O objetivo desta obra é averiguar o estatuto da ciência cognitiva em sua formação, mais especificamente, entre os anos de 1940 e 1970. Teria ela começado como pré-ciência ou já teria se estabelecido como ciência normal? Para responder a essa questão, os autores apresentam o surgimento dessa área de pesquisa em dois contextos: histórico e epistemológico. Feito isso, analisam, com base no arcabouço conceitual da Estrutura das Revoluções Científicas de Thomas Kuhn, o estatuto científico da ciência cognitiva em sua fase inicial.

In many discussions of ancient philosophy, teleology is acknowledged as an important theme. How do we act for a particular end or purpose? One common answer describes humans as acting with the intention of achieving a goal. A person selects particular actions with the thought that these actions will lead to that goal. Andrew Payne accepts that this is one good answer to our question but proposes that it is not the only one. In Plato's Republic, Socrates appeals to a different understanding of how humans act for the sake of ends as they live together in political communities and pursue knowledge. As they carry out activities that are necessary for human flourishing, their actions can produce unintended results that signal the full completion of human capacities. For example, performing the actions of a just individual can help promote the establishment of a just society as an unintended result. Such unintended results qualify as ends or purposes of human action. This volume fully explores this functional teleology of action in Plato's Republic.

Pluralistische Wissenschaftstheorie ist kein etabliertes Format. Herkömmliche Darstellungen nehmen meist die Perspektive einer einzelnen Ausprägung von Wissenschaft ein, verbunden mit impliziten Wertungen und unbefragten Präferenzen. So belasten Kämpfe um Deutungshoheit notorisch die kooperative Forschung. Werner Kogge entfaltet demgegenüber den Ansatz, dass unterschiedliche Typen von Wissenschaften gleichberechtigt koexistieren. Es gibt weder eine hierarchische Staffelung noch eine evolutionäre Entwicklungslinie. Mit dieser Pluralität geht eine Interdisziplinarität einher, die strukturell, modular und praxisbezogen ist.

Broken Theory is a jettisoned collection of fragmentary writing, collected and collaged by new media artist, writer, musician, and theorist Alan Sondheim. Folding theoretical musings, text experiments, and personal confessions into a single textual flow, it examines the somatic foundations of philosophical theory and theorizing, discussing their relationships to the writer and body, and to the phenomenology of failure and fragility of philosophy’s production. Writing remains writing, undercuts and corrects itself, is always superseded, always produced within an untoward and bespoke silo – not as an inconceivable last word, but instead a broken contribution to philosophical thinking. The book is based on fragmentation and collapse, displacing annihilation and wandering towards a form of “roiling” within which the text teeters on the verge of disintegration. In other words, the writing develops momentary scaffoldings – writing shored up by the very mechanisms that threaten its disappearance.Broken Theory is prefaced by a text from Maria Damon and followed by an extensive interview with art historian Ryan Whyte.
