Abstract

Robert Kilwardby on the Human Soul is the first in-depth study on Kilwardby’s contribution to the thirteenth-century philosophical and theological debate on the nature of the soul and its relation with the body. The book examines his innovative approach to the plurality of substantial forms in the human person and argues against the traditional interpretation of the Prohibitions of 1277 in Oxford as being directed to Thomas Aquinas. The investigation into Kilwardby’s theory of knowledge provides new insight on his project to integrate Aristotelian and Augustinian doctrines. The originality of his account of the active nature of perception and his role in shaping standard views on truth, universals and intentions bespeaks of his relevance for understanding later medieval philosophical thought.

Abstract

This work advances a theory in the metaphysics of phenomenal consciousness, which the author labels "e-physicalism". Firstly, he endorses a realist stance towards consciousness and physicalist metaphysics. Secondly, he criticises Strong AI and functionalist views, and claims that consciousness has an internal character. Thirdly, he discusses HOT theories, the unity of consciousness, and holds that the "explanatory gap" is not ontological but epistemological. Fourthly, he argues that consciousness is not a supervenient but an emergent property, not reducible and endowed with original causal pow

Abstract

Current patterns of global economic activity are not only unsustainable, but unethical - this claim is central to Materialist Ethics and Life-Value. Grounding the definition of ethical value in the natural and social requirements of life-support and life-development shared by all human beings, Jeff Noonan provides a new way of understanding the universal conception of "the good life." Noonan argues that the true crisis affecting the world today is not sluggish rates of economic growth but the model of measuring economic and social health in terms of money-value. In response, he develops an alternative understanding of good societies where the breadth and depth of life-activity and enjoyment are dependent on dominant institutions. The more social institutions satisfy the necessary requirements of human life, the more they empower each person to develop and enjoy the capacities that make human life valuable and meaningful. A well-reasoned synthesis of traditional philosophical concerns and contemporary critiques of global capitalism, this book is a forward-looking treatise that defends political struggle and reconsiders what is most important for a happy life.

Abstract

Diese Abhandlung verteidigt gegen die heute vorherrschenden realistischen Interpretationen des kantischen transzendentalen Idealismus eine anti-realistische Zwei-Welten-Interpretation. Durch konkrete Textanalysen wird gezeigt, dass die realistische Interpretation an der Antinomienlehre und dem vierten Paralogismus (A) scheitern muss, während die anti-realistische Interpretation erlaubt, die Kritik der reinen Vernunft im Ganzen zu einer kohärenten Sinneinheit zu strukturieren. Anschließend wird der konkrete Gehalt von Kants anti-realistischer Ontologie der raumzeitlichen Wirklichkeit erhellt. Dafür entwickelt der Verfasser eine intuitionistische Wahrheitskonzeption (ein empirisches Gegenstück der Wahrheitskonzeption des mathematischen Intuitionismus), kombiniert mit der Superassertibilität à la Crispin Wright. Die von Michael Dummett bereit gestellte Begrifflichkeit "Realismus/Anti-Realismus‟ erweist sich als fruchtbar nicht nur für die Analyse der kantischen Position selbst, sondern auch für ein klares Verständnis der mannigfaltigen Interpretationsansätze des transzendentalen Idealismus.

Abstract

The type identity theory, according to which types of mental state are identical to types of physical state, fell out of favour for some years but is now being considered with renewed interest. Many philosophers are critically re-examining the arguments which were marshalled against it, finding in the type identity theory both resources to strengthen a comprehensive, physicalistic metaphysics and a useful tool in understanding the relationship between developments in psychology and new results in neuroscience. This volume brings together leading philosophers of mind, whose essays challenge in new ways the standard objections to type identity theory, such as the multiple realizability objection and the modal argument. Other essays show how cognitive science and neuroscience are lending new support to type identity theory and still others provide, extend and improve traditional arguments concerning the theory's explanatory power.

Abstract

Origen of Alexandria (c. 185-245), a catechist, presbyter, and confessor of the ancient Church was a foundational figure in the establishment of early Christian theology. Today he is commonly referred to as "the first Christian theologian" and is widely known as a master of biblical exegesis, rational inquiry, and spiritual formation. Yet his legacy remains somewhat ambiguous in part because of the posthumous condemnation of certain propositions from his works. Become Like the Angels explores Origen's legacy and, in particular, his teachings about the origin, nature, and destiny of the human person. By way of a historical critical approach, Benjamin P. Blosser discusses the influence of Middle Platonic philosophy on the human soul and then compares it with Origen's teaching.This study finds that, while Origen was highly aware of Middle Platonic speculations on the soul and does borrow extensively from their vocabulary, he never accepts their underlying, philosophical assumptions and is in fact subtly critical of Middle Platonic theories of the soul. His anthropology remains from first to last a biblical, Christian, and even mystical one, the fruit of a remarkable effort to synthesize faith and reason in the ancient Church.

Abstract

Was sind platonische Ideen? Welche sachliche Notwendigkeit gibt es für die Annahme solcher Entitäten? In welchem Verhältnis stehen sie zu der menschlichen Seele? Diese Fragen stehen im Mittelpunkt des Buches. Ausgehend von der zweiten Fahrt im Phaidon werden die Ideen als denkbare Bestimmtheiten interpretiert, die in ihrer Gesamtheit ein vollkommen differenziertes Geflecht all dessen bilden, was in welthaftem Werden überhaupt seinsmöglich ist. Im Fortgang geht es darum, wie wir Erkenntnis von den Ideen erlangen und welche seelischen Fähigkeiten dabei beansprucht werden. Hier stehen der 7. Brief und die Anamnesis-Lehre im Vordergrund. Theoretische Erkenntnis der Ideen ist nicht unabhängig vom praktischen Lebensvollzug: Theorie und Praxis bilden in der platonischen Philosophie eine untrennbare Einheit. Warum das so ist, wird ausgehend von der Tugendlehre in Politeia IV erklärt. Auf dieser Grundlage der theoretischen und praktischen Aspekte von Platons Philosophie wird ein einheitlicher Begriff von Seele entwickelt: Das Geflecht der denkbaren Ideen wird als absolutes Denken ausgelegt, die Seele ist ein Abbild dieses Denkens. Die Seele verwirklicht als Prinzip zeitlichen Werdens die Seinsmöglichkeiten in der Welt.
