Published in 1998, the main aim of this book is to use a naturalistic, evolutionary approach to solve some of the most important problems in philosophy. The first two problems come from the philosophy of science: the problem of rationality of science and the problem of truth in science. In presenting the first problem, the author argues that the views of Kuhn and Feyerabend do create a very serious challenge to traditional epistemology, however, if the assumption of individual rationality is abandoned in favour of the author's social concept of rationality, a committed naturalism can account for science as a rational activity. In tackling the second problem of truth, the author shows that a committed evolutionary philosophy does not support realism but leads instead to a thorough evolutionary relativism of scientific knowledge. It is nevertheless possible to use this evolutionary relativism to construct a theory of relative truth. The issue of whether science discovers truth has also been tied to absolutism, that a well formulated theory of relative truth is likely to bring about a profound transformation of the way we think about the field. The author explores the notion of relative truth in the philosophy of science, ethics and aesthetics.

There is a new wave invading our space, promising to fundamentally alter the way we do everything, from everyday business, to how we interact socially. However, this is a very quiet revolution, for though all can clearly see things changing, yet it is not at all clear what it means, or what it is all leading to. Nevertheless, the implementation of this aEURoeBrave New WorldaEUR is being fostered upon us all, whether we notice it or not. What I am speaking of here is the innovation of modern technology and how it has influenced us in our perspectives, and how we live our everyday lives. We have indeed gone through these revolutions before, which have radically changed our lives; things like the industrial revolution, or the discovery and development of electricity, but with the introduction of aEURoeartificial intelligenceaEUR and the advancing of aEURoesmart machines,aEUR we are defiantly venturing uncharted seas. Throughout the evolution of technology, we have basically understood the machines we have made, but we are coming to a frontier where that is no longer true. We have created machines which perform tasks of which we do not completely understand, and this is only the beginning. There is a tremendous amount of good which has come of technology, but there is usually some negatives of unintended consequences which we must deal with after the fact. The dynamics of this new world coming upon us is extremely rapid, being driven by the economics, which leaves very little time for the consideration of those unintended consequences. This book is intended to provide the perspective in order to navigate the waters of the unknown, and to be able ride the waves of advancing technology, without being overcome by them.

"In the popular imagination, turn-of-the-century Vienna is a cerebral place, marked by Freud, the discovery of the unconscious, and the advent of high modernist culture. But as historian Alys George argues, this stereotype of Viennese Modernism as essentially "heady" overlooks a rich cultural history of the body in the period. Spanning 1870 to 1930, The Naked Truth is an interdisciplinary tour de force that recasts the visual, literary, and performative cultures of the era and offers an alternative genealogy of this fascinating moment in the history of the West. Starting with the Second Vienna Medical School and its innovations in anatomy and pathology, George traces an emerging culture of bodily knowledge by analyzing a variety of written and visual media, including theater and dance, and by drawing connections between scientific and artistic discourses. Paying equal attention to both low and high culture, bringing gender and class issues back to the fore, and highlighting the role of female thinkers and writers, George's book makes a signal contribution to our understanding of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Viennese and European culture. The Naked Truth shows us that the "inward turn" cannot be understood until it is set against the backdrop of a culture obsessed with exploring and displaying humanity in its embodied, carnal form"--

The problems begin on Inauguration Day for President Virginia Clausen, as terrorists begin blackmailing America. The world's nuclear powers join with the terrorists, demanding America's capitulation. When suicide bombers hit Washington, D.C., Americans begin fleeing the cities. President Clausen escapes aboard Air Force One; the Secretary of Defense hurriedly moves his Pentagon Crisis Team to the National Airborne Operations Center. Using teleconferencing, President Clausen and her National Security Council meet throughout the night. However, time is running out and they remain at odds over what to do Surrender or go to war?

To what extent does cultural diversity affect the activity and the products of philosophizing? Can there be convergence of worldviews and conceptual frameworks across cultural boundaries? Can there be mutual understanding across them in spite of diversity? To what extent are the philosophies and worldviews developed in North and Latin America diverse? These and other questions prompted by the recent upsurge of relativism are tackled in original essays by philosophers and social scientists from North and Latin America.

This thought-provoking book fundamentally questions the foundations of Darwinism, which has become widely accepted as fact, through detailed biological arguments and the use of the author's own intricate knowledge of anatomy. Challenging the suggestion that the flora and fauna of the world came about through a series of unlikely mutations, the author makes many careful distinctions, such as differentiating between micro- and macro-evolution and the characteristics of DNA.

‘A Theory of Wonder’ aims to determine the best way science can satisfy our sense of wonder by exploring the world. Empiricism tells us that science succeeds because it follows the scientific method: Observation passes judgment on Theory – supporting or rejecting it. Much credit is given to the inventor of the method, Galileo, but when historically-minded philosophers of science like Kuhn and Feyerabend called our attention to what Galileo actually wrote and did, we were shocked to find out that Galileo instead drives a dagger through the heart of empiricism; he strikes down the distinction between theory and observation. Plain facts, like the vertical fall of a stone, ruled out the motion of the Earth. To conclude that the stone really falls vertically, however, we must assume that the Earth does not move. If it does move, then the stone only “seems” to fall vertically. Galileo then replaced the “facts” against the motion of the Earth with “facts” that included such motion. This process is typical during scientific revolutions. A good strategy for science is to elaborate radical alternatives; then, and on their basis, reconsider what counts as evidence. Feyerabend was called irrational for this suggestion; but looking at the practice of science from the perspective of evolution and neuroscience shows that the suggestion is very reasonable instead, and, moreover, explains why science works best as a radical form of knowledge. It also leads to a sensible biological form of relative truth, with preliminary drafts leading to exciting discussions with other researchers in the philosophy of science. This book will be of particular interest to university students, instructors and researchers in history or philosophy of science, as well as those with a general interest in the nature of science.
