Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Chinese Astrology contains a lucid account of the major systems of Chinese mysticism. Paul Carus' unique work pictures Chinese astrology and Western astrology side by side. Tables of symbols handily compare Chinese, Indian, Roman and Egyptian astrological symbols. Astrology's aficionados an…d sceptics will be fascinated by the puzzling similarities of symbols, and will be drawn to wonder if there was more exchange between the East and West at the dawn of civilization than has been documented to date.Chinese Astrology is a scholarly work that can take a proud place in the history of archaeology and Oriental studies. Most books on Oriental thought concentrate on either Confucius or Lao Tze. Paul Carus traces an historical continuum of ideas: the Yih System, P'an-Ku, Feng-Shu Lo-Pan are all part of the history of Chinese thought.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This collection of 18 chapters by talented philosophical minds probes some of the many lessons to be learned from Orange Is the New Black. The show and the book that inspired it both dramatically highlight the troubling, stressful situation of millions of incarcerated Americans.How do the s…how's shower scenes shed light on the classical mind-body problem How can we make our lives meaningful when our options are curtailed by authority What does it mean to manipulate someone, and why is it bad What can we learn about human beliefs from Pennsatucky's notion of the gay agenda Is Litchfield Prison a preparation for life outside ? or just a scale model of life outside What could the governors of Litchfield learn from Jeremy Bentham and his panopticon How is it that even in prison we find ourselves condemned to be free Why is one of the worst things about prison being forced to see who and what we really are It so happens that life in prison is overfull of philosophical implications. Orange Is the New Black and Philosophy stays close to the characters and scenes of the TV show, applying insights from ethics, existentialism, metaphysics, epistemology, and political philosophy.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - ?Bond. James Bond." Since Sean Connery first uttered that iconic phrase in Dr. No, more than one quarter of the world's population has seen a 007 film. Witty and urbane, Bond seduces and kills with equal ease ? often, it seems, with equal enthusiasm. This enthusiasm, coupled with his freedo…m to do what is forbidden to everyone else, evokes fascinating philosophical questions. Here, 15 witty, thought-provoking essays discuss hidden issues in Bond's world, from his carnal pleasures to his license to kill. Among the lively topics explored are Bond's relation to existentialism, including his graduation ?beyond good and evil"; his objectification of women; the paradox of breaking the law in order to ultimately uphold it like any ?stupid policeman"; the personality of 007 in terms of Plato's moral psychology; and the Hegelian quest for recognition evinced by Bond villains. A reference guide to all the Bond movies rounds out the book's many pleasures.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In The Twilight Zone and Philosophy, philosophers probe into the meaning of the classic TV series, The Twilight Zone. Some of the chapters look at single episodes of the show, while others analyze several or many episodes. Though acknowledging the spinoffs and reboots, the volume concentrat…es heavily on the classic 1959-1964 series.Among the questions raised and answered are:¿ What's the meaning of personal identity in The Twilight Zone ('Number 12 Looks Just Like You,' 'Person or Persons Unknown').¿ As the distinction between person and machine becomes less clear, how do we handle our intimacy with machines (A question posed in the very first episode of The Twilight Zone, 'The Lonely').¿ Why do our beliefs always become uncertain in The Twilight Zone ('Where Is Everybody ')¿ Just where is the Twilight Zone (Sometimes it's a supernatural realm but sometimes it's the everyday world of reality.)¿ What does the background music of The Twilight Zone teach us about dreams and imagination ¿ Is it better to lose the war than to be damned ('Still Valley')¿ How far should we trust those benevolent aliens ('To Serve Man')¿ Where's the harm in media addiction ('Time Enough at Last')¿ Is there something objective about beauty ('The Eye of the Beholder')¿ Have we already been conquered ('The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street')¿ Are there hidden costs to knowing more about other people ('A Penny for Your Thoughts').

This epic story of a zombie apocalypse is unique. It focuses on the long-term individual, social, and moral consequences of survival by small groups of humans in a world overrun by infected zombies.Guns, chainsaws, and machetes are not enough for survival: humans also need agreement on rules of conduct. Can equality or fairness have any polace in the post-apocalyptic world Do theft or even assault and murder become okay under desperate circumstances Who should be recognized as having political authority What about eating human flesh Should survivors have children As zombies have low IQs, terrible manners, and the overpowering urge to eat people, do they have any rights at all Am I still me if I become a zombie Do zombies know anything are they rational Would it be ethical to train a zombie and keep it as a pet What the heck are P-zombies And why would we all jump at the chance.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Iron Man or Captain America Which one is superior-as a hero, as a role model, or as a personification of American virtue Philosophers who take different sides come together in Iron Man versus Captain America to debate these issues and arrive at a deeper understanding of the strengths and we…aknesses of these iconic characters. The discussion ranges over politics, religion, ethics, psychology, and metaphysics.John Altmann argues that Captain America's thoughtful patriotism, is superior to Iron Man's individualist-cosmopolitanism. Matthew William Brake also votes for Cap, maintaining that it's his ability to believe in the impossible that makes him a hero, and in the end, he is vindicated.Cole Bowman investigates the nature of friendship within the Avengers team, focusing predominantly on the political and social implications of each side of the Civil War as the Avengers are forced to choose between Stark and Rogers. According to Derrida's Politics of Friendship, Cap is the better friend, but that doesn't make him the winner!Aron Ericson's chapter tracks our heroes' journeys in the movies, culminating with Civil War, where the original attitudes of Tony (trusts only himself) and Steve (trusts 'the system') are inverted.Corey Horn's chapter focuses on one of the many tensions between the sides of Iron Man and Captain America-the side of Security (Iron Man) versus Liberty (Cap). But Maxwell Henderson contends that if we dig deeper into the true heart of the Marvel Civil War, it isn't really about security or privacy but more about utilitarianism-what's best for everybody. Henderson explains why Iron Man was wrong about what was best for everybody and discloses what the philosopher Derek Parfit has to say about evaluating society from this perspective.Daniel Malloy explains that while both Captain America and Iron Man have faced setbacks, only Iron Man has failed at being a hero-and that makes him the better hero! In his other chapter, Malloy shows that where Iron Man trusts technology and systems, Captain America trusts people. Jacob Thomas May explores loss from the two heroes' points of view and explains why the more tragic losses suffered by Stark clearly make him the better hero and the better person.Louis Melancon unpacks how Captain America and Iron Man each embodies key facets of America attempts to wage wars: through attrition and the prophylactic of technology; neither satisfactorily resolves conflict and the cycle of violence continues. Clara Nisley tests Captain America and Iron Man's moral obligations to the Avengers and their shared relationship, establishing Captain America's associative obligations that do not extend to the arbitration and protection of humans that Iron Man advocates.Fernando Pagnoni Berns considers that while Iron Man is too much attached to his time (and the thinking that comes with it), Captain America embraces-historical values, and thinks that there are such things as intrinsic human dignity and rights-an ethical imperative.Christophe Porot claims that the true difference between Captain America and Iron Man stems from the different ways they extend their minds. Cap extends his mind socially while Stark extends his through technology. Heidi Samuelson argues that the true American spirit isn't standing up to bullies, but comes out of the self-interested traditions of liberal capitalism, which is why billionaire, former-arms-industry-giant Tony Stark is ultimately a more appropriate American symbol than Steve Rogers. By contrast, Jeffrey Ewing shows that the core of Captain America: Civil War centers on the challenge superpowers impose on state sovereignty (and the monopoly of coercion it implies).Nicol Smith finds that Cap and Shell-Head's clash during the <.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - How do meaningless marks and sounds become the meaningful words of a natural language To what do words having referential significance refer What is the meaning of the words that do not have referential significance Can ordinary language really do what it appears to do, or is this an illusi…on Dr. Adler maintains that these fundamental questions are not satisfactorily treated in the two main philosophies of language that have dominated twentieth-century thinking on the subject - the syntactical and 'ordinary language' approaches. Drawing upon the tradition of Aristotle, Aquinas, Poinsot, and Husserl, Dr. Adler's own discussion exemplifies the third approach, which he describes as 'semantic and lexical.' In this now -classic work, the fruit of more than 50 years' concern with the philosophy of language, Dr. Adler advances a powerful theory of meaning and applies it to some outstanding philosophical problems. In unpretentious and uncluttered prose, he provides a limpid introduction to a number of knotty philosophical issues and at the same time issues a challenge to some of the most tenacious doctrines of the modern world.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Although the year 1984 is hurtling back into the distant past, Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four continues to have a huge readership and to help shape the world of 2084. Sales of Orwell's terrifying tale have recently spiked because of current worries about alternate facts, post-truth, an…d fake news.1984 and Philosophy brings together brand new, up-to-the-minute thinking by philosophers about Nineteen Eighty-Four as it relates to today's culture, politics, and everyday life. Some of the thinking amounts to thoughtcrime, but we managed to sneak it past the agents of the Ministry of Truth, so this is a book to be read quickly before the words on the page mysteriously transform into something different.Who's controlling our lives and are they getting even more levers to control us Is truth objective or just made up What did Orwell get right-and did he get some things wrong Are social media opportunities for liberation or instruments of oppression How can we fight back against totalitarian control Can Big Brother compel us to love him How does the language we use affect the way we think Do we really need the unifying power of hate Why did Orwell make Nineteen Eighty-Four so desperately hopeless Can science be protected from poisonous ideology Can we really believe two contradictory things at once Who surveils the surveilors.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'The first two lectures place the alternative I defend -- a kind of pragmatic realism -- in a historical and metaphysical context. Part of that context is provided by Husserl's remark that the history of modern philosophy begins with Galileo -- that is, modern philosophy has been hypnotized… by the idea that scientific facts are all the facts there are. Another part is provided by the analysis of a very simple example of what I call 'contextual relativity'. The position I defend holds that truth depends on conceptual scheme and it is nonetheless 'real truth'.'In my third lecture I turn to the Kantian antecedents of this view, explaining what I think should be retained of the Kantian idea of autonomy as the central theme of morality, and extracting from Kant's work a 'moral image of the world' that connects the ideals of equality and intellectual liberty. In this lecture I defend the idea that moral images are an indispensible part of our moral and cultural heritage.'In the final lecture I defend the idea of moral objectivity. I compare our epistemological positions in ethics, history, analysis of human character, and science, and I argue that in no area can we hope for a 'foundation' which is more ultimate than the beliefs that actually, at a given time, function as foundational in the area, the beliefs concerning which one has to say 'this is where my spade is turned'. In ethics such beliefs are represented in moral images of the world'.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Few novels have had more influence on individuals and literary culture than J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye. Published in 1951 and intended by Salinger for adults (early drafts were published in the New Yorker and Colliers), the novel quickly became championed by youth who identified… with the awkwardness and alienation of the novel's protagonist, Holden Caulfield. Since then the book and its reclusive author have been fixtures of both popular and literary culture. Catcher is perhaps the only modern novel that is revered equally by the countless Americans whom Holden Caulfield helped through high school and puberty and literary critics (such as the New Yorker's Adam Gopnik who insisted as recently as 2010 that Catcher is a 'perfect' twentieth-century novel).One premise of The Catcher in the Rye and Philosophy is that the ease and sincerity with which readers identify with Holden Caulfield rests on Salinger's attention to the nuances and qualities of experience in the modern world. Coupled with Salinger's deft subjective, first-person style, Holden comes to seem more real than any fictional character should. This and other paradoxes raised by the novel are treated by authors who find answers in philosophy, particularly in twentieth-century phenomenology and existentialism--areas of philosophy that share Salinger's attention to lived, as opposed to theorized, experience. Holden's preoccupation with ?phonies," along with his constant striving to interpret and judge the motives and beliefs of those around him, also taps into contemporary interest in philosophical theories of justice and Harry Frankfurt's recently celebrated analysis of 'bullshit.'Per Salinger's request, Catcher has never been made into a movie. One measure of the devotion and fanatical interest Catcher continues to inspire, however, is speculation in blogs and magazines about whether movie rights may become available in the wake of Salinger's death in 2010. These articles remain purely hypothetical, but the questions they inspire--Who would direct And, especially, Who would star as Holden Caulfield --are as vivid and real as Holden himself.
