Описание: Knowledge and its Limits presents a systematic new conception of knowledge as a kind of mental state. Williamson casts light on many philosophical problems: scepticism, evidence, probability and assertion, realism and anti-realism, and the limits of what can be known. The result is a new way of doing epistemology, and a notable contribution also to the philosophy of mind.

Описание: Science fiction is more than mere entertainment. Historian H. Bruce Franklin defines it as "the literature which, growing with science and technology, evaluates it and relates it meaningfully to the rest of human existence. " Indeed, science fiction is increasingly converging with science fact.

Описание: Plato regarded knowledge as a true belief well supported by evidence. Philosophers believe that Plato`s view was disproved by Edmund Gettier in 1963. But - this book argues - philosophers do not yet understand Gettier`s result, let alone knowledge. A new approach is proposed: in a sense, Plato can now embrace Gettier.

Описание: The sensitivity principle is a compelling idea in epistemology and is typically characterized as a necessary condition for knowledge. This collection of thirteen new essays constitutes a state-of-the-art discussion of this important principle. Some of the essays build on and strengthen sensitivity-based accounts of knowledge and offer novel defences of those accounts. Others present original objections to sensitivity-based accounts (objections that must be taken seriously even by those who defend enhanced versions of sensitivity) and offer comprehensive analysis and discussion of sensitivity's virtues and problems. The resulting collection will stimulate new debate about the sensitivity principle and will be of great interest and value to scholars and advanced students of epistemology.

Along the way, he provides original accounts of intentionality, sense perception and perceptual knowledge, the analytic-synthetic distinction, the nature of logic, and the a priori.

Описание:

A Critical Introduction to the Metaphysics of Modality examines the eight main contemporary theories of possibility behind a central metaphysical topic. Covering modal skepticism, modal expressivism, modalism, modal realism, ersatzism, modal fictionalism, modal agnosticism, and the new modal actualism, this comprehensive introduction to modality places contemporary debates in an historical context.

Beginning with a historical overview, Andrea Borghini discusses Parmenides and Zeno; looks at how central Medieval authors such as Aquinas, and Buridan prepared the ground for the Early Modern radical views of Leibniz, Spinoza, and Hume and discusses advancements in semantics in the later-half of the twentieth century a resulted in the rise of modal metaphysics, the branch characterizing the past few decades of philosophical reflection. Framing the debate according to three main perspectives - logical, epistemic, metaphysical- Borghini provides the basic concepts and terms required to discuss modality.

With suggestions of further reading and end-of-chapter study questions, A Critical Introduction to the Metaphysics of Modality is an up-to-date resource for students working in contemporary metaphysics seeking a better understanding of this crucial topic.

Описание: Hume es conocido por lugares comunes, como la sujecion de la razon a las pasiones, la fuerza del sentimiento moral, o interpretaciones lejanas a sus fuentes. Sentencias sobre el placer o la imposibilidad de establecer una moral (deber ser) a partir de los hechos se presentan sin una adecuada base textual y contextual que facilite la comprension del caracter polemico o ironico de muchos pasajes. Esta obra intenta recuperar una imagen coherente de la propuesta etica de David Hume, considerando estos distintos factores. El primer capitulo pretende dar un marco general de comprension del pensamiento humeano. Los seis siguientes presentan sus argumentaciones sobre nuestra naturaleza egoista a la vez que «simpatetica»; los limites de la razon para fundamentar la moral, y tambien sus alcances para evaluar la utilidad y establecer leyes que la custodien; se profundiza en su aversion a las instituciones eligiosas como guias de la conducta humana y se evalua su consideracion del bien a partir del placer y la utilidad.

Описание:

Why is understanding causation so important in philosophy and the sciences? Should causation be defined in terms of probability? Whilst causation plays a major role in theories and concepts of medicine, little attempt has been made to connect causation and probability with medicine itself.

Описание: In this wholly original study, Josep Corbi asks how one should relate to a certain kind of human suffering, namely, the harm that people cause one another. Relying upon real life examples of human suffering--including torture, genocide, and warfare--as opposed to thought experiments, Corbi proposes a novel approach to self-knowledge that runs counter to standard Kantian approaches to morality.
