Averroes' Physics: A Turning Point in Medieval Natural Philosophy
ISBN: 9780199567737 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ruth Glasner presents an illuminating reappraisal of Averroes' physics. Glasner is the first scholar to base her interpretation on the full range of Averroes' writings, including texts that are extant only in Hebrew manuscripts and have not been hitherto studied. She reveals that Averroes changed his interpretation of the basic notions of physics--the structure of corporeal reality and the definition of motion--more than once. After many hesitations he offers a bold new interpretation of physics which Glasner calls "Aristotelian atomism." Ideas that are usually ascribed to scholastic...

This work surveys the philosophies of music of important thinkers in Islam between the ninth and 15th centuries AD.

The Crisis of Causality: Voetius and Descartes on God, Nature and Change
ISBN: 9789004103719 / Angielski / Twarda / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Crisis of Causality deals with the reaction of the Dutch Calvinist theologian Gisbertus Voetius (1589-1676) to the New Philosophy of Rene Descartes (1596-1650). Voetius not only criticised the Cartesian idea of a mechanical Universe; he also foresaw that shifting conceptions of natural causality would make it impossible for theologians to explain the relationship between God and Creation in philosophical terms. This threatened the status of theology as a scientific discipline. Apart from a detailed analysis of the Scholastic and Cartesian notions of causality, the book...

Medieval Philosophy and Modern Times
ISBN: 9789401058353 / Angielski / Miękka / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modern developments in philosophy have provided us with tools, logical and methodological, that were not available to Medieval thinkers - a development that has its dangers as well as opportunities. Modern tools allow one to penetrate old texts and analyze old problems in new ways, offering interpretations that the old thinkers could not have known. But unless one remains sensitive to the fact that language has undergone changes, bringing with it a shift in the meaning of terminology, one can easily perpetrate an anachronism.
Yet there is a growing need to bring modern tools and to bear... Modern developments in philosophy have provided us with tools, logical and methodological, that were not available to Medieval thinkers - a developmen...

The Birth of Theory
ISBN: 9780226135397 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modern theory needs a history lesson. Neither Marx nor Nietzsche first gave us theory--Hegel did. To support this contention, Andrew Cole's The Birth of Theory presents a refreshingly clear and lively account of the origins and legacy of Hegel's dialectic as theory. Cole explains how Hegel boldly broke from modern philosophy when he adopted medieval dialectical habits of thought to fashion his own dialectic. While his contemporaries rejected premodern dialectic as outdated dogma, Hegel embraced both its emphasis on language as thought and its fascination with the categories of identity...

The Logic of Gersonides: A Translation of Sefer Ha-Heqqesh Ha-Yashar (the Book of the Correct Syllogism) of Rabbi Levi Ben Gershom with Introdu
ISBN: 9789401051552 / Angielski / Miękka / 345 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the great libraries of Europe and the United States, hidden in fading manuscripts on forgotten shelves, lie the works of medieval Hebrew logic. From the end of the twelfth century through the Renaissance, Jews wrote and translated commentaries and original compositions in Aristotelian logic. One can say without exaggeration that wherever Jews studied philosophy - Spain, France, Northern Africa, Germany, Palestine - they began their studies with logic. Yet with few exceptions, the manuscripts that were catalogued in the last century have failed to arouse the interest of modem scholars....

Maimonides and Philosophy
ISBN: 9789401084987 / Angielski / Miękka / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the year 1985, presumed to mark the 850th anniversary of Maimonides' birth, the Sixth Jerusalem Philosophical Encounter was dedicated to Maim onides as philosopher. We did not enter into the other aspects of his work, rabbinical, legal, medical, etc., except in so far as the relation between his philosophy and his work in halakha (Jewish law) is itself a philosophical question. That no one is quite certain about Maimonides' date of birth is symbolic of the state of his philosophy as well. Maimonides' thought poses various enigmas, lends itself to contradictory interpretations and gives...

This is the first edition ever of Moerbeke's Latin translation of Ptolemy s celebrated astrological handbook, known under the title Tetrabiblos or Quadripartitum (opus). Ptolemy s treatise (composed after 141 AD) offers a systematic overview of astrological science and had, together with his Almagest, an enormous influence up until the 17th century. In the Latin Middle Ages the work was mostly known through translations from the Arabic. William of Moerbeke s translation was made directly from the Greek and it is a major scholarly achievement manifesting not only Moerbeke s genius...

Ernst Cassirer: The Swedish Years
ISBN: 9783039106882 / Angielski / Miękka / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ernst Cassirer was professor in Goteborg from 1935 to 1941.

This book based on recently discovered sources gives a detailed picture of Cassirer s life and work in Sweden. It explains how he was invited to Sweden and why he became a Swedish citizen. The analyses show how Cassirer s exchange with Swedish philosophers influenced his work and shed new light on his development... Ernst Cassirer was professor in Goteborg from 1935 to 1941.

Erziehung Zur Muendigkeit Und Kants Idee Der Freiheit

Obwohl der Mundigkeitsbegriff seine herausragende Stellung in der erziehungswissenschaftlichen Diskussion mittlerweile eingebusst hat, ist er immer noch als Erziehungsziel gegenwartig. Wer von Mundigkeit redet, meint mal mehr, mal weniger explizit das Verantwortung begrundende Freiheitsvermogen, sich selbst regieren zu konnen. Angenommen, die moderne Hirnforschung hatte Recht und Freiheit ware tatsachlich nur eine Illusion, musste mit der Unmoglichkeit von Freiheit und Verantwortung
konsequenterweise auch der Mundigkeitsbegriff verworfen werden. Kants Idee der Freiheit zeigt, warum... Obwohl der Mundigkeitsbegriff seine herausragende Stellung in der erziehungswissenschaftlichen Diskussion mittlerweile eingebusst hat, ist er immer no...
