Practical Reality
ISBN: 9780198241157 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Practical Reality is a lucid original study of the relation between the reasons why we do things and the reasons why we should. Jonathan Dancy maintains that current philosophical orthodoxy bowdlerizes this relation, making it impossible to understand how anyone can act for a good reason. By giving a fresh account of values and reasons, he finds a place for normativity in philosophy of mind and action, and strengthens the connection between these areas and ethics.

Ethics Without Principles
ISBN: 9780199297689 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Jonathan Dancy presents a long-awaited exposition and defense of particularism in ethics, a theory which he, perhaps more than anyone else, has developed and championed in recent years. Dancy's controversial claim, powerfully argued, is that the traditional link between morality and principles, or between being moral and having principles, is little more than a mistake. Ethics without Principles is the definitive presentation of particularist ethical theory, and will be required reading for all moral philosophers.

Ethics Without Principles
ISBN: 9780199270026 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What is a moral principle, and what do moral principles tell us? What if all suggested principles were defeated by counter-examples? Would moral judgement still be possible? In this book Jonathan Dancy argues that the traditional link between morality and principles, or between being moral and having principles, is little more than a mistake. This claim, known as 'particularism', has recently been attracting a great deal of attention, and Dancy is one of its leading proponents.Ethics Without Principles is the definitive presentation of his position, and will be required reading for all moral...

ISBN: 9780198805441 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Jonathan Dancy aims to establish the possibility of reasoning to action, by showing how similar it is to reasoning to belief. He offers a general theory of reasoning, which smoothly admits the differences there may be between the two types, while also considering the possibility of reasoning to hope, to fear, to doubt, and to intention.

Moral Reasons
ISBN: 9780631187929 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book attempts to place a realist view of ethics (the claim that there are facts of the matter in ethics as elsewhere) within a broader context. It starts with a discussion of why we should mind about the difference between right and wrong, asks what account we should give of our ability to learn from our moral experience, and looks in some detail at the different sorts of ways in which moral reasons can combine to show us what we should do in the circumstances. The second half of the book uses these results to mount an attack on consequentialism in ethics, arguing that there are more...

Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous
ISBN: 9780198751496 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. First published in 1713, this work was designed as a vivid and persuasive presentation of the remarkable picture of reality that Berkeley had first presented two years earlier in his Principles. His central claim there, as here, was that the world is not material but mental. Berkeley uses this thesis as the ground for a new argument for the existence of God, and the dialogue form enables him to raise and respond to many of the natural objections to his position. This volume uses the 1734 edition of the text, supplemented by an analysis of the Dialogues and a glossary.

A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge
ISBN: 9780198751618 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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.

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...

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.

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...

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.
