Baruch de Spinoza (1632-1677) wordt algemeen beschouwd als de invloedrijkste filosoof die ons land ooit heeft gekend. Spinoza’s levenswerk, de ‘Ethica’, is een van de belangrijkste, maar ook een van de moeilijkste filosofische teksten die ooit geschreven zijn. In de ‘Ethica’ onderzoekt Spinoza op welke manier de mens zijn vrijheid kan verwerven – een voor die tijd revolutionaire boodschap. Maarten van Buuren is uitgegaan van een nauwkeurige analyse van Spinoza’s terminologie. Dat h...

Whatever benefits and rewards it may sometimes be possible to attain by bullshitting, by dissembling, or by sheer mendacity, societies cannot afford to tolerate anyone or anything that fosters a slovenly indifference to the distinction between true and false. In a world of spin, rhetoric, blagging and bullshitting, a basic level of scepticism and the impulse to question first impressions is widely considered a virtue. Yet the very purpose of such caution - the discernment of truth - has for some...

'Grayling brings satisfying order to daunting subjects' Steven Pinker _________________________ In very recent times humanity has learnt a vast amount about the universe, the past, and itself. But through our remarkable successes in acquiring knowledge we have learned how much we have yet to learn: the science we have, for example, addresses just 5 per cent of the universe; pre-history is still being revealed, with thousands of historical sites yet to be explored; and the new neurosciences of mi...

An invitation to readers from every walk of life to rediscover the impractical splendors of a life of learning In an overloaded, superficial, technological world, in which almost everything and everybody is judged by its usefulness, where can we turn for escape, lasting pleasure, contemplation, or connection to others? While many forms of leisure meet these needs, Zena Hitz writes, few experiences are so fulfilling as the inner life, whether that of a bookworm, an amateur astronomer, a birdwatch...

When it first appeared in 1979, Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature hit the philosophical world like a bombshell. In it, Richard Rorty argued that, beginning in the seventeenth century, philosophers developed an unhealthy obsession with the notion of representation: comparing the mind to a mirror that reflects reality. Rorty's book is a powerful critique of this imagery and the tradition of thought that it spawned. Today, the book remains a must-read and stands as a classic of twentieth-century ...

Baruch de Spinoza (1632-1677) wordt algemeen beschouwd als de beroemdste en invloedrijkste filosoof die ons land ooit heeft gekend. In zijn bekendste werk, de Ethica, onderzoekt Spinoza op welke manier de mens zijn vrijheid kan verwerven, een voor die tijd revolutionaire boodschap. Spinoza is even ingewikkeld als beroemd. Zijn Ethica geldt als onleesbaar. In Spinoza, filosoof van de vrijheid werpt Maarten van Buuren een verhelderend licht op Spinoza's moeilijk te doorgronden filosofie. Hij toont...

In this book, Ernest Sosa explains the nature of knowledge through an approach originated by him years ago, known as virtue epistemology. Here he provides the first comprehensive account of his views on epistemic normativity as a form of performance normativity on two levels. On a first level is found the normativity of the apt performance, whose success manifests the performer's competence. On a higher level is found the normativity of the meta-apt performance, which manifests not necessarily f...

SUNDAY TIMES, NEW STATESMAN and TLS BOOKS OF THE YEAR At the heart of all human experience lies our obsession with death. For many years we turned to religion for answers, but with the twentieth century came ideas from evolution and politics to suggest that our lives - and afterlives - were in our own hands. Such ideas went on to have both trivial and terrible effects: from a sweeping craze of séances to the mass-murders of the Stalinist terror. Gray raises vital questions about the 'truths' sc...

Already a classic, this landmark account of early Western thought now appears in a new edition with expanded coverage of the Middle Ages.

The book invites comparison with Bertrand Russell's monumental History of Western Philosophy , "but Gottlieb's book is less idiosyncratic and based on more recent scholarship" (Colin McGinn, Los Angeles Times ). A...
