  • A Treatise of Human Nature

    by David Hume ...
    One of the most significant works of Western philosophy, Hume's Treatise was published in 1739-40, before he was thirty years old. A pinnacle of English empiricism, it is a comprehensive attempt to apply scientific methods of observation to a study of human nature, and a vigorous attack upon the principles of traditional metaphysical thought. With masterly eloquence, Hume denies the immortality of ... Read more

  • Rationality for Mortals

    How People Cope with Uncertainty

    by Gerd Gigerenzer ...
    Series series Evolution and Cognition
    Gerd Gigerenzer's influential work examines the rationality of individuals not from the perspective of logic or probability, but from the point of view of adaptation to the real world of human behavior and interaction with the environment.

  • Evidence Matters

    Science, Proof, and Truth in the Law

    by Susan Haack ...

  • Expressivism, Pragmatism and Representationalism

    by Huw Price, Simon Blackburn, Robert Brandom, Paul Horwich, Michael Williams ...

In this volume Huw Price presents his distinctive version of this traditional combination, as delivered in his René Descartes Lectures at Tilburg University in 2008. Price contrasts his view with other ... Read more

  • Symbol and Reality

    Studies in the philosophy of Ernst Cassirer

    by Carl H. Hamburg ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Since prefaces, for the most part, are written after a book is done, yet face the reader before he gets to it, it is perhaps not surprising that we usually find ourselves addressed by a more chastened and qualifying author than we eventually encounter in the ensuing pages. It is, after all, not only some readers, but the writer of a book himself who reads what he has done and failed to do. If the ... Read more

  • Mere Possibilities

    Metaphysical Foundations of Modal Semantics

    by Robert Stalnaker ...
    Series series Carl G. Hempel Lecture Series
    It seems reasonable to believe that there might have existed things other than those that in fact exist, or have existed. But how should we understand such claims? Standard semantic theories exploit the Leibnizian metaphor of a set of all possible worlds: a proposition might or must be true if it is true in some or all possible worlds. The actualist, who believes that nothing exists except what ... Read more

  • Emotive Language in Argumentation

    by Douglas Walton, Fabrizio Macagno ...

It offers a method for evaluating the persuasive and manipulative uses of emotive language in ordinary ... Read more
