The A to Z of Kant and Kantianism - Vilem Mudroch - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

The A to Z of Kant and Kantianism - Vilem Mudroch - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Few philosophers stand out as boldly as Immanuel Kant. While he did not write as much as others, his principle works, Critique of Pure Reason, Critique of Practical Reason, and Critique of Judgment, are known worldwide. During his time, schools of Kantianism quickly sprang up and were later joined by schools of Neokantianism. Admittedly, not all of Kant''s concepts have aged well, but many are still taught among the basics of philosophy today and therefore must be known by every student. The A to Z of Kant and Kantianism provides a comprehensive dictionary that will aid not only students, but also teachers and the general public, since it contains hundreds of entries describing Kant''s life and works, and explaining his concepts as well as the contributions of his followers (and also some opponents). Furthermore, much of the writings of the Neokantians, as well as the literature dealing with this movement, are not available in English, thus, this book provides an introduction to this phenomenon to the English-language reader. Given the inevitable problems of language, the glossary is particularly helpful, while the bibliography makes the massive amounts of literature more accessible.

The Moral Philosophy of John Steinbeck - - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

The Moral Philosophy of John Steinbeck - - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

More than any other author of the Modern period of American literature, John Steinbeck evidenced a serious interest and background in moral philosophy. His personal reading collection included works ranging from Kant and Spinoza to Taoism and the Bible. Critics also consistently identify Steinbeck as an author whose work promotes serious moral reflection and whose characters undergo profound moral growth. Yet to date there has been no sustained examination of either John Steinbeck''s personal moral philosophy or the ethical features and content of his major works. This critical neglect is remedied by a collection of highly readable essays exploring the philosophy and work of one of America''s few Nobel Prize winning authors. These thirteen essays, written by experts both within philosophy and Steinbeck studies, examine almost all of Steinbeck''s major works. Included in the compilation are five general essays examining Steinbeck''s own moral philosophy and eight specific essays analyzing the ethics of various major works.

The A to Z of Feminist Philosophy - Catherine Villanueva Gardner - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

The A to Z of Feminist Philosophy - Catherine Villanueva Gardner - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Having only emerged in the past few decades, Feminist Philosophy is rapidly developing its own thrust in areas of particular importance to feminism—and women more generally—while also reevaluating and reshaping most other fields of philosophy, from ethics to logic and Marxism to environmentalism. It draws not only on feminist philosophers but criticizes, approves, or appropriates the work of the leading philosophers of all times. The introduction to this reference work provides a useful overview of the subject area and the chronology runs the gamut from Ancient Greek philosophers to contemporary feminist ones. The cross-referenced dictionary entries cover both the central figures and ideas from the historical tradition of philosophy, as well as ideas and theories from contemporary feminist philosophy, such as epistemology (the philosophy of science) and topics that have been introduced by the feminist movement itself, like abortion and sexuality. In addition to including entries on Aristotle, Plato, Descartes, Kant, Wollstonecraft, Beauvoir, and Daly, relevant aspects of other fields of philosophy, the major concepts, and prevailing interpretations and conjectures are also covered. A comprehensive bibliography allows for further reading.

The A to Z of Hume's Philosophy - Kenneth R. Merrill - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

The A to Z of Hume's Philosophy - Kenneth R. Merrill - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

The philosopher David Hume was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on April 26, 1711. Known for his re-thinking of causation, morality, and religion, Hume has left a lasting mark on history. James Madison, the "father" of the U.S. Constitution, drew heavily on Hume''s writing, especially his "Idea of Perfect Commonwealth," which combated the belief at the time that a large country could not sustain a republican form of government. Hume''s writing also influenced Adam Smith''s Wealth of Nations and the philosophy of Immanuel Kant. The A to Z of Hume''s Philosophy is the only Hume dictionary in existence. The book provides a substantial account of David Hume''s life and the times in which he lived, and it provides an overview of his philosophical doctrines. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over a hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries covering key terms, as well as brief discussions of Hume''s major works and of some of his most important predecessors, contemporaries, and successors.
