Dick explores the deep affinity between two seemingly quite different thinkers, in their attempts to address the need for salvation in (and from) an era of accelerated mechanization, in which humans' capacity for destroying or subjugating the living has attained a planetary scale. The philosopher and the science fiction writer come together to meet the contradictory imperatives of a realist outlook-a task which, arguably, philosophy and science fiction could only ever adequately undertake in...

What Makes Time Special?
ISBN: 9780198797302 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As we navigate through life we instinctively model time as having a flowing present that divides a fixed past from open future. This model develops in childhood and is deeply saturated within our language, thought and behavior, affecting our conceptions of the universe, freedom and the self. Yet as central as it is to our lives, physics seems to have no room for this flowing present. What Makes Time Special? demonstrates this claim in detail and then turns to two novel positive tasks. First, by looking at the world -sideways- - in the spatial directions -- it shows that physics is...

Self-Determination: The Ethics of Action, Volume 1
ISBN: 9780199272754 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Thomas Pink offers a new approach to the problem of free will. Do we have control of how we act, so that we are free to act in more than one way, and does it matter to morality whether we do? Pink argues that what matters to morality is not in fact the freedom to do otherwise, but something more primitive - a basic capacity or power to determine for ourselves what we do. This capacity might or might not take the form of a freedom to act in more than one way, and it might or might not be compatible with causal determinism. What really matters to morality is that it is we who determine what we...

Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra presents a new study of Leibniz's Principle of the Identity of Indiscernibles-a principle which rules out numerically distinct but perfectly similar things.

Tod
ISBN: 9783110533446 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Das Phanomen des Todes fordert wie kein anderes das philosophische Thaumazein heraus, das Sich-Wundern und das Stellen grundlegender Fragen. Deshalb ist er ein stets wiederkehrendes Thema der Philosophie. Es ist zugleich eines der Themen, dessen philosophische Behandlung im Zeitverlauf die radikalsten Wandlungen erfahren hat. Wahrend viele der Aussagen uber den Tod, die wir etwa in der Philosophie des Hellenismus finden, heute noch ebenso gultig sind wie vor mehr als 2000 Jahren, haben sich andere uberlebt oder sind Gegenstand von Kontroversen geworden. Ursachlich dafur sind sowohl der... Das Phanomen des Todes fordert wie kein anderes das philosophische Thaumazein heraus, das Sich-Wundern und das Stellen grundlegender Fragen. Deshal... |

Consciousness and Fundamental Reality
ISBN: 9780190677015 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A core philosophical project is the attempt to uncover the fundamental nature of reality, the limited set of facts upon which all other facts depend. Perhaps the most popular theory of fundamental reality in contemporary analytic philosophy is physicalism, the view that the world is fundamentally physical in nature. The first half of this book argues that physicalist views cannot account for the evident reality of conscious experience, and hence that physicalism cannot be true. Unusually for an opponent of physicalism, Goff argues that there are big problems with the most well-known arguments...

Primitive Colors: A Case Study in Neo-Pragmatist Metaphysics and Philosophy of Perception
ISBN: 9780198785910 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Joshua Gert presents an original account of color properties, and of our perception of them. He employs a general philosophical strategy--neo-pragmatism--which challenges an assumption made by virtually all other theories of color. Neo-pragmatism rejects the standard representationalist strategy for solving "placement problems" in philosophy, which relies on the existence of a substantive notion of reference and truth. Instead, it makes use of deflationary accounts of such semantic notions. Applied to the domain of color, the result is a view according to which colors are primitive properties...
