In My Ever After: Immortality and Its Critics
ISBN: 9780761852650 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In My Ever After is not a mass media style "general readership" book on immortality; rather, it is an argument against a current school --- neurophilosophy's virtual equation of consciousness and the world. Without exposing the equation's weaknesses, the question of immortality, Geis argues, is moot. Part I identifies many epistemic and scientific grounds for a real world outside consciousness and self-refutational flaws in quantum physics. It employs the phenomenological method to situate "consciousness" and "other" in their relations. Part II sets forth why consciousness cannot be...

Der Begriff der Ursache spielt eine zentrale Rolle, wenn es um Verantwortung, Erklarungen oder Kontrolle von Ereignissen geht.

In diesem neuen Grundthemen-Band folgt der Autor dem bewahrten Prinzip der Reihe: Nach einem historischen Abschnitt uber den Ursachenbegriff entwickelt er mit Bezug auf gegenwartige Debatten einen eigenen Ansatz. Dabei verbindet er aktuelle philosophische mit naturwissenschaftlichen Theorien.

The Missing Link; Evolution, Reality and the Translation Paradigm
ISBN: 9783631520857 / Angielski / Miękka / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Missing Link identified by Michele Kaiser-Cooke explains the fundamental translatability of the world. Based on Darwin s theory of evolution, a link is established between various human interpretations of reality, as manifested in cultures, languages and disciplines. These different constructions of reality are essentially commensurable and therefore also translatable because of the common experience of the conditio humana. The only limits to translatability, whether between cultures, languages or disciplines, are set by the limits of human communication. By clearly defining...

Horrible Workers: Max Stirner, Arthur Rimbaud, Robert Johnson, and the Charles Manson Circle
ISBN: 9780739112007 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The poet makes himself a seer by a long, boundless, and systematic derangement of all the senses_. What if he is destroyed in his flight through things unheard of and unnamed: other horrible workers will come; they will begin at the horizons where the other has fallen. In Arthur Rimbaud's letter to Paul Demeny Rimbaud describes the poet's role as being something like a trickster. But the poet's trick, or joke, is self-directed. A long dissociation of the senses from reality creates, for the poet, a new relationship to reality. But the poet's work with reality is always something like a play...

With the help of Derrida, Lyotard and Levinas, she... This book addresses fundamental questions in systematic theology and philosophy of religion.

In contrast, this author proposes that the trajectory for a post-metaphysical ethics can be traced from the work of Martin Heidegger. Despite demonstrating that certain projects of the Post have reached an impasse, she argues that other such possibilities do develop an outline for an ethical Post that does not collapse into paradox or remain at an impasse, further suggesting that this vision of the Post holds positive significance and implications for our conceptions of...
