Reese O: Aquinas on Metaphysics as a
Science

Aquinas on Metaphysics as a Science

The Brain, In Theory

We tend to think that everything important comes from the centre: from big cities, from established orthodoxies in the sciences and the arts, from the Establishment in all its forms. We think this because the centre tells us it is so, but it's a lie. It is only at the edges that we think, innovate and thrive. This book travels to the far frontiers of the planet, and of human culture and consciousness; to the edges of continents, of evolution, of artistic and political movements, and of life itself: from a rocky precipice in the Peloponnese where the first human set foot in Europe to an ancient Egyptian temple where monotheism was invented; from St Francis, kissing lepers' sores to the giant bird-eating mice of St Kilda. Why do we stare at sunsets? Why do we celebrate birthdays and grieve for those who are gone? Why do all adventures begin when we leave and get lost? Who has the better view of reality - the Government or the dispossessed? And what happens when we live with the knowledge that we're all teetering on the edge of the dark?

Alain Badiou's Logical Revolts

The Philosophical Militant

Dualism has a long track in philosophy. Although often overlooked, it supports much of our worldview, and lies at the center of many frontline scientific issues. This dialectic has specific phrasings in different scientific areas, but it is arguably the expression of the same conflict in diverse contexts: namely, the framework between Matter and Information, or, metaphorically, the frontier between the Territory and the Map. This book attempts to analyse this Map/Territory frontier in several quite different settings, including its relevance in the present trans-humanist projects. It tries to draw parallelisms and similarities between diverse territories (e.g. the idea of Entropy as the distance between the Map and the Territory, the dependence on deep 'hyperpriors' such as Space, Time or the 'Me/Not-Me' duality, etc). It also points at certain resonances between a number of very actual scientific problems and certain trends in oriental philosophy. This Map/Territory polarity is especially present in Medicine, and a significant part of the book addresses this polarity as it is perceived in clinical practice.The gap between the Map (disease as an entity) and the Territory (the patient’s ailment) is at the heart of most theoretical (and practical!) medical problems, and is the cause of many patient-physician misunderstandings. We cannot conceive a clinical practice without the concept of disease. But at the same time, we are all painfully aware of the inconsistencies and contradictions brought by this paradigm. The impending crisis derived from this approach, as well as some other alternative medical narratives are discussed.

“This work is a superb philosophical exegesis of the conceptual underpinnings of the disaster of the Anthropocene. Katherine Snow discloses the origin of today’s polycrisis as the bloated empowerment of a narrow rationality to know the whole, to seal reality within an enclosure that’s in principle understandable by and at the disposal of anthropos, and to embolden anthropocentrism to such an extent that it has become a demonic force on the planet.”—Eileen Crist, Associate Professor Emerita, Virginia Tech, USAThe Spinoza Controversy – a debate over the correct use and inherent limits of human reason which swept through the German world of letters around 1800 – is usually treated as an interesting historical episode which came and went like any other intellectual debate during that tumultuous time in European intellectual life. This work presents a different view of the Controversy, arguing that it was never satisfactorily resolved, and must continually return to confront the West, particularly at times when our ability to make sense of the world by declaring it to be merely a zone in which only necessity-relations are real gets put under particular pressure. The Controversy arguably returned once to the discourse after the First World War; Snow argues that it is now time to recognize that its third iteration has begun. The West’s ongoing annihilation and literal vanishing of the natural world of our direct experience, and the rapid proliferation of novel types of pseudo-worlds and even entire private rationalities, both imply the need to radically rethink the proper construction and use of the ontology of necessity, including why it should not in fact be used as – and cannot in fact coherently continue to serve us as – our primary way of understanding nature and existence. The radical critique of the ontology of necessity first offered two hundred years ago by the “losing” side of the Controversy forms a vital starting point for re-navigating the Controversy today. The stakes of the Controversy this time around are nothing less than the individual’s freedom and even survival as a full subject, and the possible unraveling of Western reason itself, which if it is allowed to happen – if the Controversy is not arbitrated differently this third time around – will have been predicted, in essence, two hundred years ago during the first appearance of this intriguing, crucial, and yet at its heart compellingly simple debate.Katherine C. Snow is an environmental philosopher and research associate at Princeton University. She received her PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 2021.

Routledge Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy

This popular coursebook offers an accessible introduction to issues in the philosophy of mind, including the mind-body problem, causal interactions between the mental and the physical, computational models of thought, and assorted -isms, including: behaviorism, dualism, eliminativism, emergentism, functionalism, materialism, neutral monism, and panpsychism.Updates to the Fifth Edition include a new chapter on AI and a revised chapter on eliminativism, externalism and extended mind. In addition, Chapter Summaries and five Discussion Questions now appear at the end of each chapter to highlight key concepts and facilitate meaningful classroom dialogues.The aim of the Fifth Edition, however, remains the same as the previous four: to offer a clear and engaging, relevant, and metaphysically grounded introduction to philosophy of mind. Philosophy majors and other advanced undergraduate students will, after finishing the book, have a solid grasp of problems central to this field and know where to turn next for the most promising avenues of further inquiry.Key Updates to the Fifth Edition<ul> <li>A chapter on Davidson's 'radical interpretation' has been replaced by a chapter on artificial intelligence, reflecting a growing interest in this area.</li> <li>New sections on 'content externalism' and the 'extended mind' have been added to the chapter on eliminativism.</li> <li>Revisions to all existing chapters, with the addition or expansion of important topics and the elimination of some less relevant material, make the book more reader-friendly without sacrificing rigor and accuracy.</li> <li>New Chapter Summaries and Discussion Questions appear after each chapter to cultivate productive student dialogue in the classroom.</li> <li>Updates to Suggested Reading lists at the end of each chapter and the Reference list at the back of the book.</li> </ul>

Edition Medienwissenschaft

In einer global vernetzten, digital durchdrungenen Welt genügt es nicht mehr, in geschlossenen Systemen zu denken. Der Blick richtet sich vielmehr auf das, was Systeme verbindet und definiert: das Spiel der Schnittstellen. Als Orte der Übertragung, Filterung, Übersetzung und Sinnbildung werden sie zu den zentralen Erkenntnisobjekten überhaupt. Zwischen Mensch und Maschine, Kultur und Technik, Sprache und Material ermöglichen sie nicht nur Austausch, sondern auch ständige Veränderung. Christian Stein führt interdisziplinäre Perspektiven aus&nbsp;Medien-, Kultur-, Technik- und Naturwissenschaften zusammen.&nbsp;So öffnet er ein neues Denken - eines, das Schnittstellen offenlegt und zu ihrer aktiven Mit- und Umgestaltung anregt.
