Just Another Ape?
ISBN: 9781845401634 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Today, the belief that human beings are special is distinctly out of fashion. Almost every day we are presented with new revelations about how animals are so much more like us than we ever imagined. The argument is at its most powerful when it comes to our closest living relatives - the great apes. This book argues that whatever first impressions might tell us, apes are really not 'just like us'. Science has provided strong evidence that the boundaries between us and other species are vast. Unless we hold on to the belief in our exceptional abilities we will never be able to envision or... Today, the belief that human beings are special is distinctly out of fashion.

Body Matters: A Phenomenology of Sickness, Disease, and Illness
ISBN: 9780739126998 / Angielski / Miękka / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Following the core principle of phenomenology as a return 'to the things themselves, ' Body Matters attends to the phenomena of bodily afflictions and examines them from three different standpoints: from society in general that interprets them as 'sicknesses, ' from the medical professions that interpret them as 'diseases, ' and from the patients themselves who interpret them as 'illnesses.' By drawing on a crucial distinction in German phenomenology between two senses of the body_the quantifiable, material body (Ksrper) and the lived-body(Leib)_the authors explore the ways in which sickness,...

Objectivity and the Language-Dependence of Thought: A Transcendental Defence of Universal Lingualism
ISBN: 9780415882699 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Does thought depend on language? Primarily as a consequence of the cognitive turn in empirical disciplines like psychology and ethology, many current empirical researchers and empirically minded philosophers tend to answer this question in the negative. This book rejects this mainstream view and develops a philosophical argument in favor of a universal dependence of language on thought. In doing so, it comprises insights of two primary representatives of 20th century and contemporary philosophy, namely Donald Davidson and Robert Brandom. Barth offers an...

Being for: Evaluating the Semantic Program of Expressivism
ISBN: 9780199588008 / Angielski / Miękka / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Expressivism--the sophisticated contemporary incarnation of the noncognitivist research program of Ayer, Stevenson, and Hare--is no longer the province of metaethicists alone. Its comprehensive view about the nature of both normative language and normative thought has also recently been applied to many topics elsewhere in philosophy -- including logic, probability, mental and linguistic content, knowledge, epistemic modals, belief, the a priori, and even quantifiers.

The Ego Tunnel: The Science of the Mind and the Myth of the Self
ISBN: 9780465020690 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We're used to thinking about the self as an independent entity, something that we either have or are. In The Ego Tunnel, philosopher Thomas Metzinger claims otherwise: No such thing as a self exists. The conscious self is the content of a model created by our brain--an internal image, but one we cannot experience as an image. Everything we experience is "a virtual self in a virtual reality."
But if the self is not "real," why and how did it evolve? How does the brain construct it? Do we still have souls, free will, personal autonomy, or moral accountability? In a time...

The Nature Of Reality: Exploding The Mind Body Spirit Myth
ISBN: 9781450555326 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The world view presented by so-called mainstream sources has left many people dissatisfied, and with good reason. Most religions teach that we live in a universe presided over by a loving, peaceful and all-powerful God, but fail to explain why immense human suffering can be seen or experienced in life, particularly in 'natural' disasters such as a tsunami or earthquake. Classical science, with its mechanical view of the universe, has failed to explain phenomena such as telepathy, remote viewing or out of body experiences, to name just a few. These phenomena are far too well documented to be...

The World in the Head
ISBN: 9780199548033 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The World in the Head collects the best of Robert Cummins' papers on mental representation and psychological explanation. Running through these papers are a pair of themes: that explaining the mind requires functional analysis, not subsumption under "psychological laws," and that the propositional attitudes--belief, desire, intention--and their interactions, while real, are not the key to understanding the mind at a fundamental level. Taking these ideas seriously puts considerable strain on standard conceptions of rationality and reasoning, on truth-conditional semantics, and on our...

Sociobiology: Sense or Nonsense?
ISBN: 9789027709400 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In June 1975, the distinguished Harvard entomologist Edward O. Wilson published a truly huge book entitled, Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. In this book, drawing on both fact and theory, Wilson tried to present a com prehensive overview of the rapidly growing subject of 'sociobiology', the study of the biological nature and foundations of animal behaviour, more precisely animal social behaviour. Although, as the title rather implies, Wilson was more surveying and synthesising than developing new material, he com pensated by giving the most thorough and inclusive treatment possible, beginning...

The Ultimate Enlightenment For 2012: All We Need Is Ourselves
ISBN: 9780980170405 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Caught up in the web of competition, greed, jealousy, envy and hate, we have been lost to ourselves for a very long time. We have completely forgotten who we are. We have forgotten how to celebrate the expanse and greatness of all life. As we awaken and become more aware, our life is filled with the vibrations of love, peace, joy, wisdom and harmony. As one both experiences and emanates these vibrations, thereby discovering who they really are, the spark of Divine Love begins to flame within each individual soul, growing in intensity until completely embracing that which is life. It becomes...
