While causal questions are relevant to all sciences and social sciences, how we discover causal connections is no easy matter. What is the source of such predictability and how does it operate? This is a question that goes beyond science itself and requires a philosophical approach. Causation is the main foundation upon which the possibility of science rests, but what methods should we adopt in order to identify causes in science? Causation often lies hidden and, as we must work to uncover it, it is vital we adopt the right methods in science for doing so and that we have a good philosophical understanding of what causation is. The choice of methods will inevitably reflect what one takes causation to be, making an accurate account of causation an even more pressing matter, as the enquiry concerns the correct norms for the empirical study of the world. In Causation in Science and the Methods of Scientific Discovery, Rani Lill Anjum and Stephen Mumford propose nine new norms of scientific discovery, recognising that some of the greatest challenges that we face can only be solved if we understand what has caused the problem and what, if anything, could then cause its alleviation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScience \u0026amp; Math\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Philosophy\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Poor","offer_id":45261047005374,"sku":"0198733666-6","price":55.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51yZGA_Pp_L._SL500.jpg?v=1754076172"},{"product_id":"0199658307-quitting_certainties_a_bayesian_framework_modeling_degrees_of_belief","title":"Quitting Certainties: A Bayesian Framework Modeling Degrees of Belief","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eMichael G. Titelbaum Presents A New Bayesian Framework For Modeling Rational Degrees Of Belief, Called The Certainty-loss Framework. Subjective Bayesianism Is Epistemologists' Standard Theory Of How Individuals Should Change Their Degrees Of Belief Over Time. But Despite The Theory's Power, It Is Widely Recognized To Fail For Situations Agents Face Every Day--cases In Which Agents Forget Information, Or In Which They Assign Degrees Of Belief To Self-locating Claims. Quitting Certainties Argues That These Failures Stem From A Common Source: The Inability Of Conditionalization (bayesianism's Traditional Updating Rule) To Model Claims' Going From Certainty At An Earlier Time To Less-than-certainty Later On. It Then Presents A New Bayesian Updating Framework That Accurately Represents Rational Requirements On Agents Who Undergo Certainty Loss. Titelbaum Develops This New Framework From The Ground Up, Assuming Little Technical Background On The Part Of His Reader. He Interprets Bayesian Theories As Formal Models Of Rational Requirements, Leading Him To Discuss Both The Elements That Go Into A Formal Model And The General Principles That Link Formal Systems To Norms. By Reinterpreting Bayesian Methodology And Altering The Theory's Updating Rules, Titelbaum Is Able To Respond To A Host Of Challenges To Bayesianism Both Old And New. These Responses Lead In Turn To Deeper Questions About Commitment, Consistency, And The Nature Of Information. Quitting Certainties Presents The First Systematic, Comprehensive Bayesian Framework Unifying The Treatment Of Memory Loss And Context-sensitivity.

This article begins by explaining why a new and better poverty metric is needed and why developing such a metric requires an alternative methodological approach inspired by feminism. Feminist research is a growing tradition of inquiry that aims to produce knowledge not biased by inequitable assumptions about gender and related categories such as class, race, religion, sexuality, and nationality.\"Just Methods\" is designed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in a range of disciplines. Rather than being concerned with particular techniques of inquiry, the interdisciplinary readings in this book address broad questions of research methodology. They are designed to help researchers think critically and constructively about the epistemological and ethical implications of various approaches to research selection and research design, evidence-gathering techniques, and publication of results.A key theme running through the readings is the complex interrelationship between social power and inequality on the one hand and the production of knowledge on the other.

More positively, he presented Nietzsche's ideas about power as one of the great accomplishments of modern philosophy, arguing that his conception of the \"will to power\" was not a crude apology for ruthless self-assertion but must be linked to Nietzsche's equally profound ideas about sublimation.

It then proceeds to a systematic exposition of scientific realism in the form of transcendental realism, highlighting a conception of science as explanatory of a structured, differentiated and changing world.Turning to the social domain, the book argues for a view of the social order as conditioned by, and emergent from, nature. Advocating a critical naturalism, the author shows how the transformational model of social activity together with the conception of social science as explanatory critique which it entails, resolves the divisions and dualisms besetting orthodox social and normative between society and the individual, structure and agency, meaning and behavior, mind and body, reason and cause, fact and value, and theory and practice. The book then goes on to discuss the emancipatory implications of social science and sketches the nature of the depth investigation characteristically entailed.In the highly innovative third part of the book Roy Bhaskar completes his critique of positivism by developing a theory of philosophical discourse and ideology, on the basis of the transcendental realism and critical naturalism already developed, showing how positivism functions as a restrictive ideology of and for science and other social practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhilosophy\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eEpistemology\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261386088638,"sku":"086091853X-4","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51neV_WEJcL._SL500.jpg?v=1754078407"},{"product_id":"0801428297-kantian_ethics_almost_without_apology","title":"Kantian Ethics Almost without Apology","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eThe Emphasis On Duly In Kant's Ethics Is Widely Held To Constitute A Defect.

It is also a pioneering study of the ethology of the scientists – of the anatomy of scientific behaviour. Is it true that scientists are detached or dispassionate observers of Nature? What underlies the scientist’s deep concern over the matters of priority? How did a class distinction grow up between pure and applied science? By what criteria do scientists value their own and their colleagues work? Some of the answers grow out of author’s four critical studies of Teilhard de Chardin, Arthur Koestler, D’Arcy Thompson and Herbert Spencer and the book as whole is knit together by a major essay Hypothesis and Imagination, on the nature of scientific reasoning. P. B. Medawar, who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1960, did not see science as a book-keeping of Nature but, on the contrary, as the greatest of human adventures.

DONALO DAVIDSON GILBERT HARMAN EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION The success of linguistics in treating naturallanguages as formal syntactic systems has aroused the interest of a number of linguists in a paralleI or related development of semantics. For the most part quite independ ently, many philosophers and logicians have reeently been applying formai semantic methods to structures increasingly like naturallanguages. While differenees in training, method and vocabulary tend to veil the fact, philosophers and linguists are converging, it seerns, on a common set of interrelated probiems. Sinee philosophers and linguists are working on the same, or very similar, probiems, it would obviously be instructive to compare notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWords, Language \u0026amp; Grammar\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eSemantics\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Used - Poor","offer_id":45261592592574,"sku":"9027703108-6","price":21.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/41EnLLAPpwL._SL500.jpg?v=1754079697"},{"product_id":"0197553974-rules_for_wrongdoers_law-_morality-_war","title":"Rules for Wrongdoers: Law, Morality, War (The Berkeley Tanner Lectures)","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eArthur Ripstein's lectures focus on the two bodies of rules governing war: the jus ad bellum, which regulates resort to armed force, and the jus in bello, which sets forth rules governing the conduct of armed force and applies equally to all parties. Ripstein argues that recognizing both sets\u003cbr\u003e of rules as distinctive prohibitions, rather than as permissions, can reconcile the supposed tension between them. He contends that the law and morality of war are in fact aligned, because the central wrong of war is that war is the condition which force decides. In his first lecture, \"Rules for\u003cbr\u003e Wrongdoers,\" he explains how moral principles governing an activity apply even to those who are not permitted to engage in them. In his second lecture, \"Combatants and Civilians,\" he develops a parallel account of the distinction between combatants and civilians. The volume includes an introduction\u003cbr\u003e by editor Saira Mohamed and subsequent essays by commentators Oona A. Hathaway, Christopher Kutz, and Jeff McMahan.

And think what curating is all about. This book starts from this simple premise: thinking the activity of curating. To do that, it distinguishes between 'curating' and 'the curatorial'. If 'curating' is a gamut of professional practices for setting up exhibitions, then 'the curatorial' explores what takes place on the stage set up, both intentionally and unintentionally, by the curator. It therefore refers not to the staging of an event, but to the event of knowledge itself. \u003cbr\u003eIn order to start thinking about curating, this book takes a new approach to the topic. Instead of relying on conventional art historical narratives (for example, identifying the moments when artistic and curatorial practices merged or when the global curator-author was first identified), this book puts forward a multiplicity of perspectives that go from the anecdotal to the theoretical and from the personal to the philosophical. These perspectives allow for a fresh reflection on curating, one in which, suddenly, curating becomes an activity that implicates us all (artists, curators, and viewers), not just as passive recipients, but as active members. As such, the Curatorial is a book without compromise: it asks us to think again, fight against sweeping art historical generalizations, the sedimentation of ideas and the draw of the sound bite. Curating will not stop, but at least with this book it can begin to allow itself to be challenged by some of the most complex and ethics-driven thought of our times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArts \u0026amp; Photography\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Criticism\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eCriticism\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Used - Like New","offer_id":45261596557502,"sku":"1474229212-2","price":33.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/41GSmcIUiUL._SL500.jpg?v=1754079729"},{"product_id":"0061730459-that_bird_has_my_wings_an_oprahs_book_club_pick","title":"That Bird Has My Wings: An Oprah's Book Club Pick","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eJarvis Jay Masters Has Taken An Extraordinary Journey Of Faith.

Diversity Of This Sort Is Pervasive, Existing Not Only Across Basic Theistic Systems But Also Within These Theistic Systems Themselves. Religious Diversity Explores The Breadth And Significance Of Such Conflict. Examining The Beliefs Of Various Theistic Systems, Particularly Within Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism And Buddhism, Basinger Discusses Seemingly Incompatible Claims About Many Religious Issues, Including The Nature Of God And The Salvation Of Humankind. He Considers Particularly The Work Of Hick, Gellman, Plantinga, Schellenberg, Alston, Wainwright, And Quinn, Applying Their Perspectives On 'exclusivism' And 'pluralism' As They Become Relevant To The Issues In Question. Basinger's Survey Of The Relevant Literature, Proposed Solutions, And Fresh Insights Offer An Invaluable Contribution Not Only For Philosophers Of Religion And Philosophical Theologians But For Anyone Interested In The Increasingly Significant Question Of What A Religious Believer Can Or Cannot Justifiably Say About Their Religious Perspective.
