Philosophers of Process
ISBN: 9780823218783 / Angielski / Twarda / 449 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Process philosophy is fundamentally a metaphysical position. Its doctrine is that the universe is essentially to be understood not as substance and causality, as in the Cartesian tradition, but as process and creativity. Since the publication of the first edition of Philosophers of Process, interest in American Pragmatism - particularly Peirce and Dewey - has continued to grow. In addition, there is another group whose interest is more straightforwardly metaphysical. The interests of this group tend toward the works of Whitehead, Hartshorne, and sometimes Bergson and James. Between these two...

Dewey's Empirical Theory of Knowledge and Reality: A Reappraisal of the Collapse
ISBN: 9780826513625 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The ongoing revival of interest in the work of American philosopher and pragmatist John Dewey has given rise to a burgeoning flow of commentaries, critical editions, and reevaluations of Dewey's writings. While previous studies of Dewey's work have taken either a historical or a topical focus, Shook offers an innovative, organic approach to understanding Dewey and eloquently shows that Dewey's instrumentalism grew seamlessly out of his idealism. He argues that most current scholarship operates under a mistaken impression of Dewey's early philosophical positions and convincingly demonstrates a...

American Pragmatism and Democratic Faith
ISBN: 9780875803791 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Tracing the history of a salient idea in American political thought, this book elucidates the assumptions underlying participatory democracy.

From Cause to Causation: A Peircean Perspective
ISBN: 9781402009761 / Angielski / Twarda / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From Cause to Causation presents both a critical analysis of C.S. Peirce's conception of causation, and a novel approach to causation, based upon the semeiotic of Peirce.
The book begins with a review of the history of causation, and with a critical discussion of contemporary theories of the concept of cause'. The author uncovers a number of inadequacies in the received views of causation, and discusses their historical roots. He makes a distinction between "causality," which is the relation between cause and effect, and causation, which is the production of a certain...

How to Think about Meaning
ISBN: 9781402058561 / Angielski / Twarda / 285 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. According to the dominant theory of meaning, truth-conditional semantics, to explain the meaning of a statement is to specify the conditions necessary and sufficient for its truth. Classical truth-conditional semantics is coming under increasing attack, however, from contextualists and inferentialists, who agree that meaning is located in the mind. How to Think about Meaning develops an even more radical mentalist semantics, which it does by shifting the object of semantic inquiry. Whereas for classical semantics the object of analysis is an abstract sentence or utterance...

Pragmatism
ISBN: 9781412900577 / Angielski / Twarda / 1048 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The dramatic resurgence of American Pragmatism was one of the most important intellectual developments in the Twentieth Century. As the influence of this revitalised movement continues to spread across a variety of disciplines ranging from law to literary theory, the time is ripe for a considered reassessment of both its origins in the works of Charles Peirce, William James and John Dewey and its later revival in the hands of thinkers such as Richard Rorty and Hilary Putnam.
This three-volume collection gathers together the necessary material for just such an 'assessment'. As... The dramatic resurgence of American Pragmatism was one of the most important intellectual developments in the Twentieth Century. As the influence of t...

The Philosophy of the Present
ISBN: 9781573929486 / Angielski / Miękka / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. George Herbert Mead (1863-1931) had a powerful influence on the development of American pragmatism in the twentieth century. He also had a strong impact on the social sciences. This classic book represents Mead's philosophy of experience, so central to his outlook.
The present as unique experience is the focus of this deep analysis of the basic structure of temporality and consciousness. Mead emphasizes the novel character of both the present and the past. Though science is predicated on the assumption that the present is predictable based on a thorough knowledge of the past, the...

The Form of Information in Science: Analysis of an Immunology Sublanguage
ISBN: 9789027725165 / Angielski / Twarda / 589 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. DOES DISCOURSE HAVE A 'STRUCTURE'? HARRIS'S REVOLUTION IN LINGUISTICS As a freshman back in 1947 I discovered that within the various academic divisions and subdivisions of the University of Pennsylvania there existed a something (it was not a Department, but a piece of the Anthropology Department) called 'Linguistic Analysis'. I was an untalented but enthusiastic student of Greek and a slightly more talented student of German, as well as the son of a translator, so the idea of 'Linguistic Analysis' attracted me, sight unseen, and I signed up for a course. It turned out that 'Linguistic...

ISBN: 9780809308354 / Angielski / Twarda / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. William James, remarking in 1909 on the differences among the three leading spokesmen for pragmatismhimself, F. C. S. Schiller, and John Deweysaid that Schiller s views were essentially psychological, his own, epistemological, whereas Dewey s panorama is the widest of the three. The two main subjects of Dewey s essays at this time are also two of the most fundamental and persistent philosophical questions: the nature of knowledge and the meaning of truth. Dewey s distinctive analysis is concentrated chiefly in seven essays, in a long, significant, and previously almost unknown work entitled...
