How We Hope: A Moral Psychology
ISBN: 9780691171395 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What exactly is hope and how does it influence our decisions? In How We Hope, Adrienne Martin presents a novel account of hope, the motivational resources it presupposes, and its function in our practical lives. She contends that hoping for an outcome means treating certain feelings, plans, and imaginings as justified, and that hope thereby involves sophisticated reflective and conceptual capacities. Martin develops this original perspective on hope--what she calls the "incorporation analysis"--in contrast to the two dominant philosophical conceptions of hope: the...

How Physics Makes Us Free
ISBN: 9780190269449 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1687 Isaac Newton ushered in a new scientific era in which laws of nature could be used to predict the movements of matter with almost perfect precision. Newton's physics also posed a profound challenge to our self-understanding, however, for the very same laws that keep airplanes in the air and rivers flowing downhill tell us that it is in principle possible to predict what each of us will do every second of our entire lives, given the early conditions of the universe.
Can it really be that even while you toss and turn late at night in the throes of an important decision and it seems... In 1687 Isaac Newton ushered in a new scientific era in which laws of nature could be used to predict the movements of matter with almost perfect prec...

The Bounds of Freedom: Kant's Causal Theory of Action
ISBN: 9783110494662 / Angielski / Twarda / 145 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Greenberg tackles one of Kant s most difficult ideas: that we can be the cause of our actions only if the act of our will is free of everything that makes up who we are as individuals. This entails that our free will does not exist in the same time that includes our individuality. The key is an analysis of Kant s concept of an action, which includes the will as the cause of the action; so included, the causal connection is atemporal. "Greenberg tackles one of Kant s most difficult ideas: that we can be the cause of our actions only if the act of our will is free of everything tha... |

Nietzsche: Imagery and Thought: A Collection of Essays
ISBN: 9781138870581 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The central theme of this collection of essays, first published in 1978, is the basic tension in Nietzsche, and so in his work, between the urge to weave a satisfying web out of reality and the equally strong compulsion to expose its painful truths. The book aims to stress, not to play down, the embarassing and fruitful fact that he cannot be neatly pigeonholed either as a literary figure or as a professional philosopher. The book meets a long-felt need for a study in English of both the literary and the philosophical aspects of Nietzsche's work, based on his authentic texts, and...

Similarly, Marie de Gournay's editorial...

The Occult Nature of God: Questioning the Nature of Divinity
ISBN: 9781539748793 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "The Occult Nature of God" seeks to detail, according to the existence of free will and other categorical concepts, elucidate the various states in which a divinity can exist. Rather than seek to prove a deity or deities do or do not exists, it focuses upon possibility within its logical framework. Through these categories, with few exceptions, virtually all theistic paths, including atheistic variants, can be categorized and described, and often ascribed to various cultures and time periods.
