Abstract

This book presents a systemic analysis of Spinoza’s philosophy and challenges the traditional views. It deals with Spinoza’s concepts of substance, truth conditions, attributes, and the first, second, and supreme grades of knowledge. Based upon an analysis of the relevant details in all of Spinoza’s philosophical works, the book reveals many important points, including the following: Spinoza’s system is not, nor is meant to be, a foundational-deductive system but was meant to be a coherent system of a network model. Spinoza’s reality is not made in the image of a mathematical model. Imaginatio, the first grade of knowledge, and ratio, the second grade, are parts or properties of the supreme grade of knowledge, scientia intuitiva, which is their essence. Finite beings, especially humans, are necessary and eternal (unless they are mistakenly perceived by imaginatio) whereas time, place, and death are simply “entities of imagination.” The salvation, happiness, and blessedness that Spinoza’s Ethics offers us, are active and depend only upon us. Concluding a careful examination and interpretation, the book suggests additional novel viewpoints in interpreting Spinoza’s philosophical psychology and political philosophy. .

Abstract

This book presents the origins of Central and Eastern European phenomenology. It features chapters that explore the movement's development, its most important thinkers, and its theoretical and historical context. This collection examines such topics as the realism-idealism controversy, the status of descriptive psychology, the question of the phenomenological method, and the problem of the world. The chapters span the first decades of the development of phenomenology in Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, Russia, and Yugoslavia before World War II. The contributors track the Brentanian heritage of the development. They show how this tradition inspired influential thinkers like Celms, Špet, Ingarden, Frank, Twardowski, Patočka, and others. The book also puts forward original investigations. Moreover it elaborates new accounts of the foundations of phenomenology. While the volume begins with the Brentanian heritage, it situates phenomenology in a dialogue with other important schools of thought of that time, including the Prague School and Lvov-Warsaw School of Logic. This collection highlights thinkers whose writings have had only a limited reception outside their home countries due to political and historical circumstances. It will help readers gain a better understanding of how the phenomenological movement developed beyond its start in Germany. Readers will also come to see how the phenomenological method resonated in different countries and led to new philosophical developments in ontology, epistemology, psychology, philosophy of culture, and philosophy of religion.

Abstract

Het Vlaamse onderwijs krijgt het in de media hard te verduren. Geen enkel land gaat even hard achteruit in internationale vergelijkingen. Onze kinderen hebben een jaar langer nodig om evenveel te leren als twintig jaar geleden. Basisvaardigheden zijn niet langer gegarandeerd en zowel gelijke kansen als economische welvaart worden bedreigd.Wat kunnen we hieraan doen? Worden we de eerste generatie in de Vlaamse geschiedenis die minder slim is dan de vorige? Hoe werkt ons brein en wat betekent dat voor onze klassen? Hoe bereiden we onze kinderen het beste voor op de toekomst? Wat moeten ze leren op school?In dit boek bepleit Wouter Duyck een terugkeer naar de basis van ons denken: cognitieve basisvaardigheden, lezen en rekenen. Hij bespreekt het belang van kennis, de invloeden van intelligentie en afkomst, welke onderwijsrecepten werken en welke niet. Vanuit de hersenwetenschap legt hij uit hoe ons onderwijs er moet uitzien.Duyck trekt ten strijde tegen de zesjescultuur, waarbij lage verwachtingen leiden tot armoede. Alleen een herstel van intellectuele ambitie kan zorgen voor slimmere, gelukkige, welvarende burgers. Ons denken moet opnieuw de motor worden van een betere wereld.https://www.pelckmansuitgevers.be/mijn-kind-slim-kind.html

Abstract

Premodern societies believed in something sacred that obliged unconditionally. Modern societies rely on fallible science. Do they also need something absolute, a secular sacred? Steinvorth analyzes the writings of modern philosophers who claim that there is an absolute norm: the norm to be rational and authentic. In his view, their claim is true if it is reinterpreted. The norm is not moral, as it was thought to be, but metaphysical, and authenticity is not self-realization, but doing things for their own sake. In discussing the pros and cons of philosophical claims on absolutes, this book spreads out the rich pool of philosophical ideas and clarifies urgent contemporary questions about what can be demanded with universal validity. It argues this is not only the principle of justice, not to harm, but also a metaphysical principle by which to find meaning in life. Moreover, it points to some consequences this principle has in politics.

Abstract

This book explores Iris Murdoch as a philosopher who, through her distinctive methodology, exploits the advantages of having a mind on the borders of literature and politics in her early career writings (pre-The Sovereignty of Good). By focusing on a single decade of Murdoch's early career, Jamieson tracks connections between her views on the state of literature and politics in postwar Britain and her approach to the philosophy of mind and moral philosophy. Furthermore, this close study reveals that, far from a stylistic quirk, Murdoch's use of metaphors, analogies, and other literary devices is internal to her methodology. Finally, rather than asking what Murdoch's views are, this work will ask "what is Murdoch trying to achieve with her writings and public lectures, and how does she go about this?" By answering the latter question, we will have a new strategy for interpreting her writings more generally. The book contributes to the growing body of scholarship focusing on Iris Murdoch's philosophical writings, and on women in the history of analytic philosophy. Lesley Jamieson is a researcher at the Centre for Ethics as Study in Human Value, Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, University of Pardubice, Czech Republic.

Abstract

De denkende klas stimuleert leraren en pedagogen het denken een plaats te geven in onderwijs en opvoeding en hun klassen te veranderen in 'denkende klassen'. Ons onderwijs is vooral ingericht op het reproduceren van kennis. Echter, die kennis gaat pas werkelijk iets voor onze leerlingen en studenten betekenen wanneer ze erover kunnen nadenken. Diep denken vraagt dat ze zelf vragen stellen en over die vragen doordenken, om zo actief kennis te maken. Diepe kennis heeft meer betekenis, en bevordert creativiteit. Het boek geeft tal van praktijkvoorbeelden van motiverende denkoefeningen.https://www.lannoo.be/nl/de-denkende-klas
