Reflections on (T)error
ISBN: 9783836437813 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Terrorism is usually regarded as the enemy of globalization and capitalism. However this analysis completely misses the point as terrorism is precisely what allows globalization to exist: by ensuring that the fantasy of total exchangeability is never fulfilled, terrorism sustains the logic of capital itself. Reflections on (T)error is a meditation on the problems of confining the thinking of terrorism within the logic of exchange. This logic keeps us in the cycle of exchangeability: we remain within the game of surplus value and one-upsmanship; human lives are the very stake with which this...

Biographia Literaria

Habits in Action - A Corrective to the Neglect of Habits in Contemporary Philosophy of Action
ISBN: 9783836469821 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We are creatures of habit. Todays philosophers dont appreciate this. The result is that we tend to "intellectualise" rational human actions by assuming they result from processes of reasoning, when in fact actions usually consist of familiar routines done without any thought at all. Intellectualism misrepresents actions and creates intractable problems. This book offers a solution. An analysis is offered of habitual actions as repeated, automatic behaviours, which are also responsible since they are under the agents control. This analysis is located in an anti-intellectual tradition shared by...

What I Say: Anecdotes, Antidotes and Other Things That Come To Mind
ISBN: 9781425982881 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is the driving forces of both my father and mother that has brought me to this creative whirlwind called writing. As a result, I was inspired to put my thoughts to paper and share them. I have always enjoyed poetry - reading and writing - and want to share my particular, or as some may say, "peculiar" flow of words with others. This book evolves from memories of my childhood and into the reflections of adulthood. The ride has not always been smooth, as life would have it, even rough and bumpy at times. But throughout life there are many moments, instances, and circumstances that jog a...

Intentions and Intentional Actions in Ordinary Language and the Law
ISBN: 9783836435628 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While most philosophers agree that intentional actions play an important role in our ascriptions of responsibility, there is disagreement concerning the precise nature of this role. Unfortunately, there has traditionally been a dearth of empirical data about ascriptions of intentional action. Lately, however, researchers have begun filing in this empirical lacuna.
In this book, I discuss how this research sheds light on problems in action theory, ethics, and legal philosophy. In doing so, I first set the stage by discussing some of the problems traditionally associated with the concept of...

Genealogy, From Nietzsche to Foucault - Tracing the History of the Present
ISBN: 9783836478021 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the nineteenth century we live subject to ever-quickening social change. To deal with this challenge, Friedrich Nietzsche recommended employing purposeful historical analyses that could explain the present and control the future. Building on Nietzsches example, Michel Foucault in the twentieth century developed his own way of presenting the past in order to seve the living present. Foucaults analyses were intended to be genealogies, that is, family trees of our major social and political institutions, like churches, schools, hospitals, and prisons. The focus of this study is Foucaults...

Idealism vs. Materialism: A Philosophical Defense of Christianity
ISBN: 9781434375179 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. If at the end of its quest, a philosophy denies reality, it is deluded. If it denies knowledge, it has lost its claim to instruct. If it denies morality, it is merely decadence trying to find respectability. If it denies God, it is simply and profoundly uninformed. Millions have left the Christian faith without ever having heard its true message. Millions more have never been exposed to the philosophical beauty of Christian Idealism. I challenge you, dear reader, to consider the ideas put forward in this philosophical tract. The heresy of materialism has risen to dominate the world. Everyone...

Explanation and Understanding
ISBN: 9780415470216 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume distinguishes between two main traditions in the philosophy of science - the aristotelian, with its stress on explanation in terms of purpose and intentionality, and the galilean, which takes causal explanation as primary. It then traces the complex history of these competing traditions as they are manifested in such movements as positivism, idealism, Marxism and contemporary linguistic analysis. Hempels's theory of scientific explanation, the claims of cybernetics the rise of an analytic philosophy of action and the revival of hermenuetics are all discussed. The volume also...

A Theory of Race
ISBN: 9780415990721 / Angielski / Twarda / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Social commentators have long asked whether racial categories should be conserved or eliminated from our practices, discourse, institutions, and perhaps even private thoughts. In A Theory of Race, Joshua Glasgow argues that this set of choices unnecessarily presents us with too few options. Using both traditional philosophical tools and recent psychological research to investigate folk understandings of race, Glasgow argues that, as ordinarily conceived, race is an illusion. However, our pressing need to speak to and make sense of social life requires that we employ...
