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.

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.

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.

A World of States of Affairs
ISBN: 9780521580649 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this important study D. M. Armstrong offers a comprehensive system of analytical metaphysics that synthesizes but also develops his thinking over the past twenty years. Armstrong's analysis, which acknowledges the "logical atomism" of Russell and Wittgenstein, makes facts (or states of affairs, as the author calls them) the fundamental constituents of the world, examining properties, relations, numbers, classes, possibility and necessity, dispositions, causes and laws. It will appeal to a wide readership in analytical philosophy.

Truth and Truthmakers
ISBN: 9780521547239 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. With many adherents among contemporary philosophers, truthmaking theory is the most recent development of a realist theory of truth. D.M. Armstrong offers the first full-length study of this theory and makes a compelling case for truthmaking's importance in philosophy. His book marks a significant contribution to the debate and will be of interest to a wide range of readers working in analytical philosophy.

Practical Reasoning about Final Ends
ISBN: 9780521574426 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. How should we reason about what we do? The answer offered by most recent philosophy, as well as such disciplines as decision theory, welfare economics, and political science, is that we should select efficient means to our ends. However, if we ask how we should decide which ends or goals to aim at, these standard theoretical approaches are silent. Henry Richardson argues that we can determine our ends rationally. He constructs a rich and original theory of how we can reason about what to seek for its own sake as a final goal. Richardson defuses the counterarguments for the limits of rational...

Fiction and Metaphysics
ISBN: 9780521640800 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This challenging study places fiction squarely at the center of the discussion of metaphysics. Philosophers have traditionally treated fiction as involving a set of narrow problems in logic or the philosophy of language. By contrast Amie Thomasson argues that fiction has far-reaching implications for central problems of metaphysics. The book develops an "artifactual" theory of fiction, whereby fictional characters are abstract artifacts as ordinary as laws or symphonies or works of literature. In taking seriously the work of literary scholars and in citing a wide range of literary examples,...

Moral Realism and the Foundations of Ethics
ISBN: 9780521359375 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is a systematic and constructive treatment of a number of traditional issues at the foundations of ethics. These issues concern the objectivity of ethics, the possibility and nature of moral knowledge, the relationship between the moral point of view and a scientific or naturalist world-view, the nature of moral value and obligation, and the role of morality in a person's rational lifeplan. In striking contrast to traditional and more recent work in the field, David Brink offers an integrated defense of the objectivity of ethics.
