The present book is concerned with the nature of philosophy and with the scope of philosophical interest. It combines an analysis of the major types of philosophical thinking as they emerged in the history of philosophical ideas with an attempt to examine problems which recurrent­ ly emerge in philosophical...

This unique introduction to philosophy is designed as a companion volume to a number of classic philosophical texts widely used in first- and upper-year philosophy courses. While remaining clear and readable, Inroads provides detailed analyses of fundamental issues in metaphysics and morals: the...

Taking Hugh of St. Victor's On the Sacraments of the Christian Faith as his source text, Dillard applies the methods of analytic philosophy to develop a systematic theology in the spirit of Christian Platonism, exploring questions that remain pressing for readers interested in philosophy, theology, religion, and the history of medieval thought.

Nie zuvor herrschte eine solche Unsicherheit wie heute hinsichtlich der Frage, welche Dinge als Kunst gelten dürfen und welche nicht. Verdutzt steht man oft im Museum und fragt sich: Sollte dies wirklich Kunst sein? Offenbar wird es von manchen dafür gehalten, sonst wäre es nicht dort, aber wir...

Accade di rado che qualcuno sappia entrare nel mondo di un artista, respirarne l’atmosfera, coglierne riferimenti e collegamenti che si diramano nel tempo, e trasmettere quel nocciolo misterioso che trasforma le opere in capolavori che parlano dell’anima del mondo. In questo suo nuovo libro Michele...

The critical theory tradition has, since its inception, sought to distinguish its perspective on society by maintaining that persons have a deep-seated interest in the free development of their personality--an interest that can only be realized in and through the rational organization of society,...

This volume provides a much needed, historically accurate narrative of the development of theories of space up to the beginning of the eighteenth century. It studies conceptions of space that were implicitly or explicitly entailed by ancient, medieval and early modern representations of the cosmos....

Philosophy has not just excluded women. It has also been shaped by the exclusion of women. As the field grapples with the reality that sexism is a central problem not just for the demographics of the field but also for how philosophy is practiced, many philosophers have begun to rethink the canon....

This book investigates one aspect of the story of how our religiously-oriented culture became a secular one. It concentrates on the conflicts enveloping the attitude to the past from the late seventeenth to the early twentieth century. The background argument is that the way the process of secularization...

Prima traduzione italiana di un’opera di Hermann A. Korff, i cinque saggi qui proposti, del 1924, rappresentano il nucleo tematico della sua opera maggiore, il Geist der Goethezeit, uno dei più celebri e dettagliati affreschi della cosiddetta “età di Goethe”, quel periodo decisivo della storia...

楊正顯的〈白沙學的定位與成立〉書寫細緻，是年輕學者中難得一見的佳作。楊文旁徵博引，舉凡正史、文集、碑帖、書信、詩詞、墓誌銘、縣志等等與之關涉史料，幾乎一網打盡，鉅細靡遺。該文表面上處理傳統學案體所遺留下來的問題：究竟明朝陳白沙的思想應該歸諸禪門佛釋，還是道家玄學，抑或儒學正宗？是儒學中之理學還是心學？其思想淵源是繞道漢宋，直接上承孟子，還是從宋初二程之理學傳統而來？白沙思想的核心概念或修養功夫的法門是「隨處體認天理」，還是「勿忘勿助」？楊文並非採取與白沙同時期的人或與其門生故舊相平行的判教方法，而是採取了學術史，或者可稱之為知識考古的方法，追溯後代所建構的白沙學面目的由來。楊文依照時間順序，詳論張詡、林光、湛若水等門生對江門心學的建構史。根據楊文研究，陳白沙故後，他的弟子之間興起幾個階段的師門學思宗旨的詮釋論爭─楊文稱之為「話語權」的爭奪。 此一同門間對師說的詮釋之爭，是本文的故事核心（另一條交涉但占據相對邊緣，但同樣重要的學術思想史故事是江門心學與陽明學之間的合離糾結）。本文層層剝解歷史文獻之包覆，終至揭露核心─今日學案所通見的陳白沙思想定位，其實是白沙門人中的相對晚輩湛若水所建立；它其實摒除或清除了先前門人的師說詮釋。 目錄 [發刊辭] 【編輯語】 【論著】 楊正顯　　白沙學的定位與成立 魏綵瑩　　廖平論《春秋》撥正下的世界秩序與中國──從「二伯」的理想談起 黃克武　　靈學與近代中國的知識轉型──民初知識分子對科學、宗教與迷信的再思考 梁裕康　　自由與必然──對霍布斯相容主義的一種脈絡分析 【學人專訪】 An...

Meetings with Remarkable Men, G. I. Gurdjieff’s autobiographical account of his youth and early travels, has become something of a legend since it was first published in 1963. A compulsive “read” in the tradition of adventure narratives, but suffused with Gurdjieff’s unique perspective on...
