Эта книга для людей, собирающих мозаики себя, похожая на детскую раскраску, где раскрашивать можно попробовать собой. Попытка воссоздания внутренних разговоров кэмпбелловского Героя и проба со-брать его возможные фокусы внимания, исходя из тела ограниченного текста на срезе времени. Это книга-преамбула – как начало рождения новых связей, и книга-резюме для рассмотрения существующих, но не состоявшихся связей. Наблюдаемая сетка монолога на границе пустоты и души – как способ…

Живой университет Г.Н. Волкова – прорыв в творимо-экофильное будущее
Глобальная Экософия => Стратегия Творчества Жизни Человеком ставит своей тройной задачей (1) подведение итогов Экофильно-Личностно-творческого развития культур мира трех типов: Экогармоничного Востока, Живого капитала Запада, их Эко-синтеза Евразией-Россией в Творимо-Живую Систему; (2) снятие их общего эко-минуса: экономического фетишизма и специфичных самоограничений: традиционалистской «зашоренности» прошлым (Восток), особо сильным экономическим фетишизмом Запада и некритичным вестернизмом Евразии-России.
Логико-философский трактат
Людвиг Витгенштейн – британский философ австрийского происхождения, один из самых оригинальных мыслителей европейской философии ХХ века, создатель теории построения искусственного «идеального» языка, основанного на языке математической логики. Текст «Логико-философского трактата» едва ли можно назвать объемным, однако трудно переоценить его значимость для всей последующей европейской философии, и краткость в данном случае говорит лишь о том, насколько сжато, четко и точно Витгенштейн формулировал свою мысль. Семь коротких тезисов и чуть больше сотни страниц комментариев к ним… но в этот минимальный объем Витгенштейн сумел вместить перевод на философский язык всех главных идей логического анализа. «В начале было Слово», – гласит Библия, и если это так, то Витгенштейн был одним из самых преданных учеников Логоса.

Locke
In a focused assessment of one of the founding members of the liberal tradition in philosophy and a self-proclaimed “Under-Labourer” working to support the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century, the author maps the full range of John Locke’s highly influential ideas, which even today remain at the heart of debates about the nature of reality and our knowledge of it, as well as our moral and political rights and duties. Comprehensive introduction to the full range of Locke’s ideas, providing an up-to-date account that acknowledges issues raised by recent scholarship over the past decade A well-rounded perspective on one of the intellectual giants of the western philosophical tradition Provides detailed coverage of Locke’s two key works, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding and The Two Treatises of Government.

Leibniz
Few philosophers have left a legacy like that of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. He has been credited not only with inventing the differential calculus, but also with anticipating the basic ideas of modern logic, information science, and fractal geometry. He made important contributions to such diverse fields as jurisprudence, geology and etymology, while sketching designs for calculating machines, wind pumps, and submarines. But the common presentation of his philosophy as a kind of unworldly idealism is at odds with all this bustling practical activity. In this book Richard. T. W. Arthur offers a fresh reading of Leibniz’s philosophy, clearly situating it in its scientific, political and theological contexts. He argues that Leibniz aimed to provide an improved foundation for the mechanical philosophy based on a new kind of universal language. His contributions to natural philosophy are an integral part of this programme, which his metaphysics, dynamics and organic philosophy were designed to support. Rather than denying that substances really exist in space and time, as the idealist reading proposes, Leibniz sought to provide a deeper understanding of substance and body, and a correct understanding of space as an order of situations and time as an order of successive things. This lively and approachable book will appeal to students of philosophy, as well as anyone seeking a stimulating introduction to Leibniz's thought and its continuing relevance.
Toleration
In this engaging and comprehensive introduction to the topic of toleration, Andrew Jason Cohen seeks to answer fundamental questions, such as: What is toleration? What should be tolerated? Why is toleration important? Beginning with some key insights into what we mean by toleration, Cohen goes on to investigate what should be tolerated and why. We should not be free to do everythingÑmurder, rape, and theft, for clear examples, should not be tolerated. But should we be free to take drugs, hire a prostitute, or kill ourselves? Should our governments outlaw such activities or tolerate them? Should they tolerate “outsourcing” of jobs or importing of goods or put embargos on other countries? Cohen examines these difficult questions, among others, and argues that we should look to principles of toleration to guide our answers. These principles tell us when limiting freedom is acceptableÑthat is, they indicate the proper limits of toleration. Cohen deftly explains the main principles on offer and indicates why one of these stands out from the rest. This wide-ranging new book on an important topic will be essential reading for students taking courses in philosophy, political science and religious studies.
Paradoxes
Paradoxes are arguments that lead from apparently true premises, via apparently uncontroversial reasoning, to a false or even contradictory conclusion. Paradoxes threaten our basic understanding of central concepts such as space, time, motion, infinity, truth, knowledge, and belief. In this volume Roy T Cook provides a sophisticated, yet accessible and entertaining, introduction to the study of paradoxes, one that includes a detailed examination of a wide variety of paradoxes. The book is organized around four important types of paradox: the semantic paradoxes involving truth, the set-theoretic paradoxes involving arbitrary collections of objects, the Soritical paradoxes involving vague concepts, and the epistemic paradoxes involving knowledge and belief. In each of these cases, Cook frames the discussion in terms of four different approaches one might take towards solving such paradoxes. Each chapter concludes with a number of exercises that illustrate the philosophical arguments and logical concepts involved in the paradoxes. Paradoxes is the ideal introduction to the topic and will be a valuable resource for scholars and students in a wide variety of disciplines who wish to understand the important role that paradoxes have played, and continue to play, in contemporary philosophy.
