITI'GENSTEIN COULD TALK, COULD WE UNDERSTAND HIM? Perusing the secondary literature on Wittgenstein, I have frequently experienced a perfect Brechtean Entfremdungseffekt. This is interesting, I have felt like saying when reading books and papers on Wittgenstein, but who is the writer talking about? Certainly not Ludwig Wittgenstein the actual person who wrote his books and notebooks and whom I happened to meet. Why is there this strange gap between the ideas of the actual philosopher and the musings of his interpreters? Wittgenstein is talking to us through the posthumous publication of...

Models for Modalities: Selected Essays
ISBN: 9789027705983 / Angielski / Miękka / 1975 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The papers collected in this volume were written over a period of some eight or nine years, with some still earlier material incorporated in one of them. Publishing them under the same cover does not make a con tinuous book of them. The papers are thematically connected with each other, however, in a way which has led me to think that they can naturally be grouped together. In any list of philosophically important concepts, those falling within the range of application of modal logic will rank high in interest. They include necessity, possibility, obligation, permission, knowledge, belief,...

Lingua Universalis vs. Calculus Ratiocinator:: An Ultimate Presupposition of Twentieth-Century Philosophy
ISBN: 9780792342465 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) R. G. Collingwood saw one of the main tasks of philosophers and of historians of human thought in uncovering what he called the ultimate presuppositions of different thinkers, of different philosophical movements and of entire eras of intellectual history. He also noted that such ultimate presuppositions usually remain tacit at first, and are discovered only by subsequent reflection. Collingwood would have been delighted by the contrast that constitutes the overall theme of the essays collected in this volume. Not only has this dichotomy ofviews been one ofthe mostcrucial watersheds in the...

The Logic of Epistemology and the Epistemology of Logic: Selected Essays
ISBN: 9780792300403 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) somewhat like Henkin's nonstandard interpretation of higher-order logics, while the right semantics or logical modalities is an analogue to the standard of type theory in Henkin's sense. interpretation Another possibility would be to follow W.V. Quine's advice to give up logi cal modalities as being beyond repair. Or we could also try to develop a logic of conceptual possibility, restricting the range of our "possible worlds" to those compatible with the transcendental presuppositions of our own conceptual sys tem. This looks in fact like one of the most interesting possible theories I have...

From Dedekind to Gödel: Essays on the Development of the Foundations of Mathematics

Discussions of the foundations of mathematics and their history are frequently restricted to logical issues in a narrow sense, or else to traditional problems of analytic philosophy. From Dedekind to Godel: Essays on the Development of the Foundations of Mathematics illustrates the much greater variety of the actual developments in the foundations during the period covered.

Paradigms for Language Theory and Other Essays
ISBN: 9789048149308 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Several of the basic ideas of current language theory are subjected to critical scrutiny and found wanting, including the concept of scope, the hegemony of generative syntax, the Frege-Russell claim that verbs like is' are ambiguous, and the assumptions underlying the so-called New Theory of Reference. In their stead, new constructive ideas are proposed.

Analyses of Aristotle
ISBN: 9789048165780 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Aristotle thought of his logic and methodology as applications of the Socratic questioning method. In particular, logic was originally a study of answers necessitated by earlier answers. For Aristotle, thought-experiments were real experiments in the sense that by realizing forms in one's mind, one can read off their properties and interrelations. Treating forms as independent entities, knowable one by one, committed Aristotle to his mode of syllogistic explanation. He did not think of existence, predication and identity as separate senses of estin. Aristotle thus serves as an...

As official sponsors of the First International Conference in the History and Philosophy of Science, the two Divisions of the International Union of the History and Philosophy of Science owe a great deal to the University of Jyvliskyla and the 1973 Jyvliskylli Summer Festival for the extra- ordinarily generous hospitality they provided. But there is an additional debt owed, not simply for the locale but for the very substance of the Conference, to the two Finnish scholars who have jointly authored the present volume. For this volume represents not only the first part of the published...

Anaphora and Definite Descriptions: Two Applications of Game-Theoretical Semantics
ISBN: 9789027720566 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) I n order to appreciate properly what we are doing in this book it is necessary to realize that our approach to linguistic theorizing differs from the prevailing views. Our approach can be described by indicating what distinguishes it from the methodological ideas current in theoretical linguistics, which I consider seriously misguided. Linguists typically construe their task in these days as that of making exceptionless generalizations from particular examples. This explanatory strategy is wrong in several different ways. It presupposes that we can have "intuitions" about particular...

Socratic Epistemology: Explorations of Knowledge-Seeking by Questioning
ISBN: 9780521851015 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Most current work in epistemology deals with the evaluation and justification of information already acquired. In this book, Jaakko Hintikka instead discusses the more important problem of how knowledge is acquired in the first place. His model of information-seeking is the old Socratic method of questioning, which has been generalized and brought up-to-date through the logical theory of questions and answers that he has developed.

The Game of Language: Studies in Game-Theoretical Semantics and Its Applications
ISBN: 9789027719508 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Since the first chapter of this book presents an intro duction to the present state of game-theoretical semantics (GTS), there is no point in giving a briefer survey here. Instead, it may be helpful to indicate what this volume attempts to do. The first chapter gives a short intro duction to GTS and a survey of what is has accomplished. Chapter 2 puts the enterprise of GTS into new philo sophical perspective by relating its basic ideas to Kant's phi losophy of mathematics, space, and time. Chapters 3-6 are samples of GTS's accomplishments in understanding different kinds of semantical...

Metaphor is one of the most frequently evoked but at the same time most poorly understood concepts in philosophy and literary theory. In recent years, several interesting approaches to metaphor have been presented or outlined. In this volume, authors of some of the most important new approaches re-present their views or illustrate them by means of applications, thus allowing the reader to survey some of the prominent ongoing developments in this field. These authors include Robert Fogelin, Susan Haack, Jaakko Hintikka (with Gabriel Sandu), Bipin Indurkhya and Eva Kittay (with Eric Steinhart)....
