From a Deflationary Point of View
ISBN: 9780199251278 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Deflationism" has emerged as one of the most significant developments in contemporary philosophy. It is best known as a story about truth -- roughly, that the traditional search for its underlying nature is misconceived, since there can be no such thing. However, the scope of deflationism extends well beyond that particular topic. For, in the first place, such a view of truth substantially affects what we should say about neighboring concepts such as "reality," "meaning," and "rationality." And in the second place, the anti-theoretical meta-philosophy that lies behind that view -- the idea...

Truth
ISBN: 9780198752233 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What is truth. Paul Horwich advocates the controversial theory of minimalism, that is that the nature of truth is entirely captured in the trivial fact that each proposition specifies its own condition for being true, and that truth is therefore an entirely mundane and unpuzzling concept. The first edition of Truth, published in 1980, established itself as the best account of minimalism and as an excellent introduction to the debate for students. For this new edition, Horwich has refined and developed his treatment of the subject in the light of subsequent discussions, while preserving the...

Truth -- Meaning -- Reality
ISBN: 9780199268900 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Truth -- Meaning -- Reality presents a fresh approach to philosophy: a broad and unified deflationism that encompasses language, thought, knowledge, reality, and the relations between them.
Horwich's story begins with a minimalist view of truth according to which this extraordinary concept is far less profound and substantial than has usually been assumed, since it stems entirely from our regarding "It is true that dogs bark" as equivalent to "Dogs bark," and similarly in the case of all other statements. There's nothing more to truth than that This view turns out to be of...

Meaning
ISBN: 9780198238249 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this new book, the author of the classic Truth presents an original theory of meaning, demonstrates its richness, and defends it against all contenders. He surveys the diversity of twentieth-century philosophical insights into meaning and shows that his theory can reconcile these with a common-sense view of meaning as derived from use. Meaning and its companion volume Truth (now published in a revised edition) together demystify two central issues in philosophy and offer a controversial but compelling view of the relations between language, thought, and reality.

Probability and Evidence
ISBN: 9780521283366 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this volume, which was originally published in 1982, Paul Horwich presents a clear and unified approach to a number of problems in the philosophy of science. He diagnoses the failure of other attempts to resolve them as stemming from a too-rigid, all-or-nothing conception of belief, and adopts instead a Bayesian strategy, emphasising the degree of confidence to which we are entitled the light of scientific evidence. This probabilistic approach, he argues, yields a more complete understanding of the assumptions and procedures characteristic of scientific reasoning. It also accounts for the...

Reflections on Meaning
ISBN: 9780199251254 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Paul Horwich's main aim in Reflections on Meaning is to explain how mere noises, marks, gestures, and mental symbols are able to capture the world--that is, how words and sentences (in whatever medium) come to mean what they do, to stand for certain things, to be true or false of reality. His answer is a groundbreaking development of Wittgenstein's idea that the meaning of a term is nothing more than its use. While the chapters here have appeared as individual essays, Horwich has edited them to make a continuous argument, focused on articulating and developing an important new conception of...

Wittgenstein's Metaphilosophy
ISBN: 9780199588879 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Paul Horwich develops an interpretation of Ludwig Wittgenstein's later writings that differs in substantial respects from what can already be found in the literature. He argues that it is Wittgenstein's radically anti-theoretical metaphilosophy--and not (as assumed by most other commentators) his identification of the meaning of a word with its use--that lies at the foundation of his discussions of specific issues concerning language, the mind, mathematics, knowledge, art, and religion. Thus Horwich's first aim is to give a clear account of Wittgenstein's hyper-deflationist view of what...

World Changes: Thomas Kuhn and the Nature of Science
ISBN: 9780822960546 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Thomas Kuhn is viewed as one of the most influential (and controversial) philosophers of science, and this re-release of a classic examination of one of his seminal works reflects his continuing importance. In World Changes, the contributors examine the work of Kuhn from a broad philosophical perspective, comparing earlier logical empiricism and logical positivism with the new philosophy of science inspired by Kuhn in the early 1960s. The nine chapters offer interpretations of his major work The Structure of Scientific Revolutions and subsequent writings. The introduction...

Asymmetries In Time: Problems in the Philosophy of Science
ISBN: 9780262580885 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Time is generally thought to be one of the more mysterious ingredients of the universe. In this intriguing book, Paul Horwich makes precise and explicit the interrelationships between time and a large number of philosophically important notions.Ideas of temporal order and priority interact in subtle and convoluted ways with the deepest elements in our network of basic concepts. Confronting this conceptual jigsaw puzzle, Horwich notes that there are glaring differences in how we regard the past and future directions of time. For example, we can influence the future but not the past, and can... Time is generally thought to be one of the more mysterious ingredients of the universe.
