«What Is Literature?»
ISBN: 9783039109166 / Angielski / Miękka / 530 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The answer to the question 'what is literature?' has not been found. This is the first book-length attempt to find the answer, by one author, since Sartre in his 1948 book with the same title. The book addresses issues such as: how does literature speak to the world; what is great writing; what is originality; what sorts of truths are there, if any, in creative writing? The book uses hundreds of literary examples, and confronts them with philosophy. The book also explores some big questions about the meaning of life, and sets them against a range of literature. It asks questions like: how...

The Logic of Cultures: Three Structures of Philosophical Thought
ISBN: 9783034303781 / Angielski / Miękka / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book proposes to identify three long-term structures in causal reasoning in particular, in terms of the relationship between cause and identity that appear to be of value in categorizing and organizing various trends in philosophical thought.
Such conceptual schemes involve a host of philosophical dilemmas (such as the problem of relativism), which are examined in the first chapter. A number of naturalistic and transcendental approaches to this problem are also analysed. In particular, the book attempts to construct a theoretical basis for Foucault s tripartite classification of...

Home: A Bachelardian Concrete Metaphysics
ISBN: 9783039119905 / Angielski / Miękka / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the notion of the homely which rests at the foundation of Gaston Bachelard s concrete metaphysics. In order to trace the development of this effaced notion through the history of contemporary Continental philosophy and literature, this study progresses along two distinct arcs. One is presented in a traditional chronological fashion whereby the reader is invited to dig down into the enormous chasm set forth in Martin Heidegger s writing and its reception; become lost in Mark Danielewski s House of Leaves; climb out from this labyrinth into the maternal home; and,...

Philosophical Essays: Critic Rationalism as Historical-Objective Transcendentalism- Edited by Fabio Minazzi- Translation from Italian by Ric
ISBN: 9789052017785 / Angielski / Miękka / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. These Philosophical Essays by Giulio Preti explore, with particular acuteness and originality, some of the major problems addressed by contemporary philosophy. Preti s objective was to outline a -scientific- philosophy capable of embodying the rigour and concern for the factual found in scientific procedure.
His analysis engaged with the complex tradition of logical empiricism and he also devoted attention to pragmatism and the philosophy of praxis in early Marx. Preti succeeded in establishing a dialogue with these traditions of thought while also considering both Husserl s...

Knowing God by Name: A Conversation Between Elizabeth A. Johnson and Karl Barth
ISBN: 9780820478630 / Angielski / Miękka / 291 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Does women s experience matter for theological inquiry? Elizabeth Johnson s premise is that it does, and that the failure of traditional Trinitarian doctrine to account for women s relationality results in a too radical distinction between God and the world. Drawing on feminist ethics and God-talk, transcendental experience, and panentheistic Trinitarian theology, she constructs an alternative relational ontology and Trinitarian female symbol. Is her integration of these multiple systems viable? More importantly, can divine and human freedom, distinction and personhood be upheld within...

Continuity, Quantum, Continuum, and Dialectic
ISBN: 9780820463988 / Angielski / Twarda / 497 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Continuity, quantum, continuum, and dialectic are foundational logics of Western historical thought. The historiographical method to discern them is a critique of historical reason. Through stylistics Mark E. Blum demonstrates how the inner temporal experience of the person shapes both judgment and historical action. Blum s work augments the epistemology of Immanuel Kant, Wilhelm Dilthey, and Edmund Husserl. Studies of significant persons from Shakespeare through the Framers of the American Constitution, as well as contemporary adolescents, illustrate the intergenerational presence of these...

Dialogues Concerning Natural Numbers
ISBN: 9781433107801 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dialogues Concerning Natural Numbers advances a thesis made several years ago by Rudolph Carnap: The sentence -There are numbers- is a trivial truth if construed as an assertion from within mathematics. As such it cannot possibly divide philosophers of mathematics. It lacks sense if construed as an assertion outside of mathematics. Unfortunately, the truth and importance of Carnap s thesis has not been fully appreciated by philosophers of mathematics. The six dialogues that compose Dialogues Concerning Natural Numbers were formed to bring attention and praise to Carnap s...

Idealismus in praktischer Absicht; Studien zu Kant, Schelling und Hegel
ISBN: 9783631640890 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 237 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Der Deutsche Idealismus war und ist eine der wirkungsmachtigsten Ideenkonstellationen in der Geschichte der Philosophie nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil er Idealismus in praktischer Absicht war und auf geschichtlichen Fortschritt zielte. Er hat seine wesentlichen Quellen in der deutschen Kulturgeschichte. Ihn jedoch als ein vorrangig nationalgeschichtliches Phanomen zu behandeln, wurde zu kurz greifen. Transnational haben kulturelle Traditionen und Zukunftsperspektiven bei seiner Rezeption eine grosse Rolle gespielt und ihm jeweils ein besonderes Profil verliehen. Berucksichtigt man auch die...

The collection of papers of this book discuss Whitehead s bold theory of perception from different angles. According to the major perspectives the book is divided into two major parts: the philosophical and the psychological perspective.

Unmittelbarkeit
ISBN: 9783943334036 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Unmittelbarkeit bezeichnet in der philosophischen Tradition etwas, was keiner weiteren erklarenden Begrundung bedarf und sich von selbst versteht, also unmittelbar einleuchtet. Dialektisches Denken bricht diese Selbstverstandlichkeiten auf, indem es auch die Kategorie der Unmittelbarkeit vermittelt; die dialektische Kritik der Unmittelbarkeit ist Aufklarung im Begriff, die das Gegebene nicht fraglos hinnimmt. Dies wird im Ruckgang auf die Geschichte des Begriffs dargelegt. Ihren Wendepunkt hat diese Geschichte bei Hegel, der den Schein der Unmittelbarkeit aufzeigt, indem er Unmittelbarkeit...

Projection and Realism in Hume's Philosophy
ISBN: 9780199575657 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In his writings, Hume talks of our 'gilding and staining' natural objects, and of the mind's propensity to 'spread itself' on the world. This has led commentators to use the metaphor of 'projection' in connection with his philosophy: Hume is held to have taught that causal power and self are projections, that God is a projection of our fear, and that value is a projection of sentiment. By considering what it is about Hume's writing that occasions this metaphor, P. J. E. Kail spells out its meaning, the role it plays in Hume's work, and examines how, if at all, what sounds 'projective' in Hume...

No overall history of the philosophical dialogue has appeared since Rudolf Hirzel's two-volume study was published in 1895. In The Philosophical Dialogue: A Poetics and a Hermeneutics, Vittorio Hosle covers the development of the genre from its beginning with Plato to the late twentieth-century work of Iris Murdoch and Paul Feyerabend. Hosle presents a taxonomy and a doctrine of categories for the complex literary genre of the philosophical dialogue, focusing on the poetical laws that structure the genre, and develops hermeneutical rules for its correct interpretation. Following an...

Philosophy Without Intuitions
ISBN: 9780198703020 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The claim that contemporary analytic philosophers rely extensively on intuitions as evidence is almost universally accepted in current meta-philosophical debates and it figures prominently in our self-understanding as analytic philosophers. No matter what area you happen to work in and what views you happen to hold in those areas, you are likely to think that philosophizing requires constructing cases and making intuitive judgments about those cases. This assumption also underlines the entire experimental philosophy movement: only if philosophers rely on intuitions as evidence are data about...

Mind, Society, and Human Action: Time and Knowledge in a Theory of Social Economy
ISBN: 9780415750011 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Economics originated as a branch of the humane studies that was concerned with trying to understand how some societies flourish while others stagnate, and also how once-flourishing societies could come to stagnate. Over the major part of the 20th century, however, economists mostly turned away from these humane and societal concerns by importing mechanistic ideas from 19th century physics. This book seeks to show how that original humane and social focus can be renewed. The many particular topics the book examines can be traced to two central ideas. Firstly, that economic theory, like...
