Causing Actions
ISBN: 9780199252763 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Paul Pietroski presents an original philosophical theory of actions and their mental causes. We often act for reasons, deliberating and choosing among options, based on our beliefs and desires. But because bodily motions always have biochemical causes, it can seem that thinking and acting are biochemical processes. Pietroski argues that thoughts and deeds are in fact distinct from, though dependent on, underlying biochemical processes within persons.

William James at the Boundaries: Philosophy, Science, and the Geography of Knowledge
ISBN: 9780226066523 / Angielski / Twarda / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. At Columbia University in 1906, William James gave a highly confrontational speech to the American Philosophical Association (APA). He ignored the technical philosophical questions the audience had gathered to discuss and instead addressed the topic of human energy. Tramping on the rules of academic decorum, James invoked the work of amateurs, read testimonials on the benefits of yoga and alcohol, and concluded by urging his listeners to take up this psychological and physiological problem.
What was the goal of this unusual speech? Rather than an oddity, Francesca Bordogna asserts that... At Columbia University in 1906, William James gave a highly confrontational speech to the American Philosophical Association (APA). He ignored the tec...

Turning On the Mind : French Philosophers on Television

By the end of the twentieth century, more than 3,500 programs dealing with philosophy and its practitioners including Bachelard, Badiou, Foucault, Lyotard, and Levy had aired on French television. According to Tamara Chaplin, this enduring commitment to bringing the most abstract and least visual of disciplines to the French public challenges our very assumptions about the incompatibility of elite culture and mass media. Indeed, it belies the conviction that television is inevitably anti-intellectual and...

Schurmann interprets the history of Western thought and action as a series of eras governed by the rise and fall of certain dominating philosophical ideas that contained the seeds of their own destruction.

On Translation

This is the first account I have seen of the potentially positive impact of translation, that it represents... a genuinely new contribution." --Drew A. Hyland In his original philosophical exploration of translation, John Sallis shows that translating is much more than a matter of transposing one language into another. At the very heart of language, translation is operative throughout human thought and experience. Sallis approaches translation from four directions: from the dream of nontranslation, or universal translatability;... "Everyone complains about what is lost in translations.

Reading Hegel's Phenomenology
ISBN: 9780253216922 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. In Reading Hegel's Phenomenology, John Russon uses the theme of reading to clarify the methods, premises, evidence, reasoning, and conclusions developed in Hegel's seminal text. Russon's approach facilitates comparing major sections and movements of the text, and demonstrates that each section of Phenomenology of Spirit stands independently in its focus on the themes of human experience. Along the way, Russon considers the rich relevance of Hegel's philosophy to understanding other key Western philosophers, such as Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Husserl, Heidegger, and Derrida. Major themes... In Reading Hegel's Phenomenology, John Russon uses the theme of reading to clarify the methods, premises, evidence, reasoning, and conclusions deve... |

Imagination in Kant's Critique of Practical Reason
ISBN: 9780253217875 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. With particular focus on imagination, Bernard Freydberg presents a close reading of Kant's second critique, The Critique of Practical Reason. In an interpretation that is daring as well as rigorous, Freydberg reveals imagination as both its central force and the bridge that links Kant's three critiques. Freydberg's reading offers a powerful challenge to the widespread view that Kant's ethics calls for rigid, self-denying obedience. Here, to the contrary, the search for self-fulfillment becomes an enormously creative endeavor once imagination is understood as the heart of Kantian ethics....

Reshaping Reason : Toward a New Philosophy
ISBN: 9780253219367 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Reshaping Reason, John McCumber breathes new life into American philosophy. Moving past the tired divide between "analytic" and "continental" camps, he proposes new directions to unite a discipline which has become more unfocused and invisible. McCumber recommends a new set of rational tools to enable philosophers and then puts these tools to work to redefine epistemology, ontology, and ethics. Reshaping Reason explores philosophy's achievements and failures in a cold light and paves the way for the discipline to become more meaningful and relevant to society at large.

Kierkegaard's Instant: On Beginnings
ISBN: 9780253348593 / Angielski / Twarda / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. In Kierkegaard's Instant, David J. Kangas reads Kierkegaard to reveal his radical thinking about temporality. For Kierkegaard, the instant of becoming, in which everything changes in the blink of an eye, eludes recollection and anticipation. It constitutes a beginning always already at work. As Kangas shows, Kierkegaard's retrieval of the sudden quality of temporality allows him to stage a deep critique of the idealist projects of Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel. By linking Kierkegaard's thought to the tradition of Meister Eckhart, Kangas formulates the central problem of these early texts... In Kierkegaard's Instant, David J.

ISBN: 9780262532945 / Angielski / Miękka / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Countering the call by some "pro-Lacanians" for an end to the exegesis of Lacan's work -- and the dismissal by "anti-Lacanians" of Lacan as impossibly impenetrable -- Subjectivity and Otherness argues for Lacan as a "paradoxically systematic" thinker, and for the necessity of a close analysis of his texts. Lorenzo Chiesa examines, from a philosophical perspective, the evolution of the concept of subjectivity in Lacan's work, carrying out a detailed reading of the Lacanian subject in its necessary relation to otherness according to Lacan's orders of the Imaginary, the Symbolic, and...

Feminist Interpretations of Immanuel Kant
ISBN: 9780271030074 / Angielski / Miękka / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Because of his misogyny and disdain for the body, Kant has been a target of much feminist criticism. Moreover, as the epitome of eighteenth-century Enlightenment philosophy, his thought has been a focal point for feminist debate over the Enlightenment legacy--whether its conceptions of reason and progress offer tools for women's emancipation and empowerment or, rather, have contributed to the historical subordination of women in Western society. This volume presents radically divergent interpretations of Kant from feminist perspectives. Some essays see Kant as having contributed...

A comprehensive discussion of Plato's treatment of techne (technical knowledge), which shows that the final goal of Platonic philosophy is nontechnical wisdom. The Greek word "techne," typically translated as "art," but also as "craft," "skill," "expertise," "technical knowledge," and even "science," has been decisive in shaping our "technological" culture. Here David Roochnik comprehensively analyzes Plato's treatment of this crucial word. Roochnik maintains that Plato's understanding of both the goodness of techne, as well as its severe limitations and consequent need to be supplemented...

Nietzsche's Task : An Interpretation of Beyond Good and Evil
ISBN: 9780300103014 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When Nietzsche published Beyond Good and Evil in 1886, he told a friend that it was a book that would not be read properly until "around the year 2000." Now Laurence Lampert sets out to fulfill this prophecy by providing a section by section interpretation of this philosophical masterpiece that emphasizes its unity and depth as a comprehensive new teaching on nature and humanity. According to Lampert, Nietzsche begins with a critique of philosophy that is ultimately affirmative, because it shows how philosophy can arrive at a defensible ontological account of the way of all beings. Nietzsche...
