Abstract

Hoera, wij zijn onvoorspelbaar! Je zou het niet direct verwachten, maar directeuren worden minder productief van grote bonussen. En als we een verwarrende reisbeschrijving hebben gekregen, lopen we meestal wel degelijk de goede kant op. Wraak is nergens goed voor, denken we, maar toch is het een van de belangrijkste drijvende krachten achter ons handelen. En er is een groot verschil tussen de dingen waarvan we verwachten gelukkig te worden, en de dingen waar we écht gelukkig van worden. Goed om te weten dus, en in Volmaakt onvoorspelbaar beschrijft Dan Ariely daarom de vóórdelen van irrationeel denken en handelen. Inzicht in onze onvoorspelbaarheid kan ons helpen om beter te werken, gemotiveerder aan de slag te gaan, meer succes te hebben met internetdaten, en ons leven meer te aanvaarden zoals het is. Ariely gebruikt zowel zijn onderzoeksresultaten als zijn persoonlijke ervaring om zo concreet en herkenbaar mogelijk te zijn. Dat maakt zijn boeken nuttig en scherp, en leuk om te lezen

Abstract

Is unethical conduct necessarily irrational? Answering this question requires giving an account of practical reason, of practical good, and of the source or point of wrongdoing. By the time most contemporary philosophers have done the first two, they have lost sight of the third, chalking up bad action to rashness, weakness of will, or ignorance. In this book, Candace Vogler does all three, taking as her guides scholars who contemplated why some people perform evil deeds. In doing so, she sets out to at once engage and redirect contemporary debates about ethics, practical reason, and normativity. Staged as a limited defense of a standard view of practical reason (an ancestor of contemporary instrumentalist views), Vogler's essay develops Aquinas's remark about three ways an action might be desirable into an exhaustive system for categorizing reasons for acting. Drawing on Elizabeth Anscombe's pioneering work on intention, Vogler argues that one sort (means/end or calculative reasons for acting) sets the terms for all sound work on practical rationality. She takes up Aquinas's work on evil throughout, arguing that he provides us with a systematic theory of immorality that takes seriously the goods at issue in wrongdoing and the reasons for unethical conduct. Vogler argues that, shorn of its theological context, this theory leaves us with no systematic, uncontroversial way of arguing that wrongdoing is necessarily contrary to reason.

Abstract

This book is the eagerly awaited fourth volume of Donald Davidson's philosophical writings. From the 1960s until his death in August 2003 the author was perhaps the most influential figure in English-language philosophy, and his work has had a profound effect upon the discipline. His unified theory of the interpretation of thought, meaning, and action holds that rationality is a necessary condition for both mind and interpretation. The author here develops this theory to illuminate value judgements and how we understand them; to investigate what the conditions are for attributing mental states to an object or creature; and to grapple with the problems presented by thoughts and actions which seem to be irrational.

Abstract

For the first time, medical systems of the Ancient Near East and the Greek and Roman world are studied side by side and compared. Early medicine in Babylonia, Egypt, the Minoan and Mycenean world; later medicine in Hippocrates, Galen, Aelius Aristides, Vindicianus, the Talmud. The focus is the degree of 'rationality' or 'irrationality' in the various ways of medical thought and treatment. Fifteen specialists contributed thoughtful and well-documented chapters on important issues.
