Force, Movement, Intensity: The Newtonian Imagination in the Humanities and Social Sciences
ISBN: 9780522860818 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Of all the scientific works that have influenced the social sciences and humanities, none has matched the profound effect of the work of Isaac Newton. In his 1687 masterpiece Principia Mathematica he laid the foundation of classical mechanics in his discoveries of the laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation. He reoriented human understanding of the cosmos, thus boosting the confidence of human beings to access elements of what they saw as the divine logic behind the order of things and to have a sense of control over it. From the nineteenth century to the present day,...

Know Thyself: An Essay on Social Personalism
ISBN: 9780739146187 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Know Thyself: An Essay in Social Personalism proposes that social Personalism can best provide for self-knowledge. In the West, self-knowledge has been sought within the framework of two dominant intellectual traditions, order and the emerging self. On the one hand, ancient and medieval philosophers living in an orderly hierarchical society, governed by honor and shame, and bolstered by the metaphysics of being and rationalism, believed persons gain self-knowledge through uniting with the ground of their being; once united they would understand what they are, what they are to be, and what...

Dummett on Abstract Objects
ISBN: 9780230285194 / Angielski / Twarda / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Michael Dummett's work on the problem of abstract objects is central to contemporary debates within the philosophy of language and mathematics. This book offers an historically-informed critical assessment of Dummett's account of abstract objects, examining in detail some of the Fregean presuppositions whilst also engaging with recent work on the problem of abstract entities. One of the main theses of the book is that contemporary debates on abstract objects can be illuminated by contrasting the work of Frege and Husserl on issues such as the constitution of meaning, the objectivity of...

Simplicius: On Aristotle On the Heavens 1.1-4
ISBN: 9780715630709 / Angielski / Twarda / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In chapter 1 of On the Heavens Aristotle defines body, and then notoriously ruptures dynamics by introducing a fifth element, beyond Plato's four, to explain the rotation of the heavens, which, like nearly all Greeks, Aristotle took to be real, not apparent. Even a member of his school, Xenarchus, we are told, rejected his fifth element. The Neoplatonist Simplicius seeks to harmonise Plato and Aristotle. Plato, he says, thought that the heavens were composed of all four elements but with the purest kind of fire, namely light, predominating. That Plato would not mind this being called a...

Das Allgemeine bei Locke
ISBN: 9783110268492 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 523 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Die Frage nach dem Status des Allgemeinen ist seit der Antike Gegenstand philosophischer Debatten. John Lockes Behandlung dieses Themas ist nicht nur fur das Verstandnis seines Werkes zentral, sondern auch fur die neuzeitliche Diskussion von groer Bedeutung. Der Autor untersucht das Problem zunachst in seinem historischen Diskussionskontext und bietet anschlieend eine detaillierte Analyse der Position Lockes, wobei er dessen Ansatz als Anknupfung an den traditionellen Konzeptualismus interpretiert.

This highly personal account of a lifetime s spiritual and philosophical enquiry charts the author s journey of faith through contemporary culture. Distinguishing between what she posits as the universal and the rhapsodic logos, Tymieniecka interrogates concepts as varied as creativity and the media, joy and suffering, and truth and ambiguity.

Transzendentaler Antirealismus
ISBN: 9783110263862 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 679 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Die meisten modernen Epistemologien benutzen zur Formulierung ihrer Problemexpositionen wissenstranszendente Standpunkte. Damit verstoen sie gegen Sinnbedingungen philosophischen Argumentierens, deren Einhaltung bereits von Kant gefordert wurde. Die vorliegende Untersuchung erarbeitet im Detail die sinn- und sprachkritischen sowie bedeutungstheoretischen Grundlagen einer Erkenntnistheorie, die einzig auf Wissbarkeit verpflichtet ist. Dies umfasst im Einzelnen die Bereitstellung einer Theorie epistemologischer Prasuppositionen, einer antirealistischen Bedeutungstheorie, einer...

Spinoza believed that there was only one substance in reality, which he called 'God or nature'. A number of leading contemporary philosophers have defended monism, this strange and beautiful idea that the cosmos is the source of all being.

Subconscious and the Superconscious Planes of Mind
ISBN: 9781616403539 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Subconscious and the Superconscious Planes of Mind, written by W.W. Atkinson in 1909, is a somewhat supernatural text on the different levels at which the mind works and functions. There are the sub-conscious (below normal), conscious (normal), and super-conscious (above normal) levels, which Atkinson describes in detail. He also covers the elements of each level-for example, in the subconscious our memory works and resides. While based in hard facts, Atkinson uses the mind theories to justify instances such as telepathy and mind reading, in which he strongly believed. American writer WILLIAM...

Our Knowledge of the Internal World
ISBN: 9780199592036 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On the traditional Cartesian picture, knowledge of one's own internal world -- of one's current thoughts and feelings -- is the unproblematic foundation for all knowledge. The philosophical problem is to explain how we can move beyond this knowledge, how we can form a conception of an objective world, and how we can know that the world answers to our conception of it. This book is in the anti-Cartesian tradition that seeks to reverse the order of explanation. Robert Stalnaker argues that we can understand our knowledge of our thoughts and feelings only by viewing ourselves from the outside,...

Why Does the World Exist?: An Existential Detective Story
ISBN: 9780871404091 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Whether framed philosophically as Why is there a world rather than nothing at all? or more colloquially as But, Mommy, who made God? the metaphysical mystery about how we came into existence remains the most fractious and fascinating question of all time. Following in the footsteps of Christopher Hitchens, Roger Penrose, and even Stephen Hawking, Jim Holt emerges with an engrossing narrative that traces our latest efforts to grasp the origins of the universe. As he takes on the role of cosmological detective, the brilliant yet slyly humorous Holt contends that we might have been too narrow in...

Human-Environment Relations: Transformative Values in Theory and Practice
ISBN: 9789400728240 / Angielski / Twarda / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This fresh and innovative approach to human-environmental relations will revolutionise our understanding of the boundaries between ourselves and the environment we inhabit. The anthology is predicated on the notion that values shift back and forth between humans and the world around them in an ethical communicative zone called value-space . The contributors examine the transformative interplay between external environments and human values, and identify concrete ways in which these norms, residing in and derived from self and society, are projected onto the environment."

Ontological Fundamentals for Ethical Management: Heidegger and the Corporate World
ISBN: 9789400737990 / Angielski / Miękka / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book develops a philosophical foundation to the field of management education using the work of Martin Heidegger as a guiding philosophy. It asks the questions 'what is a corporation?' and 'what is corporate management?' These two questions are foundational for management thought in general and management ethics in particular. Most other academic fields are in some way defined and guided by a philosophical discourse. This philosophical discourse is largely missing in the field of management thought and education. Without this foundation it can never be clear what actually belongs into a...
