Book Synopsis Leibniz: Discourse on Metaphysics by : Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra
Download or read book Leibniz: Discourse on Metaphysics written by Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Discourse on Metaphysics is one of Leibniz ́s fundamental works. Written around January 1686, it is the most accomplished systematic expression of Leibniz's philosophy in the 1680s, the period in which Leibniz's philosophy reached maturity. Leibniz's goal in the Discourse is to give a metaphysics for Christianity; that is, to provide the answers that he believes Christians should give to the basic metaphysical questions. Why does the world exist? What is the world like? What kinds of things exist? And what is the place of human beings in the world? To this purpose Leibniz discusses some of the most traditional topics of metaphysics, such as the nature of God, the purpose of God in creating the world, the nature of substance, the possibility of miracles, the nature of our knowledge, free will, and the justice behind salvation and damnation. This volume provides a new translation of the Discourse, complete with a critical introduction and a comprehensive philosophical commentary.
Book Synopsis Principles of Deleuzian Philosophy by : Kokubun Koichiro Kokubun
Download or read book Principles of Deleuzian Philosophy written by Kokubun Koichiro Kokubun and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What gives us the right to speak of a Deleuzian philosophy, a philosophy at first sight concerned solely with interpreting other philosophers and writers? Koichiro Kokubun focuses on Deleuze's method of 'free indirect discourse' to locate and explicate Deleuze's philosophy of transcendental empiricism and its constitutive limits. Working through Deleuze's confrontations with Hume, Kant, Bergson, Freud, Lacan, Foucault and Guattari, Kokubun uncovers a philosophy strongly influenced by structuralism and psychoanalysis, which had to overtake these movements because of its practical ambitions. Kokubun concludes with a radical revitalisation of the political potential of this philosophy.
Download or read book Leibniz written by Robert Merrihew Adams and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-11-12 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legendary since his own time as a universal genius, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) contributed significantly to almost every branch of learning, from mathematics to ecumenical theology. But the part of his work that is most studied today is probably his writings in metaphysics, which have been the focus of particularly lively philosophical discussion in the last twenty years or so. Leibniz's writings in metaphysics contain one of the great classic systems of modern philosophy, but the system must be pieced together from a vast and miscellaneous array of manuscripts, letters, articles, and books, in a way that makes especially strenuous demands on scholarship. This book presents an in-depth interpretation of three important parts of Leibniz's metaphysics, thoroughly grounded in the texts as well as in philosophical analysis and critique. The three areas discussed are the metaphysical part of Leibniz's philosophy of logic, his essentially theological treatment of the central issues of ontology, and his theory of substance (the theory of monads).

Book Synopsis How Could I Believe in Santa Claus? by : Gilles Vervisch
Download or read book How Could I Believe in Santa Claus? written by Gilles Vervisch and published by Max Milo. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to be yourself at a party where you don’t know anyone? (Does the self exist?) Why does Grandma put a cap and a plaid sweater on her Yorkie? (Do animals have a reason?) How could I have stayed with such a stupid guy for so long? (Do we only desire things that we consider good?) When we hear “philosophy,” we sometimes think of incomprehensible or boring books. The very names of the authors are unpronounceable: Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger. Living or dead, they often look like zombies. They are in their own world and use words that we do not always understand, like “idiosyncrasy,” “ontological,” or “transcendental.” In this book, we hope to remove these prejudices. Philosophy is not boring; it allows us to understand complex things in a simple way, and therefore it is never far from everyday life. It speaks to everyone. It is for everyone. Born in 1974, from Rouen, Gilles Vervisch is a teacher and a professor of philosophy.
Book Synopsis The Court of Reason by : Beatrix Himmelmann
Download or read book The Court of Reason written by Beatrix Himmelmann and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 2064 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Proceedings present the contributions to the 13th International Kant Congress which was held at the University of Oslo, August 6-9, 2019. The congress, which hosted speakers from more than thirty countries and five continents, was dedicated to the topic of the court of reason. The idea that reason stands before itself as a tribunal characterizes the whole of Kant's critical project. Without such a court, reason falls into conflict with itself. With such a court in place, however, it may succeed in establishing the possibility and limits of metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, law and science. The idea of reason being its own judge is not only pivotal to a proper understanding of Kant's philosophy, but can also shed light on the burgeoning fields of meta-philosophy and philosophical methodology. The 2019 Kant Congress put special emphasis on Kant's methodology, his account of conceptual critique, and the relevance of his ideas to current issues in especially political philosophy and the philosophy of law. Additional sections discussed a wide range of topics in Kant's philosophy. The Proceedings will provide anyone who is interested in exploring the variety of present-day work on Kant and Kantian themes with a wealth of fruitful inspiration.
Book Synopsis Leibniz' Doctrine of Necessary Truth by : Margaret Dauler Wilson
Download or read book Leibniz' Doctrine of Necessary Truth written by Margaret Dauler Wilson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1990. This study was first written in 1965 when interest in Leibniz was intensifying. The book looks in detail at the doctrine of necessity – that necessary truths are those derivable from the principle of identity by the substitution of definitions. It first considers views of philosophic predecessors, relating Leibniz’ doctrine to Aristotle and Hobbes among others. The second section examines the conflict between his reductionistic and formalistic views and the opposing intuitionism and anti-reductionism of Descartes and Locke. The author critically examines the theory of necessity, including Leibniz’s arguments against the views of Hobbes and Locke, concluding with distinctions between necessary and contingent truths.
Book Synopsis The Expansion of Metaphysics by : Miklos Veto
Download or read book The Expansion of Metaphysics written by Miklos Veto and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culmination of a lifetime's preoccupation with crucial human concerns too often curiously marginalized by the history of philosophy, The Expansion of Metaphysics sheds new light on freedom and the will by making the phenomenon of novelty philosophically intelligible. The a priori synthesis of Kant is joined to Judeo-Christian themes (the kenosis of Christ in the incarnation and the tzimtzum of God in the creation) in order to develop a doctrine of "superabundance" (freedom and love) and "singularity" (with the Work of Art and the Child as paradigms). Space and time are reanalyzed as structural forms of human existence as Vető guides the reader into the depths and heights of reality, climaxing in a metaphysics of good and evil.

Book Synopsis The Actual and the Possible by : Mark Sinclair
Download or read book The Actual and the Possible written by Mark Sinclair and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Actual and the Possible presents new essays by leading specialists on modality and the metaphysics of modality in the history of modern philosophy from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries. It revisits key moments in the history of modern modal doctrines, and illuminates lesser-known moments of that history. The ultimate purpose of this historical approach is to contextualise and even to offer some alternatives to dominant positions within the contemporary philosophy of modality. Hence the volume contains not only new scholarship on the early-modern doctrines of Baruch Spinoza, G. W. F. Leibniz, Christian Wolff and Immanuel Kant, but also work relating to less familiar nineteenth-century thinkers such as Alexius Meinong and Jan Lukasiewicz, together with essays on celebrated nineteenth- and twentieth-century thinkers such as G. W. F. Hegel, Martin Heidegger and Bertrand Russell, whose modal doctrines have not previously garnered the attention they deserve. The volume thus covers a variety of traditions, and its historical range extends to the end of the twentieth century, addressing the legacy of W. V. Quine's critique of modality within recent analytic philosophy.

Book Synopsis Between Kant and Hegel by : Dieter Henrich
Download or read book Between Kant and Hegel written by Dieter Henrich and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electrifying when first delivered in 1973, legendary in the years since, Dieter Henrich's lectures on German Idealism were the first contact a major German philosopher had made with an American audience since the onset of World War II. They remain one of the most eloquent explanations and interpretations of classical German philosophy and of the way it relates to the concerns of contemporary philosophy. Thanks to the editorial work of David Pacini, the lectures appear here with annotations linking them to editions of the masterworks of German philosophy as they are now available. Henrich describes the movement that led from Kant to Hegel, beginning with an interpretation of the structure and tensions of Kant's system. He locates the Kantian movement and revival of Spinoza, as sketched by F. H. Jacobi, in the intellectual conditions of the time and in the philosophical motivations of modern thought. Providing extensive analysis of the various versions of Fichte's Science of Knowledge, Henrich brings into view a constellation of problems that illuminate the accomplishments of the founders of Romanticism, Novalis and Friedrich Schlegel, and of the poet Hölderlin's original philosophy. He concludes with an interpretation of the basic design of Hegel's system.

Book Synopsis Leibniz et les puissances du langage by : Dominique Berlioz
Download or read book Leibniz et les puissances du langage written by Dominique Berlioz and published by Vrin. This book was released on 2005 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il a été longtemps difficile d'évaluer l'originalité et la nouveauté des inventions et découvertes leibniziennes touchant aux langages naturels et formels, car l'ampleur des enquêtes empiriques, la sophistication des analyses logiques sont un défi à l'historien et au philosophe. Une rencontre internationale soutenue par l'European Science Foundation, à l'Université de Rennes 1 en mars 2002, a fait systématiquement le point sur ce secteur négligé des études leibniziennes, en portant attention aussi bien à l'analyse logique du langage naturel (réduplication, propriétés individuelles) qu'à l'étude de son expressivité (métaphore, langage mystique), avec l'objectif de fournir au lecteur un outil fiable. Le langage n'est pas un domaine subalterne d'application des thèses majeures du système, mais un de ses foyers, où s'inventent les concepts les plus puissants, à l'épreuve de la contingence historique et naturelle. La modernité de Leibniz est d'avoir mis à l'épreuve la connexion intime de la logique et de la métaphysique au coeur de ce que l'humaine nature a de plus précieux et de plus fragile : l'expression des idées et des affects grâce à des traces plus ou moins évanescentes, toujours transitoires et donc frappées d'opacité. Le projet de la langue universelle a peut-être été un échec, mais de cet échec sont nées la grammaire comparée, la sémantique des langues naturelles, la logique modale, l'étude de la fonction symbolique, bref des pans entiers de la modernité langagière et linguistique.
Book Synopsis Spinoza on Knowledge and the Human Mind by : Yirmiyahu Yovel
Download or read book Spinoza on Knowledge and the Human Mind written by Yirmiyahu Yovel and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Truth, adequacy and error, the Mind-Body relation and the meaning of "having" an idea are issues still at the center of philosophical debate. Spinoza belongs to those past masters whose work always inspires renewed insights on these as on other philosophical issues. This volume revolves around Part II of Spinoza's opus magnum, the Ethics where he offers his theory of knowledge and the human mind. Stuart Hampshire writes about "Truth and Correspondence"; Alexandre Matheron discusses "Ideas of Ideas and Certainty"; Alan Donagan writes on "Language, Ideas and Reasoning"; Jonathan Bennett tackles the difficult one substance — two attributes issue, and Yirmiyahu Yovel analyzes 'common notions' and error. Papers are also presented by Jean-Luc Marion, Pierre-François Moreau, Guttorm Fløistad, Wallace I. Matson, Wim Klever, Elhanan Yakira, Marcelo Dascal, Wolfgang Bartuschat, Amihud Gilead and Filippo Mignini. This book is based on the second Jerusalem Conference (1989). Each conference in this series, and the ensuing volume, focuses on a specific 'family' of issues: the first five follow Spinoza's own division in his Ethics, and the other two deal with Spinoza's social and political theory and his life and sources. An outcome of a long-standing interest in Spinozistic thought by a group of first-rate scholars, this volume is sure to join the first one as indispensable reading for Spinoza students and scholars.
