Wilsch T: The Sources of Necessity

The Sources of Necessity

Essence, Laws, and Logic

An ecological epistemology arguing that epistemic agents, communities, and environments adapt to one another to generate evolving understandings of the world. Mainstream epistemology focuses on static states. In Epistemic Ecology, Catherine Elgin adopts a dynamic stance, viewing epistemic subjects as agents rather than onlookers. She examines how, individually and collectively, we construct our epistemic practices, policies, principles, and procedures to overcome our limitations, exploit our assets, and correct our mistakes. Taking an ecological approach, she shows how human organisms and their social and natural environments mutually adjust to accommodate each other. Elgin’s ecological model of understanding reveals that epistemic agents and communities are interdependent and are more deeply implicated in the individuation and characterization of the phenomena they access than standard spectatorial approaches to epistemology assume.&nbsp; Elgin maintains that a commitment’s epistemic acceptability turns in large part on its providing resources for further epistemic advancement. Epistemic progress is an iterative process that corrects, refines, and extends current understanding. Epistemic subjects are agents, not mere observers, and the positions they accept are springboards for improvement rather than windows into the world.&nbsp; Responsible disagreement is an asset because it has the potential to identify and correct shortfalls in the views that are currently accepted.&nbsp; Rather than treat epistemic success—knowledge, understanding, wisdom—as fixed and final, Elgin views success as a stable platform on which to build. How, she asks, should we leverage our findings to move beyond them? Her holistic conception of understanding is integral to education.

Epistemic Ecology

Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory

Examining the role of vision, imagination, love, goodness and transcendence in Murdoch's work The Moral Philosophy of Iris Murdoch presents a compelling and original argument that she is one of the major moral philosophers of the twentieth century.

A Philosophical Analysis

Sexual Orientation and Identity

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.

Analogy and the Roots of Creative Intelligence

The Human Edge

In this illuminating guide to the criteria of rational theorizing, Michael Shepanski identifies, defends and applies W. V. Quine's epistemic norms - the norms that best explain Quine's decisions to accept some theories and not others. Parts I and II set out the doctrines of this epistemology, demonstrating their potential for philosophical application. Part III is a case study in which Shepanski develops a theory of the propositional attitudes by the method of formalizing inferences to behaviour. He presents critiques of popular alternative views, including foundationalism, the centrality of knowledge and Quine's own epistemological naturalism. By reassessing Quine's normative epistemology, Shepanski advances our understanding of Quine's philosophy whilst providing a guide for our own theorizing.

Ontological Explorations Routledge Critical Realism

Meta-Reality emerged from the use of critical realist philosophy to address the fundamental philosophical questions; The nature of the self, The limits of thought, The possibility of personal freedom, The role of religion and spirituality in our lives. In this comprehensive introductory text, the originator of meta-Reality Roy Bhaskar talks the reader through the step by step emergence of his philosophy of meta-Reality, from his earlier philosophy of critical realism. The definition of this theory, and its potential to shed new light on issues is then explored in the book‿s next eight chapters: Identity and the Self Transcendental Identification, Self-Realization and Freedom The Axial Revolution and Modernity Comparative Religion and Spirituality Unfolding the Enfolded: Creativity, Learning and Education Unconditional Love, Peace and Conflict Resolution ‿Unthinking‿ and the Limits of Thought, Spontaneous Right Action and Re-enchanting Reality Conclusion and Summary: Being BeingThroughout this book, the examination of classical philosophical problems helps the reader to fully understand the author‿s philosophy of meta-Reality, while at the same time exposing the reader to its implications for philosophical inquiry and the wider world. Frequent references are made to the philosophies that it is in conflict with (Descartes, Hobbes and Hume), and their differences are subjected to close scrutiny, helping to situate this new approach in the field. Here Roy Bhaskar has produced an essential text for all students of modern philosophy with an interest in critical realism. The book‿s comprehensive approach, depth of analysis, and exploration of a wide range of philosophical problems make it crucial and compelling reading for the postgraduate and undergraduate alike.

A Brief Introduction

Monographien und Texte zur Nietzsche-Forschung

Nietzsche's critical engagement with philosophical methodology has considerable potential to contribute to solving problems in the contemporary philosophy of mind and science. The chapters in this book explain the nature of Nietzsche's experimentalism and show how it allows us to clarify the relationship between philosophy and scientific method. The author demonstrates how Nietzsche can help us to respond in fresh ways to a selection of problems in contemporary philosophy of science, including the realism-antirealism debate, and the status of thought experiments. In so doing, Nietzsche's approach to the philosophy of science gets more accessible to scholars of the history and philosophy of science unfamiliar with his work. Furthermore, Nietzsche's experimentalism is applied to a key question in philosophy of mind, in order to show its contemporary relevance.
