Описание: Larry M. Jorgensen provides a systematic reappraisal of Leibniz`s philosophy of mind. He argues that Leibniz`s theological commitments yielded a thoroughgoing naturalizing methodology, according to which the properties of an object are explicable in terms of the object`s nature, and that this led him to a fully natural theory of mind.

Описание: This book combines an analytical and critical perspective with a historical and sociological framework for the understanding of the emergence of Science Studies. It also points to fruitful lines of development for Science and Technology Studies in the future.
Описание: The series offers high-quality studies dealing with the fundamental topics of classical, phenomenological, and analytical ontology, such as metaphysics, categories, property theory, causation, natural laws, the phenomenological and scientific realism debate, truth, existence, and many others.
Описание: David Malet Armstrong (8 July 1926–13 May 2014) has been one of the most influential contemporary metaphysicians working in the analytic tradition and surely the greatest 20th century Australian philosopher. His main merit is to have reestablished metaphysics as a respectable branch of philosophy placing it at the centre of the philosophical debate, and giving it the status of an authoritative and competent interlocutor of both rational and empirical sciences. By means of a rigorously argumentative approach and a sharp prose, Armstrong has built a whole metaphysical system, that is, a comprehensive and unified picture of the fundamental structure of the world. The various chapters of the book address the key issues concerning Armstrong' view about the problem of universals, the nature of states of affairs, the ontological ground of possibility, nomic necessity, and dispositions, the truthmaker theory, and the theory of mind. This volume aims to celebrate Armstrong’s memory bringing new understanding, and hopefully stimulating more work, on his philosophy, with the conviction that it constitutes an invaluable heritage for contemporary research in metaphysics.

Описание: Particle physics studies highly complex processes which cannot be directly observed. Scientific realism claims that we are nevertheless warranted in believing that these processes really occur and that the objects involved in them really exist. This book defends a version of scientific realism, called causal realism, in the context of particle physics. The first part of the book introduces the central theses and arguments in the recent philosophical debate on scientific realism and discusses entity realism, which is the most important precursor of causal realism. It also argues against the view that the very debate on scientific realism is not worth pursuing at all. In the second part, causal realism is developed and the key distinction between two kinds of warrant for scientific claims is clarified. This distinction proves its usefulness in a case study analyzing the discovery of the neutrino. It is also shown to be effective against an influential kind of pessimism, according to which even our best present theories are likely to be replaced some day by radically distinct alternatives. The final part discusses some specific challenges posed to realism by quantum physics, such as non-locality, delayed choice and the absence of particles in relativistic quantum theories.
Описание: This book explains and defends a naturalized reading of Nietzsche`s doctrine of will to power. By providing a new interpretation of the term, Brian Lightbody argues that other aspects of Nietzsche`s philosophy, such as his ontology, epistemology and ethics become clearer and more coherent.
