Cuisine and Empire: Cooking in World Historyvolume 43
ISBN: 9780520266452 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Rachel Laudan tells the remarkable story of the rise and fall of the world's great cuisines--from the mastery of grain cooking some twenty thousand years ago, to the present--in this superbly researched book. Probing beneath the apparent confusion of dozens of cuisines to reveal the underlying simplicity of the culinary family tree, she shows how periodic seismic shifts in "culinary philosophy"--beliefs about health, the economy, politics, society and the gods--prompted the construction of new cuisines, a handful of which, chosen as the cuisines of empires, came to dominate the globe.

Science and Hypothesis: Historical Essays on Scientific Methodology
ISBN: 9789401572903 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book consists of a collection of essays written between 1965 and 1981. Some have been published elsewhere; others appear here for the first time. Although dealing with different figures and different periods, they have a common theme: all are concerned with examining how the method of hy- pothesis came to be the ruling orthodoxy in the philosophy of science and the quasi-official methodology of the scientific community. It might have been otherwise. Barely three centuries ago, hypothetico- deduction was in both disfavor and disarray. Numerous rival methods for scientific inquiry -...

The Nature of Technological Knowledge. Are Models of Scientific Change Relevant?
ISBN: 9789048183944 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 147 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. One of the ironies of our time is the sparsity of useful analytic tools for understanding change and development within technology itself. For all the diatribes about the disastrous effects of technology on modern life, for all the equally uncritical paeans to technology as the panacea for human ills, the vociferous pro- and anti-technology movements have failed to illuminate the nature of technology. On a more scholarly level, in the midst of claims by Marxists and non-Marxists alike about the technological underpinnings of the major social and economic changes of the last couple of...

Science and Relativism: Some Key Controversies in the Philosophy of Science
ISBN: 9780226469492 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In recent years, many members of the intellectual community have embraced a radical relativism regarding knowledge in general and scientific knowledge in particular, holding that Kuhn, Quine, and Feyerabend have knocked the traditional picture of scientific knowledge into a cocked hat. Is philosophy of science, or mistaken impressions of it, responsible for the rise of relativism? In this book, Laudan offers a trenchant, wide-ranging critique of cognitive relativism and a thorough introduction to major issues in the philosophy of knowledge.

Science and Values: The Aims of Science and Their Role in Scientific Debate
ISBN: 9780520057432 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Laudan constructs a fresh approach to a longtime problem for the philosopher of science: how to explain the simultaneous and widespread presence of both agreement and disagreement in science. Laudan critiques the logical empiricists and the post-positivists as he stresses the need for centrality and values and the interdependence of values, methods, and facts as prerequisites to solving the problems of consensus and dissent in science.

The Ethnomusicology of Western Art Music
ISBN: 9780415816526 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Since the late 1980s, the boundaries between the musicologies have become increasingly blurred. Most notably, a growing number of musicologists have become interested in the ideas and methodologies of ethnomusicology, and in particular, in applying one of the central methodological tools of ethnomusicology ethnography to the study of Western art music, a tradition which had previously been studied primarily through scores, recordings and other historical sources. Alongside this, since the 1970s a small number of ethnomusicologists have also written about Western art music, thus...

Truth, Error, and Criminal Law: An Essay in Legal Epistemology
ISBN: 9780521730358 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book treats problems in the epistemology of the law. Beginning with the premise that the principal function of a criminal trial is to find out the truth about a crime, Larry Laudan examines the rules of evidence and procedure that would be appropriate if the discovery of the truth were, as higher courts routinely claim, the overriding aim of the criminal justice system. Laudan mounts a systematic critique of existing rules and procedures that are obstacles to that quest. He also examines issues of error distribution by offering the first integrated analysis of the various mechanisms the...

Progress and Its Problems: Towards a Theory of Scientific Growth
ISBN: 9780520037212 / Angielski / Miękka / 1978 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "A book that shakes philosophy of science to its roots. Laudan both destroys and creates. With detailed, scathing criticisms, he attacks the 'pregnant confusions' in extant philosophies of science. The progress they espouse derives from strictly empirical criteria, he complains, and this clashes with historical evidence. Accordingly, Laudan constructs a remedy from historical examples that involves nothing less than the redefinition of scientific rationality and progress . . . Surprisingly, after this reshuffling, science still looks like a noble-and progressive-enterprise ... The glory of...

ISBN: 9780754634577 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What is it about the history, geographical position and cultures of the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia that has made music such a potent and powerful agent? This volume presents the first direct look at the complex relationship between music and power across a range of musical genres and countries. Discourses of power in the region centre on some of the most contested social issues, most notably in relation to nationhood, gender and religion. Individual chapters examine the ways in which music serves as a forum for playing out issues of power, ideology, resistance and subversion....
