Getting Causes from Powers
ISBN: 9780198709626 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Causation is everywhere in the world: it features in every science and technology. But how much do we truly understand it? Do we know what it means to say that one thing is a cause of another and do we understand what in the world drives causation? Getting Causes from Powers develops a new and original theory of causation based on an ontology of real powers or dispositions. Others have already suggested that this ought to be possible, but no one has yet performed the detailed work. Stephen Mumford and Rani Lill Anjum argue here that the completed theory will not look exactly as anyone has yet...

Watching Sport: Aesthetics, Ethics and Emotion
ISBN: 9780415857994 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Do we watch sport for pure dumb entertainment? While some people might do so, Stephen Mumford argues that it can be watched in other ways. Sport can be both a subject of high aesthetic values and a valid source for our moral education. The philosophy of sport has tended to focus on participation, but this book instead examines the philosophical issues around watching sport. Far from being a passive experience, we can all shape the way that we see sport. Delving into parallels with art and theatre, this book outlines the aesthetic qualities of sport from the incidental beauty of a... Do we watch sport for pure dumb entertainment?

Laws in Nature
ISBN: 9780415311281 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mumford outlines a major new theory of natural laws. His book begins with the question of whether there are any genuinely law-like phenomena in nature. The discussion addresses questions currently being debated by metaphysicians such as whether the laws of nature are necessary or contingent and whether a property can be identified independently of its causal role.

Dispositions
ISBN: 9780199259823 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Mumford puts forward a new theory of dispositions, showing how central their role in metaphysics and philosophy of science is. Much of our understanding of the physical and psychological world is expressed in terms of dispositional properties--from the spin of a sub-atomic particle to the solubility of sugar. Mumford discusses what it means to say that something has a property of this kind and how dispositions can possibly be real things in the world.

David Armstrong
ISBN: 9780773533318 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. David (D.M.) Armstrong is one of Australia's greatest philosophers. His chief philosophical achievement has been the development of a core metaphysical program that covers the topics of universals, laws, modality, and facts - a naturalistic metaphysics, consistent with a scientific view of the natural world. Stephen Mumford offers an introduction to the full range of Armstrong's thought. Beginning with a discussion of Armstrong's naturalism - his most general commitment - and his realism about universals, Mumford then examines Armstrong's theories of laws, modality, and dispositions, which...

Metaphysics and Science
ISBN: 9780199674527 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Metaphysics and Science brings together important new work within an emerging philosophical discipline: the metaphysics of science. In the opening chapter, a definition of the metaphysics of science is offered, one which explains why the topics of laws, causation, natural kinds, and emergence are at the discipline's heart. The book is then divided into four sections, which group together papers from leading academics on each of those four topics. Among the questions discussed are: How are laws and measurement methods related? Can a satisfactory reductive account of laws be given? How can...
