Offering discussions from a variety of disciplinary approaches, including sociology, communication, and social theory, as well as hermeneutics, phenomenology, and deconstruction, this book will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in healthcare, medicine, justice and the question of how we think about care as a notion and social form, and how this is related to practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealth, Fitness \u0026amp; Dieting\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\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\"\u003eEthics \u0026amp; Morality\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocial Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eSocial Work\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSociology\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eMedicine\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eReference\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaw\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eSpecialties\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eHealth \u0026amp; Medical Law\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmericas\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCanada\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eFirst Nations\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stuart J.

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. It develops this framework, motivates it, compares it to alternatives, then applies it to cases in epistemology, decision theory, the theory of identity, and the philosophy of quantum mechanics.\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\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Titelbaum, Michael G.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Illustrated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oxford University Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 362\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780199658305\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261075054782,"sku":"0199658307-4","price":45.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/41h9iR8qmfL._SL500.jpg?v=1754076303"},{"product_id":"156324991x","title":"Philosophy and Computer Science","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume is divided into four main areas of philosophy: logic, epistemology (theory of knowledge); philosophy of mind; and ethics.

Without ignoring or downplaying the ugliness of many of Nietzsche's proclamations, he set them in the context of his work as a whole and of the counterexamples yielded by a responsible reading of his books. 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 Follows In The Tradition Of British Election Study Books, Providing A Comprehensive Account Of Specific Election Outcomes- The General Elections Of 2015 And 2017-and A More General And Novel Approach To Understanding Electoral Change.

The Focus On Electoral Shocks Offers An Overarching Explanation For The Volatility In British Elections, Alongside The Long-term Trends That Have Led To This Point. It Offers A Way To Understand The Rise And Fall Of The Uk Independence Party (ukip), Labour's Disappointing 2015 Performance And Its Later Unexpected Gains, The Collapse In Support For The Liberal Democrats, The Dramatic Gains Of The Scottish National Party (snp) In 2015, And The Continuing Period Of Tumultuous Politics That Has Followed The Eu Referendum And The General Election Of 2017.

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\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bhaskar, Roy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e First Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 318\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780860918530\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261386088638,"sku":"086091853X-4","price":5.24,"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":"0300021267","title":"Gadamer: Dialogue Dialectic (cloth): Eight Hermeneutical Studies on Plato","description":"\n\u003cp\u003e\"This book is a virtual case study in the application of hermeneutical principles to illuminate philosophical texts.

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":66.79,"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":"0061730459","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.

In this book philosopher and ethicist Caroline J. Simon identifies six \"lenses\" through which people understand sex and sexuality: covenantal, procreative, expressive, romantic, power and \"plain sex.\" Guided by a virtue ethic, she applies those lenses to a variety of sexual scenarios, from flirtation and desire to marital sexuality, helping us to see what filters we run issues of sexuality through and how, properly ordered and weighted, they can help us achieve sexual integrity. Here is a book for anyone interested in developing a holistic, biblical sexual ethic that brings into focus the bewildering array of cultural sexual presentations we're surrounded by every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligion \u0026amp; Spirituality\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligious Studies\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eEthics\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":"IVP Books","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261757382846,"sku":"0830836373-4","price":4.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Acceptable","offer_id":45261757415614,"sku":"0830836373-5","price":12.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/413LIM1gmIL._SL500.jpg?v=1754081690"},{"product_id":"1583945555","title":"The Tibetan Book of the Dead: Awakening Upon Dying","description":"\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Tibetan Book of the Dead: Awakening Upon Dying\u003c\/i\u003e, with introductory commentary by Dzogchen Buddhist master Chogyal Namkhai Norbu, is a new translation of the ancient text also known as \u003ci\u003eThe Great Liberation through Hearing in the Intermediate State\u003c\/i\u003e.

This revision is distinguished in its inclusion of many articles relevant to women's issues and a greater emphasis on concrete legal problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaw\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eEthics \u0026amp; Professional Responsibility\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEducation \u0026amp; Teaching\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eSchools \u0026amp; Teaching\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feinberg, Joel,Gross, Hyman,Coleman, Jules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wadsworth Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 832\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780534584689\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wadsworth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261853065406,"sku":"0534584683-4","price":45.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/3116t3rtl4L._SL500_62bdbb21-dd31-4614-9826-cd443466ab3b.jpg?v=1754083353"},{"product_id":"0192892959","title":"How Are We to Live (Opus S)","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eSinger suggests that people who take an ethical approach to life often avoid the trap of meaninglessness, finding a deeper satisfaction in what they are doing than those people whose goals are narrower and more self-centered. He spells out what he means by an ethical approach to life and shows that it can bring about significant and far-reaching changes to one's life. How Are We to Live? explores the way in which standard contemporary assumptions about human nature and self-interest have led to a world that is fraught with social and environmental problems. Singer asks whether selfishness is in our genes and concludes that we do not have to accept the bleak view of human nature sometimes believed to be inevitable, given our evolutionary origins.\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\"\u003eEthics \u0026amp; Morality\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Singer, Peter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Revised ed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oxford Univ Pr\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 318\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780192892959\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Oxford Univ Pr","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261856309438,"sku":"0192892959-4","price":15.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/61MlGG8Fq9L.jpg?v=1754083389"},{"product_id":"0679406832","title":"Gift from the Sea: 70th Anniversary Edition","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver a quarter of a century after its first publication, the great and simple wisdom in this book continues to influence women's lives.\u003cbr\u003e\n                        \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn time for the holiday season--in an appropriate and enticing new format, and with a striking new jacket--a spectacular hardcover reissue of one of the most beloved books of our time.

From law and order, to mental health, to power and knowledge, he spearheaded public awareness of the dynamics that hold us all in thrall to a few powerful ideologies and interests.
