Text of the page (random words):
and fair minded account of both the benefits and the drawbacks of social media for our era he attaches these evaluations to both the individual and to society as a whole the case studies are compelling and exhibit a keen awareness of the current moment how should we live now that many or even most of us are at least partially online campbell addresses this question from the point of view of privacy attention politics misinformation online ostracism online friendship and the potential benefits of simply quitting social media or at least some of its more pernicious platforms along the way campbell ties his discussions back to philosophical concerns raised by plato aristotle and xunzi among others he also connects his discussion with recent work in feminist philosophy and each chapter concludes with a succinct definition of key terms and suggested case studies and discussion topics that will engage students at all levels an impressive accomplishment and one that deserves a place in the classroom mark alfano macquarie university learn more add to cart applied epistemology gordon barnes human knowledge is fundamentally social most of the processes by which we acquire and evaluate information in everyday life giving and receiving testimony identifying experts and relying on them involve whole communities of people the successful use of knowledge to solve problems is thus most often a collective achievement likewise the failure to leverage knowledge is seldom the fault of a single individual beginning each chapter with a real life example applied epistemology demonstrates how various concepts of knowledge relate to problems arising in practical contexts from trusting testimony and recognizing experts to acknowledging bias and resisting propaganda applied epistemology teaches us how to use theories of knowledge to navigate our complex world learn more add to cart the hackett introduction to medical ethics matthew c altman and cynthia d coe the hackett introduction to medical ethics addresses key debates and analyzes prominent ethical perspectives on clinical medicine healthcare policy and human experimentation using numerous examples and case studies altman and coe apply value theory to contemporary medical practice and trace the repercussions for such philosophical issues as autonomy death and justice the book invites a range of readers to investigate urgent moral questions at the intersection of the body and social institutions free online resources include powerpoint lecture slides a sample syllabus links to case studies to help facilitate small group discussion and apply theoretical concepts and more with remarkable breadth and depth altman and coe provide up to date discussions of both classic bioethical issues such as informed consent and reproductive technologies and more recent developments in the field such as relational autonomy and the impact of racial disparities on healthcare the hackett introduction to medical ethics balances contemporary theory with clinical examples and cases in ways that will benefit both students and professionals in philosophy bioethics and healthcare jamie watson cleveland clinic center for bioethics and cleveland clinic lerner college of medicine learn more add to cart an introduction to utilitarianism richard yetter chappell darius meissner and william macaskill an introduction to utilitarianism from theory to practice is a state of the art text simultaneously accessible to introductory students and informative for more advanced readers two key features set it apart first its comprehensive coverage of the arguments for and against utilitarianism is unparalleled second it takes seriously the practical implications of utilitarianism for how we should live with a particular emphasis on utilitarianism s impartial beneficence and its focus on effectiveness guided by the conviction that practical ethics is more about how best to use our limited time and resources than which victims to hit with trolleys in thought experiments its practical upshots should prove amenable to utilitarians and non utilitarians alike learn more add to cart fear and trembling dialectical lyric søren kierkegaard translated with introduction and notes by alexander jech faithful to the original danish text and eminently readable jech s translation of fear and trembling admirably communicates the literary qualities of kierkegaard s text as well as his occasional fits of inspiration jech displays an unusual sensitivity not only to the literary linguistic qualities of kierkegaard s prose but also to his often realized aspirations to philosophical precision as presented by jech kierkegaard is not simply a gifted writer and speculative theologian dabbling in philosophy but a philosopher concerned to limn the optimal role of philosophical reflection and to do so experimentally especially with respect to matters of morality and faith the translation is furthermore supplemented by very helpful explanatory notes that convey kierkegaard s own erudition and the multiple influences upon his thinking the historical glossary will become a valuable reference tool for students and scholars of kierkegaard s writings it is likely to play a welcome role in encouraging an improved understanding of what kierkegaard means when he employs his idiosyncratic categories allusions and vocabulary daniel conway professor of philosophy and humanities texas a m university learn more add to cart treatise on the first principle john duns scotus translated with commentary by thomas m ward seeking what he describes as the utmost limit of the knowledge our natural reason can achieve concerning the true existence that is god john duns scotus 1265 1308 offers in this treatise one of philosophy s most rigorous and ambitious attempts to deduce god s existence from purely metaphysical theorems as elucidated by its concise philosophical commentary thomas m ward s new translation of the treatise on the first principle puts a masterpiece of natural theology within reach of a new generation of english reading students of philosophy a very useful volume the translation is clear faithful and eminently readable the commentary hits exactly the right level the writing is very clear the difficulties are not shirked but instead carefully faced and as an aid to study and comprehension of the text which is a difficult one it should be extremely valuable thomas williams isabelle a and henry d martin professor of medieval philosophy georgetown university learn more add to cart aristotle s dialectic aristotle translated with introduction and notes by c d c reeve aristotle s dialectic fits seamlessly with the other volumes in the new hackett aristotle series enabling anglophone readers to study these works in a way previously not possible the introduction describes the book that lies ahead explaining what it is about what it is trying to do and how it goes about doing it sequentially numbered cross referenced endnotes provide the information most needed at each juncture while a detailed index indicates the places where focused discussion of key notions occurs the topics and the sophistical refutations are the workshop in which the argumentative armory of aristotle s philosophy is forged they are not an easy read but for this very reason reeve s masterly translation which achieves fluidity without sacrificing rigor and lexical consistency is a most essential tool paolo fait tutorial fellow in classical philosophy new college university of oxford learn more add to cart meaning is everywhere language artificial intelligence society prashant parikh meaning is everywhere sketches a theory of meaning from the ground up with potentially profound consequences in a sweeping narrative that arcs from the origins of meaning through the emergence of present day science and technology prashant parikh offers a
