David Armstrong

by Stephen Mumford

~~43,66€~~ 34,93€ 20% OFF + 5% CARD

 David (D.M.) Armstrong is one of Australia''s greatest philosophers. His chief philosophical achievement has been the development of a core metaphysical program that covers the topics of universals, laws, modality, and facts - a naturalistic metaphysics, consistent with a scientific view of the natural world. Stephen Mumford offers an introduction to the full range of Armstrong''s thought. Beginning with a discussion of Armstrong''s naturalism - his most general commitment - and his realism about universals, Mumford then examines Armstrong''s theories of laws, modality, and dispositions, which are the basics of his core theory. With this in place, Mumford explores Armstrong''s ideas on perception, mind, and belief before returning to metaphysics in the final chapters, looking at truth and the new view of instantiation. The book is a dispassionate, fair, and unbiased account of Armstrong''s thought which considers the areas of weakness in his work while encouraging further debate.

Donald Davidson

by Marc A. Joseph

~~96,71€~~ 77,37€ 20% OFF + 5% CARD

 Donald Davidson''s work is of seminal importance in the development of the analytic tradition following Quine. His views on the nature of language, mind, and action occupy a prominent position in the philosophical literature and are a starting point for much of contemporary analytic philosophy. Davidson''s article "Truth and Meaning" helped shape the debate over the proper approach to the semantics of natural language, just as "Actions, Reasons, and Causes" redirected discussions in action theory. His essay "Mental Events" partially defines contemporary discussion in its field, presenting one of the live options in the philosophy of psychology. His views are, however, extremely complex, interconnecting with one another in a myriad of ways and reinforcing one another in a way that makes it very difficult for students to understand his thinking by reading one or two of his articles. In this introduction to Davidson''s philosophy Marc Joseph pulls together and examines Davidson''s writings, illuminating the challenge of his critique and showing how it departs from the analytic tradition in novel and exciting ways.
