Reasoning about Theoretical Entities
ISBN: 9789812385673 / Angielski / Twarda / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Reductionism is one of those philosophical myths that are either enthusiastically embraced or wholeheartedly rejected. And, like all other philosophical myths, it rarely gets serious consideration. "Reasoning About Theoretical Entities" strives to give reductionism its day in court, as it were, by explicitly developing several versions of the reductionist project and assessing their merits within the framework of modern symbolic logic. Not since the days of Carnap's "Aufbau" has reductionism received such close attention (albeit in a necessarily restricted and regimented setting such as that...

The Search for a Methodology of Social Science: Durkheim, Weber, and the Nineteenth-Century Problem of Cause, Probability, and Action
ISBN: 9789048184170 / Angielski / Miękka / 255 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Stephen Turner has explored the ongms of social science in this pioneering study of two nineteenth century themes: the search for laws of human social behavior, and the accumulation and analysis of the facts of such behavior through statistical inquiry. The disputes were vigorously argued; they were over questions of method, criteria of explanation, interpretations of probability, understandings of causation as such and of historical causation in particular, and time and again over the ways of using a natural science model. From his careful elucidation of John Stuart Mill's proposals for the...

Reimagining Life: Philosophical Pessimism and the Revolution of Surrealism
ISBN: 9781611470123 / Angielski / Twarda / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Reimagining Life, Raihan Kadri presents a pioneering critical history of the epistemological and theoretical origins of the Surrealist movement and its subsequent legacy. The book contains extensive examination and new interpretations of the oft-neglected theoretical writing of Surrealists such as Louis Aragon, Antonin Artaud, Andre Breton, and Salvador Dali, in order to demonstrate how Surrealism embodied a sensibility connected to a broader lineage of philosophical pessimism--involving such figures as Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx, and Arthur Rimbaud--which Kadri argues represents a...

The Present Alone is Our Happiness, Second Edition: Conversations with Jeannie Carlier and Arnold I. Davidson
ISBN: 9780804775434 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the most influential historians of ancient philosophy of the past half-century, Pierre Hadot was adept at using ancient philosophers to illuminate the relevance of their ideas to contemporary life. This new edition of The Present Alone is Our Happiness, which has been significantly revised and expanded to include two previously untranslated essays, is an ideal introduction to some of Hadot's more scholarly work. In it, we discover that to be an Epicurean is not merely to think like one; it is to adopt a way of living where limiting desires is the condition for happiness. Being...

The Speculative Turn: Continental Materialism and Realism
ISBN: 9780980668346 / Angielski / Miękka / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Continental philosophy has entered a new period of ferment. The long deconstructionist era was followed with a period dominated by Deleuze, which has in turn evolved into a new situation still difficult to define. However, one common thread running through the new brand of continental positions is a renewed attention to materialist and realist options in philosophy. Among the leaders of the established generation, this new focus takes numerous forms. It might be hard to find many shared positions in the writings of Badiou, DeLanda, Laruelle, Latour, Stengers, and i ek, but what is missing...

Ideas That Shaped The Western World
ISBN: 9781456303785 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ideas that Shaped the Western World is based on the author's thesis that Ideas cause behavior. The fundamental beliefs an individual or a group holds greatly influence their thoughts and actions. For example, when people believed the earth was flat, they dared not venture far from land for fear of falling off into the abyss of space; and when our New England ancestors believed in witchcraft, they dutifully hanged 'witches, ' apparently without any pangs of conscience. The things people believe to be true today are equally important in their thoughts and behavior. In this easily readable book...

Selected Writings 1909–1953: Volume One
ISBN: 9789027702920 / Angielski / Miękka / 502 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. These two volumes form a full portrait of Hans Reichenbach, from the school boy and university student to the maturing and creative scholar, who was as well an immensely devoted teacher and a gifted popular writer and speaker on science and philosophy. We selected the articles for several reasons. Many of them have not pre viously been available in English; many are out of print, either in English or in German; some, especially the early ones, have been little known, and deal with subject-matters other than philosophy of science. The genesis and evolu tion of Reichenbach's ideas appeared to...

The Challenge of Relativism: Its Nature and Limits
ISBN: 9781441178855 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Relativism, the view that knowledge is relative to time, culture, group and/or individual, remains a pervasive and influential intellectual position in philosophy and throughout the humanities. Since ancient times, relativists have been viewed as villains of truth and knowledge. They have undermined optimistic explanations of how we know things and, instead, have grounded knowledge in the ever-changing world of human opinion. But is the relativists' notorious reputation justified? In this important new book Patrick Phillips investigates several varieties of relativism proposed over the...
