Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is the first concise anthology of Lik Kuen Tong's Field-Being philosophy. In addressing the ontology of both Eastern and Western thought, Field-Being philosophy offers a new metaphysics. Inclusively, it makes room at the table of philosophy for indigenous philosophy, and, foundationally, it rethinks the universe and the global world ontologically as "activity" and "relationality." A comprehensive philosophy, it considers what is as movement, as well as the what of movement, and inventively adds the concept of "betweenness." This philosophy of movement or "activity," being future-oriented, is timely in the practical world, lending itself to the addressing of current issues such as climate change, global relations, and difference.

Download or read book Field Philosophy and Other Experiments written by Brett Buchanan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-13 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This agenda-setting collection argues for the importance of fieldwork for philosophy and provides reflections on methods for such ‘field philosophy’ from the interdisciplinary vantage point of the environmental humanities. Field philosophy has emerged from multiple sources – including approaches focused on public and participatory research – and others focused on ethology, multispecies studies, and the environmental humanities more broadly. These approaches have yet to enter the mainstream of the discipline, however, and ‘field philosophy’ remains an open and uncharted terrain for philosophical pursuits. This book brings together leading and emerging philosophers who have engaged in critical and constructive forms of fieldwork, for some over decades, and who, through these articles, demonstrate new possibilities and new experiments for philosophical practices. This collection will be of interest to scholars working across the disciplines of continental philosophy, environmental humanities, science and technology studies, animal studies, cultural anthropology, art, and more. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Parallax.

Download or read book Experimental Philosophy written by Joshua Alexander and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental philosophy uses experimental research methods from psychology and cognitive science in order to investigate both philosophical and metaphilosophical questions. It explores philosophical questions about the nature of the psychological world - the very structure or meaning of our concepts of things, and about the nature of the non-psychological world - the things themselves. It also explores metaphilosophical questions about the nature of philosophical inquiry and its proper methodology. This book provides a detailed and provocative introduction to this innovative field, focusing on the relationship between experimental philosophy and the aims and methods of more traditional analytic philosophy. Special attention is paid to carefully examining experimental philosophy's quite different philosophical programs, their individual strengths and weaknesses, and the different kinds of contributions that they can make to our philosophical understanding. Clear and accessible throughout, it situates experimental philosophy within both a contemporary and historical context, explains its aims and methods, examines and critically evaluates its most significant claims and arguments, and engages with its critics.

Download or read book The Field of Philosophy written by Joseph Alex Leighton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Field of Philosophy: An Outline of Lectures on Introduction to Philosophy The following work has been prepared primarily for the use of classes in The Ohio State University. I hope it may be found of service elsewhere. For some years past I have experimented and pondered as to the best method of giving an introductory course which might really introduce beginners to the basic problems and theories of philosophy and quicken them to some appreciation of the role played by philosophy in the whole movement of civilization, while, at the same time, giving them at least an inkling of the work of the greatest thinkers and arousing in them a desire to go to the sources. A course in the entire History of European Philosophy, if seriously given, is beyond the reach of many beginners in the subject. Only the exceptional student can make much out of it. The others are bewildered by the rapid succession of theories not easily distinguishable and become confused as to the fundamental issues and standpoints. They are likely to carry away from the course the feeling that philosophy has no close relation to culture and everyday experience and that it is a bewildering mass of speculations "shot out of the blue". The History of Philosophy should be a second course. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Field Being Interpretation of Buddhist Philosophy written by Albert Shansky and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddhism is a religion despite the negative attitude of some in the West, who espouse that since it has no god, it is atheistic and, therefore, cannot be a religion. A religion is a unified system of beliefs and practices that unite into one single moral community. A. N. Whitehead fortified this definition by saying, Religion is what the individual does with his own solitariness. Buddhism satisfies these definitions by guiding the individual in self-reliance and introspection rather than entreaty to an unseen god or spirit. It is hoped that the nine essays in this book depict situations where a set of symbolic forms and acts relate man to the ultimate condition of his existence. The essays in this book have been written between the years of 1998 and 2000 while Albert Shansky, the author, was executive vice president of the International Institute of Field-Being at Fairfield University.
