The best portrait of Jay Landesman as a cultural conduit was written by Beat historian John Clellon Holmes, 'Most of the time, Landesman was that unique phenomenon in a status-drunk society: a man who knew that the only really hip style is the next one, the one that hasn't been established yet. In the late forties he shifted his attention to the popular arts without sacrificing his sense of the culture as a whole.' Landesman's significant contribution might be his originally conceived lifestyle which, set against the conformity of the Eisenhower years, places him at the heart of that group of...

The Eye and the Mind: Reflections on Perception and the Problem of Knowledge
ISBN: 9780792325864 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book is a discussion of some of the major philosophical problems centering around the topic of sense perception and the foundations of human knowledge. It begins with a characterization of our common sense understanding of the role of the senses in the acquisition of belief, and it argues that scientific accounts of the processes of perception undermine salient parts of this understanding. The naive point of view of direct realism cannot be sustained in the light of a scientifically instructed understanding of perception. This critique of direct realism points to the correctness of the...

Leibniz's Mill: A Challenge to Materialism
ISBN: 9780268034115 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.)

Charles Landesman's basic claim, argued with clarity and philosophical precision, is that dualism is to be preferred to materialism; namely, the self is not reducible to the body, mental processes are not reducible to brain processes, and the idea...
