Book Synopsis The Fate of Knowledge by : Helen E. Longino
Download or read book The Fate of Knowledge written by Helen E. Longino and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helen Longino seeks to break the current deadlock in the ongoing wars between philosophers of science and sociologists of science--academic battles founded on disagreement about the role of social forces in constructing scientific knowledge. While many philosophers of science downplay social forces, claiming that scientific knowledge is best considered as a product of cognitive processes, sociologists tend to argue that numerous noncognitive factors influence what scientists learn, how they package it, and how readily it is accepted. Underlying this disagreement, however, is a common assumption that social forces are a source of bias and irrationality. Longino challenges this assumption, arguing that social interaction actually assists us in securing firm, rationally based knowledge. This important insight allows her to develop a durable and novel account of scientific knowledge that integrates the social and cognitive. Longino begins with a detailed discussion of a wide range of contemporary thinkers who write on scientific knowledge, clarifying the philosophical points at issue. She then critically analyzes the dichotomous understanding of the rational and the social that characterizes both sides of the science studies stalemate and the social account that she sees as necessary for an epistemology of science that includes the full spectrum of cognitive processes. Throughout, her account is responsive both to the normative uses of the term knowledge and to the social conditions in which scientific knowledge is produced. Building on ideas first advanced in her influential book Science as Social Knowledge, Longino brings her account into dialogue with current work in social epistemology and science studies and shows how her critical social approach can help solve a variety of stubborn problems. While the book focuses on epistemological concerns related to the sociality of inquiry, Longino also takes up its implications for scientific pluralism. The social approach, she concludes, best allows us to retain a meaningful concept of knowledge in the face of theoretical plurality and uncertainty.
Book Synopsis Sovereignty as Value by : André Santos Campos
Download or read book Sovereignty as Value written by André Santos Campos and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sovereignty as Value is one of the first books to examine sovereignty using solely a normative approach. Through fourteen original essays, the book seeks to understand its viability in a globalized world, thus taking into account the inclusion of a language of rights, limitation and legitimacy. The authors’ focus is on whether sovereignty as a normative concept might be understood as a criterion of legitimate power and authority; as a foundational concept of public ethics applied to political and legal institutions. How should notions of legitimacy be linked with the notion of sovereignty? In what manner is sovereignty challenged by territoriality and territorial control? How does sovereignty relate to political legitimacy? Are all the forms of sovereign authority legitimate? Does the project of advancing human rights globally conflict with the logic of exclusion inherent in the classic notion of national sovereignty? These are some of the questions that will be assessed in this collective volume.
Book Synopsis Ciência, metaética e linguagem: Perspectivas wittgensteinianas by : Léo Peruzzo Júnior
Download or read book Ciência, metaética e linguagem: Perspectivas wittgensteinianas written by Léo Peruzzo Júnior and published by . This book was released on 2024-08-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O Tractatus, um conjunto de notas, muitas das quais sem qualquer relação com aquilo que o antecede ou com aquilo que é sua sequência, parece cercar o mundo e a linguagem de modo que restam apenas a sua identidade formal representada pelo simbolismo. Assim, a imagem lógica poderia representar pictorialmente o mundo, uma vez que, ao representar a realidade, ela representaria uma possibilidade de existência ou inexistência de estados de coisas. É justamente sobre essa posição que Wittgenstein afirmará: “A imagem representa uma situação possível no espaço lógico” (TLP, §37). De todo modo, o que está em jogo na filosofia de Wittgenstein não é apenas a dissolução de certas armadilhas gramaticais, mas a composição de um trabalho filosófico calcado sobre aquilo que mais profundamente nos desafia – a vida – esse estado de dar-se conta de que o mundo existe, de que o eu existe e de que posso ensinar a mosca a sair de certas armadilhas. Wittgenstein, portanto, estava interessado não apenas em resolver problemas filosóficos, mas em entender como a linguagem e o pensamento se relacionam com a nossa experiência cotidiana. Ao reconhecer isso, talvez, o filósofo aprenda que pensar é essencialmente dominar uma técnica, ou melhor, que “a filosofia é um combate ao encantamento do intelecto pelos meios da nossa linguagem” (IF, §109).
Book Synopsis Essays on Values and Practical Rationality by : António Marques
Download or read book Essays on Values and Practical Rationality written by António Marques and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays presented here are the outcome of research carried out by members of IFILNOVA (Institute for Philosophy of New University of Lisbon) in 2016. The IFILNOVA Permanent Seminar seeks to show how values are relevant to humans (both socially and individually). This seminar is the 'place' where different research will converge towards a unified viewpoint. This includes the discussion of the following questions: What is the philosophical contribution to current affairs and decisions that depend crucially on values? Can philosophy make a difference, namely by bringing practical reason to bear on these affairs and decision? And how to do it? Which are our scientific 'allies' in this enterprise; psychology, communication sciences, even sociology and history? This volume shows the connection between practical rationality and values and covers the dimensions ethics, aesthetics and politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative and fascinating look at new discoveries about the brain that challenge our ethics The rapid advance of scientific knowledge has raised ethical dilemmas that humankind has never before had to address. Questions about the moment when life technically begins and ends or about the morality of genetically designing babies are now relevant and timely. Our ever-increasing knowledge of the workings of the human brain can guide us in the formation of new moral principles in the twenty-first century. In The Ethical Brain, preeminent neuroscientist Michael S. Gazzaniga presents the emerging social and ethical issues arising out of modern-day brain science and challenges the way we look at them. Courageous and thought-provoking -- a work of enormous intelligence, insight, and importance -- this book explores the hitherto uncharted landscape where science and society intersect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive study, a renowned theologian examines the anthropological disciplines-human biology, psychology, cultural anthropology, sociology and history-for their religious implications. The result is a theological anthropology that does not derive from dogma or prejudice, but critically evaluates the findings of the disciplines. Pannenberg begins with a consideration of human beings as part of nature; moves on to focus on the human person; and then considers the social world: its culture, history and institutions. All the elements of this multi-faceted study unite in the final chapter on the relation of human beings to their history.
