Book Narration as Argument

Download or read book Narration as Argument written by Paula Olmos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents reflections on the relationship between narratives and argumentative discourse. It focuses on their functional and structural similarities or dissimilarities, and offers diverse perspectives and conceptual tools for analyzing the narratives’ potential power for justification, explanation and persuasion. Divided into two sections, the first Part, under the title “Narratives as Sources of Knowledge and Argument”, includes five chapters addressing rather general, theoretical and characteristically philosophical issues related to the argumentative analysis and understanding of narratives. We may perceive here how scholars in Argumentation Theory have recently approached certain topics that have a close connection with mainstream discussions in epistemology and the cognitive sciences about the justificatory potential of narratives. The second Part, entitled “Argumentative Narratives in Context”, brings us six more chapters that concentrate on either particular functions played by argumentatively-oriented narratives or particular practices that may benefit from the use of special kinds of narratives. Here the focus is either on the detailed analysis of contextualized examples of narratives with argumentative qualities or on the careful understanding of the particular demands of certain well-defined situated activities, as diverse as scientific theorizing or war policing, that may be satisfied by certain uses of narrative discourse.

Book Augustine and Time

Download or read book Augustine and Time written by John Doody and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection examines the topic of time in the life and works of Augustine of Hippo. Adopting a global perspective on time as a philosophical and theological problem, the volume includes reflections on the meaning of history, the mortality of human bodies, and the relationship between temporal experience and linguistic expression. As Augustine himself once observed, time is both familiar and surprisingly strange. Everyone’s days are structured by temporal rhythms and routines, from watching the clock to whiling away the hours at work. Few of us, however, take the time to sit down and figure out whether time is real or not, or how it is we are able to hold our past, present, and future thoughts together in a straight line so that we can recite a prayer or sing a song. Divided into five sections, the essays collected here highlight the ongoing relevance of Augustine’s work even in settings quite distinct from his own era and context. The first three sections, organized around the themes of interpretation, language, and gendered embodiment, engage directly with Augustine’s own writings, from the Confessions to the City of God and beyond. The final two sections, meanwhile, explore the afterlife of the Augustinian approach in conversation with medieval Islamic and Christian thinkers (like Avicenna and Aquinas), as well as a broad range of Buddhist figures (like Dharmakīrti and Vasubandhu). What binds all of these diverse chapters together is the underlying sense that, regardless of the century or the tradition in which we find ourselves, there is something about the puzzle of temporality that refuses to go away. Time, as Augustine knew, demands our attention. This was true for him in late ancient North Africa. It was also true for Buddhist thinkers in South and East Asia. And it remains just as true for humankind in the twenty-first century, as people around the globe continue to grapple with the reality of time and the challenges of living in a world that always seems to be to be speeding up rather than slowing down.

Book From Words to Discourse

Download or read book From Words to Discourse written by Javier Gutiérrez-Rexach and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An area of linguistic research can be considered mature when the validity of theoretical and empirical results is tested cross-linguistically and when predictions from different languages influence and modify the course of theoretical development. The semantics/pragmatics interface poses a special challenge in this respect because of its interdisciplinary and multi-theoretical nature. This volume attempts to bridge the gap between theory and empirical analysis by focussing on several aspects of the semantics and the pragmatics of Spanish from a variety of theoretical points of view. Some of the papers were selected from those presented at the International Conference "Semantics and Pragmatics of Spanish" (Ohio State University, 1999). Others are invited contributions from leading scholars in the field. Among the topics covered are several that have been the subject of intense debate, whereas others represent subtle data patterns not considered so far. The topics include the proper characterization of tense and aspect, the subjunctive, verbal periphrases, stage/individual level predication, the interpretation of infinitives in embedded and adjunct clauses, the subjunctive mood, demonstratives, quantification of excess, exception phrases, binding phenomena, propositional negative polarity items, particles of politeness, and pronominal doubling. Overall, the analysis of these subjects contributes new findings to prominent theories in the field, such as possible world semantics, relevance theory, mental spaces, type coercion, generalized quantifier theory, dynamic semantics, and the theory of logical form.

Book Metaphysics of Human Rights 1948 2018

Download or read book Metaphysics of Human Rights 1948 2018 written by Luca Di Donato and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1948 Declaration of Human Rights demanded a collaboration among exponents from around the world. Embodying many different cultural perspectives, it was driven by a like-minded belief in the importance of finding common principles that would be essential for the very survival of civilization. Although an arduous and extensive process, the result was a much sought-after and collective endeavor that would be referenced for decades to come. Motivated by the seventieth anniversary of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and enriched by the contributions of eminent scholars, this volume aims to be a reflection on human rights and their universality. The underlying question is whether or not, after seventy years, this document can be considered universal, or better yet, how to define the concept of “universality.” We live in an age in which this notion seems to be guided not so much by the values that the subject intrinsically perceives as good, but rather by the demands of the subject. Universality is thus no longer deduced by something that is objectively given, within the shared praxis. Conversely, what seems to have to be universal is what we want to be valid for everyone. This volume will be of interest to those currently engaged in research or studying in a variety of fields including Philosophy, Politics and Law.

Book Cine  100 a  os de filosof  a

Download or read book Cine 100 a os de filosof a written by Julio Cabrera and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julio Cabrera aúna en este libro sus dos grandes pasiones: el cine y la filosofía. En cada capítulo de este libro Cabrera analiza una o más películas elegidas cuidadosamente para reflexionar sobre una cuestión filosófica central. Aristóteles y los ladrones de bicicletas; Bacon y Steven Spielberg; Descartes y los fotógrafos indiscretos, Schopenhauer, Buñuel y Frank Capra; Nietzsche, Clint Eastwood y los asesinos por naturaleza; o Wittgenstein y el cine mudo son algunos de los ejercicios filocinematrográficos propuestos. Los comentarios de películas que el lector encontrará destacan aquellos puntos del filme que deben contribuir a la instauración de la experiencia vivida de un problema filosófico. Esta experiencia en sí es insustituible y nadie podrá tenerla por uno. Tan sólo señalo los lugares en donde el filme duele, en donde puede aprenderse alguna cosa padeciéndolo. Estamos ante el encuentro no programado y mutuamente esclarecedor entre una actividad milenaria del ser humano y uno de los más fascinantes lenguajes emergentes de los últimos tiempos: 100 años de imágenes tratando de representar 2.500 años de reflexión

Book Filosof  a del lenguaje

Download or read book Filosof a del lenguaje written by Juan José Acero and published by Editorial CSIC - CSIC Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La pragmática es una disciplina nueva y floreciente. Se multiplican sus revistas, foros de discusión y no parece descabellado imaginar que pronto habrá departamentos universitarios y centros de investigación con ese nombre. Como toda disciplina nueva, una parte de su energía está dedicada a afirmar su autonomía y a precisar la propia metodología. En este volumen el lector podrá apreciar los esfuerzos de orientación analítica empeñados en clarificar los problemas filosóficos de fundamentación y también aquellos otros que la remiten a consideraciones éticas o trascendentales. Este volumen dedicado a la «Filosofía del lenguaje II. Pragmática» hay que leerlo como la parte complementaria del ya editado «Filosofía del lenguaje I. Semántica». Ambas partes, semántica y pragmática, constituyen una rigurosa y completa introducción a la filosofía del lenguaje, con eminentes cultivadores en el ámbito iberoamericano. Marcelo Dascal, editor del volumen, abre el estudio con un trabajo en el que al tiempo que defiende la complementaridad entre semántica y pragmática, trata de justificar la autonomía teórica de la segunda. Eduardo Rabossi expone la teoría de los «actos de habla», en Austin y Searle en un discurso original, con ideas sugestivas en torno al concepto de la «realizatividad». A. García Suárez desmenuza nociones esenciales para el lenguaje como son las de «convención» y «regla» cuya complejidad deja en entredicho las posiciones simplistas a las que él se refiere. Eduardo Bustos Guadaño se faja con el escurridizo fenómeno de la metáfora, un asunto capital para las ciencias cognitivas y para la filosofía del lenguaje. Especialmente perspicaz es al señalar las diferencias entre un tratamiento semántico y otro pragmático de la metáfora. De la «teoría de la pertinencia» da cuenta Begoña Vicente Cruz que hace ver sus implicaciones en la «lógica de la conversación». A Apel y Habermas les ha interesado de la pragmática sus implicaciones cognitivas y éticas, dando lugar a una pragmática «trascendental» y «universal», respectivamente. De ellos se ocupan Adela Cortina y Jesús Conill. Sánchez Durá y Sanfélix Vidarte tratan el asunto de la imaginaria interpretación radical y de la real interpretación transcultural. C. Lafont y L. Peña se refieren al relativismo lingüístico de la hermenéutica alemana, en tanto que A. Tomasini trata de mostrar que se puede hacer pragmática sin necesidad de una teoría pragmática.
