Download or read book Auguste Comte Volume 3 written by Mary Pickering and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-14 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume continues to explore the life and works of Auguste Comte during his so-called second career. It covers the period from the coup d'état of Louis Napoleon in late 1851 to Comte's death in 1857. During these early years of the Second Empire, Comte became increasingly conservative and anxious to control his disciples. This study offers the first study of the tensions within his movement. Focusing on his second masterpiece, the Système de politique positive, and other important books, such as the Synthèse subjective, Mary Pickering not only sheds light on Comte's intellectual development but also traces the dissemination of positivism and the Religion of Humanity throughout many parts of the world.

Download or read book Logic and Society written by Yuichiro Kawana and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses John Stuart Mill’s intellectual activity from about 1827 to 1848, namely between his recovery from his so-called ‘Mental Crisis’ and the publication of Principles of Political Economy. During this period, along with deepening his understanding of contemporary society as commercial civilization, Mill aspired to create a new system of science of society which would inquire into the nature, process of historical change, and prospects of society. Among the indispensable constituent sciences of his system, this book pays particular attention on his projected sciences of history and of the formation of character (ethology), and clarifies that the implications of his interest in these sciences were more significant for the better understanding of Mill’s political thought than many scholars have assumed.
Download or read book Auguste Comte and John Stuart Mill on Sexual Equality written by Vincent Guillin and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-08-31 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vincent Guillin uses the issue of sexual equality as a prism through which to examine important differences – epistemological, methodological and theoretical – between Auguste Comte and John Stuart Mill. He succeeds in showing how their differing conceptions of science and human nature influence and affect their respective approaches to philosophy and to the analysis of female (in)equality in particular. Guillin shines a bright searchlight into long-neglected aspects of both men’s thinking – for example, Mill’s proposal to construct an ‘ethology’, or science of character-formation, and Comte’s seemingly bizarre interest in phrenology – and the ways in which these shaped their views of women’s intellectual and political capacities. Guillin’s wide-ranging study examines both men’s major and minor works, their correspondence with one another, and the reasons for the final acrimonious break between two of the nineteenth century’s most original and important thinkers.

Download or read book Objective Legal Basis Selected Writings written by Bogdan Szlachta and published by Wydawnictwo Instytutu Wymiaru Sprawiedliwości. This book was released on 2021 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the interwar period, Czesław Martyniak, Fr. Antoni Szymański, and Ignacy Czuma worked at the newly established Catholic University of Lublin, basing their scientific activity mainly on the Thomistic tradition in the philosophy of law and referring to it in taking up criticism of the then influential trends: the legal positivism (especially as developed by Hans Kelsen, who was considered to be the creator of its normative variety) and solidarism (treated by many authors of those times as a proposal for the critics of positivism, referring to “social facts” rather than to the norms of the natural order). Limiting this introduction to an attempt to make the reader interested in the context of heritage and fundamental issues of the philosophy of law, we will only point out that the content of the statements of the abovementioned authors had mainly polemical value. This does not mean, however, that apart from the critical arguments, we will not find an outline of a positive position in their writings. They undoubtedly demonstrate the importance of the need to establish a universal “species goal” and thus to indicate a certain, appropriate and purposeful structure of action for all people, as one that for many centuries has defined an essential aspect of the philosophy of law. They see that questioning this orientation (together with the negation of a realistic position which treats the human species as a real existence, a kind of participation in every human being) has opened up a perspective for new approaches, for the differentiation of norms within every political community and for the search of justifications for those who take part in the creation of the legal order. They are aware that the classical structure of reflection on the law, present already in the Renaissance thought, has been replaced by another: the reflection on the universal purpose of the human species has been taken over by reflection on the multiplicity of objectives of the individual and the search for a guarantee of their realisation, sometimes taking into account the objectives of the state as a particular kind of being, which is to some extent independent of the existence (and objectives) of its constituent individuals. They know that this approach was the result of a particular type of intellectual evolution that had taken place in European culture since around the 13th century, leading to a gradual shift of interest from the order of all things to the projects of individuals. They reach directly to St. Thomas Aquinas and analyse the foundations of the normative order, which at least sets a negative limit to the ability of individuals and legislators to act, as well as to the content of established norms.
Download or read book A New History of the Humanities written by Rens Bod and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-11-14 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many histories of science have been written, but A New History of the Humanities offers the first overarching history of the humanities from Antiquity to the present. There are already historical studies of musicology, logic, art history, linguistics, and historiography, but this volume gathers these, and many other humanities disciplines, into a single coherent account. Its central theme is the way in which scholars throughout the ages and in virtually all civilizations have sought to identify patterns in texts, art, music, languages, literature, and the past. What rules can we apply if we wish to determine whether a tale about the past is trustworthy? By what criteria are we to distinguish consonant from dissonant musical intervals? What rules jointly describe all possible grammatical sentences in a language? How can modern digital methods enhance pattern-seeking in the humanities? Rens Bod contends that the hallowed opposition between the sciences (mathematical, experimental, dominated by universal laws) and the humanities (allegedly concerned with unique events and hermeneutic methods) is a mistake born of a myopic failure to appreciate the pattern-seeking that lies at the heart of this inquiry. A New History of the Humanities amounts to a persuasive plea to give Panini, Valla, Bopp, and countless other often overlooked intellectual giants their rightful place next to the likes of Galileo, Newton, and Einstein.
