The Instant of Change in Medieval Philosophy and Beyond
Since antiquity, philosophers have investigated how change works. If a thing moves from one state to another, when exactly does it start to be in its new state, and when does it cease to be in its former one? In the late Middle Ages, the "problem of the instant of change” was subject to considerable debate and gave rise to sophisticated theories; it became popular and controversial again in the second half of the twentieth century. The studies collected here constitute the first attempt at tackling the different aspects of an issue that, until now, have been the object of seminal but isolated forays. They do so in through a historical perspective, offering both the medieval and the contemporary viewpoints. Contributors are Damiano Costa, Graziana Ciola, William O. Duba, Simo Knuuttila, Greg Littmann, Can Laurens Löwe, Graham Priest, Magali Roques, Niko Strobach, Edith Dudley Sylla, Cecilia Trifogli and Gustavo Fernández Walker.
Nuel Belnap on Indeterminism and Free Action
This volume seeks to further the use of formal methods in clarifying one of the central problems of philosophy: that of our free human agency and its place in our indeterministic world. It celebrates the important contributions made in this area by Nuel Belnap, American logician and philosopher. Philosophically, indeterminism and free action can seem far apart, but in Belnap’s work, they are intimately linked. This book explores their philosophical interconnectedness through a selection of original research papers that build forth on Belnap’s logical and philosophical work. Some contributions take the form of critical discussions of Belnap's published work, some develop points made in hi...
Advances in Medicinal Chemistry

The Life of Mozart
BCC: In his timeless biography written long before the significance of Mozart's work was fully realized, author Edward Holmes reveals the musician's character and genius, his struggles, his influence on art, and the brilliant reputation that surrounded him. Published in 1845 as the first authentic narrative of the life of Mozart to appear in English, it was also the first biography after the composer's death in 1791 to be based upon his letters. Holmes explores Mozart's work from the perspective as a cultured mind of the era.AUTHOR BIO: Edward Holmes, a schoolmate of Keats, provides the first complete account of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, based upon the composer's own letters and memoirs.
Feminist Reflections on the History of Philosophy
Feminist work in the history of philosophy has come of age as an innovative field in the history of philosophy. This volume marks that accomplishment with original essays by leading feminist scholars who ask basic questions: What is distinctive of feminist work in the history of philosophy? Is there a method that is distinctive of feminist historical work? How can women philosophers be meaningfully included in the history of the discipline? Who counts as a philosopher? This collection is a unique collaboration among philosophers from North America and the Nordic Countries, including papers written from both analytic and continental philosophical perspectives and discussing both ancient and modern philosophers. Feminist Reflections on the History of Philosophy will be of interest to historians of philosophy, feminist theorists, women's studies faculty and students, and humanists interested in canon formation and transformation.
Physik. Teilband 1: Bücher I bis IV
Anders als der Titel suggeriert, hat die aristotelische "Physik" mit Physik im heutigen Sinne nicht viel zu tun. Denn "physikê" bedeutet Naturwissenschaft, und diese ist in Aristoteles' Wissenschaftssystematik – im Unterschied etwa zur Ersten Philosophie – eine Einzeldisziplin. In der "Physik" werden philosophische Vorfragen bezüglich der Erkenntnis einzelner "Naturdinge" geklärt: Fragen nach den Prinzipien, den Gegenständen und den Beschreibungsmitteln der Naturwissenschaft. Die Themen der Bücher I–VIII sind daher, beginnend mit vorgängigen Überlegungen zu den Prinzipien aller Forschung: Bewegung, Unbegrenztes, Ort, Leeres, Zeit, Kontinuum, Bewegungsparadoxa, kinematische Ketten und bewegungslose Beweger. Mit dieser Ausgabe legt Gottfried Heinemann eine völlige Neuübersetzung der "Physik" vor, die an zahlreichen Stellen zu revidierten Übersetzungsentscheidungen kommt. Eine ausführliche Einleitung, Anmerkungen und Register ergänzen den Band. (Band 2 der "Physik", der die Bücher V–VIII enthält, erscheint voraussichtlich 2023.)
