Practices of Truth in Philosophy

Historical and Comparative Perspectives

Written in an engaging style for undergraduate students and general readers, Environmental Justice as Environmental Ethics: An Introduction is a new kind of primer to the study of moral problems and the natural world. It takes as its starting point the increasing awareness among researchers, activists, and others that the key ethical issues related to the use of the environment are questions of justice. It then provides a framework for systematically understanding environmental justice, exploring sustainable development, consumption, the distribution of natural resources, environmental racism, ecofeminism, and the anti-toxic movement, among other issues. The book reaches beyond the usual concerns of moral theory to engage with environmental issues where most readers find them on the ground. The result is a new kind of introduction to environmental ethics-foregrounding the importance of environmental justice and engaging students by illuminating those topics they find the most compelling, important, and relevant to their daily lives. Included in the text are teaching tools, like short descriptions of longer arguments discussed elsewhere, tips for detecting problematic reasoning, questions at the end of each chapter, and a bibliography of prominent and useful literature. A Companion Website provides links to key documents, important interviews, and videos that illuminate key parts of the book

Epistemology of Modality

Expanded and Explained

Locke’s Essay

This book introduces students and researchers to the philosophical issues at play in the growing field of Bayesian epistemology. It focuses not on how to do particular calculations but instead on the philosophical foundations at the convergence of belief and mathematical representation. Its central questions are: What is the nature of quantifying belief? What is the source of its norms? How is it reasonable to represent belief numerically? Accessible to those without any mathematical background, this book will become a much used classic in the field.

In some cases in the US, offenders have been made to take anti-psychotic drugs in order to restore competence to stand trial, or even to receive punishment. If such neurointerventions can change a person's behaviour can they be used to treat and more controversially, predict and prevent crime? Once a fantasy portrayed in films such as Minority Report such questions are fast-becoming fundamental ones for policy, law and ethics. This is the first book to introduce and explain the fundamental concepts, problems and debates around neuroscience, ethics and crime. After a helpful introduction the authors examine the following topics: Criminal justice, harm and the problem of punishment: why punish? Cognitive and behavioural neuroscience: a short introductionReading minds: can brain scans replace lie detector tests and predict reoffending?Neuroscientific assessments of competency Compulsory neurointerventions: can changing the brain be used to increase empathy and reduce violent urges?Voluntary neurointervention: is it wrong to administer neurointerventions even if the offender agrees to receive the neurointervention?Neuroscience, free will and moral responsibilityBroader issues in criminal justice, including the justification of criminal punishment and the role of moral intuitions in decision-making. Additional features, such as chapter summaries, annotated further reading and a glossary make this an excellent resource for students of philosophy and those in related disciplines such as philosophy, criminology, law and criminal justice.

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

Meta-Reality

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.
