Download or read book Studies in the Philosophy of Creation written by Newton Phelps Stallknecht and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This contains a clearly stated vision of the purpose of philosophy, a vision which Stallknecht maintained and deepened throughout a lifetime of reflection. The sense in which creation can be seen as one of - if not the - fundamental questions of philosophy emerges from the historical background of ancient and modern philosophy. Bergson serves as the primary focus as far as sustained analysis of creation, but other contemporaries are discussed, and there is a substantial and precise treatment of Alfred North Whitehead's philosophy of organism. It also discusses the function of creativity in the worlds of literature.

Download or read book Whitehead s Pancreativism written by Michel Weber and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is one question that any potential reader who suspects that Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) might be important for past, contemporary, and future philosophy inevitably raises: how should I read Whitehead? How can I make sense of this incredibly dense tissue of imaginative systematizing, spread over decades of work in disciplines so different and specialized as algebra, geometry, logic, relativistic physics and philosophy of science? Accordingly, this monograph has two main complementary objectives. The first one is to propose a set of efficient hermeneutical tools to get the reader started. These straightforward tools provide answers that are highly coherent and probably the most applicable to Whitehead's entire corpus. The second objective is to illustrate how the several parts of Process and Reality are interconnected, something that all commentators have either failed to recognise or only incompletely acknowledged.
Download or read book Bergson written by Mark Sinclair and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henri Bergson (1859-1941) was one of the most celebrated and influential philosophers of the twentieth century. He was awarded in 1928 the Nobel prize for literature for his philosophical work, and his controversial ideas about time, memory and life shaped generations of thinkers, writers and artists. In this clear and engaging introduction, Mark Sinclair examines the full range of Bergson's work. The book sheds new light on familiar aspects of Bergson’s thought, but also examines often ignored aspects of his work, such as his philosophy of art, his philosophy of technology and the relation of his philosophical doctrines to his political commitments. After an illuminating overview of his life and work, chapters are devoted to the following topics: the experience of time as duration the experience of freedom memory mind and body laughter and humour knowledge art and creativity the élan vital as a theory of biological life ethics, religion, war and modern technology With a final chapter on his legacy, Bergson is an outstanding guide to one of the great philosophers. Including chapter summaries, annotated further reading and a glossary, it is essential reading for those interested in metaphysics, time, free will, aesthetics, the philosophy of biology, continental philosophy and the role of European intellectuals in World War I.
