Book Synopsis Fictions of Certitude by : John S. Haller
Download or read book Fictions of Certitude written by John S. Haller and published by University Alabama Press. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The search for belief and meaning among nineteenth-century intellectuals The nineteenth century’s explosion of scientific theories and new technologies undermined many deep-seated beliefs that had long formed the basis of Western society, making it impossible for many to retain the unconditional faith of their forebears. A myriad of discoveries—including Faraday’s electromagnetic induction, Joule’s law of conservation of energy, Pasteur’s germ theory, Darwin’s and Wallace’s theories of evolution by natural selection, and Planck’s work on quantum theory—shattered conventional understandings of the world that had been dictated by traditional religious teachings and philosophical systems for centuries. Fictions of Certitude: Science, Faith, and the Search for Meaning, 1840–1920 investigates the fin de siècle search for truth and meaning in a world that had been radically transformed. John S. Haller Jr. examines the moral and philosophical journeys of nine European and American intellectuals who sought deeper understanding amid such paradigmatic upheaval. Auguste Comte, John Henry Newman, Herbert Spencer, Alfred Russel Wallace, Thomas Henry Huxley, John Fiske, William James, Lester Frank Ward, and Paul Carus all belonged to an age in which one world was passing while another world that was both astounding and threatening was rising to take its place. For Haller, what makes the work of these nine thinkers worthy of examination is how they strove in different ways to find certitude and belief in the face of an epochal sea change. Some found ways to reconceptualize a world in which God and nature coexist. For others, the challenge was to discern meaning in a world in which no higher power or purpose can be found. As explained by D. H. Meyer, “The later Victorians were perhaps the last generation among English-speaking intellectuals able to believe that man was capable of understanding his universe, just as they were the first generation collectively to suspect that he never would.”

Book Synopsis In Search of a Better World by : Karl Popper
Download or read book In Search of a Better World written by Karl Popper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I want to begin by declaring that I regard scientific knowledge as the most important kind of knowledge we have', writes Sir Karl Popper in the opening essay of this book, which collects his meditations on the real improvements science has wrought in society, in politics and in the arts in the course of the twentieth century. His subjects range from the beginnings of scientific speculation in classical Greece to the destructive effects of twentieth century totalitarianism, from major figures of the Enlightenment such as Kant and Voltaire to the role of science and self-criticism in the arts. The essays offer striking new insights into the mind of one of the greatest twentieth century philosophers.
Book Synopsis Vision and Certitude in the Age of Ockham by : Katherine Tachau
Download or read book Vision and Certitude in the Age of Ockham written by Katherine Tachau and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-07-11 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When William of Ockham lectured on Lombard’s Sentences in 1317-1319, he articulated a new theory of knowledge. Its reception by fourteenth-century scholars was, however, largely negative, for it conflicted with technical accounts of vision and with their interprations of Duns Scotus. This study begins with Roger Bacon, a major source for later scholastics’ efforts to tie a complex of semantic and optical explanations together into an account of concept formation, truth and the acquisition of certitude. After considering the challenges of Peter Olivi and Henry of Ghent, Part I concludes with a discussion of Scotus’s epistemology. Part II explores the alternative theories of Peter Aureol and William of Ockham. Part III traces the impact of Scotus, and then of Aureol, on Oxford thought in the years of Ockham’s early audience, culminating with the views of Adam Wodeham. Part IV concerns Aureol’s intellectual legacy at Paris, the introduction of Wodeham’s thought there, and Autrecourt’s controversies.
Book Synopsis Philiawisdomethics by : Pierre Emperoy Noumbissi
Download or read book Philiawisdomethics written by Pierre Emperoy Noumbissi and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instruction and education have no age. The philiawisdomethics science is a method permitting to search the arts of good life. The principle of philosophical action, of philosophical arts, reside in an analytical mind, of wondering, either of question, contrary to all acquired sciences. The philosopher does not make himself a connoisseur, but as a human being that wants to know something very well. To avoid falling in believes that have no issue, illusions and appearances, he use reason or intellect. To know himself better, he does not search truth by someone else, but through himself. To uninitiated, philosophical science is an unimportant subject, and the philosopher a schizophrener. Those that hate the philosophical arts, consider it as a simple abstract reflexion, which has no link with the visible life. From the moment that philosophy requires to situate oneself out of the world, before all self exteriorisation, it is as such a way to deny life. The real philosopher has no other interest than to learn how to get out of the world, and to live as he is not in the world, according to Emperoy. Legends, anecdotes, on anti-philosophers show that they were persons living out of the Marge of reality.
