Thinking with Assent
Epistemology is currently in ferment. Ever since Plato, the textbook story goes, knowledge has been conceived as justified true belief; but in 1963 Edmund Gettier blew a huge hole in this supposedly traditional account. Six decades later, however, ongoing attempts to identify the conditions which turn belief into knowledge continue to face counterexamples and charges of circularity. In response to this recurrent failure, leading philosophers have begun exploring alternative accounts of knowledge. This ground-breaking book pushes the revolt against post-Gettier epistemology in a radically new direction. It begins by challenging the crude history of philosophy underling the entire Gettier para...
Leibniz: A Very Short Introduction
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) was a man of extraordinary intellectual creativity who lived an exceptionally rich and varied intellectual life in troubled times.

Leibniz
Tra tutti i pensatori del secolo dei geni che inaugura la filosofia moderna, nessuno visse una vita intellettuale più ricca e variegata di Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716). Formatosi come giurista e in seguito assunto come consulente, bibliotecario e storiografo di corte, Leibniz diede importanti contributi alla logica, alla matematica, alla fisica e alla metafisica. Allo stesso tempo guardò alle proprie aspirazioni in termini sostanzialmente etici e teologici, e sposò i propri interessi teoretici con la politica, la diplomazia e un’ampia gamma di riforme pratiche: giuridiche, economiche, amministrative, tecnologiche, mediche ed ecclesiastiche. La pionieristica biografia di Maria R...

Leibniz on the Trinity and the Incarnation
Leibniz penned his reflections on Christian theology, yet this wealth of material has never been systematically gathered or studied. This book addresses an important and central aspect of these neglected materials - Leibniz's writings on two mysteries central to Christian thought, the Trinity and the Incarnation.
Knowing and Seeing
What is knowledge? What, if anything, can we know? In Knowing and Seeing, Michael Ayers recovers the insight in the traditional distinction between knowledge and belief, according to which 'knowledge' stems from direct and perspicuous cognitive contact with ('seeing') its object, whereas 'belief' relies on 'extraneous' justification. He conducts a careful phenomenological analysis of what it is to perceive one's environment as one's environment, the result of which is not only direct realism, but recognition that in being perceptually aware of anything we are at the same time perceptually aware of how we are aware of it. Perceptual knowing comes with knowing how you know. Some other forms of...
New Essays on Leibniz's Theodicy

The Oxford Handbook of the History of Ethics
Philosophical ethics consists in the human endeavour to answer rationally the fundamental question of how we should live. The Oxford Handbook of the History of Ethics explores the history of philosophical ethics in the western tradition from Homer until the present day. It provides a broad overview of the views of many of the main thinkers, schools, and periods, and includes in addition essays on topics such as autonomy and impartiality. The authors are international leaders in their field, and use their expertise and specialist knowledge to illuminate the relevance of their work to discussions in contemporary ethics. The essays are specially written for this volume, and in each case introduce the reader to the main lines of interpretation and criticism that have arisen in the professional history of philosophy over the past two or three decades.
