Hudepohl H: Second Self

Second Self

Connexive logic is a rather new branch of modern logic, based on the idea that no proposition ever implies its own negation. This idea goes back to Aristotle, who put forward the thesis that one and the same consequent cannot be "necessitated" by the same antecedent affirmed and denied. Many medieval logicians discovered, however, that the connexive theses fail to hold in certain cases, namely when the antecedent is impossible, or when the consequent is necessary.
This book scrutinizes the theories of various medieval logicians such as Boethius, Abelard, Kilwardby, Burley, Buridan, Paul of Venice, Albert of Saxony, and the Pseudo-Scot, who endorsed a conception of conditionals as strict implications. This conception validates the "humble" version of the connexive principles, but invalidates their "hardcore" versions according to which, e.g., even the tautological disjunction 'p or not-p' is not implied by its own negation, i.e., by the self-contradictory conjunction 'p and not-p'.

Why You Should Read Classic Literature (Even Though It Might Destroy You)

What's So Great About the Great Books?

'One of the best books ever written on the power and practicality of philosophy for building a good and successful life' - Tom Morris, bestselling author of Plato's Lemonade Stand and Stoicism for Dummies How can we apply the teachings of the greatest ancient philosopher to modern life? Socrates is the most famous ancient philosopher and the father of the entire Western philosophical tradition. He spent his life teaching practical philosophy to ordinary people in the streets of Athens, yet his work has largely been left to gather dust in academia - until now. How to Think Like Socrates is an entertaining and informative primer on the life of the great thinker - and the first book to focus on applying his ideas to our daily lives. Author Donald Robertson transports readers back to the streets of ancient Athens, expertly weaving together a page-turning account of the visionary man who eschewed material pleasures and stood by his beliefs, even in the face of controversy, with a steadfastness that ultimately resulted in his execution. How to Think Like Socrates highlights the continuing importance of the four cardinal virtues of Greek philosophy: wisdom; justice; courage; temperance. As a practising cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist, Robertson also uses his expertise to reveal the many ways in which the evidence-based concepts and techniques of modern psychology can trace their roots back to Socrates and shows how his philosophical insights can guide and benefit all of us to this day. 'Engagingly written and highly accessible, especially innovative in highlighting the significance of Socratic philosophy for modern readers' - Chris Gill, Professor Emeritus of Ancient Thought, Exeter University

Ancient Philosophy as a Way of Life

How To Think Like Socrates

Although Plato is considered by many to be the "founder" of psychology, it is controversial to what extent Plato's various statements on the soul can be combined to form an actual psychological theory. In this volume, which stems from the 2024 Tübingen Platon-Tage, thirteen international researchers examine various aspects of Plato's treatment of the soul that can be called "psychological" in a narrower sense, such as his theory of perception, desire, pleasure, or imagination (
 phantasia
 ). Particular attention is paid to the question of the extent to which such phenomena are psychophysical, i.e., they concern not only the soul but also the body. In addition, there are contributions that seek to clarify what it means for Plato that the soul is a principle of life and also the ruler of the body and its dispositions and processes. Finally, several contributors address the question of the mathematical constitution of the soul in Plato and in the Ancient Academy. In doing so, the volume takes a fresh look at key Platonic texts that discuss phenomena of the soul, such as the 
 Phaedo
 , the 
 Theaetetus
 , the 
 Timaeus
 and the 
 Philebus
 , but also, for example, the 
 Sophist
 . As a result, several main trends emerge: for example, that for Plato the question of the role of the soul is closely linked to the question of the role of the body, and that the problem later addressed by Aristotle is strongly influenced by Plato, not only with regard to the status of the soul, but also with regard to the contribution of the body to the explanation of mental phenomena. Together, these findings provide a basis both for pursuing larger questions about Plato's psychology as a unified theory and for exploring his influence on later traditions, from Aristotelianism to the modern era.

The Little Book of Ethics

What's the Difference?

What’s the difference between sarcasm and irony? Or nihilism and fatalism? Or sex and gender?This book is part of a new series and a brand-new approach to popular reference based on the question, ‘What’s the difference?’.Inside, there are crystal-clear explanations of 150 paired words that build into a wide-ranging philosophy primer. Philosophical concepts are explored in pairs to help clarify common (and not-so-common) confusions. Exploring two definitions at the same time cuts to the heart of a topic quickly and clearly so you can avoid those all too frequent conceptual slip-ups. This book helps you to define your terms so you can tell the difference between a chatterbox and a brainbox, a sophist and a sage, and crucially a well-informed argument and a sloppy debate.

The Regulation of Digital Technologies

This book outlines a new political philosophy that is based on information and its processing. Aristotelians will appreciate the analysis; those siding with Plato (there are only two kinds of people, as Coleridge said), less so. In essence, it supports Aristotle's argument by complementing his intuitively correct but unsupported and never fully elaborated claim that states are natural to humans. It corrects Plato and his epigones (practically every political philosopher ever since) by refuting their claim (considered a given today) that states are artificial, the product of agreement among humans.

Show yourself who's in charge using the original art of persuasion, backed by contemporary pop culture examples that make transforming your habits and achieving goals easy, even fun—from the New York Times bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing Rhetoric once sat at the center of elite education.&nbsp;Alexander the Great, Shakespeare, and Martin Luther King, Jr., used it to build empires, write deathless literature, and inspire democracies. Now it will help you to take leadership over yourself; not through pop psychology or empty inspiration, but with persuasive tools that have been tested for more than three thousand years. In Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion, Heinrichs helps readers persuade their most difficult audiences—themselves—by using&nbsp;techniques invented by the likes of Aristotle and Cicero and deployed by our culture’s most persuasive characters. With their help, rhetoric can convert the most negative situations into positive ones.&nbsp; Heinrichs brings in examples from history and pop culture—Winston Churchill, Iron Man, Dolly Parton, and the woman who serendipitously invented the chocolate chip cookie—to illustrate the concepts. But the core of the book tests the tools of self-persuasion and asks: Can the same techniques that seduce lovers, sell diet books, and overturn governments help us achieve our most desired goals? Filled with entertaining and scienctific studies that showcase the power of what language can do for you, Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion will teach you how to be the most successful person you can be, just by talking to yourself.

Imaginarien der Kraft

Das Buch von Julia Weber zeigt, auf welche Weise das von Aristoteles herrührende Verständnis von virtuellen Kräften als real nicht nachweisbaren, aber dennoch wirksamen Kräften den philosophischen Diskurs bis in die Moderne geprägt hat. Es verfolgt die Entwicklungen von den philosophischen Diskussionen um die Existenz von 
 virtuellen Kräften
 in der Antike und im Mittelalter über das Aufkommen von 
 virtuellen Räumen
 in der Frühen Neuzeit bis hin zur Entstehung von 
 virtuellen Welten
 in der Literatur des 18. Jahrhunderts und macht auf diese Weise die bisher kaum nachvollzogenen Kontinuitäten und Verschiebungen zwischen antiken philosophischen Kraftdiskussionen und zeitgenössischen 
 virtual realities
 sichtbar.
