Explorations in Phenomenology
Contrary to popular belief, professional philosophers want and need to be heard. Lacking a large and general public in this country, they turn to audiences of peers and rivals. But these audiences are found either in giant, unfocused professional bodies, or in restrictive groups of specialists. In this respect, the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy can claim a unique role among academic organizations in this country. Now in its tenth year, it has become one of the most important forums in America for the open exchange of ideas. The Society has grown considerably since its founding, and its annual meetings attract scholars in philosophy and other disciplines from across the...
On the Edge of Certainty
"Raymond Tallis's The Explicit Animal (1991) defended the distinctive nature of human consciousness against the misrepresentations of those many philosophers and cognitive scientists who aimed to reduce it to a set of functions understood in evolutionary, neurobiological and computational terms. Stephen Clark expressed the hope that Tallis would continue his explorations." "On the Edge of Certainty does precisely that, investigating the implications of the highly original view of human nature adumbrated in his earlier book for our understanding of the nature of truth, of language, of the mind and of the self. His arguments utilise a rich variety of forms, ranging from a lexicon of terms commonly misused by 'neuromythologists' to a meditation on the last weeks of Wittgenstein's thinking life which combines biography and intellectual history. On the Edge of Certainty is a compelling challenge to the prevailing Zeitgeist."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Agnosticism
In a time marked by prominent public clashes between theists and atheists, much less attention has been given to the question of agnosticism, whether in public debate or in academic literature. This is all the more surprising given that so many in Western society feel unable to identify unequivocally with either theism or atheism. This book brings together some leading contemporary philosophers, from both the analytic and continental traditions, to give a sustained and in-depth treatment of the question of agnosticism. Approaching the question from a variety of stances and employing different methodologies, the contributors explore the various possible meanings of agnosticism today. Several ...

Explorations in Metaphysics
This collection of essays is a compilation of the thought and work of W. Norris Clarke, S.J., a philosopher inspired by the Thomistic tradition, who in 45 years of teaching and writing has delved into many of the central problems of perennial philosophy and made a significant contribution to the ongoing history of American Thomism. The essays presented here reflect an internal unity-each essay deliberately building on the positions put forth in the preceding ones-as they progress systematically through the themes of metaphysics and philosophy of God. Clarke begins with an overall survey of what in Aquinas's metaphysics is most relevant for today, and then suggests the most fruitful starting ...
