Ideas Pertaining to a Pure Phenomenology and to a Phenomenological Philosophy: Second Book Studies in the Phenomenology of Constitution
ISBN: 9780792307136 / Angielski / Miękka / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) As is made plain in the critical apparatus and editorial matter appended to the original German publication of Hussed's Ideas II, I this is a text with a history. It underwent revision after revision, spanning almost 20 years in one of the most fertile periods of the philosopher's life. The book owes its form to the work of many hands, and its unity is one that has been imposed on it. Yet there is nothing here that cannot be traced back to Hussed himself. Indeed, the final" clean copy" for publication, prepared by an assistant, was completely reviewed by the master three times and emended by...

The Philosophy of Right and Left: Incongruent Counterparts and the Nature of Space
ISBN: 9780792308447 / Angielski / Twarda / 373 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Incongruent counterparts are objects that are perfectly similar except for being mirror images of each other, such as left and right human hands. Immanuel Kant was the first great thinker to point out the philosophical significance of such objects. He called them "counter- parts" because they are similar in nearly every way, "incongruent" because, despite their similarity, one could never be put in the place of the other. Three important discussions of incongruent counterparts occur in Kant's writings. The first is an article published in 1768, 'On the First Ground of the Distinction of...

Newton's Physics and the Conceptual Structure of the Scientific Revolution
ISBN: 9780792310549 / Angielski / Twarda / 588 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Three events, which happened all within the same week some ten years ago, set me on the track which the book describes. The first was a reading of Emile Meyerson works in the course of a prolonged research on Einstein's relativity theory, which sent me back to Meyerson's Ident ity and Reality, where I read and reread the striking chapter on "Ir rationality." In my earlier researches into the origins of French Conven tionalism I came to know similar views, all apparently deriving from Emile Boutroux's doctoral thesis of 1874 De fa contingence des lois de la nature and his notes of the 1892-3...

Explanation in the Sciences
ISBN: 9780792311294 / Angielski / Twarda / 623 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Emile Meyerson's writings on the philosophy of science are a rich source of ideas and information concerning many philosophical and historical aspects of the development of modem science. Meyerson's works are not widely read or cited today by philosophers or even philosophers of science, in part because they have long been out of print and are often not available even in research libraries. There are additional chevaux de rise for all but the hardiest scholars: Meyerson's books are written in French (and do not all exist in English versions) and deal with the subject matter of science -...

Existence and Explanation: Essays Presented in Honor of Karel Lambert
ISBN: 9780792312529 / Angielski / Twarda / 247 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This collection of essays is dedicated to 'Joe' Karel Lambert. The contributors are all personally affected to Joe in some way or other, but they are definitely not the only ones. Whatever excuses there are - there are some -, the editors apologize to whomever they have neglected. But even so the collection displays how influential Karel Lambert has been, personally and through his teaching and his writings. The display is in alphabetical order - with one exception: Bas van Fraassen, being about the earliest student of Karel Lambert, opens the collection with some reminiscences. Naturally,...

Methodological Variance: Essays in Epistemological Ontology and the Methodology of Science
ISBN: 9780792312635 / Angielski / Twarda / 431 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) For a philosopher with an abiding interest in the nature of objective knowledge systems in science, what could be more important than trying to think in terms of those very subjects of such knowledge to which men like Galileo, Newton, Max Planck, Einstein and others devoted their entire lifetimes? In certain respects, these systems and their structures may not be beyond the grasp of a linguistic conception of science, and scientific change, which men of science and philosophy have advocated in various forms in recent times. But certainly it is wrong-headed to think that one's conception of...

Kant's Philosophy of Mathematics: Modern Essays
ISBN: 9780792314950 / Angielski / Twarda / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Kant's views about mathematics were controversial in his own time, and they have inspired or infuriated thinkers ever since. Though specific Kantian doctrines fell into disrepute earlier in this century, the past twenty-five years have seen a surge of interest in and respect for Kant's philosophy of mathematics among both Kant scholars and philosophers of mathematics.
The present volume includes the classic papers from the 1960s and 1970s which spared this renaissance of interest, together with updated postscripts by their authors. It also includes the most important recent work on... Kant's views about mathematics were controversial in his own time, and they have inspired or infuriated thinkers ever since.

The Invention of Physical Science: Intersections of Mathematics, Theology and Natural Philosophy Since the Seventeenth Century Essays in Honor of Erwi
ISBN: 9780792317531 / Angielski / Twarda / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Modern physical science is constituted by specialized scientific fields rooted in experimental laboratory work and in rational and mathematical representations. Contemporary scientific explanation is rigorously differentiated from religious interpretation, although, to be sure, scientists sometimes do the philosophical work of interpreting the metaphysics of space, time, and matter. However, it is rare that either theologians or philosophers convincingly claim that they are doing the scientific work of physical scientists and mathematicians.

Hegel and Newtonianism
ISBN: 9780792322023 / Angielski / Twarda / 793 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) It could certainly be argued that the way in which Hegel criticizes Newton in the Dissertation, the Philosophy of Nature and the lectures on the History of Philosophy, has done more than anything else to prejudice his own reputation. At first sight, what we seem to have here is little more than the contrast between the tested accomplishments of the founding father of modern science, and the random remarks of a confused and somewhat disgruntled philosopher; and if we are persuaded to concede that it may perhaps be something more than this - between the work of a clearsighted mathematician and...

Maximum Entropy and Bayesian Methods
ISBN: 9780792322801 / Angielski / Twarda / 450 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Twelfth International Workshop on Maximum Entropy and Bayesian Methods in Sciences and Engineering (MaxEnt 92) was held in Paris, France, at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), July 19-24, 1992. It is important to note that, since its creation in 1980 by some of the researchers of the physics department at the Wyoming University in Laramie, this was the second time that it took place in Europe, the first time was in 1988 in Cambridge. The two specificities of MaxEnt workshops are their spontaneous and informal charac- ters which give the participants the possibility...

The ongoing debates reflect these concerns quite clearly namely that metaphors are judged on the basis of supposed dangers they pose and opportunities they offer. These are the criteria of evaluation that are obviously dependent on the context in which the transfer of meaning occurs. Our fundamental concern is indeed the transfer itself its prospects and its limits. Looking at possible functions of metaphors is one approach to under standing...
