Taylor & Francis Ltd On Thinking and the World John McDowells Mind and
Book SynopsisJohn McDowell''s Mind and World has, since its publication in 1994, become a seminal text, putting forward many new ideas on the manner in which concepts mediate the relation between minds and the world. Yet McDowell''s ideas are not easy to comprehend. In this book Sandra Dingli both elaborates and simplifies McDowell''s ideas in order to give greater clarity to them and to assist in the understanding and appreciation of his work. Dingli selects five particular contemporary philosophical topics which McDowell deals with and investigates in detail the implications of particular points of view, analysing the current literature on each topic and drawing out shortcomings and possibilities for overcoming them. This work is, then, both a critique and complement to McDowell''s text. McDowell''s project is to dissolve a number of dualisms such as sensibility and understanding, conceptual and non conceptual content, scheme and content, and reason and nature. Dingli critically analyses eachTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; On thinking and the world; Kantian control on our thinking; Can we do without non-conceptual content?; The third dogma of empiricism; Reason and nature; Realism and anti-realism; McDowell's quietism; Bibliography; Index.

Taylor & Francis Conjunctive Explanations
Book SynopsisPhilosophers and psychologists are increasingly investigating the conditions under which multiple explanations are better in conjunction than they are individually. This book brings together leading scholars to provide an interdisciplinary and unified discussion of such âœconjunctive explanations.âThe book starts with an introductory chapter expounding the notion of conjunctive explanation and motivating a multifaceted approach to its study. The remaining chapters are divided into three parts. Part I includes chapters on âœThe Nature of Conjunctive Explanations.â Each chapter illustrates distinct ways in which explanatory multiplicity is motivated by a careful study of the nature and concept of explanation. The second part (âœReasoning About Conjunctive Explanationsâ) includes chapters on the epistemology and logic of conjunctive explanations. Here the contributors propose and evaluate various norms for reasoning correctly about and to conjunctive explanations. Part III conce

Taylor & Francis Ltd Skepticism The Basics
Book SynopsisThis book introduces students and other interested readers to the philosophical study of skepticism, a central and long-standing subject in philosophy. The first three chapters cover knowledge, providing the necessary foundation for introducing skepticism in the book''s final three chapters. Throughout, the volume addresses basic questions in these two areas, such as: What are the differences between the three types of knowledge: direct knowledge, knowledge by ability, and propositional knowledge? What is the Gettier problem and why does it resist easy solutions? Why do philosophers still talk about René Descartes' techniques for raising doubts about what we can know but have largely forgotten Descartes' attempts to answer these doubts? How do we know that we're not just brains in a vat? Is Pyrrhonian skepticismthe idea that we know absolutely nothingultimately self-refuting? With a glossary of key terms and suggesTrade Review"This is a well-written, engaging overview of contemporary epistemology with a significant discussion of types of skepticism.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Microaggressions and Philosophy
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to offer a philosophical engagement with microaggressions. It aims to provide an intersectional analysis of microaggressions that cuts across multiple dimensions of oppression and marginalization, and to engage a variety of perspectives that have been sidelined within the discipline of philosophy. The volume gathers a diverse group of contributors: philosophers of color, philosophers with disabilities, philosophers of various nationalities and ethnicities, and philosophers of several gender identities. Their unique frames of analysis articulate both how the concept of microaggressions can be used to clarify and sharpen our understanding of subtler aspects of oppression and how analysis, expansion, and reconceiving the notion of a microaggression can deepen and extend its explanatory power. The essays in the volume seek to defend microaggressions from common critiques and to explain their impact beyond the context of college students. Some of the guiding questiTrade Review"This book provides an important critique of some common conversations about micoaggressions, but it also shows us what more informed and more interesting conversations about them look like." – Stacey Goguen, Northeastern Illinois University, USA"Microaggressions and Philosophy is a bold volume whose contributions span the scope of the structural, the interpersonal, and the scientific.

Taylor & Francis The Philosophers Habitat
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1990 The Philosopher's Habitat introduces the subject by investigating a variety of the problems which are currently engaging philosophers, and which can be made intelligible to an absolute beginner. Rather than introducing philosophy by examining, in the traditional way, the writings of great philosophers, the author has inverted this procedure. The idea is that the reader will become absorbed in these dramas, will thereby come to appreciate the ways in which the stage was set by the great writers of the past, and will feel the urge to participate. Questions at the end of each chapter encourage the reader to push beyond the text. This book is a must read for students of philosophy.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Historical Value of Myths
Book SynopsisThis book explores the connection between history and mythology by engaging with myths not as allegories or falsehoods, but as representations of historical experience.Historical approaches to myth are often absent from discussions of mythology, which favour symbolic and psychological interpretations. This analysis traces certain episodes of myths' complex ancestries, from when their relationship with history could not so easily be severed, to subsequent attempts, which misunderstood myths as confused, undeveloped lenses for humanity to view the world. Drawing on the works of English philosopher R.G. Collingwood and the Romanticism movement, the book argues for the expansion of methodological approaches to myths. It explores the ways in which myths have served as clues for the history of civilization and humanity's ever-changing complexities.The Historical Value of Myths is an illuminating read for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers in the f

Taylor & Francis Philosophy through Film
Book SynopsisPhilosophy through Film, Fifth Edition uses recently released, well-received movies to explore answers to classic questions in philosophy in an approachable yet philosophically rigorous manner. Author Amy Karofsky uses one or more films in each chapter to examine one longstanding philosophical question and assess some of the best solutions to it that have been offered. The chosen movies are not mere âœadd-onsâ to an otherwise straightforward introductory text; instead, they are fully integrated into the discussion of the issues and the various positions. And a website www.xxxxxxx includes Story Lines of Films by Elapsed Time for each focus film, allowing students to quickly search and navigate all discussed movies. Finally, each chapter includes discussion questions, an annotated list of films related to the chapter topic, and two or three historically significant primary sources (which are collected together at the end of the book).Revised and expanded, chang

Taylor & Francis Ltd Critical Views of Logic
Book SynopsisThis book examines positions that challenge the Fregean logic-first view. It raises criticalquestions about logic by examining various ways in which logic may be entangled with mathematics and metaphysics.Is logic topic-neutral and general? Can we take the application of logic for granted? This book suggests that we should not be dogmatic about logic but ask similar critical questions about logic as those Kant raised about metaphysics and mathematics. It challenges the Fregean logic-first view according to which logic is fundamental and hence independent of any extra-logical considerations. Whereas Quine assimilated logic and mathematics to the theoretical parts of empirical science, the present volume explores views that stop short of his thoroughgoing holism but instead take logic to be answerable to or entangled with some particular disciplines. The contributions provide views that assign primacy to mathematical reasons, Kantian metaphysical grounds, Husserlian tranTable of ContentsIntroduction to “Critical Views of Logic” 1.
