Download or read book O Brasil filos fico written by Ricardo Timm de Souza and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O autor analisa a produção filosófica brasileira, confrontando-a com o ambiente sociocultural do país no último século, demarcando uma posição reflexiva própria, de apoio e valorização de um pensamento de valores brasileiros. Este livro propõe-se a um duplo encargo: apresentar uma síntese histórica da produção filosófica de nosso país e, ao mesmo tempo, refletir sobre esse processo. Procura modulá-lo segundo uma concepção de quais tenham sido os eventuais sentidos de suas objetivações especulativas e a dialética de seu encaminhamento, ou seja, poder-se-ia dizer, uma filosofia da história da filosofia brasileira. Não se trata, pois, de uma dissertação neutra, muito ao contrário, ela se reivindica como interpretação e se posiciona em face de outros modos de entender estes frutos da germinação e da (auto) consciência neste país. O Brasil Filosófico se empenha também em complementar diacronicamente os momentos marcantes das realizações filosóficas, tanto no que já foi efetivado, quanto no que potencialmente pode vir a concretizar-se, cumprindo um papel informativo básico aos estudantes e estudiosos de filosofia.

Download or read book Nagarjuna s Madhyamaka written by Jan Westerhoff and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-23 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian philosopher Acharya Nagarjuna (c. 150-250 CE) was the founder of the Madhyamaka (Middle Path) school of Mahayana Buddhism and arguably the most influential Buddhist thinker after Buddha himself. Indeed, in the Tibetan and East Asian traditions, Nagarjuna is often referred to as the "second Buddha." His primary contribution to Buddhist thought lies is in the further development of the concept of sunyata or "emptiness." For Nagarjuna, all phenomena are without any svabhaba, literally "own-nature" or "self-nature," and thus without any underlying essence. In this book, Jan Westerhoff offers a systematic account of Nagarjuna's philosophical position. He reads Nagarjuna in his own philosophical context, but he does not hesitate to show that the issues of Indian and Tibetan Buddhist philosophy have at least family resemblances to issues in European philosophy.
Download or read book The Social Function of Science written by J. D. Bernal and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2010 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. D. Bernal's important and ambitious work, The Social Function of Science, was first published in January 1939. As the subtitle -What Science Does, What Science Could Do - suggests it is in two parts. Both have eight chapters. Part 1: What Science Does: Introductory, Historical, The Existing Organization of Scientific Research in Britain, Science in Education, The Efficiency of Scientific Research, The Application of Science, Science and War and International Science. Part 11: What Science Could Do: The Training of the Scientist, The Reorganization of Research, Scientific Communication, The Finance of Science, The Strategy of Scientific Advance; Science in the Service of Man, Science and Social Transformation and The Social Function of Science. To quote Bernal's biographer, Andrew Brown, 'The Social Function of Science . . . was Bernal's attempt to ensure that science would no longer be just a protected area of intellectual inquiry, but would have as an inherent function the improvement of life for mankind everywhere. It was a groundbreaking treatise both in exploring the scope of science and technology in fashioning public policy, with Bernal arguing that science is the chief agent of change in society, and in devising policies that would optimize the way science was organized. The sense of impending war clearly emerges. Bernal deplored the application of scientific discoveries in making war ever more destructive, while acknowledging that the majority of scientific and technical breakthroughs have their origins in military exigencies, both because of the willingness to spend money and the premium placed on novelty during wartime.' Anticipating by two decades the schism C. P. Snow termed 'The Two Cultures', Bernal remarked that 'highly developed science stands almost isolated from a traditional literary culture.' He found that wrong. Again, quoting Andrew Brown, 'to him, science was a creative endeavour that still depended on inspiration and talent, just as much as in painting, writing or composing.' The importance of this book was such that twenty-five years after its publication, a collection of essays, The Science of Science, was published, in part in celebration, but also to explore many of the themes Bernal had first developed.

Download or read book The Definition of Good Routledge Revivals written by Alfred C Ewing and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in Great Britain in 1948, this book examines the definition of goodness as being distinct from the question of What things are good? Although less immediately and obviously practical, Dr. Ewing argues that the former question is more fundamental since it raises the issue of whether ethics is explicable wholly in terms of something else, for example, human psychology. Ewing states in his preface that the definition of goodness needs to be confirmed before one decides on the place value is to occupy in our conception of reality or on the ultimate characteristics which make one action right and another wrong. This book discusses these issues.
