Book Synopsis Hume's Philosophy of Belief (Routledge Revivals) by : Antony Flew
Download or read book Hume's Philosophy of Belief (Routledge Revivals) written by Antony Flew and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1961, this book considers Hume’s request to be judged solely by the acknowledged works of his maturity. It focuses on Hume’s first Inquiry in its own right as a separate book to the likes of his other works, such as the Treatise and the Dialogues, which are here only used as supplementary evidence when necessary. This approach brings out, as Hume himself quite explicitly wished to do, the important bearing of his more technical philosophy on matters of religion and of world-outlook generally: "Be a philosopher; but amidst all your philosophy, be still a man."
Book Synopsis From Mathematics to Philosophy (Routledge Revivals) by : Hao Wang
Download or read book From Mathematics to Philosophy (Routledge Revivals) written by Hao Wang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1974. Despite the tendency of contemporary analytic philosophy to put logic and mathematics at a central position, the author argues it failed to appreciate or account for their rich content. Through discussions of such mathematical concepts as number, the continuum, set, proof and mechanical procedure, the author provides an introduction to the philosophy of mathematics and an internal criticism of the then current academic philosophy. The material presented is also an illustration of a new, more general method of approach called substantial factualism which the author asserts allows for the development of a more comprehensive philosophical position by not trivialising or distorting substantial facts of human knowledge.
Book Synopsis Philosophical Investigations on Time, Space and the Continuum (Routledge Revivals) by : Franz Brentano
Download or read book Philosophical Investigations on Time, Space and the Continuum (Routledge Revivals) written by Franz Brentano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franz Brentano is recognised as one of the most important philosophers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This work, first published in English in 1988, besides being an important contribution to metaphysics in its own right, has considerable historical importance through its influence on Husserl’s views on internal time consciousness. The work is preceded by a long introduction by Stephan Körner in collaboration with Brentano’s literary executor.
Book Synopsis Development Of Mathematics Between The World Wars, The: Case Studies, Examples And Analyses by : Martina Becvarova
Download or read book Development Of Mathematics Between The World Wars, The: Case Studies, Examples And Analyses written by Martina Becvarova and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-05-14 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Development of Mathematics Between the World Wars traces the transformation of scientific life within mathematical communities during the interwar period in Central and Eastern Europe, specifically in Germany, Russia, Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. Throughout the book, in-depth mathematical analyses and examples are included for the benefit of the reader.World War I heavily affected academic life. In European countries, many talented researchers and students were killed in action and scientific activities were halted to resume only in the postwar years. However, this inhibition turned out to be a catalyst for the birth of a new generation of mathematicians, for the emergence of new ideas and theories and for the surprising creation of new and outstanding scientific schools.The final four chapters are not restricted to Central and Eastern Europe and deal with the development of mathematics between World War I and World War II. After describing the general state of mathematics at the end of the 19th century and the first third of the 20th century, three case studies dealing with selected mathematical disciplines are presented (set theory, potential theory, combinatorics), in a way accessible to a broad audience of mathematicians as well as historians of mathematics.
Book Synopsis Routledge Revivals: The Violence of Language (1990) by : Jean-Jacques Lecercle
Download or read book Routledge Revivals: The Violence of Language (1990) written by Jean-Jacques Lecercle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1990, this book argues that any theory of language constructs its ‘object’ by separating ‘relevant’ from ‘irrelevant’ phenomena — excluding the latter. This leaves a ‘remainder’ which consists of the untidy, creative part of how language is used — the essence of poetry and metaphor. Although this remainder can never be completely formalised, it must be fully recognised by any true account of language and thus this book attempts the first ‘theory of the remainder’. As such, whether it is language or the speaker who speaks is dealt with, leading to an analysis of how all speakers are ‘violently’ constrained in their use of language by social and psychological realties.
Book Synopsis Encyclopedia of Cosmology (Routledge Revivals) by : Norriss S. Hetherington
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Cosmology (Routledge Revivals) written by Norriss S. Hetherington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Cosmology, first published in 1993, recounts the history, philosophical assumptions, methodological ambiguities, and human struggles that have influenced the various responses to the basic questions of cosmology through the ages, as well as referencing important scientific theories. Just as the recognition of social conventions in other cultures can lead to a more productive perspective on our own behaviour, so too a study of the cosmologies of other times and places can enable us recognise elements of our own cosmology that might otherwise pass as inevitable developments. Apart from modern natural science, therefore, this volume incorporates brief treatments of Native American, Cave-Dweller, Chinese, Egyptian, Islamic, Megalithic, Mesopotamian, Greek, Medieval and Copernican cosmology, leading to an appreciation of cosmology as an intellectual creation, not merely a collection of facts. It is a valuable reference tool for any student or academic with an interest in the history of science and cosmology specifically.
Book Synopsis Frege, Dedekind, and Peano on the Foundations of Arithmetic (Routledge Revivals) by : Donald Gillies
Download or read book Frege, Dedekind, and Peano on the Foundations of Arithmetic (Routledge Revivals) written by Donald Gillies and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1982, this reissue contains a critical exposition of the views of Frege, Dedekind and Peano on the foundations of arithmetic. The last quarter of the 19th century witnessed a remarkable growth of interest in the foundations of arithmetic. This work analyses both the reasons for this growth of interest within both mathematics and philosophy and the ways in which this study of the foundations of arithmetic led to new insights in philosophy and striking advances in logic. This historical-critical study provides an excellent introduction to the problems of the philosophy of mathematics - problems which have wide implications for philosophy as a whole. This reissue will appeal to students of both mathematics and philosophy who wish to improve their knowledge of logic.
Book Synopsis Routledge Revivals: Gulliver and the Gentle Reader (1991) by : C J Rawson
Download or read book Routledge Revivals: Gulliver and the Gentle Reader (1991) written by C J Rawson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1991, Gulliver and the Gentle Reader critically examines the writing of Jonathan Swift. The book is predominately concerned with what Rawson coins ‘the "unofficial" energies’ which work below the surface of Swift’s conscious themes. Alongside this discussion, Rawson provides detailed studies on historical, cultural and psychological relationships, and the connections that exist between these areas and more extreme writers of the later period such as Breton, Mailer, and Yeats, as well as the connections with the writers such as his contemporary Pope, and those that followed such as Johnson, and Sterne. This book will be of interest to students of literature, as well as those researching in the area of literature.
Book Synopsis Our Knowledge of the Growth of Knowledge (Routledge Revivals) by : Peter Munz
Download or read book Our Knowledge of the Growth of Knowledge (Routledge Revivals) written by Peter Munz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-27 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Munz, a former student of both Popper and Wittgenstein, begins his comparison of the two great twentieth-century philosophers, by explaining that since the demise of positivism there have emerged, broadly speaking, two philosophical options: Wittgenstein, with the absolute relativism of his theory that meaning is a function of language games and that social configurations are determinants of knowledge; and Popper’s evolutionary epistemology – conscious knowledge is a special case of the relationship which exists between all living beings and their environments. Professor Munz examines and rejects the Wittgensteinian position. Instead, Our Knowledge of the Growth of Knowledge, first published in 1985, elaborates the potentially fruitful link between Popper’s critical rationalism and Neo-Darwinism. Read in the light of the latter, Popper’s philosophy leads to the transformation of Kant’s Transcendental Idealism into ‘Hypothetical Realism’, whilst the emphasis on the biological orientation of Popper’s thought helps to illumine some difficulties in Popper’s ‘falsificationism’.
Book Synopsis A John Donne Companion (Routledge Revivals) by : Robert H. Ray
Download or read book A John Donne Companion (Routledge Revivals) written by Robert H. Ray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 427 pages.

Book Synopsis Methodology for a New Microeconomics (Routledge Revivals) by : Lawrence A. Boland
Download or read book Methodology for a New Microeconomics (Routledge Revivals) written by Lawrence A. Boland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986, this title argues that the successful development of a new microeconomics requires a deeper understanding of methodological individualism and its role in stability analysis. Lawrence Boland expounds a critique of neoclassical models, which, he contends, often fail to include an explicit stability analysis. He demonstrates that much of the sophisticated theoretical literature over the past thirty years can be understood as ad hoc attempts to overcome the deficiencies of such models in the absence of cogent stability analyses. In conclusion, he explains the need to update the theory taught at universities, and to develop a truly individualist version of microeconomics that is consistent with the methodological principles of major neoclassical models. An important contribution to economic methodology, this work is a highly valuable resource for all students and teachers of economics at the undergraduate level.
