Many masters, gurus, thinkers, scientists and philosophers have tried to convey to the world their own understandings of life, its purpose, this existence and the Universe. It is as it is.. is the final interpretation. But what can we do.. is why this book is attempted, to try to define and answer the deep questions one has. Questions, whose answers are varied largely and there always was a point of view put forward. What to take and what not to is up to the reader.. but the intention is to create clarity of the thought process. And better it further, so someone else can be enlightened or for that matter relieved with the answers to life’s difficult questions.
Book Synopsis The Themes of Quine's Philosophy by : Edward Becker
Download or read book The Themes of Quine's Philosophy written by Edward Becker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-28 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Willard Van Orman Quine's work revolutionized the fields of epistemology, semantics and ontology. At the heart of his philosophy are several interconnected doctrines: his rejection of conventionalism and of the linguistic doctrine of logical and mathematical truth, his rejection of the analytic/synthetic distinction, his thesis of the indeterminacy of translation and his thesis of the inscrutability of reference. In this book Edward Becker sets out to interpret and explain these doctrines. He offers detailed analyses of the relevant texts, discusses Quine's views on meaning, reference and knowledge, and shows how Quine's views developed over the years. He also proposes a new version of the linguistic doctrine of logical truth, and a new way of rehabilitating analyticity. His rich exploration of Quine's thought will interest all those seeking to understand and evaluate the work of one of the most important philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century.
Download or read book The Logos written by Alfonso J Fernandez and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ancient Greek philosophers acknowledged the existence of a superior logic evident everywhere in nature that could only come from the mind of a creator. They called the Creator's Mind Logos, and we can know and understand the Logos through its attributes reflected in creation. The writers of the New Testament also had understanding of the term logos. They used it to describe Jesus. The Creator's Mind is the source of all truth, valid reasoning, and law; therefore, God's Mind can also be revealed through the understanding of his truth and laws. The faculty of reasoning allows us to determine what God's truth might be. However, we often reject the use of reason in exchange for our own convenient and/or irrational truths. This rejection separates us from God and such behavior represents the equivalent of the Original Sin. This book describes the consequences that the rejection of God's truth has in the different areas and aspects of the human experience, since this truth goes beyond the limits of religion or a religious experience. The Logos: the truth . according to God's Mind! demystifies the Mind of God through the understanding of his truth, revealing a totally rational God in his role as the only real absolute truth in the universe. This idea is not widely understood or commonly discussed.

Book Synopsis Saving Truth From Paradox by : Hartry Field
Download or read book Saving Truth From Paradox written by Hartry Field and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-06 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saving Truth from Paradox is an ambitious investigation into paradoxes of truth and related issues, with occasional forays into notions such as vagueness, the nature of validity, and the Gödel incompleteness theorems. Hartry Field presents a new approach to the paradoxes and provides a systematic and detailed account of the main competing approaches. Part One examines Tarski's, Kripke>'s, and Lukasiewicz>'s theories of truth, and discusses validity and soundness, and vagueness. Part Two considers a wide range of attempts to resolve the paradoxes within classical logic. In Part Three Field turns to non-classical theories of truth that that restrict excluded middle. He shows that there are theories of this sort in which the conditionals obey many of the classical laws, and that all the semantic paradoxes (not just the simplest ones) can be handled consistently with the naive theory of truth. In Part Four, these theories are extended to the property-theoretic paradoxes and to various other paradoxes, and some issues about the understanding of the notion of validity are addressed. Extended paradoxes, involving the notion of determinate truth, are treated very thoroughly, and a number of different arguments that the theories lead to "revenge problems" are addressed. Finally, Part Five deals with dialetheic approaches to the paradoxes: approaches which, instead of restricting excluded middle, accept certain contradictions but alter classical logic so as to keep them confined to a relatively remote part of the language. Advocates of dialetheic theories have argued them to be better than theories that restrict excluded middle, for instance over issues related to the incompleteness theorems and in avoiding revenge problems. Field argues that dialetheists>' claims on behalf of their theories are quite unfounded, and indeed that on some of these issues all current versions of dialetheism do substantially worse than the best theories that restrict excluded middle.

Book Synopsis Language, Truth and Democracy by : Margit Gaffal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this volume is to investigate three fundamental issues of the new millennium: language, truth and democracy. The authors approach the themes from different philosophical perspectives. One group of authors examines the use of language and the meaning of concepts from an analytic point of view, the ontology of scientific terms and explores the nature of knowledge in general. Another group examines truth and types of relation. A third group of authors focuses on the current factors influencing our concept of democracy and its legal foundations and makes reference to moral aspects and the question of political responsibility. The chapters provide the reader with an overview of current philosophical problems and the answers to these questions will be decisive for future development.
Book Synopsis Contextualisms in Epistemology by : Elke Brendel
Download or read book Contextualisms in Epistemology written by Elke Brendel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-03-02 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contextualism has become one of the leading paradigms in contemporary epistemology. According to this view, there is no context-independent standard of knowledge, and as a result, all knowledge ascriptions are context-sensitive. Contextualists contend that their account of this analysis allows us to resolve some major epistemological problems such as skeptical paradoxes and the lottery paradox, and that it helps us explain various other linguistic data about knowledge ascriptions. The apparent ease with which contextualism seems to solve numerous epistemological quandaries has inspired the burgeoning interest in it. This comprehensive anthology collects twenty original essays and critical commentaries on different aspects of contextualism, written by leading philosophers on the topic. The editors’ introduction sketches the historical development of the contextualist movement and provides a survey and analysis of its arguments and major positions. The papers explore, inter alia, the central problems and prospects of semantic (or conversational) contextualism and its main alternative approaches such as inferential (or issue) contextualism, epistemic contextualism, and virtue contextualism. They also investigate the connections between contextualism and epistemic particularism, and between contextualism and stability accounts of knowledge. Elke Brendel is Professor of Philosophy at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. She has published numerous articles on logic, epistemology, the philosophy of science, and the philosophy of language. She is the author of Die Wahrheit über den Lügner (The Truth About the Liar, 1992), Grundzüge der Logik II – Klassen, Relationen, Zahlen (Foundations of Logic II – Sets, Relations, Numbers, with Wilhelm K. Essler, 1993), and Wahrheit und Wissen (Truth and Knowledge, 1999). Christoph Jäger is Lecturer in Philosophy at Aberdeen University, United Kingdom, and Privatdozent of Philosophy (honorary office) at the University of Leipzig, Germany. He has published numerous articles on epistemology, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of religion. Books: Selbstreferenz und Selbstbewusstsein (Self-reference and Self-knowledge, 1999), Analytische Religionsphilosophie (Analytic Philosophy of Religion, ed., 1998), Kunst und Erkenntnis (Art and Knowledge, ed., with Georg Meggle, 2004), Religion und Rationalität (Religion and Rationality, forthcoming).
Download or read book Meaning written by Betty J. Birner and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meaning addresses the fundamental question of human language interaction: what it is to mean, and how we communicate our meanings to others. Experienced textbook writer and eminent researcher Betty J. Birner gives balanced coverage to semantics and pragmatics, emphasizing interactions between the two, and discusses other fields of language study such as syntax, neurology, philosophy of language, and artificial intelligence in terms of their interfaces with linguistic meaning. Comics and diagrams appear throughout to keep the reader engaged; and end-of-chapter quizzes, data-collection exercises, and opinion questions are employed along with more traditional exercises and discussion questions. In addition, the book features copious examples from real life and current events, along with boxes describing linguistic issues in the news and interesting and accessible research on topics like swearing, politics, and animal communication. Students will emerge ready for deeper study in semantics and pragmatics – and more importantly, with an understanding of how all of these fields serve the fundamental purpose of human language: the communication of meaning. Meaning is an ideal textbook for courses in linguistic meaning that focus on both semantics and pragmatics in equal parts, with special attention on philosophical questions, related subfields of linguistics, and interfaces among these various areas. Appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate-level courses in semantics, pragmatics, and general linguistics, Meaning is essential reading for all students of linguistic meaning.
Book Synopsis History and Applications by : Ahti-Veikko Pietarinen
Download or read book History and Applications written by Ahti-Veikko Pietarinen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In three comprehensive volumes, Logic of the Future presents a full panorama of Charles S. Peirce’s most important late writings. Among the most influential American thinkers, Peirce took his existential graphs to be a significant contribution to human thought. The manuscripts from 1895–1913, with many of them being published here for the first time, testify to the richness and open-endedness of his theory of logic and its applications. They also invite us to reconsider our ordinary conceptions of reasoning as well as the conventional stories concerning the evolution of modern logic. This first volume of Logic of the Future is on the historical development, theory and application of Peirce’s graphical method and diagrammatic reasoning. It also illustrates the abundant further developments and applications Peirce envisaged existential graphs to have on the analysis of mathematics, language, meaning and mind.
Book Synopsis The New Intuitionism by : Jill Graper Hernandez

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 2004 publication of his book The Good in the Right, Robert Audi has been at the forefront of the current resurgence of interest in intuitionism - the idea that human beings have an intuitive sense of right and wrong - in ethics. The New Intuitionism brings together some of the world's most important contemporary writers from such diverse fields as metaethics, epistemology and moral psychology to explore the latest implications of, and challenges to, Audi's work. The book also includes an opening chapter that surveys the development of contemporary intuitionism and a conclusion that lays the ground for future developments and debates both written by Audi himself, making this an essential survey of this important school of ethical thought for anyone working in the field.
Download or read book Word Fire written by Allyn Ransom and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2022-12-02 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Earth Fire, Zheann Sevem learns the price of hate as she is called on to prevent rebels from finding and gaining the aid of the dragons, known as Athenque, in freeing her people, the Rys from their Med rulers. On the way, she discovers that the dragons are also rebels who have been imprisoned for centuries. She is joined in her quest by two loyal Athenque, and Estaen teaches her about the magic she thought she understood, warning her that it would be needed in her fight against the dragons. They reach the dragon’s prison too late to stop the rebels from freeing them and setting off a chain reaction that Zheann realizes may destroy her world. She races to a mountain pass where she hopes to take a stand against the forces of nature, and watches helplessly as refugees swarm to three passes hoping to save their lives while others sabotage the effort. It all comes down to a contest between Rys magic and the forces of nature. In Soul Fire, the Med and Rys who fled to the central pass begin to pull their lives together, and Zheann learns the price of love. Their world has been saved but is no longer safe. Ash falls from the sky, clouds hide the sun, and the dragons have built a rival city north of the pass. Zheann finds enemies on every side, and when she is hexed, and her daughter is abducted, she learns the price of love. Now, in Word Fire, it turns personal. Zheann rides away from all she’s been trying to build in search of her daughter, the king’s mother, and a legendary trove of books that may hold the key to stopping the dragons. On the way, she struggles to master the hex that gives her great power, but power from which she longs to be free. On the way, she makes new friends and enemies but also discovers that one of the dragons, Venkis, has been busy. They reach Jitrodek, where Zheann learns the price of freedom.
