Cambridge Studies in Philosophy

Argues that sceptical metaphysicians employ shadows of familiar objects, while denying that the entities which cast those shadows really exist.

Most contemporary metaphysicians are sceptical about the reality of familiar objects. They prefer an ontology of the spatially tiny or temporally tiny (or both). Crawford L. Elder argues that all such attempts to 'explain away' familiar objects project downwards, onto the tiny entities, structures and features of familiar objects themselves.

Elder Crawford L.: Familiar Objects and
their Shadows

Familiar Objects and their Shadows

Introduction; 1. Two false friends of an ontology of familiar objects; 2. Conventionalism as ontological relativism; 3. Realism about material objects: persistence, persistence conditions, and natural kinds; 4. Ontological preference for the temporally small; 5. Ontological preference for microphysical causes; 6. Ontological preference for the spatially small; 7. A third false friend of familiar objects: universal mereological composition; 8. Concluding Hegelian postscript; Appendix: 'mutually interfering' dimensions of difference; Reference.

A systematic account of the nature of fiction explaining why fictions can refer to the world and state facts about it. The book offers tools to address common worries about fictions such as whether they can offer knowledge, by critically engaging with the most insightful contributions from contemporary philosophy.

Resistance to Evidence

Consciousness is an intriguing mystery, of which standard accounts all have well-known difficulties. This book develops a novel account of how consciousness is constituted by our neural structure that avoids these difficulties.

Consciousness is an intriguing mystery, of which standard accounts all have well-known difficulties. This book examines the central question about consciousness: that is, the question of how phenomenal features of our experience are related to physical features of our nervous system. Using the way in which we experience color as a central case, it develops a novel account of how consciousness is constituted by our neural structure, and so presents a new physicalist and internalist solution to the hard problem of phenomenal consciousness, with respect specifically to sensory qualia. The necessary background in philosophy and sensory neurophysiology is provided for the reader throughout. The book will appeal to a range of readers interested in the problems of consciousness.

The Neural Structure of Consciousness

This book develops a novel account of assertion in terms of its function of sharing knowledge.

This book explores the relation between assertion and knowledge sharing. It shows that assertion and knowledge sharing are intimately connected: what it takes to assert well is explained in terms of assertion's function of knowledge sharing.

A Functionalist Account of Assertion

Sharing Knowledge

"Reasons matter greatly to us in both ordinary and theoretical contexts, being connected to two fundamental normative concerns: figuring out what we should do and what attitudes to have, and understanding the duties and responsibilities that apply to us. This book introduces and critiques most of the contemporary theories of normative reasons-considerations that speak in favor of an action, belief, or emotion-to explore how they work. Artåurs Logins develops and defends a new theory: the Erotetic view of reasons, according to which normative reasons are appropriate answers to normative why questions (Why should I do this?). This theory draws on evidence of how why questions work in informal logic, language and philosophy of science. The resulting view is able to avoid the problems of previous accounts, while retaining all of their attractive features, and it also suggests exciting directions for future research. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core"--

What are reasons to do something? This study assesses and critiques the current theories of normative reasons and provides a new theory of reasons as answers to normative why-questions, both for specialists and advanced students in epistemology, metaethics and ethics.This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Asay provides a fresh and daring perspective on the age-old question 'What is truth?'.

Asay's book offers a new perspective on the age-old question 'What is truth?', one which promises to shake up contemporary views, and yet is rooted in the very origins of analytic philosophy. For all those interested in the philosophy of language, and metaphysics.

The Primitivist Theory of Truth

In this text, Joseph Mendola develops a unified moral theory that defends the hedonism of classical utilitarianism.

In Goodness and Justice, Joseph Mendola develops a unified moral theory that defends the hedonism of classical utilitarianism, while evading utilitarianism's familiar difficulties by adopting two modifications. His theory incorporates a developed form of consequentialism.

Goldberg explores the nature of linguistic knowledge communication presenting a novel argument for familiar anti-individualistic views.

In acknowledging an ineliminable social dimension to mind, language, and the epistemic categories of knowledge, justification, and rationality, this book develops fundamental links between externalism in the philosophy of mind and language, on the one hand, and externalism in epistemology, on the other.

The Routledge Philosophers

This outstanding introduction to Cavendish's philosophy explores the full span of her work. Including a chronology, glossary, and suggestions for further reading, Cavendish is an ideal starting point for anyone coming to Cavendish's philosophy for the first time.

Original, ingenuous, and heterodox the philosopher Margaret Cavendish (1661-1717) is one of the most important writers and thinkers of the seventeenth century. Almost entirely self-taught, as well as engaging deeply with the philosophical currents of her time she wrote on a rich array of topics including gender, science and manners. Her utopian novel, The Blazing World, is one of the earliest works of science fiction.In this outstanding introduction to Cavendish's philosophy Alison Peterman explores the full span of Cavendish's work. She begins by examining Cavendish's metaphysics, in particular her view that matter is divisible, sensitive and rational and that the only kind of change is motion, contrasting Cavendish's approach with that of other 'mechanical' philosophers Descartes, Hobbes, Boyle and Gassendi. Peterman then assesses Cavendish’s arguments concerning order and causation in nature, particularly her view that order can only be explained if nature is whole and that matter has ‘sense’ and ‘reason’, before turning to her theory of the human mind and perception, knowledge and scientific method. Finally, she explains and assesses Cavendish’s ethics and politics, returning to her distinction between the natural and artificial and how her moral and political views are evident in her poetry, fiction, plays and other literary writings.Including a chronology, glossary of key terms, and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter, Cavendish is an ideal starting point for anyone coming to Cavendish’s philosophy for the first time. It will also be of great interest to those studying seventeenth century philosophy, metaphysics, the history and philosophy of science, and women philosophers in early modern philosophy.

Elements in the Philosophy of Mathematics

This Element covers the first reflections on attempts to untie mathematics from its practical usage in administration, commerce, and land-surveying and discusses the first ideas to see mathematical structures as constituents underlying the physical world in the Pythagoreans.

The Edges of the World

Key areas and aspects of ancient philosophy in Greek and Indian Buddhist traditions are illuminated in this collection. Covering an extended period of time, from early (5th century BC), through Hellenism (at Cyrene), to post-Hellenistic times (up to the 7th century AD) it begins by focusing on historical themes and methods in ancient Greece and India. This sketch of historical and philosophical connections between the regions, from Classical times to post-Hellenism, sets the ground for deeper exploration between these two traditions. Attention is placed on reality and selfhood. An international team of contributors deal with topics including consciousness, personal identity and personhood. They tackle metaphysical questions about composition and material constitution of things, shedding light on the challenges Greek and Buddhist thinkers faced. Converging analyses and shared themes are identified in a substantive introduction to the collection. Key philosophical terms from ancient Greek, Latin, Sanskrit and Tibetan are included in a glossary. This is an important contribution to the growing literature in ancient comparative philosophy.

Elements in the Problems of God

This Element explores the philosophical and theological issues surrounding the Trinity, including hermeneutical and logical problems, personal pronouns, monarchy, equality, and the Greek vs. Latin filioque debate. It introduces Conciliar Trinitarianism, a response to the fundamental logical question, and compares it with other Trinity models.

Heidegger and German Platonism

If in its simplest form, hermeneutics is a quest for understanding, then part of that quest will always include striving to understand being and the meaning of being. This open access book takes that ambition seriously, arguing that hermeneutics and metaphysics, so central to philosophical thought but so rarely put in tandem, are two complementary fundamentals of human existence. Metaphysical Hermeneutics puts forward the argument for a hermeneutical metaphysics in service of philosophy's basic aim: to make sense of our experience. Jean Grondin builds his argument for this combined discipline around the idea of 'sense' - a theme that is both hermeneutical and metaphysical. What we seek to glimpse is not just a figment of the mind but always the meaning of something. Grondin calls on one of the founding figures of contemporary hermeneutics Hans-Georg Gadamer to test his theories, singling out the metaphysical dimension of Gadamer's ideas and questioning his seeming embrace and rejection of that dimension. Rooting these questions in the human search for meaning is a major contribution to the scope and resources of hermeneutic philosophy.

Metaphysical Hermeneutics

At the beginning of the 20th century, modern science asserted that only matter really exists. Science, philosophy, and culture declared the victory of materialism over all other worldviews. The contemporary world was formatted according to the software of materialism, coupled with Darwinism, capitalism, individualism, and consumerism. This system engendered the infernal cycle of over-exploitation, over-production, and over-consumption, with many negative consequences. After a century of exponential development, contemporary science is now asserting: Matter doesn't really exist. Different interpretations of contemporary physics, as well as the union of the quantum revolution and the information processing revolution, are leading to the revolutionary conclusion that the universe is not made up of matter or material objects but of energy - understood as activity and complex information-processing systems or agents.
