Las diversas contribuciones de este volumen se encuadran en la especulación medieval cosmológico-metafísica que versa sobre la cuestión central acerca de la unidad y la multiplicidad del Logos en el cosmos. Debido a la ausencia de una interpretación homogénea -henología versus ontología- en los estudios medievales acerca del significado de la natura, propone estudiar cuáles han sido las vías principales de justificación del contenido de dicha natura como explicación y manifestación (explicatio) de un principio artífice causal. Se profundiza en las nociones de unidad y pluralidad imbricadas en un mundo en el que el Logos se manifiesta -al modo de causalidad inmanente- en diversos ámbitos de la legibilidad de lo natural. La selección de líneas significativas -que giran históricamente, de modo precedente, o consecuente, alrededor de la polémica del Liber de causis- servirá para un diálogo con algunas exposiciones contemporáneas acerca de la recuperación de la concepción del Logos clásico; tal como se plantea, por ejemplo, en H. G. Gadamer y J.-L. Nancy. *** Die Beiträge dieses Sammelbandes erörtern die für die kosmologisch-metaphysische Spekulation des Mittelalters zentrale Frage nach der Einheit und Vielheit des Logos im Kosmos. Jenseits der üblichen Gegenüberstellung von Henologie und Ontologie, wie sie in der Forschung über die mittelalterliche Konzeption der natura noch weitgehend dominierend ist, wird hier der Versuch unternommen, einige der Hauptlinien zu skizzieren, auf denen die Rechtfertigung der Auffassung stattgefunden hat, nach der die Natur im Ganzen als Entfaltung und Manifestation (explicatio) eines künstlich-schöpferischen kausalen Prinzips zu begreiffen ist. Dabei spielt die Polemik um das sogenannte Liber de causis vom historischen und systematischen Standpunkt aus eine zentrale Rolle. Im Zusammenhang mit der Diskussion klassischer mittelalterlicher Positionen wird schließlich auch die Möglichkeit eines produktiven Dialogs mit zeitgenössischen Konzeptionen erörtert, die auf eine Rehabilitierung der klassischen Logos-Auffassung abzielen, so etwa bei Autoren wie H.-G. Gadamer und J.-L. Nancy.

Resemblance And Representation written by Ben Blumson and has been published by Open Book Publishers this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014-09-21 with Philosophy categories.
It’s a platitude – which only a philosopher would dream of denying – that whereas words are connected to what they represent merely by arbitrary conventions, pictures are connected to what they represent by resemblance. The most important difference between my portrait and my name, for example, is that whereas my portrait and I are connected by my portrait’s resemblance to me, my name and I are connected merely by an arbitrary convention. The first aim of this book is to defend this platitude from the apparently compelling objections raised against it, by analysing depiction in a way which reveals how it is mediated by resemblance. It’s natural to contrast the platitude that depiction is mediated by resemblance, which emphasises the differences between depictive and descriptive representation, with an extremely close analogy between depiction and description, which emphasises the similarities between depictive and descriptive representation. Whereas the platitude emphasises that the connection between my portrait and me is natural in a way the connection between my name and me is not, the analogy emphasises the contingency of the connection between my portrait and me. Nevertheless, the second aim of this book is to defend an extremely close analogy between depiction and description. The strategy of the book is to argue that the apparently compelling objections raised against the platitude that depiction is mediated by resemblance are manifestations of more general problems, which are familiar from the philosophy of language. These problems, it argues, can be resolved by answers analogous to their counterparts in the philosophy of language, without rejecting the platitude. So the combination of the platitude that depiction is mediated by resemblance with a close analogy between depiction and description turns out to be a compelling theory of depiction, which combines the virtues of common sense with the insights of its detractors.

Causality offers the first comprehensive coverage of causal analysis in many sciences, including recent advances using graphical methods. Pearl presents a unified account of the probabilistic, manipulative, counterfactual and structural approaches to causation, and devises simple mathematical tools for analyzing the relationships between causal connections, statistical associations, actions and observations. The book will open the way for including causal analysis in the standard curriculum of statistics, artificial intelligence ...

Originally published in 1963, this classic book is a rethinking of the history of Western political philosophy. Charles N. R. McCoy contrasts classical-medieval principles against the “hypotheses” at the root of modern liberalism and modern conservativism. In Part I, “The Classical Christian Tradition from Plato to Aquinas,” the author lays the foundation for a philosophical “structure” capable of producing “constitutional liberty.” Part II, “The Modern Theory of Politics from Machiavelli to Marx,” attempts to show, beginning with Machiavelli, the reversal and destruction of the pre-modern “structure” postulated in Part I. McCoy stresses the great contributions of Aristotle to political thought found in his more familiar Ethics and Politics, but also includes key insights drawn from Metaphysics and Physics. These contributions are developed and perfected, McCoy argues, by Augustine and Aquinas. Two other important features include McCoy’s epistemological insights into Plato’s work that will be new to many readers and the author’s juxtaposition of traditional natural law with “the modernized theory of natural law.” The modern account of autonomous natural law, in McCoy’s view, helps explain the totalitarian direction of key aspects of modern political thought. This classic volume on the origins of modern philosophical thought remains a standard in the field.

This title, first published in 1975, contains two complimentary studies by Paul Q. Hirst: the first based on Claude Bernard’s theory of scientific knowledge, and the second concerning Emile Durkheim’s attempt to provide a philosophical foundation for a scientific sociology in The Rules of Sociological Method. The author’s primary concern is to answer the question: is Durkheim’s theory of knowledge logically consistent and philosophically viable? His principal conclusion is that the epistemology developed in the Rules is an impossible one and that its inherent contradictions are proof that sociology as it is commonly understood can never be a scientific discipline.

This book explores the role of causal constraints in science, shifting our attention from causal relations between individual events--the focus of most philosophical treatments of causation—to a broad family of concepts and principles generating constraints on possible change. Yemima Ben-Menahem looks at determinism, locality, stability, symmetry principles, conservation laws, and the principle of least action—causal constraints that serve to distinguish events and processes that our best scientific theories mandate or allow from those they rule out. Ben-Menahem's approach reveals that causation is just as relevant to explaining why certain events fail to occur as it is to explaining events that do occur. She investigates the conceptual differences between, and interrelations of, members of the causal family, thereby clarifying problems at the heart of the philosophy of science. Ben-Menahem argues that the distinction between determinism and stability is pertinent to the philosophy of history and the foundations of statistical mechanics, and that the interplay of determinism and locality is crucial for understanding quantum mechanics. Providing historical perspective, she traces the causal constraints of contemporary science to traditional intuitions about causation, and demonstrates how the teleological appearance of some constraints is explained away in current scientific theories such as quantum mechanics. Causation in Science represents a bold challenge to both causal eliminativism and causal reductionism—the notions that causation has no place in science and that higher-level causal claims are reducible to the causal claims of fundamental physics.
