(1 other version)Logic: The Question of Truth.Thomas Sheehan (ed.) -2010 - Indiana University Press.detailsMartin Heidegger's 1925–26 lectures on truth and time provided much of the basis for his momentous work, Being and Time. Not published until 1976 as volume 21 of the Complete Works, three months before Heidegger's death, this work is central to Heidegger's overall project of reinterpreting Western thought in terms of time and truth. The text shows the degree to which Aristotle underlies Heidegger's hermeneutical theory of meaning. It also contains Heidegger’s first published critique of Husserl and takes major steps (...) toward establishing the temporal bases of logic and truth.Thomas Sheehan's elegant and insightful translation offers English-speaking readers access to this fundamental text for the first time.

The Cambridge Companion to Duns Scotus.Thomas Williams (ed.) -2002 - New York: Cambridge University Press.detailsEach volume in this series of companions to major philosophers contains specially commissioned essays by an international team of scholars, together with a substantial bibliography, and will serve as a reference work for students and non-specialists. One aim of the series is to dispel the intimidation such readers often feel when faced with the work of a difficult and challenging thinker. John Duns Scotus was one of the three principal figures in medieval philosophy and theology, with an influence on modern (...) thought arguably even greater than that of Aquinas. The essays in this volume systematically survey the full range of Scotus' thought. They take care to explain the technical details of his writing in lucid terms and demonstrate the relevance of his work to contemporary philosophical debate. New readers will find this the most convenient and accessible guide to Scotus currently available. (shrink)
The Power of Public Positions: Official Roles in Kantian Legitimacy.Thomas Sinclair -2018 - In David Sobel, Peter Vallentyne & Steven Wall,Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy Volume 4. Oxford University Press.detailsThe Kantian account of political authority holds that the state is a necessary and sufficient condition of our freedom. We cannot be free outside the state, Kantians argue, because any attempt to have the ‘acquired rights’ necessary for our freedom implicates us in objectionable relations of dependence on private judgment. Only in the state can this problem be overcome. But it is not clear how mere institutions could make the necessary difference, and contemporary Kantians have not offered compelling explanations. I (...) present a detailed analysis of the problems Kantians identify with the state of nature and the objections they face in claiming that the state overcomes them. I then sketch a response on behalf of Kantians. The key idea is that only under state institutions can a person can make claims of acquired right without presupposing that she is by nature exceptional in her capacity to bind others. (shrink)
You must change your life: Søren Kierkegaard's philosophy of reading.Thomas J. Millay -2020 - Eugene, Oregon: Cascade Books.detailsCountless academic books have been written about how to interpret literary texts. From reader response criticism to Marxist hermeneutics and beyond, the scholarship on interpretive methods is vast. Yet all these books fail to address a more fundamental question: Why should we read in the first place? Or, to put it another way, why is reading an important thing to do? In order to answer these questions,Thomas J. Millay turns to the wisdom of Danish philosopher-theologian Søren Kierkegaard. In (...) this the first book to be written on Kierkegaard's philosophy of reading, Millay finds that reading does have a specific purpose: it is supposed to change your life. With lucid, nontechnical prose, Millay both establishes the definitive interpretation of Kierkegaard's philosophy of reading and explores the various concrete practices Kierkegaard recommended for its implementation"--Publisher's description.

College Life: Letters to an Under-Graduate.Thomas Whytehead -2017 - Cambridge University Press.detailsThese 'letters to an undergraduate' were published in 1845, two years after the death of their author,Thomas Whytehead. His outstanding student career at Cambridge suggested that he would remain in academic life, but having been ordained a deacon and then a priest, he volunteered for missionary work, and in 1841 sailed for the southern hemisphere as chaplain to the newly appointed Bishop Selwyn. He became seriously ill on arrival in Australia, and died in New Zealand the following year. (...) This work was created during Whytehead's time as a curate, and later on his travels: he felt strongly that new undergraduates at Oxford and Cambridge should have a spiritual and moral guide to life in college as well as a history of university institutions and customs. The letters cover the collegiate system, discipline, rooms, the chapel and hall, the lecture room and library, and the lasting importance of college friends. (shrink)

What jokes can tell us about arguments.Thomas M. Conley -unknowndetailsPerelman teaches us that, unlike demonstrations, arguments cannot be reduced to or understood as closed systems. In some particular--but telling-- ways, arguments are like jokes. Telling a joke requires close attention to, e.g., appropriateness as re gards subjects, length, the extent of shared knowledge of both particulars and stereotypes, and whether it is possible to be ironic without being misunderstood. Thinking along these lines points up the futil ity of reducing either the invention or the evaluation of arguments to formal (...) schemata. (shrink)
God Without Being: Hors-Texte, Second Edition.Thomas A. Carlson (ed.) -2012 - University of Chicago Press.detailsJean-Luc Marion is one of the world’s foremost philosophers of religion as well as one of the leading Catholic thinkers of modern times. In _God Without Being_, Marion challenges a fundamental premise of traditional philosophy, theology, and metaphysics: that God, before all else, must be. Taking a characteristically postmodern stance and engaging in passionate dialogue with Heidegger, he locates a “God without Being” in the realm of _agape_, or Christian charity and love. If God is love, Marion contends, then God (...) loves before he actually is. First translated into English in 1991, _God Without Being_ continues to be a key book for discussions of the nature of God. This second edition contains a new preface by Marion as well as his 2003 essay onThomas Aquinas. Offering a controversial, contemporary perspective, _God Without Being_ will remain essential reading for scholars and students of philosophy and religion. “Daring and profound.... In matters most central to his thesis, [Marion]’s control is admirable, and his attunement to the nuances of other major postmodern thinkers is impressive.”—_Theological Studies_ “A truly remarkable work.”—_First Things_ “Very rewarding reading.”—_Religious Studies Review_.

Lebendiges Wissen des Lebens: Zur Verschränkung von Plessners Philosophischer Anthropologie Und Canguilhems Historischer Epistemologie.EbkeThomas -2012 - Berlin: Akademie.detailsDas vorliegende Buch eroffnet den Dialog zwischen zwei Denkern, deren Arbeiten traditionell vollig unverbunden nebeneinander stehen, es wagt den Vergleich zwischen der Philosophischen Anthropologie von Helmuth Plessner und der Historischen Epistemologie von Georges Canguilhem. Uberzeugend weistThomas Ebke nach, dass den philosophischen Konzeptionen beider Denker eine eigentumliche Dialektik eingeschrieben ist, die auf der einen Seite ihre Aquivalenz garantiert, sie auf der anderen Seite jedoch in eine unendliche Rivalitat verwickelt: Diese Dialektik zeigt sich in der Struktur eines "lebendigen Wissens des (...) Lebens." Zugleich erhellt der Autor die enorme Gegenwartsfahigkeit der Einsichten Plessners und Canguilhems. Erst im Ruckgang auf das lebendige Wissen des Lebens, das beide Theoretiker je unterschiedlich ausbuchstabieren, entsteht ein uberzeugender Ausweg aus den Aporien, von denen die zeitgenossischen Biowissenschaften ebenso heimgesucht werden wie deren philosophische Standardkritiken.".
