Naturalism provides a rigorous analysis and critique of the major varieties of contemporary philosophical naturalism. The authors advocate the thesis that contemporary naturalism should be abandoned, in light of the serious objections raised against it. Contributors draw on a wide range of topics including: epistemology, the philosophy of science, the philosophy of mind and agency, and natural theology.
É com grande satisfação que apresentamos a coletânea Explorando as dimensões do gênero: interfaces com o mundo do trabalho, a violência e a diversidade sexual. Este livro é uma valiosa contribuição para as discussões contemporâneas sobre gênero, trazendo à luz três importantes áreas de investigação: gênero e trabalho, violência de gênero e diversidade sexual. Ao longo desta jornada, seremos convidadas/os/es a refletir sobre questões cruciais e a expandir nosso conhecimento sobre temas tão relevantes. Os capítulos desta coletânea resultam de pesquisas realizadas por discentes, docentes e egressos do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Sociais da PUC Minas, majoritariamente, mas também dos Programas de Pós-Graduação em Administração e Psicologia da mesma Universidade.
A preocupação fundamental do Autor é conhecer, entender e defender o lugar da Música, em especial, no currículo da escola pública. A pesquisa realizada e agora oferecida em forma de livro aos leitores, quer anunciar, mas também denunciar. O Livro levanta uma problemática ao nos mostrar que a partir da mudança na Lei, o professor que ministra a disciplina de Artes, desenvolve nos seus alunos a linguagem para a qual foi graduado e as demais linguagens se tornam empobrecidas, e até mesmo inexistentes, na formação dos alunos. O Autor deixa claro por meio da sua pesquisa, que não tem o intuito de generalizar e reconhece que muitos espaços educacionais procuram desenvolver todas as linguagens, pois entendem que é na etapa do Ensino Fundamental que os alunos estão se desenvolvendo e dando asas a sua criatividade, lendo o mundo da forma mais sensível possível e fazendo escolhas, e por isso o leque de possibilidades trazido pelas Artes na escola, auxilia nesse desenvolvimento potente. Sabe, no entanto, que esse não é a maior parte dos casos.

In this book, first published in 2004, William Dembski, Michael Ruse, and other prominent philosophers provide a comprehensive balanced overview of the debate concerning biological origins - a controversial dialectic since Darwin published The Origin of Species in 1859. Invariably, the source of controversy has been 'design'. Is the appearance of design in organisms (as exhibited in their functional complexity) the result of purely natural forces acting without prevision or teleology? Or, does the appearance of design signify genuine prevision and teleology, and, if so, is that design empirically detectable and thus open to scientific inquiry? Four main positions have emerged in response to these questions: Darwinism, self-organisation, theistic evolution, and intelligent design. The contributors to this volume define their respective positions in an accessible style, inviting readers to draw their own conclusions. Two introductory essays furnish a historical overview of the debate.
Darwin's greatest accomplishment was to show how life might be explained as the result of natural selection. But does Darwin's theory mean that life was unintended? William A. Dembski argues that it does not. As the leading proponent of intelligent design, Dembski reveals a designer capable of originating the complexity and specificity found throughout the cosmos. Scientists and theologians alike will find this book of interest as it brings the question of creation firmly into the realm of scientific debate. The paperback is updated with a new Preface by the author.
This text explores the 1823 slave rebellion in Demerara (now Guyana) - one of the largest in history. The 60,000 black slaves who rose up against their British masters were brutally put down. The book looks at the conflict which gave the rebellion life and the forces which finally ended slavery.
The last decade saw the arrival of a new player in the creation/evolution debate—the intelligent design creationism (IDC) movement, whose strategy is to act as "the wedge" to overturn Darwinism and scientific naturalism. This anthology of writings by prominent creationists and their critics focuses on what is novel about the new movement. It serves as a companion to Robert Pennock's Tower of Babel, in which he criticizes the wedge movement, as well as other new varieties of creationism. The book contains articles previously published in specialized, hard-to-find journals, as well as new contributions. Each section contains introductory background information, articles by influential creationists and their critics, and in some cases responses by the creationists. The discussions cover IDC as a political movement, IDC's philosophical attack on evolution, the theological debate over the apparent conflict between evolution and the Bible, IDC's scientific claims, and philosopher Alvin Plantinga's critique of naturalism and evolution. The book concludes with Pennock's "Why Creationism Should Not Be Taught in the Public Schools."
