Book Synopsis Bertrand Russell on Modality and Logical Relevance by : Jan Dejnožka
Download or read book Bertrand Russell on Modality and Logical Relevance written by Jan Dejnožka and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-13 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this volume re-examines Bertrand Russell’s views on modal logic and logical relevance, arguing that Russell does in fact accommodate modality and modal logic. The author, Jan Dejnožka, draws together Russell’s comments and perspectives from throughout his canon in order to demonstrate a coherent view on logical modality and logical relevance. To achieve this, Dejnožka explores questions including whether Russell has a possible worlds logic, Rescher’s case against Russell, Russell’s three levels of modality and the motives and origins of Russell’s theory of modality.
Book Synopsis The Spinozistic Ethics of Bertrand Russell by : Kenneth Blackwell
Download or read book The Spinozistic Ethics of Bertrand Russell written by Kenneth Blackwell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-03 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bertrand Russell’s professional philosophical reputation rests mainly on his mathematical logic and theory of knowledge. In this study, first published in 1985, however, Kenneth Blackwell considers Russell’s writings on ethics and metaethics and uncovers the conceptual unity in Russell’s normative ethic. He traces that unity to the influence of Spinoza’s central ethical concept, the ‘intellectual love of God’, and then evaluates the ethic which he terms ‘impersonal self-enlargement’. The introduction discusses the metaethical background to Russell’s ethic and the difficulties inherent in Russell’s view that ethical knowledge is not possible. The first section then examines Russell’s writings on Spinoza from 1894 to 1964, dividing them into three periods, the second part analyzes Russell’s two interpretations of the main concept, traces 'impersonal self-enlargement' in Russell’s own ethical writings, and evaluates the ethic in relation to other ethical theories and on its own merits as a ‘way of living’. This book provides a foundation for a positive re-evaluation of Russell’s status in the major philosophical field of ethics and will be welcomed by students of moral philosophy as well as those interested in Bertrand Russell’s works.

Book Synopsis Russell's Theory of Perception by : Sajahan Miah
Download or read book Russell's Theory of Perception written by Sajahan Miah and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2006-05-30 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Russell's Theory of Perception, Sajahan Miah re-examines and evaluates the development of Russell's concept of perception and the relation of perception to our knowledge of the external world. With the introduction of logical construction (in which physical objects are constructed from actual and possible sense-data) Russell's theory of perception seems to become a causal theory with phenomenalist overtones. The book argues that there is a consistency of purpose and direction which motivated Russell to introduce logical construction. The purpose was to strike a compromise between his empiricism and his realism and to establish a bridge between the objects of perception and the objects of physics and common sense.
Book Synopsis Early Analytic Philosophy and the German Philosophical Tradition by : Nikolay Milkov
Download or read book Early Analytic Philosophy and the German Philosophical Tradition written by Nikolay Milkov and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the emergence and development of early analytic philosophy and explicates the topics and concepts that were of interest to German and British philosophers. Taking into consideration a range of authors including Leibniz, Kant, Hegel, Fries, Lotze, Husserl, Moore, Russell and Wittgenstein, Nikolay Milkov shows that the same puzzles and problems were of interest within both traditions. Showing that the particular problems and concepts that exercised the early analytic philosophers logically connect with, and in many cases hinge upon, the thinking of German philosophers, Early Analytic Philosophy and the German Philosophical Tradition introduces the Anglophone world to key concepts and thinkers within German philosophical tradition and provides a much-needed revisionist historiography of early analytic philosophy. In doing so, this book shows that the issues that preoccupied the early analytic philosophy were familiar to the most renowned figures in the German philosophical tradition, and addressed by them in profoundly original and enduringly significant ways.

Book Synopsis War Crimes in Vietnam by : Bertrand Russell
Download or read book War Crimes in Vietnam written by Bertrand Russell and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2011-03-21 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this harsh and unsparing book, Bertrand Russell presents the unvarnished truth about the war in Vietnam. He argues that "To understand the war, we must understand America"-and, in doing so, we must understand that racism in the United States created a climate in which it was difficult for Americans to understand what they were doing in Vietnam. According to Russell, it was this same racism that provoked "a barbarous, chauvinist outcry when American pilots who have bombed hospitals, schools, dykes, and civilian centres are accused of committing war crimes." Even today, more than forty years later, this chauvinist moral blindness permitted John McCain to run for President effectively unchallenged when he gloried in his exploits in bombing the Vietnamese.

Book Synopsis The Later Works of John Dewey, Volume 6, 1925 - 1953 by : John Dewey
Download or read book The Later Works of John Dewey, Volume 6, 1925 - 1953 written by John Dewey and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Except for Dewey's and James H. Tufts' 1932 Ethics (Volume 7 of The Later Works), this volume brings together Dewey's writings for 1931-1932. The Great Depression presented John Dewey and the American people with a series of economic, political, and social crises in 1931 and 1932 that are reflected in most of the 86 items in this volume, even in philosophical essays such as "Human Nature." As Sidney Ratner points out in his Introduction, Dewey's interest in international peace is featured in the writings in this volume.
Book Synopsis God and the Philosophers by : Paul Edwards
Download or read book God and the Philosophers written by Paul Edwards and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This witty and learned exploration of critical views on the nature and existence of God, as expressed by major philosophers of the Western world from the medieval period to the present day, is the last work of noted philosopher Paul Edwards. In his unique trademark style, laced with erudition and acerbic humor, Edwards addresses how the concept of God has changed over the centuries, in large part due to the analyses of such skeptical thinkers as David Hume, Thomas Paine, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Bertrand Russell. A longtime critic of theistic arguments, Edwards demonstrates a masterful understanding of the ways in which the scientific revolution of the 17th century, the Enlightenment of the 18th century, the evolutionary materialism of the 19th century, and the rise of analytic and existentialist philosophies in the 20th century prepared the way for the growing role of atheism in the 21st century. This work is a tour de force - a master storyteller''s idiosyncratic evaluation of the views of dozens of Western thinkers on perennial topics in the philosophy of religion. Though not all of the philosophers discussed were nonbelievers or antireligious, they can be considered to be - like Edwards himself -"freethinkers." They pursued the cause of knowledge wherever their thinking led them, often to iconoclastic positions. Editor Timothy Madigan, who gave Edwards thoughtful feedback over the years on various drafts of this work and compiled it for publication after Edwards''s death, has written an appreciative and informative introduction.
