Logic Between the Lines: Making Philosophical Sense of Logic and Logical Sense of Philosophy aims to reintegrate the teaching of logic across the disciplines by presenting it in a strategic manner that combines formal aspects with teleological (purpose-driven) applications. It addresses the challenge of teaching logic in modern academia, where it has been fragmented and taught in various specialized forms across different departments. The book is organized into two main parts. Part I, Teleological Logic, explores logic's relevance in science, philosophy, and life, covering topics such as critical thinking, rhetoric, consciousness, objectivity, and moral dimensions. Part II, Formal Logic, delves into propositional logic, predicate logic, and other formal systems, discussing their underpinnings and applications in various fields. The essays included in the text provide readers with a healthy sample of the underlying philosophical richness of logic both on its own and in its relationship to human thought and life. Logic Between the Lines is suitable for higher education courses in philosophy, particularly those focusing on critical thinking and logic. It can serve as a standalone text for a critical thinking course that includes an introduction to formal logic or as a supplementary text alongside a more technical formal logic course.

The Life of Voltaire delves into the profound influence of Voltaire's ideas on the betterment of humanity during the eighteenth century. In an era when France was dominated by the authority of the Catholic Church, which stifled science, literature, and freedom, Voltaire stood as a singular force. This book explores how he fearlessly confronted the Church's intolerance, cruelty, and suppression of basic rights.Drawing from a diverse range of French and English sources on Voltaire, and enriched by extensive research, the book not only presents a compelling biography but also offers glimpses into the lives of key eighteenth-century figures who crossed paths with Voltaire.While accessible to general readers, this book provides in-depth insights into Voltaire's philosophical, religious, and literary contributions, examining his most significant works. Notably, it sheds light on his transformation from a literary giant into a staunch advocate for victims of injustice and a vocal opponent of the Catholic Church's dogmatism in the later years of his life.The book is a captivating journey through history, showcasing the enduring relevance of Voltaire's ideas and his pivotal role in shaping modern concepts of human rights and intellectual freedom.

Sometimes generally referred to as "the nones," agnostics, atheists, humanists, freethinkers, secularists and skeptics compose one of the fastest growing faith categories in the United States. Because they are treated as "nones," some people face discrimination as nonbelievers, despite their varied and strong beliefs, values and morals. This basic guide, "100 Questions and Answers About the Religiously Unaffiliated," describes the differences, explains why discrimination and laws force some to hide their beliefs and why they would like to shed the label of "nones." Religious freedom and the First Amendment's establishment clause come up frequently.The key issue for many is whether the First Amendment's guarantee of religious freedom also guarantees the right to be free from religion.Legal issues include school prayer, the obligation to support tax-exempt religious properties and requirements that people profess belief in God to be allowed to vote or hold office.Life magazine called Madalyn Murray O'Hair, whose lawsuit ended mandatory prayer in public schools, "the most hated woman in America." The Secular Coalition for America's website directory withheld the name of its communications consultant because "unwarranted prejudices and discriminatory practices ... affect atheists and humanists. Consequently, s/he felt it was best to be incognito for now, since working for an organization that protects the rights of nontheists might result in lost opportunities with other clients."In this guide's forward, Dr. Phil Zuckerman writes, "Understanding secular people is important for many reasons. For one thing, secular movements, leaders, values and ideals play significant roles in the political landscapes of the world. From the first sentence of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, to Article 20 of Japan's Constitution, from France's laïcité to Vietnam's atheistic dictatorship, and from the founding of the Mexican Republic to India's current political struggles, in many countries secularism is a central pillar of both stability as well as conflict."Additionally, secular men and women are often unjustly stigmatized as immoral scoundrels or angry curmudgeons - negative stereotypes that don't actually accord with reality yet prove to be both persistent and pernicious. For instance, in some societies, such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Malaysia, hatred and fear of the secular is so strong that those who don't believe in God can be imprisoned, tortured or even executed. Here in the United States, many state constitutions - such as those of Tennessee, Texas and Mississippi - currently outlaw anyone who doesn't believe in God from holding any publicly elected office."Dr. Morgan Shipley's introduction says, "For the more than 85 million Americans who identify as nonreligious, we witness a turn to secularization as both an explanation for the lack of belief and a source for fulfilling the areas of life commonly associated with religion, such as morality, togetherness and agency. For the nonreligious, then, we find more than a rejection of God and faith. Instead, we uncover various ways humans highlight virtue, pursue a sense of belongingness, celebrate progress and rely on rational discourse to construct meaningful and morally driven lives." Questions include:Who are "the nones?"Who is under the umbrella of the nonreligious?What is an atheist?Who are agnostics?What is secularism? Who are humanists?Who are freethinkers?What is irreligion?Are Pagans and Wiccans nonreligious?What does it mean to be spiritual but not religious?What values do nonreligious people hold? How does one respectfully console a nonreligious person?Do nonreligious people pray?

In der 1886 verfassten Vorrede zur Neuausgabe der Fröhlichen Wissenschaft schreibt Nietzsche über sich selbst: "Ein Philosoph, der den Gang durch viele Gesundheiten gemacht hat und immer wieder macht, ist auch durch ebenso viele Philosophien hindurchgegangen". Der vorliegende Band erschließt dieses ,Hindurchgegangensein' durch verschiedene Philosophien in einem bewusst weitgefassten Sinn: Die Beiträger*innen widmen sich aus wechselnden Perspektiven dem vielschichtigen Philosophieren Nietzsches selbst, seiner Auseinandersetzung mit anderen - älteren und zeitgenössischen - Philosophen und nicht zuletzt seiner weltweiten Nachwirkung in der Philosophie der Moderne.

Die Frage, ob es ein Leben nach dem Tod gebe, beschäftigt viele Menschen. Etliche Zeitgenossen vertreten die Ansicht: »Ja, ich glaube schon daran, aber wissen kann man es nicht. Schließlich ist noch keiner zurückgekommen, der uns davon berichten kann.«Bei dieser Meinung handelt es sich im Grunde allerdings um eine sinnbefreite Floskel. Richtig ist vielmehr, dass es heute einige absolut seriöse und zuverlässige Quellen gibt, denen man sehr umfassende Erkenntnisse über das, was der Mensch nach seinem Tod in den übersinnlichen Welten erlebt, erfährt und durchzumachen hat, entnehmen kann.Dieses Büchlein wendet sich an Leser, die sich bisher noch nicht intensiv mit diesem Thema befasst haben, die sich ihm vielleicht sogar erstmals nähern wollen, um eine erste Orientierung gewinnen zu können. Es werden einige wichtige Aspekte und Eckpfeiler, die das Leben nach dem Tod betreffen, erläutert. Auch wird zuvor noch der Blick auf einige andere geistige Wahrheiten geworfen, ohne die man das nachtodliche Leben nicht verstehen könnte. Zum Verständnis der Darstellungen sind keinerlei Vorkenntnisse vonnöten.

This book presents itself as a new transformative-emancipatory path: it attempts to reconcile the sphere of humanity, and particularly that of dignity, with the dimensions of conscience, vulnerability, and identity. These dimensions cross several cultural boundaries and encompass various theoretical hypotheses, in line with certain critical ontologies.Present society highlights increasing levels of inequality. Ethics should try to create constructivist bridges, which the author shows by a meta-ontological model, described in its «centripetal» inclination.If we do not respect ourselves, others, and the environment that hosts us, we will never be able to define ourselves as «human» beings, that is, beings endowed with «dignity». Any responsibility makes sense to the extent that this respect ¿ which we could include in the category of «taking care» ¿ constitutes the epistemological background of ethical lives.

Hvad er meningen med livet? Spørgsmålet er blevet stillet gang på gang, til alle tider og i alle kulturer. Er det at opfylde Guds plan, at udføre gode handlinger, at give og modtage kærlighed, at leve i øjeblikket – eller at tænke langsigtet og handle derefter? Svaret er ja på alle spørgsmål. Det afhænger bare af, hvem du spørger, hvornår du spørger dem, og ikke mindst hvordan du spørger.I Syv meninger med livet vender Thomas Hylland Eriksen blikket både udad og indad. Bogen er et destillat af tres års eksistens i en verden, der er blevet større for hvert år. Forfatteren fortæller på overraskende og finurlig vis om kaffe og katte, træer og taknemmelighed på en rejse, der tager læseren med fra oprindelige folk til naboen, fra antikkens store filosoffer til sofaen. Måske er det korrekt at sige, at livet ikke har nogen mening, men at det er meningsfuldt.”Hylland Eriksen skriver godt om værdien af at længes og om, hvordan overflodssamfundet skaber særegne eksistentielle udfordringer.” – NRKThomas Hylland Eriksen er professor i socialantropologi ved Universitetet i Oslo. Han har en omfattende faglig og faglitterær forfatterkarriere, med bøger der behandler emner som flerkulturel identitet, etnicitet, globalisering og nationalisme.

Hey! Do you like puzzles? Well, your life, my life, and reality itself are the grandest puzzles of all.I created six game boards that fit together in a very specific pattern that can help you learn about yourself, others, and the world.From the moment we enter this world we desire and need to connect. While we seek to connect with everything outside of ourselves, the need to connect with ourselves is paramount. We do this by discovering our core values.As we slowly connect to our bodies, we are also simultaneously learning to recognize and use patterns. Some of us do this faster than others. This is why we have the word intelligence. I use the word intelligence, instead of smart, because "smart" at one time only meant well dressed. That's the problem with words, unless we agree on what they mean in our current era, or understand that there is more than one word to describe the same thing (though perhaps not as accurately), we will never understand each other. Then when I use the phrase, "Let's get on the same page", you know I mean I want to make sure we are looking at the same thing, right?So, In the spirit of getting on the same page, I have a question. If we were to give the word "truth" a physical form or geometric shape (in order to account for all the variables of Truth), what shape could we agree it would be? And why that shape? I'm going to share with you why I chose a specific geometric shape to represent the one Truth we collectively share.

"Probabilities: An Aid to Faith" by Martin Farquhar Tupper is a thought-provoking work that explores the relationship between faith and probability. Let's delve into its content:Purpose and Approach:Tupper seeks to reconcile religious faith with rationality and evidence.He examines how probabilities can serve as aids to strengthen one's faith.Key Themes:Reason and Belief: Tupper argues that reason and faith are not mutually exclusive. Instead, they can complement each other.Evidence and Conviction: He discusses how probabilities, when understood and applied, can bolster religious convictions.Intellectual Engagement: The book encourages readers to engage intellectually with matters of faith.Chapters:The book likely covers topics such as the existence of God, miracles, and the reliability of religious texts.Specific chapters may explore historical evidence, philosophical arguments, and scientific reasoning.Legacy:"Probabilities: An Aid to Faith" contributes to the broader discourse on apologetics and the rational basis for religious belief.While some ideas may be dated, it remains a valuable historical perspective.Remember that Tupper's work reflects the intellectual climate of the mid-19th century, and reading it provides insight into the intersection of faith and reason during that era.

Over time, philosophers and historians of science have introduced different notions of 'ways of thinking'. This book presents, compares, and contrasts these different notions. It focuses primarily on Ian Hacking¿s idea of 'style of reasoning' in order to assess and develop it into a more systematic theory of scientific thought, arguing that Hacking¿s theory implies epistemic relativism. Luca Sciortino also discusses the implications of Hacking¿s ideas for the study of the problem of contingency and inevitability in the development of scientific knowledge

Immanuel Kants tænkning var oplysningstidens højdepunkt, måske er han faktisk den vigtigste moderne tænker overhovedet. Nu fejrer Information hans 300 års fødselsdag med en forrygende essaysamling. Kants filosofiske arbejde er så moderne, at det ikke giver mening, at søge ”tilbage” til Kants tænkning, for vi er stort set ikke kommet videre. I årene fra 1780 til 1790 gennemførte Immanuel Kant et så radikalt opgør med filosofien, at det i hans nekrolog stod skrevet, at hans revolution af tænkningen var større og væsentligere end Den Franske Revolution. I løbet af de ti år skrev han tre såkaldte kritikker, som er blevet fundament for den moderne moralfilosofi, erkendelsesteori og æstetiske tænkning, Kritik af den Rene Fornuft (anden udgave 1787), Kritik af den Praktiske Fornuft (1788) og Kritik af Dømmekraften (1790). I denne bog forklarer Rune Lykkeberg, Lea Ypi og en række andre markante tænkere Kants filosofi for et større publikum. Rune Lykkeberg (f. 1974) er chefredaktør på Dagbladet Information og udkom i henholdsvis 2022 og 2023 med første og anden sæson af Langsomme samtaler. Har tidligere udgivet Kampen om sandhederne (2008), Alle har ret (2012), Deutschstunde (red. s.m. Peter Nielsen, 2017), Vesten mod Vesten (2019), Hegel for et større publikum (red. 2020) og Samtaler om Shakespeare (2021). Han har bl.a. modtaget Georg Brandes-prisen, De Berlingske Journalisters Pris og Holbergmedaljen.

I hele Europa får det radikale højre stadig flere stemmer, mens uligheden stiger og venstrefløjen synes at have kollapset. I Den politiske konflikts historie spørger to af verdens førende økonomer, om vi er på vej ind i en ny politisk tidsalder? Og om venstrefløjen overhovedet kan komme til magten igen?Svaret hviler på et enormt datamateriale, som beskriver franske vælgeres adfærd fra Den Franske Revolution i 1789 og frem til i dag. Cagé og Piketty giver ikke alene et unikt historisk indblik i, hvordan demokrati fungerer, deres analyser danner også baggrund for nye perspektiver på fremtidens politiske konflikter.Her vil venstrefløjen, ifølge Cagé og Piketty, potentielt have et stærkt vælgergrundlag, hvis den kan opløse den nuværende territoriale konflikt mellem land og by og i stedet genetablere den sociale konflikt som sin egentlige opgave – både i Frankrig og hele den vestlige verdens demokratier.JULIA CAGÉ, professor ved Sciences Po Paris og forfatter til flere internationalt anerkendte udgivelser om økonomi, demokrati og medier, bl.a. Sauver les médias.THOMAS PIKETTY, professor ved École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales og Paris School of Economics, forfatter til flere internationale bestsellere om økonomi og ulighed, bl.a. hovedværkerne Kapitalen i det 21. århundrede og Kapital og Ideologi.

Erholung war alles, was es wollte, als sich ein schüchternes, unauffälliges Mädchen Anfang 20 zusammen mit einer Freundin auf den Weg nach Griechenland machte. Doch dann traf es dort auf einen jungen Animateur, der das Leben der jungen Frau auf den Kopf stellte und sie auf eine weitere, ganz besondere Reise schickte: Auf die Reise zu sich selbst. Und das alles anhand einer einfachen Liste. Niemals würde sie diesen Urlaub mehr vergessen und das nicht nur, weil es ihr erster war¿

An impassioned philosophical celebration of the multiple dimensions of contemporary cuteness.Involuntarily sucked into the forcefield of Cute, Amy Ireland and Maya B. Kronic decided to let go, give in, let the demon ride them, and make an accelerationism out of it—only to realize that Cute opens a microcosmic gate onto the transcendental process of acceleration itself.Joining the swarming e-girls, t-girls, NEETS, anons, and otaku who rescued accelerationism from the double pincers of media panic and academic buzzkill by introducing it to big eyes, fluffy ears, programming socks, and silly memes, they discover that the objects of cute culture are just spinoffs of an accelerative process booping us from the future, rendering us all submissive, breedable, helpless, and cute in our turn. Cute comes tomorrow, and only anastrophe can make sense of what it will have been doing to us.Evading all discipline, sliding across all possible surfaces, Cute Accelerationism embraces every detail of the symptomatology, aetiology, epidemiology, history, biology, etymology, topology, and even embryology of Cute, joyfully burrowing down into its natural, cultural, sensory, sexual, subjective, erotic, and semiotic dimensions in order to sound out the latent spaces of this Thing that has soft-soaped its way into human culture.Traversing tangents on natural and unnatural selection, runaway supernormalisation, the collective self-transformation of genderswarming cuties, the hyperstitional cultures of shojo and otaku, denpa and 2D love, and the cute subworlds of aegyo and meng, moé and flatmaxxing, catboys and dogon eggs, bobbles and gummies, vore machines and partial objects, BwOs and UwUs…glomping, snuggling, smooshing and squeeeeing their way toward the event horizon of Cute, donning cat ears and popping bubbles as they go, in this untimely philosophical intensification of an omnipresent phenomenon, having surrendered to the squishiest demonic possession, like, ever, two bffs set out in search of the transcendental shape of cuteness only to realize that, even though it is all around us, we do not yet know what Cute can do.Seriously superficial and bafflingly coherent, half erudite philosophical treatise, half dariacore mashup, 100 percent cutagion, this compact lil’ textual machine is a meltdown and a glow up, as well as a twizzled homage to Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus. Welcome to the kawaiizome: nothing uncute makes it out of the near future, and the cute will very soon no longer be even remotely human.

"Focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) and reproductive and genetic technologies (Repro-tech), Jude Browne asks who is politically responsible for the impacts of these transformative technologies and examines how we can respond to the societal challenges they pose in a way that is both politically feasible and socially responsible"--

En esta investigación se toman como objeto de estudio determinadas estructurassintácticas propias del español coloquial que aparecen en intervenciones reactivas y ocupan el mismo hueco funcional que los operadores modales de negación del español. Desde un punto de vista estructural, estas expresiones se originan a partir de oraciones completas (¿estamos locos?, anda yä) y a partir de sintagmas de distinto tipo que, en contextos reactivos, conforman enunciados independientes (ni de coña, un carajö).A pesar de que el contenido que portan estas unidades es fundamentalmente modal, también actúan en otros planos de la macroestructura textual, relacionados con el compromiso enunciativo del hablante o con su intencionalidad en cuanto al interlocutor, teniendo en consideración sus implicaciones argumentativas e informativas. Con el objetivo de realizar un análisis que dé cuenta de su multidimensionalidad, partimos de los presupuestos teóricos de la Macrosintaxis, desarrollada desde la Lingüística Pragmática.Esta investigación nos permite observar la lengua viva y documentar cómo esta se enriquece debido a la creatividad de los hablantes, en función de sus necesidades expresivas.
