Описание: Bernard Lonergan (1904-84) is acknowledged as one of the most significant philosopher-theologians of the 20th century. Lonergan, Meaning and Method in many ways complements Andrew Beards’ previous book on Lonergan, Insight and Analysis (Bloomsbury, 2010). Andrew Beards applies Lonergan’s thought and brings it into critical dialogue and discussion with other contemporary philosophical interlocutors, principally from the analytical tradition. He also introduces themes and arguments from the continental tradition, as well as offering interpretative analysis of some central notions in Lonergan’s thought that are of interest to all who wish to understand the importance of Lonergan’s work for philosophy and Christian theology. Three of the chapters focus upon areas of fruitful exchange and debate between Lonergan’s thought and the work of three major figures in current analytical philosophy: Nancy Cartwright, Timothy Williamson and Scott Soames. The discussion also ranges across such topics as meaning theory, metaphilosophy, epistemology, philosophy of science and aesthetics.

This book presents the reader with three original philosophical/theoretical proposals.
The first essay proposes that human DNA carries a musical code that will, in turn, convey a distinctive musical symphony unique to each human being. In addition, it sets forth the possibility of reproducing DNA Musical Soundtracks capable of rendering positive donor-recipient DNA Musical Crossmatches that would significantly increase the outcome of successful tissue grafts and organ transplants.
The second essays proposes the concept of Moral as an objective reality. Where, its existence -as such- was perceived along the evolution of four distinctive sets of free willed actions that will, in turn, delineate the advancement of human conduct in accordance to a theoretical framework deemed as the universal path to moral conduct. In addition, it sets forth the possibility of gaining the academic support required to -once again-, implement moral/civics educational courses deemed essential to curtail the ongoing dissemination of moral corruption.
The third essay proposes that there are six immutable attributes foundationally intrinsic to the divine nature of a Supreme Being/God. Where, their characteristics/properties were perceived to concur with those of the six immutable qualities identified to be foundationally intrinsic to physical nature. In addition, it sets forth the possibility for leaders of the world's major religions to reach a theological consensus proclaiming these six immutable attributes to arguably conform to the divine nature of God that would, in turn, build religious tolerance and peace among all men of faith.

An anniversary edition of a classic in cognitive science, with a new introduction by the author.
When Brainstorms was published in 1978, the interdisciplinary field of cognitive science was just emerging. Daniel Dennett was a young scholar who wanted to get philosophers out of their armchairs -- and into conversations with psychologists, linguists, computer scientists. This collection of seventeen essays by Dennett offers a comprehensive theory of mind, encompassing traditional issues of consciousness and free will. Using careful arguments and ingenious thought experiments, the author exposes familiar preconceptions and hobbling intuitions. The essays are grouped into four sections: "Intentional Explanation and Attributions of Mentality"; "The Nature of Theory in Psychology"; "Objects of Consciousness and the Nature of Experience"; and "Free Will and Personhood."
This anniversary edition includes a new introduction by Dennett, "Reflections on Brainstorms after Forty Years," in which he recalls the book's original publication by Harry and Betty Stanton of Bradford Books and considers the influence and afterlife of some of the essays. For example, "Mechanism and Responsibility" was Dennett's first articulation of his concept of the intentional stance; "Are Dreams Experiences?" anticipates the major ideas in his 1991 book Consciousness Explained; and "Where Am I?" has been variously represented in a BBC documentary, a student's Javanese shadow puppet play, and a feature-length film made in the Netherlands, Victim of the Brain.

Описание: In God as Reason: Essays in Philosophical Theology, Vittorio Hosle presents a systematic exploration of the relation between theology and philosophy. In examining the problems and historical precursors of rational theology, he calls on philosophy, theology, history of science, and the history of ideas to find an interpretation of Christianity that is compatible with a genuine commitment to reason. The essays in the first part of God as Reason deal with issues of philosophical theology. Hosle sketches the challenges that a rationalist theology must face and discusses some of the central ones, such as the possibility of a teleological interpretation of nature after Darwin, the theodicy issue, freedom versus determinism, the mind-body problem, and the relation in general between religion, theology, and philosophy. In the essays of the second part, Hosle studies the historical development of philosophical approaches to the Bible, the continuity between the New Testament concept of pneuma and the concept of Geist (spirit) in German idealism, and the rationalist theologies of Anselm, Abelard, Llull, and Nicholas of Cusa, whose innovative philosophy of mathematics is the topic of one of the chapters. The book concludes with a thorough evaluation of Charles Taylor`s theory of secularization. "God as Reason makes a powerful contribution to the task of the philosophical assessment of religion and theology, and indeed to the task of arriving at a philosophically defensible account of God. Vittorio Hosle here addresses key questions concerning teleology in nature, theodicy, freedom and determinism, and the mind-body problem in essays of exemplary clarity and economy of expression that are equally informed by the full breadth of the philosophical tradition of the West and by the most important contemporary developments in both philosophy and the natural sciences." --Jennifer A. Herdt, Yale Divinity School
