Book excerpt: This volume collects the material of four books and more than a dozen essays together to offer a panorama of Rescher's views on some of the key issues of the field, and to convey a sense of the procedural ways and means by which Rescher thinks that philosophical deliberations can serve to shed some instructive light on such ever-controversial matters. To think constructively in this domain, Rescher calls for implementing a quantitative approach from a moral perspective, and that neither the measurable quantities not the intangible values of the situation can be overlooked in a cogent assessment of the issues.

Download or read book Studies in Leibniz's Cosmology written by Nicholas Rescher and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leibniz's optimalistic cosmology is one of the most controversial--and least appreciated--sectors of his philosophical system. How can contingency figure in a context where all truth is seen as analytic? Why should the best of possibilities be realized? And how can omni-necessitation be averted if an omni-benevolent deity must create the best possible world? Moreover, how can this supposedly best of possible worlds contain so much suffering and evil? Then too, how can there be a best, anyway, seeing that anything can be improved upon? And how can an imperfect creature of limited intelligence possibly hope to fathom such cosmic mysteries? All these questions convey objections to Leibnizian ideas that have been made repeatedly over many years. In actual fact, however, Leibniz anticipated them all. The aim of the present book is to lend plausibility to how he set about it.

Download or read book Studies in Metaphysical Optimalism written by Nicholas Rescher and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unfolds a line of thought that runs as follows: A universe in which intelligent beings can evolve and thrive through processes of natural selection must, in substantial measure, be so constituted as though an intelligent agent or agency had designed it. If a world is to allow intelligent beings to emerge by natural processes, then its mode of operation must itself exhibit the definitive characteristics of an as-if-designed manifold of natural process. Because intelligence itself will figure at or near the top of the value-scale of an intelligent being, it is evident that any universe created by an intelligent agent or agency is bound to prioritize the needs and interests of intelligent agents. Its arrangements will accordingly conduce towards an intelligence-geared optimalism that envisions a nature whose operations foster the realization of optimal conditions for the functioning of intelligence. The world's intelligibility should accordingly occasion no surprise once one recognizes that intelligent beings exist within it.
