Simion M: Resistance to Evidence

Resistance to Evidence

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.

A View on Fictionality

Truth and Reference in the Making of Fiction

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

"Explores the phenomenon of distrusting evidence coming from reliable sources with current examples including climate change and vaccine scepticism. The book argues that evidence resistance relates to a type of cognitive malfunction and distinguishes it from justified evidence rejection occurring in environments polluted with disinformation"--

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

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.

Familiar Objects and their Shadows

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.

A Consequentialist Moral Theory

Goodness and Justice

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.

Mind and Language, Knowledge and Justification

Anti-Individualism

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

America today is being torn apart by the struggle over a single concept, deeply rooted in the country's sense of self: freedom. Battered by wave after wave of crises, ordinary people of all political persuasions have come to feel that their freedom is under threat - and with it, nothing less than the soul of the nation. In The trouble with freedom, journalist and researcher Melissa Butcher takes a trip into the ferociously polarised world of American politics, hoping to find out what's going on beneath the surface. Criss-crossing the country, she talks to a wide range of people: Democrat and Republican, gay and straight, urban and rural, immigrants, First Nations, Black, white, the incarcerated. What she discovers is that political conflict is often the outcome of very personal experiences of managing cultural change. Exploring the different ways freedom has been used to define what it means to be American, Butcher encounters anger and distrust, but also untapped possibilities for empathy and care.

Die Philosophie der Antike reicht von ihren Ursprüngen in der Vorsokratik des frühen 6. Jh. v. Chr. bis zur Schließung der letzten verbliebenen paganen Philosophenschule, der Platonischen Akademie in Athen, durch Kaiser Justinian im Jahr 529 n. Chr. Das vorliegende Lehrbuch gibt eine anschauliche Einführung in die wichtigsten Grundbegriffe, Positionen und Argumente dieser Epoche. Vorgestellt werden zudem prominente Meinungen und Kontroversen aus der Forschung. Ziel ist es, der Leserin grundlegendes Wissen zu vermitteln, das sie dazu befähigt, künftig Fachbeiträge zur antiken Philosophie eigenständig zu verstehen.

There is a substantial and growing literature on both theories and methods in the study of religion. This new four-volume collection will showcase the very best cutting-edge research and canonical literature.

Methods and Theories in the Study of Religion

This book analyses the tendency in international law scholarship and criticism to seek a 'new' international law. Drawing and building on scholarship around the political significance of theological ideas, it argues that underlying this tendency is a relationship between international law and messianic thinking.
