The Philosophy of Inquiry and Global Problems
ISBN: 9783031494932 / Angielski / Miękka / 313 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Universities have long been dominated by a philosophy of inquiry that may be called knowledge-inquiry. This holds that, in order to do justice to the basic humanitarian aim of helping to promote human welfare, academic inquiry must, in the first instance, seek knowledge and technological know-how. First, knowledge is to be acquired; once acquired, it can be applied to help promote human welfare. But this philosophy of knowledge-inquiry is an intellectual and humanitarian disaster. It violates three of the four most elementary rules of rational problem solving conceivable, and as a...

In Praise of Natural Philosophy: A Revolution for Thought and Life
ISBN: 9780773549036 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Praise of Natural Philosophy argues for a transformation of both science and philosophy, so that these two distinct domains of thought become one: natural philosophy. This in turn has far-reaching consequences for the whole academic enterprise. It transpires that universities need to be reorganized so that they become devoted to seeking and promoting wisdom by rational means as opposed to just acquiring knowledge. Modern science began as natural philosophy. What today we call science and philosophy, in Newton's time formed one integrated enterprise: to improve our knowledge and...

Is Science Neurotic?
ISBN: 9781860945007 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Is Science Neurotic? sets out to show that science suffers from a damaging but rarely noticed methodological disease — “rationalistic neurosis.” Assumptions concerning metaphysics, human value and politics, implicit in the aims of science, are repressed, and the malaise has spread to affect the whole academic enterprise, with the potential for extraordinarily damaging long-term consequences.The book begins with a discussion of the aims and methods of natural science, and moves on to discuss social science, philosophy, education, psychoanalytic theory and academic inquiry...

The Comprehensibility of the Universe: A New Conception of Science
ISBN: 9780198237761 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book puts forth a radically new conception of science. Maxwell argues that the prevailing view of the relation between scientific theory and evidence is untenable; he calls for a new orthodoxy that sees science as making a hierarchy of assumptions about the comprehensibility of the universe. This new conception has significant implications for both philosophy and science, promises to heal the rift between the two, and will be essential reading for people working in both fields.

How Universities Can Help Create a Wiser World: The Urgent Need for an Academic Revolution
ISBN: 9781845405731 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In order to make progress towards a better world we need to learn how to do it. And for that we need institutions of learning rationally designed and devoted to helping us solve our global problems, make progress towards a better world. It is just this that we lack at present. Our universities pursue knowledge. They are neither designed nor devoted to helping humanity learn how to tackle global problems problems of living in more intelligent, humane and effective ways. That, this book argues, is the key disaster of our times, the crisis behind all the others: our failure to have developed our...

The Human World in the Physical Universe: Consciousness, Free Will, and Evolution
ISBN: 9780742512269 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How is it possible for the world as we experience it to exist embedded in the physical universe? How can there be sensory qualities, consciousness, freedom, science and art, friendship, love, justice--all that which gives meaning and value to life--if the world really is more or less as modern science tells us it is? This is the problem that is tackled by this book. The solution proposed is that physics describes only a selected aspect of all that exists--that aspect which determines the way events unfold. Sensory qualities, inner experiences, consciousness, meaning and value, all these exist...

From Knowledge to Wisdom: A Revolution for Science and the Humanities
ISBN: 9780955224003 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From Knowledge to Wisdom argues that there is an urgent need, for both intellectual and humanitarian reasons, to bring about a revolution in science and the humanities. The outcome would be a kind of academic inquiry rationally devoted to helping humanity learn how to create a better world. The basic intellectual aim of inquiry would be to seek and promote wisdom - wisdom being the capacity to realize what is of value in life for oneself and others, thus including knowledge and technological know-how, but much else besides. * "There are altogether too many symptoms of malaise in our...
