Описание:
"Appiah is a writer and thinker of remarkable range... He] has packed into this short book an impressive amount of original reflection... A rich and illuminating book." --Thomas Nagel, New York Review of Books
Idealization is a fundamental feature of human thought. We build simplified models to make sense of the world, and life is a constant adjustment between the models we make and the realities we encounter. Our beliefs, desires, and sense of justice are bound up with these ideals, and we proceed "as if" our representations were true, while knowing they are not. In this elegant and original meditation, Kwame Anthony Appiah suggests that this instinct to idealize is not dangerous or distracting so much as it is necessary. As If explores how strategic untruth plays a critical role in far-flung areas of inquiry: decision theory, psychology, natural science, and political philosophy. A polymath who writes with mainstream clarity, Appiah defends the centrality of the imagination not just in the arts but in science, morality, and everyday life.
"Appiah is the rare public intellectual who is also a first-rate analytic philosopher, and the characteristic virtues associated with each of these identities are very much in evidence throughout the book." --Thomas Kelly, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

Описание:
The world is filled with people who have good or even great intentions about the things they would like to do and who they would like to become. But good intentions are never enough to change your life. Overweight people have good intentions about losing weight. Unemployed people have good intentions about getting a job. A cheating husband or wife have good intentions about quitting the affair. Yet for all of these good intentions, these individuals are still where they are; while hoping to get to where they desire to be, all the while wondering how to get out of the rut. The answer is in moving from good intentions to Intentional living. In Joshua Chapter one verse 8, God tells Joshua "If you observe to DO whatsoever I have commanded you, then you shall make your way prosperous and have good success." / DESIRE / DECISION/ DELIBERATE ACTION/ DISCIPLINE.

Описание: W. E. B. Du Bois never felt so at home as when he was a student in Berlin. Germany was the first place white people had treated him as an equal. But anti-Semitism was prevalent, and Du Bois` challenge, says Kwame Anthony Appiah, was to take the best of German intellectual life without its parochialism--to steal the fire without getting burned.
