How Reason Almost Lost Its Mind
The Strange Career of Cold War Rationality
AvPaul Erickson,Judy L. Kleinm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2013
830 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
In the United States at the height of the Cold War, roughly between the end of World War II and the early 1980s, a new project of redefining rationality commanded the attention of sharp minds, powerful politicians, wealthy foundations, and top military brass. Its home was the human sciences - psychology, sociology, political science, and economics, among others - and its participants enlisted in an intellectual campaign to figure out what rationality should mean and how it could be deployed. How Reason Almost Lost Its Mind brings to life the people - Herbert Simon, Oskar Morgenstern, Herman Kahn, Anatol Rapoport, Thomas Schelling, and many others - and places, including the RAND Corporation, the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, the Cowles Commission for Research and Economics, and the Council on Foreign Relations, that played a key role in putting forth a "Cold War rationality." Decision makers harnessed this picture of rationality - optimizing, formal, algorithmic, and mechanical - in their quest to understand phenomena as diverse as economic transactions, biological evolution, political elections, international relations, and military strategy.The authors chronicle and illuminate what it meant to be rational in the age of nuclear brinkmanship.

Kant and the Systematicity of the Sciences

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book provides the first comprehensive discussion regarding the role that Kant ascribes to systematicity in the sciences. It considers not only what Kant has to say on systematicity in general, but also how the systematicity requirement for science is specified in different fields of knowledge.The chapters are divided into three thematic sections. Part I is devoted to historical context. The chapters explore precursors of Kant’s account of the systematicity of the sciences. Part II addresses the application of systematicity to the special sciences – cosmology, physics, chemistry, logic, mathematics, the life sciences, and history. Finally, Part III explores the systematicity of philosophy.Kant and the Systematicity of the Sciences will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working on Kant and the history and philosophy of science.

Psychology's Territories
Historical and Contemporary Perspectives From Different Disciplines
AvMitchell Ash,Thomas Sturm
Inbunden, Engelska, 2007
1 551 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
What are the conceptual and practical territories of psychology? How have the boundaries of psychological thought, research and practice developed in history, and how might they be renegotiated today? This volume presents new approaches to these questions, resulting from a three-year collaboration among internationally known psychologists, neuroscientists, social scientists, and historians and philosophers of science from Germany and the United States under the auspices of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The authors reflect critically on past and present views of psychology by focusing on three broad topic areas: How have psychological concepts been used in disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, or neuroscience, as well as daily life? Has the use of instruments in psychological research expanded or restricted the discipline’s reach? And, how have psychological thinking and research worked in practical contexts? The volume investigates separations between, as well as interactions among, psychology and its neighboring fields and tries to overcome disciplinary distinctions in exemplary ways. The contributions aim to make historical and philosophical studies of psychology relevant to contemporary concerns, and to show how psychology can profit from better interdisciplinary cooperation–thus improving mutual understanding between different scientific cultures.

Nationalism and Populism
Emotion, Reason, and the Crisis of Contemporary Democracy
AvThomas Sturm,Sabine Döring
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
2 487 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This volume explores the connections between emotions and rationality in relation to the rising tide of nationalism in the European Union and globally. It brings together leading experts in philosophy, psychology, political theory, and sociology to provide interdisciplinary perspectives on this timely topic.This volume starts from the hypothesis that certain political emotions—such as feelings of being disrespected or left behind—are complex cognitive‑emotional attitudes often wedded to nationalism. Currently, people who harbor these feelings are frequently critical of transnational projects. This volume presents new interdisciplinary research on the ways in which these feelings feed nationalistic fervour and how emotions affect or even undermine rational discourse in politics. Part I focuses on distinguishing kinds of nationalism, their resurgence, and on the use of grievances and resentful politics as governing strategies. Part II moves toward a discussion of knowledge, democracy and populism and a case study of political reasoning in the Catalan independence conflict. In Part III, authors discuss how emotional processes fuel nationalism through the exploitation of anger and fear. Part IV closes this volume reflecting how populism and nationalism challenge transnational projects and organizations, such as the European Union.Nationalism and Populism: Emotions, Reason, and the Crisis of Contemporary Democracy will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in political philosophy, philosophy of emotion and rationality, political theory, cognitive, social and political psychology, and political sociology.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book presents, for the first time in English, a comprehensive anthology of essays on Christian Wolff's psychology written by leading international scholars. Christian Wolff is one of the towering figures in 18th-century Western thought. In the last decades, the publication of Wolff's Gesammelte Werke by Jean École and collaborators has aroused new interest in his ideas, but the meaning, scope, and impact of his psychological program have remained open to close and comprehensive analysis and discussion. That is what this volume aims to do.This is the first volume in English completely devoted to Wolff's efforts to systematize empirical and rational psychology, against the background of his understanding of scientific method in metaphysics. Wolff thereby paved the way to the very idea of a scientific psychology. The book is divided into two parts. The first one covers the theoretical and historical meaning and scope of Wolff's psychology, both in its internal structure and in its relation to other parts of his philosophical system, such as logic, cosmology, aesthetics, or practical philosophy. The second part deals with the reception and impact of Wolff's psychology, starting with early reactions from his disciples and opponents, and moving on to Kant, Hegel, and Wundt.The Force of an Idea: New Essays on Christian Wolff's Psychology shows not only that Wolff's psychological ideas have been misinterpreted, but also that they are historically more significant than traditional wisdom has it. The book, therefore, will be of interest to historians and philosophers of science, historians of philosophy and psychology, as well as to philosophers and psychologists interested in understanding the roots of scientific psychology in 18th and 19th century German philosophy.

Why Does History Matter to Philosophy and the Sciences?
Selected Essays

What are the relationships between philosophy and the history of philosophy, the history of science and the philosophy of science? This selection of essays by Lorenz Krüger (1932-1994) presents exemplary studies on the philosophy of John Locke and Immanuel Kant, on the history of physics and on the scope and limitations of scientific explanation, and a realistic understanding of science and truth. In his treatment of leading currents in 20th century philosophy, Krüger presents new and original arguments for a deeper understanding of the continuity and dynamics of the development of scientific theory. These result in significant consequences for the claim of the sciences that they understand reality in a rational manner. The case studies are complemented by fundamental thoughts on the relationship between philosophy, science, and their common history.

Wie sind Philosophie und Philosophiegeschichte, Wissenschaftsgeschichte und Wissenschaftstheorie aufeinander bezogen?

Diese Auswahl von Essays von Lorenz Krüger (1932-1994) präsentiert exemplarische Studien zur Philosophie John Lockes und Immanuel Kants, zur Geschichte der Physik, sowie zu den Möglichkeiten und Grenzen wissenschaftlicher Erklärung und einer realistischen Auffassung von Wissenschaft und Wahrheit. In Auseinandersetzung mit führenden philosophischen Richtungen des 20. Jahrhunderts präsentiert Krüger neue und originelle Argumente für ein vertieftes Verständnis von Kontinuität und Dynamik wissenschaftlicher Theorieentwicklung. Daraus ergeben sich bedeutsame Konsequenzen für den Anspruch der Wissenschaften, die Wirklichkeit auf rationale Weise zu verstehen. Die Fallstudien werden ergänzt durch grundsätzliche Überlegungen zum Verhältnis zwischen der Philosophie, den Wissenschaften und ihrer gemeinsamen Geschichte.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Automated Deduction in Geometry, ADG 2008, held in Shanghai, China in September 2008. The 11 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous initial submissions for the workshop during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers show the lively variety of topics and methods and the current applicability of automated deduction in geometry to different branches of mathematics such as discrete mathematics, combinatorics, and numerics; symbolic and numeric methods for geometric computation, and geometric constraint solving. Further issues are the design and implementation of geometry software, special-purpose tools, automated theorem provers - in short applications of ADG to mechanics, geometric modeling, CAGD/CAD, computer vision, robotics and education.

Eine Analyse Neorealistischer Erzaehlungen ALS Beitrag Zu Einer Diskussion Der Chinesischen Literaturwissenschaft
AvThomas Sturm
Häftad, Tyska, 2000
608 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Die neorealistische Erzählung wurde Ende der achtziger und Anfang der neunziger Jahre in der Volksrepublik China als möglicher Kompromiß zwischen Realismus und Avantgarde diskutiert. Ausgehend vom literarhistorischen Kontext arbeitet die Arbeit den literaturtheoretischen Neorealismus-Begriff auf. Seine Kernpunkte werden in einer Analyse repräsentativer Erzählungen überprüft. Während sich die inhaltlichen Attribute in den untersuchten Texten weitgehend nachweisen lassen, bestätigt die Analyse die erzähltechnischen Merkmale des Begriffs ausdrücklich nicht. Der Begriff der neorealistischen Erzählung ist damit nur bedingt aussagekräftig, die absolut formulierte Abgrenzung gegen die chinesische Realismustradition erweist sich als nur relativ.
