ISBN: 9780415479691 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The argument that religion provides the only compelling foundation for human rights is both challenging and thought-provoking and answering it is of fundamental importance to the furthering of the human rights agenda. This book establishes an equally compelling non-religious foundation for the idea of human rights, engaging with the writings of many key thinkers in the field, including Michael J. Perry, Alan Gewirth, Ronald Dworkin and Richard Rorty. Ari Kohen draws on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a political consensus of overlapping ideas from cultures and...

An Exploration of Truth: A Tapestry of Fact and Fiction
ISBN: 9781434372826 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Have you ever wondered if someone's telling you the truth? As a licensed psychotherapist, the author's presented daily with stories of peoples' lives, from which he needs to tease out the truth-not just a challenge for counselors and therapists, but for all of us. We're all constantly presented with 'portrayals' of the truth, from news accounts, to media reports, memoirs, the justice system, medical establishment, and daily interactions with friends and strangers.

Poverty of Conventionalism
ISBN: 9781434387264 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Poverty of Conventionalism as an allusion to Karl Popper's poverty of Historicism which he prefaced "In memory of countless men, women and children of all creeds or nations or races who became a victim to the fascist and communist belief in Inexorable Laws of Historical Destiny," is of the same foundational mindset as this one masterpiece of Popper. His concept of historicism describes how people tend to place the theorems of political science on the same shelf as the laws of physics. Hence, some would say, since astronomy can predict eclipses, why can't sociology predict a political...

Rediscovering the Philosophical Importance of Jose Ingenieros - A Bridge between two Worlds- Jose Ingenieros and his Impact
ISBN: 9783639013832 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Can there really be a hierarchy of men? This book presents a unique answer from a philosopher that has left a great impact in Latin America, but is unknown to others. For over a hundred years, the ideas Jose Ingenieros have been kept secret, mainly because of a language barrier. Until now, his works have never been translated to English. This book aims at presenting the life and philosophical ideas of Jose Ingenieros while comparing them to those of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Most importantly, this work bridges a gap between Latin American philosophy and pragmatism. This book is intended for Latin...

Statesman
ISBN: 9781421896991 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the Phaedrus, the Republic, the Philebus, the Parmenides, and the Sophist, we may observe the tendency of Plato to combine two or more subjects or different aspects of the same subject in a single dialogue. In the Sophist and Statesman especially we note that the discussion is partly regarded as an illustration of method, and that analogies are brought from afar which throw light on the main subject. And in his later writings generally we further remark a decline of style, and of dramatic power; the characters excite little or no interest, and the digressions are apt to overlay the main...

Performance and Philosophy - Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Performing Arts
ISBN: 9783639047899 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The dissertation explores interpretive conditions of contemporary performance art and interdisciplinary studies. It sets out with a discussion of Richard Foreman's I've Got the Shakes (1995), which is perceived as a paradigmatic example of postmoderm performance. The event exposes two contradictory practices: one pertaining to a postmodernist mode of performance and the other to a culture-historic practice of ritual. This conflict leads to the interpretive challenge of writing about cultural practices that are only partially semantic. Theatre has always depended on practical modes of...

The Book and Philosophy - The Role of the Book as a Medium for Philosophy in Deleuze, Derrida and Smith
ISBN: 9783639049039 / Angielski / Miękka / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Both Gilles Deleuze and Jacques Derrida explore the concept of the book as a medium of philosophy -- a medium which affects the possible message. "The Book and Philosophy," explores the attempt of both Deleuze and Derrida to rethink the role of the book in the history of philosophy. Because of the link between the traditional model of the book and the traditional role of philosophy, both Deleuze and Derrida take as an integral part of their own projects a rethinking of the book. Drawing on the book artist Keith Smith, it is shown that though Deleuze and Derrida speak of the book, what really...

Dominating Animals- The Logic of Domination
ISBN: 9783639050455 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this thesis I apply Karen Warren's Logic of Domination argument to animals. I argue that assessing animal welfare in light of a logic of domination helps to show that much of Western treatment toward animals is unjustified. I begin by outlining Karen Warren's logic of domination argument as she applies it to the patriarchal domination of women. Then I show how this same logic has led to the domination and oppression of animals. Next, I argue that traditional defences of animal welfare are inadequate as they incorporate key elements of a logic of domination.

Suppositional Reasoning in Scientific Explanations
ISBN: 9783836456227 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To suppose X means to pretend to change ones belief for the sake of the argument to include X. I examine the role of suppositional reasoning in the evaluation of purported scientific explanations of various sorts, based on Hempel and Oppenheims deductive-nomological and inductive-statistical explanations. First, for each type of explanation, I present the suppositional reasoning conditions it must satisfy. Second, I argue that a specific decision making method (Isaac Levis) should be used to determine how one is to change ones beliefs for the sake of the argument in each case. Third, I...
