  • The Moral Epistemology of Intuitionism

    Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Moral Epistemology of Intuitionism

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisCovering moral intuition, self-evidence, non-inferentiality, moral emotion and seeming states, Hossein Dabbagh defends the epistemology of moral intuitionism. His line of analysis resists the empirical challenges derived from empirical moral psychology and reveals the seeming-based account of moral intuitionism as the most tenable one. The Moral Epistemology of Intuitionism combines epistemological intuitionism with work in neuroethics to develop an account of the role that moral intuition and emotion play in moral judgment. The book culminates in a convincing argument about the value of understanding moral intuitionism in terms of intellectual seeming and perceptual experience.Trade ReviewHow does moral cognition work? And do our moral judgments ever amount to genuine knowledge? In this outstanding book, Hossein Dabbagh answers both questions: along the way, the intuitionist moral epistemology he develops shows how to resist empirically motivated moral skepticism and to vindicate intuitions as the foundation of moral knowledge. * Hanno Sauer, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Utrecht University, The Netherlands *Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction Part I: Mind 1.

  • Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Andrea Cesalpino and Renaissance Aristotelianism

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisFabrizio Baldassarri and Craig Martin's volume sheds new light on the understudied Italian Renaissance scholar, Andrea Cesalpino and the diverse fields he wrote on. Contributors cover the multiple traditions that characterize Cesalpino's complex natural philosophy and medical theories, taking in epistemology, demonology, mineralogy, and botany.By moving beyond the established influence of Aristotle's texts on his work, Andrea Cesalpino and Renaissance Aristotelianism reflects the rich influences of Platonism, alchemy, and Galenism. Cesalpino's relation to the new sciences of the 17th century are traced through his direct influences, on Galileo, botany, and blood circulation. In combining Cesalpino's reception of these traditions alongside his connections to early modern science, this book provides a vital case study of Renaissance Aristotelianism.Trade ReviewThis volume provides an engaging series of studies that set Andrea Cesalpino’s philosophical and medical writings within the context of sixteenth-century thought. They show that his allegiance to Aristotelian assumptions did not prevent him from pursuing new lines of enquiry and coming to different solutions. * David Lines, Professor of Renaissance Philosophy and Intellectual History, University of Warwick, UK *Philosopher and physician, botanist and naturalist, Andrea Cesalpino engaged in many of the most contentious natural philosophical debates of the sixteenth century. The contributors to this volume unravel his complex strands of thought, draw connections within and across his works, and reveal Cesalpino’s centrality to early modern intellectual history. * Hannah Marcus, John and Ruth Hazel Associate Professor of the Social Sciences, Harvard University, USA *Table of ContentsAndrea Cesalpino.

    Book SynopsisThis volume is a reassessment of free will and, as such, seeks to answer the question: Do humans ever act under the guidance of the will? To determine if humans have free will, Rescher first examines what exactly free will is and how it should function. While the literature on the subject of free will is vast, a good deal still remains to be done to avert obscurity and confusion. Rescher leads the reader through a conceptual web of distinctions that, taken together, provide a satisfying contribution to philosophical thought on free will in general.Rescher sharpens his highly conceptual assessment by making distinctions--between productive (or metaphysical) and moral (or motivational) freedom, free decision and free action, motivational and causal determination of choices, durational events and the instantaneous eventuations that mark their commencements and completions, and between pre-determination and precedence determination. In doing so, he also examines the role of naturTable of ContentsPrefaceIntroduction Historical and Textual Perspectives1 The Nature of Free Will2 Modes of Freedom3 Ramifications of Freedom4 Some Fallacies Regarding Free Will5 Free Will as Outside Causality But Compatible With it6 Free Will Excludes Causal Predetermination But Not Motivational Precedence Determination7 Freedom and Motivation8 Compatibilism Regained: What Free Will Excludes is Not Agent Determination But Agent-Bypassing Nature Determination9 Mind-Matter Coordination10 Does Free Will Exist?

    Book SynopsisWith a new reading of Thomas Reid on primary and secondary qualities, Christopher A. Shrock illuminates the Common Sense theory of perception. Shrock follow's Reid's lead in defending common sense philosophy against the problem of secondary qualities, which claims that our perceptions are only experiences in our brains, not of the world.Trade Review'Although the past years have seen the publication of monographs on almost every aspect of Thomas Reid's philosophy, his theory of primary and secondary qualities has not been treated in book length. Christopher Shrock closes this gap in the literature ... It is easily the most comprehensive treatment of Thomas Reid's theory of primary and secondary qualities currently available. The offered interpretation of Reid's view is convincing and, in my opinion, superior to those of Shrock's predecessors ... The book is intended as a historically adequate study of Reid's views on secondary qualities, but it also follows a genuinely systematic interest. I found the blend of these two tenets very convincing and a pleasure to read ... I wholeheartedly recommend it to every scholar interested in secondary qualities in the eighteenth century or Thomas Reid's theory of perception.' -- Hannes Ole Matthiessen, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Journal of Scottish Philosophy.

  • Understanding Nancy Understanding Modernism

    Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Understanding Nancy Understanding Modernism

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisOver the past three decades, Jean-Luc Nancy has become one of the most celebrated contemporary philosophers. His remarkably diverse body of work, which deals with such topics as post-Heideggerian ontology, Christian painting, the experience of drunkenness, heart transplants, contemporary cinema and the problem of freedom, is entirely immersed in modernity, as he puts it. Within this plural framework, art which he explicitly defines as a modern construct plays a singular role in that it is the very prism through which he explores the problems of sense and feeling in general, particularly as they relate to our experience of modernity. The contributors to Understanding Nancy, Understanding Modernism fully delve into the heretofore under-acknowledged and under-explored modernism of Nancy's writings on philosophy and the arts through close readings of his key works as well as broader essays on the relationship between his thought and aesthetic modernity. In addition to an intervieTrade ReviewThis is a stunning collection that will be a priceless resource for readers of Nancy’s work. The essays are deeply knowledgeable and together they chart remarkably clear paths through all the major features of Nancy’s world and his thinking of 'world.' * Peggy Kamuf, Professor Emerita of French and Italian and Comparative Literature, University of Southern California, USA *The texts included here demonstrate in incisive ways not only how Nancy's writings open onto understanding modernity but also how questions of modernity offer new and compelling paths for reading Nancy. It is a wonderfully impressive volume. * Philip Armstrong, Professor of Comparative Studies, The Ohio State University, USA *This volume is a timely and much-needed contribution to scholarship specifically on the critical pertinence of Jean-Luc Nancy’s thinking to modernism. What makes this volume additionally delightful is that it brings together experts on Nancy’s thought alongside up-and-coming scholars committed to advancing his thinking further into the future. * Irving Goh, Associate Professor of Literature, National University of Singapore, and author of The Reject: Community, Politics, and Religion after the Subject (2014), L’Existence Prépositionnelle (2019), and The Deconstruction of Sex (2021, with Jean-Luc Nancy) *Table of ContentsIntroduction (Cosmin Toma, University of Oxford, UK) Part I – Conceptualizing Nancy 1.“Jean-Luc Nancy’s Expectation: Rephrasing ‘Philoliterature’” (Ginette Michaud, Université de Montréal) 2. “Fort-pflanzung: The Literary Absolute’s Botanic Afterlife” (Stefanie Heine, University of Copenhagen) 3.“Back to The Muses: a Di-versation on the World and the Arts” (Nicholas Cotton-Lizotte, Princeton University / Collège Édouard-Montpetit) 4.“After Listening: Music, Musicians and Modernity” (Sarah Hickmott, Durham University) 5.“Fabula, Bucca, Humanitas: On Ego Sum” (Andrea Gyenge, University of Toronto) 6.“From Dis-Enclosure to Adoration: Literature and the Deconstruction of Christianity” (Schalk Gerber, Stellenbosch University / Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) Part II – Nancy and Aesthetics 1.“From the Abyss” (Jean-Luc Nancy, Université de Strasbourg; trans.

  • Fabricating Origins

    Equinox Publishing Ltd Fabricating Origins

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisFabricating Origins builds on a series of posts that originally appeared, in earlier forms, at the blog for Culture on the Edge. In these posts each member of the group focused on the problem of origins, examining how we repeatedly conjure up an authorized past that suits the needs of the continually changing present. Fabricating Origins presses these short studies further by inviting ten early career scholars to each work with Culture on the Edge by applying, extending, even critiquing the group, to further illustrate for readers how talk of origins in the present is so much more interesting that being preoccupied with long past origins themselves. The volume, like all books in the Working with Culture on the Edge series, is introduced and concluded by original, theoretically challenging but engaging essays. It provides a selection of ten main articles which draw on a variety of examples to make the case, followed by original commentaries on each, all of which are pithy but substantive.Although not a textbook, and while challenging for any reader unaccustomed to making the switch from origins to the discourse on origins, Fabricating Origins is especially aimed at the early career reader. The volume therefore includes an annotated set of suggested readings on how to rethink origins as the product of contemporary and always tactically useful talk and action.Table of ContentsPreface Introduction Midnight in the Study of Origins Russell T.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisKnowing God, Knowing Emptiness examines the viability of the epistemology proposed by Bernard Lonergan in his seminal work Insight, particularly with regard to its possible application in the field of interreligious dialogue. This enquiry is prompted by an awareness of the epistemological questions raised by the various dialogues taking place between different religions, and it is in light of this that Lonergan's claim to comprehensiveness in his epistemology is examined. The method adopted is that of a dialectical experiment in which Lonergan's epistemology could be tested. Lonergan claims in Insight that as his epistemology is both based on, and corresponds directly to, the structure of human cognition, it is therefore intrinsic to all instances of thought. Accordingly, he claims, it is ideally placed to mutually relate any combination of differing positions. This work seeks to test this claim by applying Lonergan's epistemological categories to Karl Rahner's Foundations of Christian Faith, and Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika. Having critically reconstructed Lonergan's position as articulated in Insight, the book does the same for both of the texts selected and then parses them on the basis of the terms laid out by Lonergan in his epistemological system. It examines whether the thought contained in these two works could be fruitfully related on the basis of Lonergan's epistemology, and what, if any, are the implications for the field of interreligious dialogue. These implications are considered both in terms of the theology of religions, and of the more recently developed comparative theology, typified by the approach taken by thinkers such as Francis X. Clooney and others. The book concludes by considering what, if any, are the possible developments that could result from the result of the attempted dialectic.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis open access book chronicles the rise of a new scientific paradigm offering novel insights into the age-old enigmas of existence. Over 300 years ago, the human mind discovered the machine code of reality: mathematics. By utilizing abstract thought systems, humans began to decode the workings of the cosmos. From this understanding, the current scientific paradigm emerged, ultimately discovering the gift of technology. Today, however, our island of knowledge is surrounded by ever longer shores of ignorance. Science appears to have hit a dead end when confronted with the nature of reality and consciousness. In this fascinating and accessible volume, James Glattfelder explores a radical paradigm shift uncovering the ontology of reality. It is found to be information-theoretic and participatory, yielding a computational and programmable universe.Table of ContentsPart I Climbing to the Summit.- Deciphering the Rules of Nature.- The Simplicity of Complexity.- Crafting Technology.- Part II The Downfall.- The Truth about Reality.- The Missing Foundations of Science.- Problems with Consciousness.- Part III A New Horizon.- So, How Can You Be Sure?.- A Universe Built of Information.- Fabricating Reality.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisOver the last four decades, John Dewey’s pragmatist philosophy has formed an intellectual core in design research, underpinning Donald Schön’s theory of reflective practice, the experiential perspective in HCI and the democratic commitments of participatory design. Taking these existing connections as a starting point, Brian Dixon explores how deeper alignments may be drawn between Dewey’s insights and contemporary design research’s concern with practice, meaning and collaboration. Chapter by chapter, a fresh intellectual approach is revealed, one which recognises the transformative power of doing, making and knowing as a force for positive change in the world. We see that, for Dewey, experience comes first. It connects us to surrounding world and the society of which we are part; good things can happen and new realities are possible—we just have to work for them. The implications for design research are vast. We are offered a new way of understanding designerly knowledge production, as well as the methodological implications of adopting Deweyan pragmatism in design research. Taken as a whole, Dewey and Design not only draws out the value of Dewey’s work for design research but also, crucially, offers a clear articulation of the value of design itself.Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgements 1.

    Book SynopsisWas ist Wirklichkeit? Welchen Zugang haben wir zu ihr in einer zunehmend medialen und digitalisierten Gesellschaft? Oder befinden wir uns mit diesen Fragen vielleicht selbst schon in einem illusionären oder imaginären Zusammenhang, weil die Realität jedem Verstehen zuvorkommt? Und: Was heißt es, mit diesen Fragen philosophisch und theologisch im gegenwärtigen Realismus-Streit angemessen umzugehen? Diesen Problemen wenden sich Markus Gabriel und Malte Dominik Krüger zu, die jeweils aus der Sicht des Neuen Realismus und der (Bild-) Hermeneutischen Theologie argumentieren und auch aufeinander Bezug nehmen. Dabei werden alte Grundfragen des philosophischen und theologischen Wirklichkeitsverständnisses neu verhandelt und in aktuellen Konzepten greifbar. Dokumentiert werden damit - einschließlich der Grußworte - die Vorträge der 1. Internationalen Bultmann-Lecture 2017 in Marburg.
