Book Synopsis Trying Without Willing by : Timothy Cleveland
Download or read book Trying Without Willing written by Timothy Cleveland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the context of a critique of volitional accounts of action based on trying, Trying Without Willing articulates a conception of intentional action based on the notion of de re intention. A central theme is that volitional theories of action based on the concept of trying presuppose dubious Cartesian assumptions about the nature of mind and mental states. There is an original account of Cartesianism which captures how even the orthodox materialist theories of action are bound by Cartesian assumptions. Articulating criticisms of contemporary volitional theories against the backdrop of this Cartesian picture provides a diagnosis of what is amiss with all these views and helps motivate a new view of the mind and its role in intentional action. This view has some affinities with the view of perception which Hilary Putnam recently articulated in his Dewey Lectures and John McDowell developed in his recent book Mind and World. This book will be of interest to professional philosophers and graduate students as well as anyone seriously interested in the philosophy of mind, the nature of intentional action, the problem of mental causation, or the influence of Cartesiansim in contemporary analytic philosophy.

Book Synopsis Nietzsche, Genealogy, Morality by : Richard Schacht
Download or read book Nietzsche, Genealogy, Morality written by Richard Schacht and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1994-06-15 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morals has become a prominent text of recent Western philosophy. An influence on psychoanalysis, antihistoricism, and poststructuralism and an abiding challenge to ethical theory, the philosopher's book addressed many of the major philosophical problems and possibilities of modernity. In this collection of essays focusing on Nietzsche's book, twenty-five philosophers offer discussions of the book's central themes and concepts. They explore such notions as ressentiment, asceticism, "slave" and "master" moralities, and what Nietzsche calls "genealogy" and its relation to other forms of inquiry in his work.
Book Synopsis Willing, Wanting, Waiting by : Richard Holton
Download or read book Willing, Wanting, Waiting written by Richard Holton and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-04-23 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Holton provides a unified account of intention, choice, weakness of will, strength of will, temptation, addiction, and freedom of the will. Drawing on recent psychological research, he argues that, rather than being the pinnacle of rationality, the central components of the will are there to compensate for our inability to make or maintain sound judgments. Choice is understood as the capacity to form intentions even in the absence of judgments of what action is best. Weakness of will is understood as the failure to maintain an intention, or more specifically, a resolution, in the face of temptation—where temptation typically involves a shift in judgment as to what is best, or in the case of addiction, a disconnection between what is judged best and what is desired. Strength of will is the corresponding ability to maintain a resolution, an ability that requires the employment of a particular faculty or skill. Finally, the experience of freedom of the will is traced to the experiences of forming intentions, and of maintaining resolutions, both of which require effortful activity from the agent.

Book Synopsis Oxford Studies in Agency and Responsibility by : David Shoemaker
Download or read book Oxford Studies in Agency and Responsibility written by David Shoemaker and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxford Studies in Agency and Responsibility is a series of volumes presenting outstanding new work on a set of connected themes, investigating such questions as: · What does it mean to be an agent? · What is the nature of moral responsibility? Of criminal responsibility? What is the relation between moral and criminal responsibility (if any)? · What is the relation between responsibility and the metaphysical issues of determinism and free will? · What do various psychological disorders tell us about agency and responsibility? · How do moral agents develop? How does this developmental story bear on questions about the nature of moral judgment and responsibility? · What do the results from neuroscience imply (if anything) for our questions about agency and responsibility? OSAR thus straddles the areas of moral philosophy and philosophy of action, but also draws from a diverse range of cross-disciplinary sources, including moral psychology, psychology proper (including experimental and developmental), philosophy of psychology, philosophy of law, legal theory, metaphysics, neuroscience, neuroethics, political philosophy, and more. It is unified by its focus on who we are as deliberators and (inter)actors, embodied practical agents negotiating (sometimes unsuccessfully) a world of moral and legal norms.

Book excerpt: Cigarette Smoking, Alcohol Drinking & Selfless Loving cause intoxication to the Heart—isn’t it sounding familiar, yet new? Why are people addicted to smoking and drinking, despite the caution-sign of “causes cancer and kills”? Looking from their perspective, that caution sign might seem negligible because they might be experiencing something more painful than “getting killed”, yet they enjoy it! And isn’t that something related to “Heart”? The author will make you experience that ‘rarely recognized yet special feeling’ through the Hearts of Karthik and Seema, which makes you think “Love can cause intoxication yet it is worth enjoying!” It’s a story that started in the early 1990s when mobile phones were not handy, Facebook was still dreaming, and WhatsApp’s dream was not yet born. Love might seem to be “a beautiful Start” of life but when the same Love is seen as a “Destiny”, in pursuit of it, life’s journey becomes memorable! What are you waiting for! Grab your copy and read to know if such memories are worth cherishing.

Download or read book We Still Here written by Marc Lamont Hill and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Offers critical insights into the whirlwind pandemic and racism have reaped . . . Politics, history, strategy, and tactics are all that our side has.” —Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author of Race for Profit “In the United States, being poor and Black makes you more likely to get sick. Being poor, Black, and sick makes you more likely to die. Your proximity to death makes you disposable.” The uprising of 2020 marked a new phase in the unfolding Movement for Black Lives. The brutal killings of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor, and countless other injustices large and small, were the match that lit the spark of the largest protest movement in US history, a historic uprising against racism and the politics of disposability that the Covid-19 pandemic lays bare. In this urgent and incisive collection of new interviews bookended by two new essays, Marc Lamont Hill critically examines the “pre-existing conditions” that have led us to this moment of crisis and upheaval, guiding us through both the perils and possibilities, and helping us imagine an abolitionist future. “Marc Lamont Hill doesn’t shy away from the difficult questions, and he is willing to tell the hard truth. In this powerful book, his insight and commitment to justice leap from every page. Read it, be informed, and feel fortified in these trying times. Hill models what Henry James called ‘perception at the pitch of passion.’” —Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., New York Times bestselling author of Begin Again “A brilliant, timely, and inspirational book . . . paints a beautiful picture of possibilities for the future.” —Tarana Burke, founder of the Me Too movement

Download or read book Faking It written by William Ian Miller and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-08-18 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the intrusive fear that we may not be what we appear to be, or worse, that we may be only what we appear to be and nothing more. It is concerned with the worry of being exposed as frauds in our profession, cads in our love lives, as less than virtuously motivated actors when we are being agreeable, charitable, or decent. Why do we so often mistrust the motives of our own deeds, thinking them fake, though the beneficiary of them gives us full credit? Much of this book deals with that self-tormenting self-consciousness. It is about roles and identity, discussing our engagement in the roles we play, our doubts about our identities amidst this flux of roles, and thus about anxieties of authenticity.
