  • Consciousness and its Objectsby Colin McGinn

    Clarendon Press 2004; US$ 64.99

    Colin McGinn presents his latest work on consciousness in ten interlinked essays, four of them previously unpublished. He extends and deepens his controversial solution to the mind-body problem, defending the view that consciousness is both ontologically unproblematic and epistemologically impenetrable. He also investigates the basis of our knowledge... more...

  • Disjunctivismby Adrian Haddock; Fiona Macpherson

    OUP Oxford 2008; US$ 39.99

    Disjunctivism has attracted considerable philosophical attention in recent years: it has been the source of a lively and extended debate spanning the philosophy of perception, epistemology, and the philosophy of action. Adrian Haddock and Fiona Macpherson present seventeen specially written essays, which examine the different forms of disjunctivism... more...

  • Politics of the Giftby Gerald Moore

    Edinburgh University Press 2011; US$ 65.00

    Gerald Moore shows how the problematic of the gift drives and illuminates the last century of French philosophy. By tracing the creation of the gift as a concept, from its origins in philosophy and the social sciences, right up to the present, Moore shows its central importance for a poststructuralist understanding of the relation between philosophy... more...

  • Physical Realizationby Sydney Shoemaker

    Clarendon Press 2007; US$ 23.99

    In Physical Realization, Sydney Shoemaker considers the question of how physicalism can be true: how can all facts about the world, including mental ones, be constituted by facts about the distribution in the world of physical properties? Physicalism requires that the mental properties of a person are 'realized in' the physical properties of... more...

  • Models, Truth, and Realismby Barry Taylor

    Clarendon Press 2006; US$ 84.99

    Barry Taylor's book mounts an argument against one of the fundamental tenets of much contemporary philosophy, the idea that we can make sense of reality as existing objectively, independently of our capacities to come to know it. Part One sets the scene by arguings that traditional realism can be explicated as a doctrine about truth - that truth... more...

  • Nothing Mattersby Ronald Green

    John Hunt Publishing 2011; US$ 9.99

    Is nothing everything? As strange as that question looks at first sight, it will definitely make sense after reading NOTHING MATTERS. Provocative and accessible, free of jargon, NOTHING MATTERS shows that there is more to nothing than meets the eye. History, the arts, philosophy, politics, religion, cosmology - all are touched by nothing. Who, for... more...

  • Panpsychismby Peter Ells

    John Hunt Publishing 2011; US$ 9.99

    Materialism asserts that the universe and everything within it, including ourselves, is a deterministic machine, trapped until the end of time on the rigid tracks of inviolable laws. Only the mechanisms of physics - forces, electrical charges, and so on - are consequential; nothing else matters. Experiences, such as the taste of honey, feelings, thoughts,... more...

  • The Waning of Materialismby Robert C. Koons; George Bealer

    OUP Oxford 2010; US$ 39.99

    Twenty-three philosophers examine the doctrine of materialism find it wanting. The case against materialism comprises arguments from conscious experience, from the unity and identity of the person, from intentionality, mental causation, and knowledge. The contributors include leaders in the fields of philosophy of mind, metaphysics, ontology, and epistemology,... more...

  • What We Can Never Knowby David Gamez

    Continuum International Publishing 2007; US$ 150.00

    Contemporary philosophy and science strive to give a complete account of the world and our position in it. In this original and provocative book, David Gamez engages the reader in a series of colourful thought experiments that illustrate the limits of this mission. Although we commonly believe that science will give a final description of everything,... more...

    Continuum International Publishing 2007; US$ 150.00

    In this remarkable book, Joseph Margolis, one of America 's leading and most celebrated philosophers, examines the relationship between two apparently contradictory philosophical tendencies - realism and relativism.
