Eppy's Law
ISBN: 9781438916194 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The inspiration for this book comes from the 15th century philosopher, Francis Bacon. Even though it has been more than 30 years since Jerry Eppy read Bacon's Essays, he can still quote from them. While he does not think that he can verbalize his own thoughts well enough to be remembered or quoted, he still hopes that his comments on some of the modern world situations and problems can inspire some changes for the better in the world. Jerry Eppy's intended audience is anyone and everyone, but he hopes that his essays will become a required reading for some philosophy, sociology, civics, or...

The Enigma of Socratic Wisdom
ISBN: 9783639096323 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After reading Platos Apology, most of us feel an admiration for the special wisdom that makes Socrates the wisest of men: the knowledge of what he does and does not know. How puzzling it is, then, when we turn to the Charmides and find Socrates himself refuting the very possibility and utility of such a wisdom!
This book surveys how scholars have struggled to make sense of such apparent inconsistencies in Plato, and then presents recent trends in Platonic scholarship towards a new way of reading the dialogues, called the double dialogue or maieutic method. By closely examining the second... After reading Platos Apology, most of us feel an admiration for the special wisdom that makes Socrates the wisest of men: the knowledge of what he doe...

The Libertarian Dilemma
ISBN: 9783639084412 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. According to incompatibilism, determinism precludes free will. Libertarians are incompatibilists who also believe in free will. Hence, they re committed to free will s requiring the falsity of determinism indeterminism. The trouble is that the very indeterminism which the libertarians need seem inimical to free will in that it is hard to see how indeterministic events can be under the agent s control. This, in short, is the so-called Libertarian Dilemma: free will seems incompatible with determinism, but it also seems incompatible with indeterminism so, free will seems impossible. This book...

Hume's Naturalism and Logical Positivism
ISBN: 9783639082982 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. New interpretations of Hume have brought to light new problems in the fields of metaphysics and epistemology. This is evident in the skeptic and empiricist interpretations of Hume that both Hume s contemporaries and the logical positivists have held. Logical positivists have used Hume s writing as a foundation for their criterion of meaningfulness to eliminate metaphysical statements as meaningless utterances. An epistemological naturalist interpretation of Hume helps to address the problems of the positivists attempt to construct a criterion of meaning. The problems of the criterion that I...

George MacKay Brown and the Philosophy of Community
ISBN: 9780748638123 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. George Mackay Brown and the Philosophy of Community offers a bold reinterpretation of the works of a seminal Scottish author and suggests new possibilities for the study of national literatures. Drawing on philosophy, sociology, politics, and religion as well as modern trends in literary theory, this book not only argues for Brown's continued importance, but also details a new model of the relationship between literature and community. Timothy C. Baker demonstrates that a community-based discussion of literature enriches any consideration of literary depictions of modern identity.

Excerpted from the preface: In this great river of life that flows endlessly, there were moments of deep feeling when I realized that my life is a gift.

Striving to live with all, I present this book as a kind of landscape of encounters...a portrayal of thoughts and experiences that call on privileged instants in the process, instants by which I have been coming to encounter myself.

Drawing the Dragon: Western European Reinvention of China
ISBN: 9783039118120 / Angielski / Miękka / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Western reinvention of China can be found in various discourses ranging from French Enlightenment philosophes, German political economists, to British writers through centuries. It covers all aspects of Chinese culture, and varies from zealous idealization to blatant demonization.
But do those divergent and even contradictory accounts offer an alternative to -Orientalism?- Or are they artifacts with inherent and even dangerous limitations? More fundamentally, does the cultural theory of Orientalism provide an adequate basis for cross-cultural studies? This study examines...

Autonomy and Food Biotechnology in Theological Ethics

This book investigates conflicting claims in the public realm about food biotechnology. It critically evaluates the contribution such technologies make to sustainable agricultural production and environmental stewardship. Challenging the received wisdom in popular environmental theology, the book defends the role of the human person as steward of creation and presents a human-centred Christian environmental ethics rooted in the Kantian...

Systematics and the Economics of Culture
ISBN: 9783631576496 / Angielski / Miękka / 537 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Systematics presents a revolutionary, qualitative and rigorous endeavor (from elements to system space) in searching for the unifying understandings of all entities existing in the universe. In light of systematics, the economies of the world embedded in the labyrinth of technologies, politics, social conditions, and cultures are studied, with general models (i.e., the West and the East) presented and with focal points provided to establish solid foundations for predicting the possible catching-up of the United States by China in a finite time. For the readers of humanities, there are a few...

The Church as a Replacement of Israel: An Analysis of Supersessionism: An Analysis of Supersessionism
ISBN: 9783631586037 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Does the Christian church replace the nation Israel in the plan of God? The doctrine of supersessionism answers this question in the affirmative. But is supersessionism a biblical doctrine? Michael J. Vlach offers a detailed examination of the view that the church is the new Israel that permanently takes the place of the nation Israel. He surveys the supersessionist view in church history and then examines its hermeneutical and theological arguments. He also presents a case against supersessionism. In a unique way, he lays out the arguments of both supersessionism and non-supersessionism and...

Peirce's Theory of Inquiry and Beyond: Towards a Social Reconstruction of Science Theory
ISBN: 9783631588789 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. About a decade ago, an antagonistic debate on the science war arose on both sides of the Atlantic. At issue was how far the social sciences could intervene in disentangling the practice of science. The debate has now calmed down, but has by no means been solved. As a continuation of the antagonism that once haunted the advocates of Karl Popper against those of Thomas Kuhn, versions of this animated debate are likely to arise again. In this light, the theory of inquiry once launched by Charles S. Peirce may prove valuable. Despite early efforts by, amongst others, Karl-Otto Apel and Jurgen...

Mechanisms and Models
ISBN: 9783639161168 / Angielski / Miękka / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Drawing on the work of William Bechtel and Ronald
Giere, the book outlines an interpretive framework for the study of the sciences based on mechanisms and models rather than laws. The first part looks at the history of mathematics and mechanistic explanation, which developed hand in hand in the 17th century and provided support for the idea that scientific knowledge is epitomized by laws of nature. The second part develops a framework for mechanistic explanation that is not based primarily on laws. The third part presents a model-based account of scientific explanation and a...

The Phenomenon of Spousal Violence
ISBN: 9783639166255 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Spousal violence is a persistent global phenomenon. This book documents an analysis of some of its causes, methods and consequences from an ethical perspective. It recommends a paradigm shift in understanding spousal violence from its being a normal societal behaviour to a gross human rights violation. The author argues that relationships of dominance, control and power that characterize marital relationships should be replaced with those of justice, equality and freedom for integral development. The book is highly recommended for policy makers, scholars, students and researchers in the...

Information Systems and DNA
ISBN: 9783639166569 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The question of how life began is one of the
most fundamental concerns in both science and religion. This issue stands at the heart of the conflict between atheistic and religious worldviews, and is deemed a mystery in science. Recent advances, however, in our understanding of the structure and function of DNA and protein have produced a wealth of knowledge concerning the uniqueness of these biological entities. This book hopes to contribute to this debate by arguing that of the three possible modes of explanation - regularity, chance and design - the informational nature of...
