INTRODUCTORY REMARKS At the end ofthe 19th century, when the discipline called psychology 1 is said to have become "independent," attention began to be focused towards nominalistic philosophy from a point of view that can be called psychological.

A Philosophical Analysis of Hope
ISBN: 9781403904355 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Kant's Transcendental Imagination
ISBN: 9781403916891 / Angielski / Twarda / 331 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The role and place of transcendental psychology in Kant's Critique of Pure Reason has been a source of some contention. The acceptance of the notion of transcendental psychology in recent years has been in connection to functionalist views of the mind which has detracted from its metaphysical significance. This work presents a detailed argument for restoring transcendental psychology to a central place in the interpretation of Kant's Analytic, in the process providing a detailed response to more 'austere' analytic readings.

This is the first collection of papers devoted to Ludwig Wittgenstein's cryptic but brilliant, On Certainty .

Forms in the Abyss: A Philosophical Bridge Between Sartre and Derrida
ISBN: 9781592134397 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Forms in the Abyss" is a carefully written, complex book that seeks to essentially reconcile and "bridge" the work of Sartre and Derrida. Steve Martinot argues that Sartre set out a significant set of ethical precepts for living in - and of - the world, and Derrida threw into question the process by which one can find a truly ethical way of living. By demonstrating that there is a bridge between these two thinkers, and that one can use the critical tools provided by Derrida to arrive at Sartre's conclusions about ethics, Martinot contributes a new way of thinking about critical and social...

The Inner Touch: Archaeology of a Sensation
ISBN: 9781890951764 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Inner Touch presents the archaeology of a single sense: the sense of being sentient. Aristotle was perhaps the first to define this faculty when in his treatise On the Soul he identified a sensory power, irreducible to the five senses, by which animals perceive that they are perceiving: the simple -sense, - as he wrote, -that we are seeing and hearing.- After him, thinkers returned, time and again, to define and redefine this curious sensation. The classical Greek and Roman philosophers as well as the medieval Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin thinkers who followed them all investigated a...

Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975) has had an enormous influence on literary studies and cultural theory.

The notion of sociality in all its problematic complexity provides the red thread guiding us through this historical and...

ISBN: 9781930972049 / Angielski / Twarda / 279 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The "Sophist" sets out to explain what the sophist does by defining his art. But the sophist has no art. Plato lays out a challenging puzzle in metaphysics, the nature of philosophy, and the limitation of philosophy that is unraveled in this new and unconventional interpretation.
Here is a new translation of this important late Platonic dialogue, with a comprehensive commentary that reverses the dominant trends in the scholarship of the last fifty years. The "Sophist" is shown to be not a dry exposition of doctrine, but a rich exercise in dialectic, which reveals both the Eleatic roots of...
