Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Quantum Physics Meets the Philosophy of Mind: New Essays on the Mind-Body Relation in Quantum-Theoretical Perspective. Book.

Paperback. Condition: New. Quantum physics, in contrast to classical physics, allows non-locality and indeterminism in nature. Moreover, the role of the observer seems indispensable in quantum physics. In fact, quantum physics, unlike classical physics, suggests a metaphysics that is not physicalism (which is today's official metaphysical doctrine). As is well known, physicalism implies a reductive position in the philosophy of mind, specifically in its two core areas, the philosophy of consciousness and the philosophy of action. Quantum physics, in contrast, is compatible with psychological non-reductionism, and actually seems to support it. The essays in this book explore, from various points of view, the possibilities of basing a non-reductive philosophy of mind on quantum physics. In doing so, they not only engage with the ontological and epistemological aspects of the question but also with the neurophysiological ones.…

8° geb. Pappeinband. 374 S. Gebundener Pappeinband, 22 x 15 cm, sehr guter Zustand, wirkt ungelesen, annähernd neuwertig. Verlagstext: This book presents a comprehensive, non-model-theoretic theory of ontic necessity and possibility within a formal (and formalized) ontology consisting of states of affairs, properties, and individuals. Its central thesis is that all modalities are reducible to intrinsic (or 'logical') possibility and necessity if reference is made to certain states of affairs, called 'bases of necessity.' The viability of this Bases-Theory of Modality is shown also in the case of conditionals, including counterfactual conditionals. Besides the ontological aspects of the philosophy of modality, also the epistemology of modality is treated in the book. It is shown that the Bases-Theory of Modality provides a satisfactory solution to the epistemological problem of modality. In addition to developing that theory, the book includes detailed discussions of positions in the philosophy of modality maintained by Alvin Plantinga, David Lewis, Charles Chihara, Graeme Forbes, David Armstrong, and others. Among the themes treated are: possibilism vs. actualism; the theory of essences; conceivability and possibility; the nature of possible worlds; the nature of logical, nomological, and metaphysical possibility and necessity.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Das Jahrbuch bietet ein Forum fuer Veroeffentlichungen zu Klassikern der Philosophiegeschichte, fuer deren Interpretation bislang kaum die moderne formale Logik als Hilfsmittel herangezogen wurde. Indem die logische Analyse als methodisches Instrument bei der Interpretation angewendet wird, verschiebt sich der Schwerpunkt der philosophischen Interpretation von einer bislang vorherrschenden rein exegetischen Betrachtung hin zu einer systematischen Rekonstruktion einer Theorie mit Blick auf die leitenden Sachfragen eines Textes. Die systematische Rekonstruktion einer Theorie zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass auf der Basis des Textes Interpretationsmassnahmen plausibel gemacht werden, die es erlauben, einem Klassiker der Philosophiegeschichte eine systematische Theorie in bezug auf eine Sachfrage zuzuschreiben. Diese Theorie wird dann mit Hilfe der modernen Logik ausfuehrlich erlaeutert und konkretisiert. Durch diese Vorgehensweise koennen an einen klassischen Autor ganz neue Fragen gestellt werden, die dann im Rahmen der systematischen Rekonstruktion bearbeitet werden. Insgesamt verspricht diese Betrachtungsweise, ein neues Licht auf die Klassiker der Philosophiegeschichte zu werfen und diese dadurch fuer Sachfragen, die bis in die gegenwaertige Philosophie hinein sehr strittig sind, fruchtbar zu machen.
