On the Edge of Certainty: Philosophical Explorations
ISBN: 9780333800225 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Raymond Tallis's The Explicit Animal (1991) was a passionate attack on attempts to explain human consciousness in purely biological terms. This ground-breaking book defended the distinctive nature of human consciousness against the misrepresentations of those many philosophers and cognitive scientists who aimed to reduce it to a set of functions understood in evolutionary, neurobiological and computational terms. In his laudatory review in The Times Literary Supplement, Stephen Clark expressed the hope that Tallis would continue his explorations. On the Edge of Certainty does precisely that,...

Hunger
ISBN: 9781138149922 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Understanding hunger is the key to understanding ourselves. While they seem the most obvious things about us, our hungers are also deeply mysterious, arising out of, and casting light on, the unique character of human consciousness. In humans, physiological need is transformed into a multitude of needs that are remote from organic necessity. Even first-level biological hunger is experienced differently in humans; and little in human feeding behaviour has any parallel in the animal kingdom.In this book, Ray Tallis takes us through the different levels of our hunger. Out of our primary...

ISBN: 9781138139664 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. These essays, written in the spirit of Goethe's Epimetheus who "traces the quick deed to the dim realm of form-combining possibilities," display the depth and breadth of Tallis's fascination with our lives. Whether discussing philosophical "hardy perennials" like time, or a mundane artefact like ink, Tallis challenges us to think differently about who we are and why we are. The first part of the book - Analysis - dives into the deep-end to explore some of the big questions in philosophy: perception, knowledge and belief; time; the relationship between mathematics and reality; and...These essays, written in the spirit of Goethe's Epimetheus who "traces the quick deed to the dim realm of form-combining possibilities," display th... |

Why the Mind is Not a Computer: A Pocket Lexicon of Neuromythology
ISBN: 9780907845942 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. The equation "Mind = Machine" is false. This pocket lexicon of "neuromythology" shows why. Taking a series of key words such as calculation, language, information and memory, Professor Tallis shows how their misuse has a lured a whole generation into accepting the computational model of the mind. First of all these words were used literally in the description of the human mind. Then computer scientists applied them metaphorically to the workings of their machines. And finally, their metaphorical status forgotten, the use of the terms was called as evidence of artificial intelligence in... The equation "Mind = Machine" is false.

Of Time and Lamentation: Reflections on Transience
ISBN: 9781911116219 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 736 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Time's mysteries seem to resist comprehension and what remains, once the familiar metaphors are stripped away, can stretch even the most profound philosopher. In Of Time and Lamentation, Raymond Tallis rises to this challenge and explores the nature and meaning of time and how best to understand it. The culmination of some twenty years of thinking, writing and wondering about (and within) time, it is a bold, original, and thought-provoking work. With characteristic fearlessness, Tallis seeks to reclaim time from the jaws of physics. For most of us, time is composed of mornings,...

In Defence of Wonder and Other Philosophical Reflections
ISBN: 9781138135079 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In these lively and provocative essays, philosopher, polymath and all-round intellectual heavyweight, Raymond Tallis debunks commonplace truths, exposes woolly thinking and pulls the rug from beneath a wide range of commentator whether scientist, theologian, philosopher or pundit. Tallis takes to task much of contemporary science and philosophy, arguing that they are guilty of taking us down ever narrowing conduits of problem solving that only invite ever more complex responses and in doing so have lost sight of "wonder" - the metaphysical intoxication that first gave birth to philosophy...

In Defence of Wonder and Other Philosophical Reflections
ISBN: 9781844655250 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "What comes across, on almost every page, are Tallis' enthusiasms for both philosophy and - even greater - for writing itself. And for once the back-cover puffery, where we are told of his 'verve, insight and wit, ' most definitely hits the mark." - Christopher Belshaw, Times Higher "This collection of essays supplies what has been wanting for some time: an introduction, for the non-specialist reader, that gives some indication of the breadth and depth of Tallis's work. Tallis is not just a polymath, but a most congenial thinker with whom to exercise one's intellect." - The Guardian "A...

The Knowing Animal: A Philosophical Inquiry Into Knowledge and Truth
ISBN: 9780748619535 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In The Hand, the first volume of his trilogy, Raymond Tallis looked at how humans have overcome the constraints of biology. The second volume, I Am, focused on two crucial aspects of the escape from being a mere organism: selfhood and agency. This, the final volume in the trilogy, argues that knowledge is unique to human beings and sufficiently important to call man 'the knowing animal'.Raymond Tallis examines the profound difference between knowledge 'That things are the case' and mere sentience. He criticises both accounts of knowledge that marginalise the consciousness of the knower and...

The Enduring Significance of Parmenides: Unthinkable Thought
ISBN: 9780826499523 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Parmenides of Elea is widely regarded as the most important of the Presocratic philosophers and one of the most influential thinkers of all time. He is famous, or notorious, for asserting that change, movement, generation and perishing are illusions arising from our senses, that past and future do not exist, and that the universe is a single, homogeneous, static sphere. This picture of the world is not only contrary to the experience of every conscious moment of our lives, it is also unthinkable, since thoughts themselves are events that come into being and pass away. Parmenides of Elea is widely regarded as the most important of the Presocratic philosophers and one of the most influential thinkers of all time. H... |

ISBN: 9781138135819 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. These essays from one of our most stimulating thinkers showcase Tallis's infectious fascination, indeed intoxication, with the infinite complexity of human lives and the human condition. In the title essay, we join Tallis on a stroll around his local park - and the intricate passages of his own consciousness - as he uses the motif of the walk, the amble, to occasion a series of meditations on the freedoms that only human beings possess. In subsequent essays, the flaneur thinks about his brain, his relationship to the rest of the animal kingdom, his profession of medicine and about the...
