Reason and Religion
ISBN: 9783110320510 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 117 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is avowedly written in what has been rather patronizingly called "the affable spirit of compromise or conciliation" between science and religion. Its key thesis is that these two enterprises can--and should be--seen as complementary in addressing different albeit interrelated questions: on the one side the nature of the natural world and our place in it, and on the other how we should proceed and act so as to capitalize on the opportunities that our place in the world affords to us for shaping our lives in a meaningful and satisfying way. How the world works is the crux of the... This book is avowedly written in what has been rather patronizingly called "the affable spirit of compromise or conciliation" between science and r... |

Philosophical Textuality: Studies on Issues of Discourse in Philosophy
ISBN: 9783110319231 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Philosophizing is an activity--a process carries on by mind-endeavored creatures. But philosophy itself--the product of philosophy--is an abstraction which, as such, exists in its own way. Like chemistry or poetry, the things it deals with may be ever so real, but it itself exists in the realm of textuality. However the nature of philosophy's textual domain is seldom studied as such. The present discussion will take one very small step towards filling this gap. Philosophizing is an activity--a process carries on by mind-endeavored creatures. But philosophy itself--the product of philosophy--is an abstracti... |

Epistemic Pragmatism and Other Studies in the Theory of Knowledge
ISBN: 9783110318920 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The core of pragmatism lies in the concept of functional efficacy-of utility in short. And epistemic pragmatism accordingly focuses on the utility of our devices and practices in relation to the aims and purposes of the cognitive enterprise-answering questions, resolving puzzlement, guiding action. The present book revolves around this theme. All papers in this book bear on epistemological topics which have preoccupied Nicholas Rescher for many years. Much as with the thematic structure of this book, this interest expanded from an initial concern with the exact sciences, to encompass the...

The Realm of Facts: Aspects of Philosophical Realism
ISBN: 9783110777758 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Knowledge of facts is essential for the management of life. Most studies of the subject examine how we go about trying to obtain it; they describe the processes and proceedings of rational inquiry. The present work steps back from this to inquire into the limits and limitations of such processes and to identify the assets and the limitabilities of what they are able to supply for us. It examines how knowledge of facts is secured and consolidated as such, and what the resulting information can and cannot provide. It argues that the unavoidable incompleteness of our factual information also...

Studies in Quantitative Philosophizing
ISBN: 9783110319200 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 2010 / 167 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The present book brings together several case studies, dealing with relevant facets of the work of some of philosophy's all-time greats. The subject-matter topic being addressed differs significantly, but in each case there is an attempt to apply mathematical methods and perspectives to the solution of a key philosophical issue in a way that throws instructive light upon it. On this basis it emerges that the question "Are mathematical methods useful in philosophy?" finds a suggestive response in the fact that over two millennia key figures in the history of the subject have indeed thought...

On the Nature of Philosophy and Other Philosophical Essays
ISBN: 9783110319996 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 129 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book continues Rescher's longstanding practice of publishing groups of philosophical essays. Notwithstanding their thematic diversity, these discussions exhibit a uniformity of method in addressing philosophical issues via a mixture of historical contextualization, analytical scrutiny, and common-sensical concern. Their interest, such as it is, lies not just in what they do but in how they do it. This book continues Rescher's longstanding practice of publishing groups of philosophical essays.

Autobiography
ISBN: 9783110330229 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This revised edition of his Autobiography brings up-to-date Rescher's account of his life and work. The passage of years since the publication of an autobiographical work makes for its growing incompleteness. Moreover, the passage of time is bound to bring some new perspectives to view. This new edition comes to terms with these circumstances. Since the publication of the previous version Rescher's philosophical work has made substantial progress, betokened by the publication of over a score of new books that mark an ongoing expansion of his philosophical range. Then too, the internet has... This revised edition of his Autobiography brings up-to-date Rescher's account of his life and work. The passage of years since the publication of a... |

Studies in Cognitive Finitude
ISBN: 9783110325386 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 133 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For over thirty years Professor Rescher has been preoccupied with exploring the scope and limits of human knowledge from an array of different points of view. This book collects together these various threads into a unified treatment of this overall terrain. It argues in detail that while scepticism is about the prospect of factual knowledge about the world is emphatically unwarranted, nevertheless the project of amplifying this knowledge does encounter some specifiable and insuperable limits. For over thirty years Professor Rescher has been preoccupied with exploring the scope and limits of human knowledge from an array of different poin... |

Reflexivity: From Paradox to Consciousness
ISBN: 9783110319989 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The book seeks to characterize reflexive conceptual structures more thoroughly and more precisely than has been done before, making explicit the structure of paradox and the clear connections to major logical results. The goal is to trace the structure of reflexivity in sentences, sets, and systems, but also as it appears in propositional attitudes, mental states, perspectives and processes. What an understanding of patterns of reflexivity offers is a deeper and de-mystified understanding of issues of semantics, free will, and the nature of consciousness. The book seeks to characterize reflexive conceptual structures more thoroughly and more precisely than has been done before, making explicit the st... |

Studies in Metaphilosophy
ISBN: 9783110325423 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. While philosophers from Plato to Kant and beyond have discussed the mission and methodology of philosophy, this area of deliberation has only recently been acknowledged as a distinctive branch of philosophy as such, duly entitled metaphilosophy. There are, as yet, very few books on the subject so that the present volume joins a rather select group. Professor Rescher has published in the field for some thirty years and this book gathers together a representative sampling of his contributions. Taken together these pieces convey an instructive overview of the field, as well as vividly...

Logical Inquiries: Basic Issues in Philosophical Logic
ISBN: 9783110344837 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Logic is of course a general resource for reasoning at large. But in the first half of the twentieth century, it developed particularity with a view to mathematical applications, and the field of mathematical logic came into being and flourished. In the second half of the century, much the same happened with regard to philosophical applications. Hence philosophical logic. The deliberations of this book cover a varied but interrelated array of key issues in the field. They address the representation of information in linguistic formulation, and modes of cogent...
