Exemplarist Moral Theory
ISBN: 9780190655846 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book Linda Zagzebski presents an original moral theory based on direct reference to exemplars of goodness, modeled on the Putnam-Kripke theory which revolutionized semantics in the seventies. In Exemplarist Moral Theory, exemplars are identified through the emotion of admiration, which Zagzebski argues is both a motivating emotion and an emotion whose cognitive content permits the mapping of the moral domain around the features of exemplars. Using examples of heroes, saints, and sages, Zagzebski shows how narratives of exemplars and empirical work on the most admirable...

Zur Entwicklung Des Mengen- Und Zahlbegriffs

Simeon Schlicht zeigt durch empirische Untersuchungen, dass Kinder den Mengen- und den Zahlbegriff gleichzeitig und in Abhangigkeit voneinander erwerben. In seiner Untersuchung mit Kindern im Alter von 3 bis 4 Jahren verwendet der Autor sog. Spielsituationen, die er nach den Regeln der Interaktionsanalyse interpretiert. Das Ergebnis steht im Gegensatz zur gangigen fachwissenschaftlichen Vorstellung, nach der Kinder zunachst den Mengenbegriff und darauf aufbauend den Zahlbegriff erlernen. Durch die Anbindung der Zahlen an reale Situationen erhalt die Arithmetik fur Kinder eher den Charakter...

Networking of Theories as a Research Practice in Mathematics Education

Reforming the Art of Living: Nature, Virtue, and Religion in Descartes's Epistemology
ISBN: 9783319375595 / Angielski / Miękka / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Descartes's concern with the proper method of belief formation is evident in the titles of his works--e.g., The Search after Truth, The Rules for the Direction of the Mind and The Discourse on Method of rightly conducting one's reason and seeking the truth in the sciences. It is most apparent, however, in his famous discussions, both in the Meditations and in the Principles, of one particularly noteworthy source of our doxastic errors--namely, the misuse of one's will. What is not widely recognized, let alone appreciated and understood, is the...

Posthuman: Consciousness and Pathic Engagement
ISBN: 9781845197131 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Emerging at the margins of science fiction, the concept of posthuman has become the most potent and pervasive movement of contemporary culture. From science to ethics, from philosophy to art, from politics to communication, posthuman studies transcend analytical-conceptual categories of traditional disciplines. This new anthropology, open to a hetero-referential alterity (bio-techno-IT), requires, on the pathic level, new forms of adaptation and integration. The emancipation of the idea of a presumed human 'essence' brings possibilities as well as risks. This book sets out to show how, beyond...

This book deals with the possibility of an ontological and epistemological account of the psychological category 'neurosis'. Intertwining thoughts from German idealism, Continental philosophy and psychology, the book shows how neurosis precedes and exists independently from human experience and lays the foundations for a non-essentialist, non-rational theory of neurosis; in cognition, in perception, in linguistics and in theories of object-relations and vitalism. The personal essays collected in this volume examine such issues as assimilation, the philosophy of neurosis, aneurysmal...

Transcendental Arguments in Moral Theory
ISBN: 9783110469806 / Angielski / Twarda / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since Barry Stroud's classic paper in 1968, the general discussion on transcendental arguments tends to focus on examples from theoretical philosophy. It also tends to be pessimistic, or at least extremely reluctant, about the potential of this kind of arguments. Nevertheless, transcendental reasoning continues to play a prominent role in some recent approaches to moral philosophy. Moreover, some authors argue that transcendental arguments may be more promising in moral philosophy than they are in theoretical contexts. Against this background, the current volume focuses on...

Spatio-Temporal Intertwining: Husserl's Transcendental Aesthetic
ISBN: 9783319383163 / Angielski / Miękka / 347 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume explores Husserl's theory of sensibility and his conceptualization of spatial and temporal constitution. The author maps the linkages between Husserl's 'transcendental aesthetic', the theory of pure experience in empirio-criticism, as well as Immanuel Kant's transcendental philosophy. The core argument in this analysis centers on the relationship between spatiality and temporality in Husserl's philosophy. The study interrogates Husserl's understanding of the relationship between spatiality and temporality in terms of stratifications, analogies and parallelisms. It incorporates a...
