Resurrecting Old-Fashioned Foundationalism
ISBN: 9780847692897 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The contributions in this volume make an important effort to resurrect a rather old fashioned form of foundationalism. They defend the position that there are some beliefs that are justified, and are not themselves justified by any further beliefs. This Epistemic foundationalism has been the subject of rigorous attack by a wide range of theorists in recent years, leading to the impression that foundationalism is a thing of the past. DePaul argues that it is precisely the volume and virulence of the assaults which points directly to the strength and coherence of the position.

Intellectual Virtue: Perspectives from Ethics and Epistemology
ISBN: 9780199219124 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Virtue ethics has attracted a lot of attention over the past few decades, and more recently there has been considerable interest in virtue epistemology as an alternative to traditional approaches in that field. Ironically, although virtue epistemology got its inspiration from virtue ethics, this is the first book that brings virtue epistemologists and virtue ethicists together to contribute their particular expertise, and the first that is devoted to the topic of intellectual virtue.
All new and right up to date, the papers collected here by Zagzebski and DePaul demonstrate the benefit of... Virtue ethics has attracted a lot of attention over the past few decades, and more recently there has been considerable interest in virtue epistemolog...

DePaul argues that we have to make our beliefs cohere, but that the current coherence methods are seriously flawed. It is not just the arguments that need to be considered in moral enquiry. DePaul asserts that the ability to make sensitive moral judgements is vital to any philosophical inquiry into morality. The inquirer must consider how her life experiences and experiences with literature, film and theatre have influenced her capacity for making moral judgments and attempt to ensure that this capacity is neither...

Apocalyptic Ruin and Everyday Wonder in Don DeLillo’s America
ISBN: 9781501390692 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Apocalyptic Ruin and Everyday Wonder in Don DeLillo’s America is a fresh and engaging study of “last things” in Don DeLillo’s works—things like death, mourning, and the decline of the American empire, but then also the apocalypse, the last judgment, and the end of the world more generally. Michael Naas untangles complex themes in short, witty chapters that highlight and celebrate DeLillo’s inventive and playful writing, employing a novel approach to literary criticism. Making no use of secondary sources, the book is entirely a discussion of DeLillo's work, accessible to any level...

ISBN: 9780521790321 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Is economic development conducive to political democracy? Does democracy foster or hinder material welfare? These two questions are examined by looking at the experiences of 135 countries between 1950 and 1990. Descriptive information, statistical analyses, and historical narratives are interwoven to gain an understanding of the dynamic of political regimes and their impact on economic development. The often surprising findings dispel any notion of a tradeoff between democracy and development. Economic development does not generate democracies, but democracies are much more likely to survive...
