Описание: Robert Hannas The Rational Human Condition is a five-volume book series, including: Volume 1. Preface and General Introduction, Supplementary Essays, and General Bibliography Volume 2. Deep Freedom and Real Persons: A Study in Metaphysics Volume 3. Kantian Ethics and Human Existence: A Study in Moral Philosophy Volume 4. Kant, Agnosticism, and Anarchism: A Theological-Political Treatise Volume 5. Cognition, Content, and the A Priori: A Study in the Philosophy of Mind and Knowledge The fifth volume in the series, Cognition, Content, and the A Priori, was published by Oxford University Press in 2015. So, with the present publication of the first four volumes in the series by Nova Science in 2019, all five volumes of The Rational Human Condition are now available in hard-copy and as e-books. All five books share a common aim, which is to work out a true general theory of human rationality in a thoroughly nonideal natural and social world. This philosophical enterprise is what Hanna calls rational anthropology. In the eleventh and most famous of his Theses on Feuerbach, Marx wrote that philosophers have only interpreted the world in different ways; the point is to change it. Hanna completely agrees with Marx that the ultimate aim of philosophy is to change the world, not merely interpret it. So, Marx and Hanna are both philosophical liberationists: that is, they both believe that philosophy should have radical political implications. But, beyond Marx, Hanna also thinks that the primary aim of philosophy (understood as rational anthropology) and its practices of synoptic reflection, writing, teaching, and public conversation is to change lives for the betterand ultimately, for the sake of the highest good. Then, and only then, can the human race act upon the world in the right way. The four volumes of The Rational Human Condition will therefore appeal not only to philosophers, but also to any other philosophically-minded person interested in the intellectual and practical adventure of synoptic, reflective thinking about the nature of our rational, but still ineluctably human, all-too-human lives.

Описание: Rational Powers in Action presents a conception of instrumental rationality as governing actions that are extended in time with indeterminate ends. Tenenbaum argues that previous philosophical theories in this area, in focusing on momentary snapshots of the mind of idealized agents, miss central aspects of human rationality.
Our mind has the ability to ask the question, why all this? What is the meaning or purpose of my existence on this earth? What of the existence of other people and creatures? What of the existence of the earth and the entirety of the cosmos whose expanse remains unfathomable? The human mind may be able to ask this question, but paradoxically is not able to find an answer to it. We can conceive of any number of more or less probable scenarios as an explanation for what caused the world to exist.
The book shows that, on the rational plane, there can be no proof that a given concept is the answer. The answer can only be found on the basis of individual experience.
In Part I of the book a possible explanation for the meaning of it all is derived, one that does not rely on any unproved hypotheses, ideologies or teachings. It is based on the fact that after hundreds of millions of years of the evolution of life on earth, human beings have emerged and been given the capacity for love - to experience and live love.
Love, understood not as a momentary idealisation connected to powerful emotions but as the deep awareness of being accepted and as an attitude of compassion and acceptance of all people and beings. Men and women who have experienced this love have experienced the ultimate purpose of human existence.
But also for many without this personal experience, love is one of the greatest goods they know of. It is perceived - from the psychological, philosophical as well as spiritual perspective - as one of the highest, if not the highest, values we know of.
Part II, the main section of the book, describes object-free meditation: a personal path leading to experiencing the deep meaning of life.
By describing object-free meditation from four different perspectives, the book shows that this path is independent of religious or spiritual beliefs, but by all means compatible with them as seen through its long tradition within different religions.
It is a path leading inward, to our actual selves as human beings - contained in love. Every human being holds a place within ourselves where love can be experienced as the ultimate foundation. Depending on teaching, religion or tradition, this place has been given different names. Lao Tzu terms it Wuji-nature - which is attained by means of tai chi as a spiritual path - Buddhism denominates it Buddha-nature, Christianity calls it Christ, who is born and lives within ourselves.
Different religions describe differing ways - rituals, tenets and rules of life or physical exercises - to the experience of this fundamental element. Object-free or non-object meditation is one of the oldest and most direct ways.
Part III deals with the decisive final and never-ending part of the path: integrating spiritual values into everyday life.
The text differs from other books with a similar theme in that the author has adopted a visibly open-minded attitude. The book is free from ties to a specific spiritual or religious teaching and does not impose a new ideology on the reader. It is also free from the constricting modern belief in the exclusive primacy of reason and logical thinking in approaching questions about the meaning of existence of human beings. It is founded not on dogmas and traditional assumptions but on experience. What counts is what I myself perceive and experience without and within myself. I employ my reason and my intellect but am at the same time aware of their limits.
The book is written in a universally accessible language and describes complex concepts in clearly understandable manner. The author incorporates the present knowledge of religious teachings, psychology, philosophy and astrophysics without using overly technical language.

Описание: A book with so Hegelian a title should, I suppose, be more Hegelian than this one. The position I have developed here is no longer, strictly speaking, idealist though it is perhaps more nearly idealist than anything else.

Описание: First published in 1921, this book explores the function of Reason in practical life. It considers whether there is a Rational, demonstrable, standard of values to which the actions of man and the institutions of society may be referred for judgement, and to what authority and power does it possess to influence the actual conduct of men and society.
