Conspicious among the various problems attempted is the controversial question of cognitivism in ethics. From the many projects and themes that run through the essays the following emerge most prominently: the elucidation of the ideas of truth, objectivity, subjectivity and intersubjectivity; the scope and limits of the attribution of the status of plain truth among the judgements of morals, politics and aesthetics; the part played in the fixation of the sense of evaluative language by the antecedent possibility of agreement in judgements and in sentiments; the irreplaceability and irreducibility for practical or valuational thinking of such ideas as those of need, self and metaphysical freedom. The collection comprises ten pieces altogether, including a new postscript and three previously unpublished essays. Essays already published have been edited and revised, and in some cases extended.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49508810457361,"sku":"GOR003535345","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0631175555.jpg?v=1751293980"},{"product_id":"psychoanalysis-mind-and-art-book-james-hopkins-9780631175711","title":"Psychoanalysis, Mind and Art","description":"Richard Wollheim's contributions to philosophy have ranged extraordinarily across aesthetics, mind and psychoanalysis. He is one of the few philosophers in the analytic tradition to have engaged, in detail, in questions of why events in life mean what they do and how such significance informs works of art. Psychoanalysis, Mind and Art attempts to do justice to the breadth of Wollheim's work in the fields of psychoanalysis, mind and the emotions, art and politics and values. Twenty distinguished authors have been invited to discuss, dissect and review his achievements in all these areas. The resulting collection is a testament to the importance of Wollheim's philosophy and a coherent examination of the enduring problems and possibilities of mind and art.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49559594631441,"sku":"GOR004968961","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0631175717.jpg?v=1750784236"},{"product_id":"moral-theory-and-anomaly-book-tom-sorell-9780631218340","title":"Moral Theory and Anomaly","description":"Moral Theory and Anomaly considers and rejects the claim that moral theory is too utopian to apply properly to worldly pursuits like political office holding and business, and too patriarchal and speciesist to generate a theory of justice applicable to women and the non-human natural world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50432335118609,"sku":"GOR013948568","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52341292663057,"sku":"NLS9780631218340","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0631218343.jpg?v=1751262326"},{"product_id":"quantum-non-locality-and-relativity-book-tim-maudlin-9780631232216","title":"Quantum Non-locality and Relativity","description":"Modern physics was born from two great revolutions: relativity and quantum theory. Relativity imposed a locality constraint on physical theories: since nothing can go faster than light, very distant events cannot influence one another. Only in the last few decades has it become clear that quantum theory violates this constraint. The work of J. S. Bell has demonstrated that no local theory can return the predictions of quantum theory. Thus it would seem that the central pillars of modern physics are contradictory. Quantum Non-Locality and Relativity examines the nature and possible resolution of this conflict. Beginning with accurate but non-technical presentations of Bell's work and of Special Relativity, there follows a close examination of different interpretations of relativity and of the sort of locality each demands. The story continues with a brief discussion of the General Theory of Relativity. This second edition also includes a new author's preface and an additional appendix. The book introduces philosophers to the relevant physics and demonstrates how philosophical analysis can help to resolve some of the problems. All of the physics is presented from first principles, and as much as possible is presented pictorially.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50487350690065,"sku":"CIN0631232214VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51423009800465,"sku":"CIN0631232214G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0631232214.jpg?v=1750699958"},{"product_id":"minds-causes-and-mechanisms-book-josep-corb-9780631218029","title":"Minds, Causes and Mechanisms","description":"Minds, Causes, and Mechanisms questions the internal consistency of causal physicalism, and vindicates a novel approach to mental causation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52334647181585,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52334647804177,"sku":"NLS9780631218029","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780631218029.jpg?v=1758157538"},{"product_id":"identity-truth-and-value-book-sabina-lovibond-9780631220688","title":"Identity, Truth and Value","description":"This collection of essays was presented to David Wiggins to mark his 60th birthday and his accession to the Wykeham Chair of Logic at Oxford. The contributors, who include both long-established and younger writers, take up some of the many important philosophical debates on which Wiggins has made an impact. Their chosen topics range from ancient philosophy to contemporary questions in ethics, metaphysics and the theory of meaning. An attractive feature of the volume is that it contains Wiggins's comments on each of the papers, and so offers an accessible guide to his present thinking.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52334660714769,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52334661337361,"sku":"NLS9780631220688","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780631220688.jpg?v=1758157570"},{"product_id":"moral-theory-and-anomaly-book-tom-sorell-9780631218333","title":"Moral Theory and Anomaly","description":"Moral Theory and Anomaly considers and rejects the claim that moral theory is too utopian to apply properly to worldly pursuits like political office holding and business, and too patriarchal and speciesist to generate a theory of justice applicable to women and the non-human natural world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53069570933009,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53069570998545,"sku":"NGR9780631218333","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780631218333.jpg?v=1769555864"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/collections\/aristotelian-society-monographs-buchreihe.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
