The Theory of the Individual in Economics: Identity and Value
ISBN: 9780415202190 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The concept of the individual and his/her motivations is a bedrock of philosophy. All strands of thought at heart contain to a particular theory of the individual. Economics, though, is guilty of taking this hugely important concept without questioning how we theorize it. This book remedies this oversight. The new approach put forward by Davies is to pay more attention to what moral philosophy may offer us in the study of personal identity, self consciousness and will. This crosses the traditional boundaries of economics and should shed new light on the distinction between positive and...

Each of these oppositions is...

Thinking Through Myths : Philosophical Perspectives
ISBN: 9780415254618 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Myths, it is often said, are more than false stories: they disclose alternative worlds. Yet from the perspective of most modern philosophy, the belief in mythic worlds is still seen as primitive and inadequate. When most formal approaches to the study of myths leave questions about their possible validity in the shadows, in what sense can we then claim that our myths might be true? If even rational thought is informed by myth, are scientists, politicians and philosophers mythic thinkers? And if there are truths that are best expressed in stories, should philosophers themselves become...
