On Love and Loneliness
ISBN: 9780062510136 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 14-20 dni roboczych (bez gwarancji dostawy w 2019 r.) In 1950 Krishnamurti said: "It is only when the mind is not escaping in any form that it is possible to be in direct communion with that thing we call lonliness, the alone, and to have communion with that thing, there must be affection, there must be love." On Love and Lonliness is a compelling investigation of our intimate relationships with ourselves, others, and society. Krishnamurti suggests that "true relationship" can come into being only when there is self-knowledge of the conditions which divide and islolate individuals and groups. Only by renouncing the self can we... In 1950 Krishnamurti said: "It is only when the mind is not escaping in any form that it is possible to be in direct communion with that thing we c... |

On Fear
ISBN: 9780062510143 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 14-20 dni roboczych (bez gwarancji dostawy w 2019 r.) On Fear is a collection of Krishnamurti's most profound observations and thoughts on how fear and dependence affect our lives and prevent us from seeing our true selves. Among the many questions Krishnamurti addresses in these remarkable teachings are: How can a mind that is afraid love? And what can a mind that depends on attachment know of joy? He points out that the voice of fear makes the mind dull and insensitive, and argues that the roots of hidden fears, which limit us and from which we constantly seek escape, cannot be discovered through analysis of the past. Questioning... On Fear is a collection of Krishnamurti's most profound observations and thoughts on how fear and dependence affect our lives and prevent ... |

The Nature of Mind
ISBN: 9780195046717 / Angielski / Miękka / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (bez gwarancji dostawy w 2019 r.) Since the dawn of history philosophers have speculated about the nature of mind. What kind of thing is the mind? How do mental processes fit with the rest of the natural order? Is the mind something different and separate from the body? What is distinctive of the various kinds of mental phenomena such as thinking, feeling, sensing, and consciousness? Addressing these and related problems, this anthology provides a framework for understanding mental functioning. The readings are grouped into five major sections: General Problems about Mind, Self and Other, Mind and Body, The Nature of Mind,...

Part philosophical meditation, part cultural critique, The Body in Pain is a profoundly original study that has already stirred excitement in a wide range of intellectual circles. The book is an analysis of physical suffering and its relation to the numerous vocabularies and cultural forces--literary, political, philosophical, medical, religious--that confront it. Elaine Scarry bases her study on a wide range of sources: literature and art, medical case histories, documents on torture compiled by Amnesty International, legal transcripts of personal injury trials, and military and strategic...

Springs of Action
ISBN: 9780195071146 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (bez gwarancji dostawy w 2019 r.) Tackling some central problems in the philosophy of action, Mele constructs an explanatory model for intentional behavior, locating the place and significance of such mental phenomena as beliefs, desires, reason, and intentions in the etiology of intentional action. Part One comprises a comprehensive examination of the standard treatments of the relations between desires, beliefs, and actions. In Part Two, Mele goes on to develop a subtle and well-defended view that the motivational role of intentions is of a different sort from that of beliefs and desires. Mele, also offers a provocative...

Irrationality: An Essay on Akrasia, Self-Deception, and Self-Control
ISBN: 9780195080018 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (bez gwarancji dostawy w 2019 r.) Although much human action serves as proof that irrational behavior is remarkably common, certain forms of irrationality--most notably, incontinent action and self-deception--pose such difficult theoretical problems that philosophers have rejected them as logically or psychologically impossible. Here, Mele shows that, and how, incontinent action and self-deception are indeed possible. Drawing upon recent experimental work in the psychology of action and inference, he advances naturalized explanations of akratic action and self-deception while resolving the paradoxes around which the...

Confrontations with the Reaper: A Philosophical Study of the Nature and Value of Death
ISBN: 9780195089288 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (bez gwarancji dostawy w 2019 r.) What is death? Do people survive death? What do we mean when we say that someone is "dying"? Presenting a clear and engaging discussion of the classic philosophical questions surrounding death, this book studies the great metaphysical and moral problems of death. In the first part, Feldman shows that a definition of life is necessary before death can be defined. After exploring several of the most plausible accounts of the nature of life and demonstrating their failure, he goes on to propose his own conceptual scheme for death and related concepts. In the second part, Feldman turns to ethical...

A Tear Is an Intellectual Thing: The Meanings of Emotion
ISBN: 9780195123371 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (bez gwarancji dostawy w 2019 r.) Is jealousy eliminable? If so, at what cost? What are the connections between pride the sin and the pride insisted on by identity politics? How can one question an individual's understanding of their own happiness or override a society's account of its own rituals? What makes a sexual desire "perverse," or particular sexual relations (such as incestuous ones) undesirable or even unthinkable? These and other questions about what sustains and threatens our identity are pursued using the resources of philosophy, psychoanalysis, and other disciplines. The discussion throughout is informed and...

The Confessionalization of Humanism in Reformation Germany
ISBN: 9780195137125 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (bez gwarancji dostawy w 2019 r.) This book deals with the impact of the Reformation debate in Germany on the most prominent intellectual movement of the time: humanism. Although it is true that humanism influenced the course of the Reformation, says Erika Rummel, the dynamics of the relationship are better described by saying that humanism was co-opted, perhaps even exploited, in the religious debate.

Facing the Future: Agents and Choices in Our Indeterminist World
ISBN: 9780195138788 / Angielski / Twarda / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (bez gwarancji dostawy w 2019 r.) Here is an important new theory of human action, a theory that assumes actions are founded on choices made by agents who face an open future. It is a theory that makes indeterminism not only intelligible but illuminating. Tools from philosophy of language and philosophical logic help generate a full-scale account of agents "seeing to it that." The authors then proceed to clarify a variety of action-related topics such as determinism vs. indeterminism, imperatives, promises, strategies, joint agency, "could have done otherwise," deontic constructions, and assertions about a not yet settled...

Consciousness and Cognition
ISBN: 9780195141818 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (bez gwarancji dostawy w 2019 r.) Our thinking about consciousness and cognition is dominated by a certain very natural conception. This conception dictates what we take the fundamental questions about consciousness and cognition to be as well as the form that their answers must take.
In this book, Michael Thau shows that, despite its naturalness, this conception begins with and depends upon a few fundamental errors. Exorcising these errors requires that we completely reconceive the nature of both consciousness and cognition as well as the fundamental problems each poses. Thau proceeds by discussing three famous and... Our thinking about consciousness and cognition is dominated by a certain very natural conception.

In this unique contribution to philosophical debate, Craig DeLancey shows that our best understanding of emotion provides essential insight on key issues in philosophy of mind and artificial intelligence. DeLancey offers us a bold new approach to the study of the mind based on the latest scientific research, and provides an accessible overview of the science of emotion and explanation of the technical issues that arise, with minimal jargon.

In Defense of Sentimentality
ISBN: 9780195145502 / Angielski / Twarda / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (bez gwarancji dostawy w 2019 r.) Philosophy has as much to do with feelings as it does with thoughts and thinking. Philosophy, accordingly, requires not only emotional sensitivity but an understanding of the emotions, not as curious but marginal psychological phenomena but as the very substance of life. In this, the second book in a series devoted to his work on the emotions, Robert Solomon presents a defense of the emotions and of sentimentality against the background of what he perceives as a long history of abuse in philosophy and social thought and art and literary criticism. The title piece reopens a classic debate...

Stability and Justification in Hume's Treatise
ISBN: 9780195146585 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (bez gwarancji dostawy w 2019 r.) David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature is famous for its extreme skepticism. Louis Loeb argues that Hume's destructive conclusions have in fact obscured a constructive stage that Hume abandons prematurely.
Working within a philosophical tradition that values tranquillity, Hume favors an epistemology that links justification with settled belief. Hume appeals to psychological stability to support his own epistemological assessments, both favorable regarding causal inference, and unfavorable regarding imaginative propensities. The theory's success in explaining Hume's epistemic... David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature is famous for its extreme skepticism. Louis Loeb argues that Hume's destructive conclusions have in f...

The Architecture of Reason: The Structure and Substance of Rationality
ISBN: 9780195158427 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (bez gwarancji dostawy w 2019 r.) The literature on theoretical reason has been dominated by epistemological concerns, treatments of practical reason by ethical concerns. This book overcomes the limitations of dealing with each separately. It sets out a comprehensive theory of rationality applicable to both practical and theoretical reason. In both domains, Audi explains how experience grounds rationality, delineates the structure of central elements, and attacks the egocentric conception of rationality. He establishes the rationality of altruism and thereby supports major moral principles. The concluding part describes the...
