Implicature: Intention, Convention, and Principle in the Failure of Gricean Theory
ISBN: 9780521038065 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) H. P. Grice's theory of implicature provides the leading paradigm for research in pragmatics. Wayne Davis argues controversially that Gricean theory does not work.

Peirce, Pragmatism, and the Logic of Scripture
ISBN: 9780521570411 / Angielski / Twarda / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This is the first study of Charles Peirce's philosophy as a form of writing and the first study of his pragmatic writings as a critique of the modern attempt to change society by writing philosophy. Ochs argues that, as corrected by the pragmatists, the task of modern philosophy is, through writing, to diagram the otherwise hidden rules through which modern sociey repairs itself. Peirce labelled this elemental writing "enscribing," or "scripture." Redescribing Peirce's pragmatism as "the logic of scripture," Peter Ochs suggests that Christians and Jews may in fact re-read pragmatism as a...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In this book, a philosopher who has been at the centre of contemporary debates about the nature of the mind and of its access to the world, about language and its relation to reality, and many other metaphysical and epistemological issues turns to pragmatism - and confronts the teaching of James, Peirce, Dewey and Wittgenstein, not solely out of an interest in theoretical questions, but above all to respond to the question whether it is possible to find an alternative to corrosive moral scepticism, of the one hand, and to moral authoritarianism on the other.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In this book, one of America's leading philosophers offers a sweeping reconsideration of the philosophy of culture in the twentieth century. Morton White argues that the discipline is much more important than is often recognized, and that his version of holistic pragmatism can accommodate its breadth. Going beyond Quine's dictum that philosophy of science is philosophy enough, White suggests that it should contain the word "culture" in place of "science." He defends the holistic view that scientific belief is tested by experience but that such testing is rightly applied to systems or...
