Описание: Truth - Meaning - Reality presents a broad and unified deflationism that encompasses language, thought, knowledge, and reality. Horwich`s story begins with his minimalist view of truth - paving the way to an account of meaning as use. The fourteen essays constitute a coherent and complete expression of this three-pronged philosophy.

Описание:
Pushing back against the contemporary myth that freedom from oppression is freedom of choice, Frank Ruda resuscitates a fundamental lesson from the history of philosophical rationalism: a proper concept of freedom can arise only from a defense of absolute necessity, utter determinism, and predestination.
Abolishing Freedom demonstrates how the greatest philosophers of the rationalist tradition and even their theological predecessors—Luther, Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Freud—defended not only freedom but also predestination and divine providence. By systematically investigating this mostly overlooked and seemingly paradoxical fact, Ruda demonstrates how real freedom conceptually presupposes the assumption that the worst has always already happened; in short, fatalism. In this brisk and witty interrogation of freedom, Ruda argues that only rationalist fatalism can cure the contemporary sickness whose paradoxical name today is freedom.

Описание:
As one of the premier historical thinkers of his generation, J?rn R?sen has made enormous contributions to the methods and theoretical framework of history as it is practiced today. In Evidence and Meaning, R?sen surveys the seismic changes that have shaped the historical profession over the last half-century, while offering a clear, economical account of his theory of history. To traditional historiography R?sen brings theoretical insights from philosophy, narrative theory, cultural studies, and the social sciences, developing an intricate but robust model of “historical thinking” as both a cognitive discipline and a cultural practice—one that is susceptible neither to na?ve empiricism nor radical relativism.

Описание:
This monograph is a new interpretation of Kant's temporal conception of the causality of the freedom of the will. The interpretation is based on an analysis of Kant's primary conception of an action, viz., as a causal consequence of the will. The analysis in turn is based on H. P. Grice's causal theory of perception and on P. F. Strawson's modification of the theory.
The monograph rejects the customary assumption that Kant's maxim of an action is a causal determination of the action. It assumes instead that the maxim is definitive of the action, and since its main thesis is that an action for Kant is to be primarily understood as an effect of the will, it concludes that the maxim of an action can only be its logical determination.
Kant's temporal conception of the causality of free will is confronted not only by contemporary philosophical conceptions of causality, but by Kant's own complementary theory of causality, in the Second Analogy of Experience. According to this latter conception, causality is a natural relation among physical and psychological objects, and is therefore a temporal relation among them. Faced with this conflict, Kant scholars like Allen W. Wood either reject Kant's temporal conception of causality or like Henry E. Allison accept it, but only in an anodyne form. Both camps, however, make the aforementioned assumption that Kant's maxim of an action is a causal determination of the action. The monograph, rejecting the assumption, belongs to neither camp.

Описание: Before Machiavelli, political freedom was approached as a problem of the best distribution of the functions of ruler and ruled. For Machiavelli, the possibility of instituting the political form is conditioned by the possibility of changing it in an event of political revolution.

Описание: This book rejects the premise that a theory of freedom is fundamentally a theory of the metaphysics of constraint and, instead, lays out a political conception of freedom that is closely aligned with questions of social identity, self-development in contexts of intimate relationships, and social solidarity.

Описание:
In Theosemiotic, Michael Raposa uses Charles Peirce's theory of semiotic to rethink certain issues in contemporary philosophical theology and the philosophy of religion. Raposa sketches a history that links Peirce's thought to that of earlier figures (such as Augustine, Duns Scotus, Ignatius of Loyola, John Poinsot, Jonathan Edwards, and Ralph Waldo Emerson), some of Peirce's contemporaries (especially William James and Josiah Royce), and later thinkers and developments (most notably, H. Richard Niebuhr, Simone Weil, and Gustavo Gutierrez). At the same time, Raposa distances Peirce's thought from that of contemporary neo-pragmatist philosophers and instead draws him more closely to the often-ignored Edwards and Royce.
Drawing on Peirce's ideas, Raposa develops a semiotic conception of persons/selves and of community by analyzing the role that acts of attention play in shaping human inferences and perception, while also exploring the relationship between attention, volition, and love. Raposa's central Peircean presuppositions are that all human experience takes the form of semiosis and that the universe is "perfused" with signs. Theology is portrayed here in its manifestations as inquiry, therapy, and praxis. By drawing on both Peirce's logic of vagueness and his logic of relations, Raposa makes sense out of how we talk about the nature and reality of God, and also about the relationship between different religious communities. An exploration of what Peirce meant by "musement" illuminates the nature and purpose of prayer. Theosemiotic is portrayed here as a form of religious naturalism, broadly conceived. At the same time, the potential links between any philosophical theology conceived as theosemiotic and liberation theology are carefully exposed.
