Skeptical Philosophy for Everyone
ISBN: 9781573929363 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 325 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This lucid, informal, and very accessible history of Western thought takes the unique approach of interpreting skepticism--i.e., doubts about knowledge claims and the criteria for making such claims--as an important stimulus for the development of philosophy. The authors argue that practically every great thinker from the time of the Greeks to the present has produced theories designed to forestall or refute skepticism: from Plato to Moore and Wittgenstein. The influence of and responses to such 20th-century skeptics as Russell and Derrida are also discussed critically.

Latitudinarianism in the Seventeenth-Century Church of England
ISBN: 9789004096530 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Latitudinarians, a group of prominent clergymen in the late seventeenth-century Church of England, were articulate opponents of Anglicanism's intellectual foes. Against the challenges of Hobbism, Spinozism, Deism, scepticism, and Roman Catholicism, they presented a body of thought emphasizing reason in religion and practical morality over credal speculation. Their theology was designed to combat 'practical atheism' and their sermons stressed that the chief design of Christianity was 'to make men good.' They advocated an alliance of religion and science, and were early participants in the...

Essays on the Context, Nature, and Influence of Isaac Newton's Theology
ISBN: 9780792305835 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This collection of essays is the fruit of about fifteen years of discussion and research by James Force and me. As I look back on it, our interest and concern with Newton's theological ideas began in 1975 at Washington University in St. Louis. James Force was a graduate student in philosophy and I was a professor there. For a few years before, I had been doing research and writing on Millenarianism and Messianism in the 17th and 18th centuries, touching occasionally on Newton. I had bought a copy of Newton's Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John for a few...

The Shapes of Knowledge from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment
ISBN: 9789401054270 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 237 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The original idea for a conference on the "shapes of knowledge" dates back over ten years to conversations with the late Charles Schmitt of the Warburg Institute. What happened to the classifications of the sciences between the time of the medieval Studium and that of the French Encyclopedie is a complex and highly abstract question; but posing it is an effective way of mapping and evaluating long term intellectual changes, especially those arising from the impact of humanist scholarship, the new science of the seventeenth century, and attempts to evaluate, to apply, to reconcile, and to...

The Problem of Certainty in English Thought 1630-1690
ISBN: 9789024701797 / Angielski / Twarda / 1970 / 159 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The revival of ancient Greek scepticism in the 16th and 17th centuries was of the greatest importance in changing the intellectual climate in which modern science developed, and in developing the attitude that we now call "The scientific outlook." Many streams of thought came together contributing to various facets of this crucial development. One of the most fascinating of these is that of "constructive scepticism," the history of one of whose forms is traced in this study by Prof. Van Leeuwen. The sceptical crisis that arose during the Renaissance and Refor mation challenged the fundamental...
