Toward Consilience: The Bioneurological Basis of Behavior, Thought, Experience, and Language
ISBN: 9780306464362 / Angielski / Twarda / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The present work is the second in a series constituting an extension of my doctoral thesis done at Stanford in the early 1970s. Like the earlier work, The Reciprocal Modular Brain in Economics and Politics, Shaping the Rational and Moral Basis ofOrganization, Exchange, and Choice (Plenum Publishing, 1999), it may also be considered to respond to the call for consilience by Edward O. Wilson. I agree with Wilson that there is a pressing need in the sciences today for the unification of the social with the natural sciences. I consider the present work to proceed from the perspective of...

The Construction of New Mathematical Knowledge in Classroom Interaction: An Epistemological Perspective
ISBN: 9780387242514 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mathematics is generally considered as the only science where knowledge is uni form, universal, and free from contradictions. Mathematics is a social product - a 'net of norms', as Wittgenstein writes. In contrast to other institutions - traffic rules, legal systems or table manners -, which are often internally contradictory and are hardly ever unrestrictedly accepted, mathematics is distinguished by coherence and consensus. Although mathematics is presumably the discipline, which is the most differentiated internally, the corpus of mathematical knowledge constitutes a coher ent whole. The...

History as a System, and Other Essays Toward a Philosophy of History
ISBN: 9780393001228 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Senor Ortega y Gasset has contributed a thoughtful and a careful analysis of our present situation. If he is correct, then nationalism and liberalism as we have known them in the past are doomed. A new and perhaps a better order and conditioning of life are on the way. This book attempts to justify historically the coming of great change the same great change that was prophesied by William Morris in England, more than half a century ago. The New York Times"

Philosophy and the Adventure of the Virtual: Bergson and the Time of Life
ISBN: 9780415237284 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work considers these questions and many others in this lucid and imaginatively argued volume of essays, at the heart of which lies a philosophy of the virtual. The notion of the virtual has assumed a remarkable level of importance in recent years with the development of new technologies and the emergence of the Internet. Yet its precise ontological status and the range of its application to time and memory remain unclear and relatively unexplored. Keith Ansell Pearson brings the virtual to centre stage and argues its importance for re-thinking the central philosophical questions.

The Metaphysics of Perception : Wilfrid Sellars, Perceptual Consciousness and Critical Realism
ISBN: 9780415284455 / Angielski / Twarda / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book challenges contemporary direct realist theories of perception and defends a version of the causal theory that the author locates in the critical realist tradition of which Wilfrid Sellars is the main recent exponent. The author highlights the difficulties direct realists face in providing a coherent positive account of their view. He develops an analysis of perceptual experience derived from the later writings of Sellars. According to this account experience involves both low-level concepts and a distinct sensory component. This view makes sense of the various notions of...

Material Falsity and Error in Descartes' Meditations
ISBN: 9780415349840 / Angielski / Twarda / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Material Falsity and Error in Descartes's Meditations approaches Descartes's Meditations as an intellectual journey, wherein Descartes's views develop and change as he makes new discoveries about self, God and matter. The first book to focus closely on Descartes's notion of material falsity, it shows how Descartes's account of material falsity - and correspondingly his account of crucial notions such as truth, falsehood and error - evolves according to the epistemic advances in the Meditations. It also offers important new insights on the crucial role of Descartes's Third...

Knowledge and Decisions
ISBN: 9780465037384 / Angielski / Miękka / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With a new preface by the author, this reissue of Thomas Sowell's classic study of decision making updates his seminal work in the context of The Vision of the Annointed, Sowell, one of America's most celebrated public intellectuals, describes in concrete detail how knowledge is shared and disseminated throughout modern society. He warns that society suffers from an ever-widening gap between firsthand knowledge and decision making--a gap that threatens not only our economic and political efficiency, but our very freedom because actual knowledge gets replaced by assumptions based on an...

The Logic of the History of Ideas
ISBN: 9780521016841 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book provides a philosophical analysis of the reasoning appropriate to the history of ideas. It addresses three main questions: what sort of meanings do historians study? How can historians justify claims to have objective knowledge of such meanings? What sorts of explanations are appropriate to such meanings? By answering these questions Mark Bevir seeks to clarify the nature of the history of ideas so as to guide historians in their practice, and to illuminate the process by which human thought develops.

Subjects of Experience
ISBN: 9780521031554 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this innovative study E.J. Lowe demonstrates the inadequacy of physicalism, even in its mildest, nonreductionist guises, as a basis for a scientifically and philosophically acceptable account of human beings as subjects of experience, thought and action. He shows how an attribution of independent causal powers to the mental states of human subjects is perfectly consistent with a thoroughly natural world view, and examines the role that conscious mental states play in the human subject's exercise of its most central capacities for perception, action, thought and self-knowledge.

Object and Property
ISBN: 9780521042093 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Denkel argues that objects are nothing more than bundles of properties. From this point of view he tackles some central questions of ontology: how is an object distinct from others; how does it remain the same while it changes through time? A second contention is that properties are particular entities restricted to the objects they inhabit. The appearance that they exist generally, in a multitude of things, is due to the way we conceptualize them.

Metaphysics
ISBN: 9780521286909 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book provides an introduction to metaphysics. At the outset Professor Hamlyn distinguishes two conceptions of metaphysics running through the history of the subject. One, which goes back to Aristotle, is concerned with ontology, and with what has to exist for beings such as we are; the other separates appearance and reality and attempts to establish what really exists. Professor Hamlyn's account of metaphysics conforms with the first tradition. This is not, however, primarily a historical exposition. The discussion concentrates on central metaphysical concepts and problems, including the...

Object and Property
ISBN: 9780521550109 / Angielski / Twarda / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this work, Professor Arda Denkel develops a unified ontology of objecthood, essences and causation. A principal tenet is that while the basic units of the physical world are substances, particular properties are the analytic ultimates of existence. Although properties must inhere in objects, individual things are nothing more than compresences of properties at particular positions. There exist no mysterious substrata. Principles explaining how properties are held together in compresences are basically the same as those that account for essences and for causal relations. There exist no...

John Locke and the Ethics of Belief
ISBN: 9780521559096 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book discusses the ethics of belief that Locke developed in the last book of his Essay: how we ought to govern our opinions, especially on matters of religion and morality. Wolterstorff shows that this concern was instigated by the collapse of a once-unified moral and religious tradition in Europe into warring factions. After presenting Hume's powerful attack on Locke's recommended practice, Wolterstorff argues for Locke's originality and emphasizes his contribution to the "modernity" of post-sixteenth-century philosophy.

The World Without, the Mind Within: An Essay on First-Person Authority
ISBN: 9780521560931 / Angielski / Twarda / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this original and challenging study, Andre Gallois proposes and defends a new thesis about the character of our knowledge of our own intentional states. Taking up issues at the center of attention in contemporary analytic philosophy of mind and epistemology, he examines accounts of self-knowledge by such philosophers as Donald Davidson, Tyler Burge and Crispin Wright, and advances his own view that, without relying on observation, we are able justifiably to attribute to ourselves propositional attitudes, such as belief, that we consciously hold.

Fiction and Metaphysics
ISBN: 9780521640800 / Angielski / Twarda / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This challenging study places fiction squarely at the center of the discussion of metaphysics. Philosophers have traditionally treated fiction as involving a set of narrow problems in logic or the philosophy of language. By contrast Amie Thomasson argues that fiction has far-reaching implications for central problems of metaphysics. The book develops an "artifactual" theory of fiction, whereby fictional characters are abstract artifacts as ordinary as laws or symphonies or works of literature. In taking seriously the work of literary scholars and in citing a wide range of literary examples,...

This book presents a philosophical analysis of the disciplines that reveal scientific knowledge of the past. Aviezer Tucker argues that historiography as a scientific discipline should be considered an attempt to analyze the evidence of past events. This new approach to historiography will interest philosophers, historians and social scientists concerned with the methodological foundations of their disciplines.

Aesthetics and Cognition in Kant's Critical Philosophy
ISBN: 9780521862011 / Angielski / Twarda / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume explores the relationship between Kant's aesthetic theory and his critical epistemology as articulated in the Critique of Pure Reason and the Critique of the Power of Judgment. The essays, written specially for this volume, explore core elements of Kant's epistemology, such as his notions of discursive understanding, experience, and objective judgment. They also demonstrate a rich grasp of Kant's critical epistemology that enables a deeper understanding of his aesthetics. Collectively, the essays reveal that Kant's critical project, and the dialectics of aesthetics and cognition...
