分析哲学和语言哲学是20世纪后哲学研究中的主流，在西方学界受到高度的重视。但该研究在国内则比较薄弱。主要原因之一是对现代逻辑把握不够，很多人对于语言哲学中的许多论证过程理解不透，从而对语言哲学的理论和成果理解不够，甚至导致畏难或回避。 在本书中，作者迎难而上，构建了一种新的解释模式，即一种直观、易操作、易理解的句子图式，并以语言与语言所表达的东西之区别为线索，对语言哲学所涵盖的主要问题和语言哲学的主要理论，包括弗雷格的涵义和意谓理论、罗素的摹状词理论、克里普克的因果命名理论、奎因对分析与综合判断区别的质疑、盖提尔论题、维特根斯坦的事实构成世界论等等，进行了深入而细致的探讨和说明。基于这种句子图式，作者对语言哲学的核心问题做出统一的新的解释。这种新的解释框架，有助于那些缺乏逻辑训练的人们更好地理解和认识语言哲学的实质、其主要方法以及主要问题。 全书逻辑严整、论证清晰明了，作者又是研究逻辑哲学和语言哲学的专家，已出版多种相关的专著。本书是他多年来思考、研究的结晶，成稿后又反复打磨近两年，可以说代表了汉语学界语言哲学和逻辑哲学的研究新水准。

建筑学专业的洛克先生从大学开始就因为不遵循传统说教而被开掉，而听话的另一位先生顺利的毕业并且找到一份好差事。所有人都不喜欢洛克先生，甚至专栏作家也时不时的老羞辱他，洛克爱着的姑娘——也不出所料的跟了那位听话的好好先生……洛克先生活着就是麻烦不断。 在一次政府建筑项目中，那位他的同学，听话的好好先生居然同意了洛克先生独立自主的设计。如果洛克先生能因此获得荣誉，获得成功，并获得尊敬，由此改变世界对他的看法，那真是美好的生活啊。可洛克先生并为因此获得好运气：公众一如既往的反对混子洛克设计建设的这个项目，政府也因此推翻了这个项目，而两位设计者也无法控告政府，政府是无权被告的。洛克先生又一次显示了他混子本色，他搞了一些炸药把那做了一半的楼给炸成一堆碎瓦片子。他也因此而上了法庭，对于自己的行为，他是这么说的：创造是自己的私事，是天赋的权利，维护创造也是同样的天赋个人的权力……

Markus Gabriel, Spiegel-Bestseller-Autor, zeigt in diesem Buch, dass das Denken Teil der biologischen Sinne ist, der nicht künstlich nachgebaut werden kann. Längst gilt er als einer der wichtigsten deutschsprachigen Philosophen der Gegenwart, dessen unverwechselbar leichtfüßiger Stil klassische und moderne Theoretiker sowie die Popkultur zusammenführt.
Das Denken ist vielleicht der wahre Hauptbegriff der Philosophie. Insbesondere Platon und Aristoteles haben sie als das Nachdenken über das Nachdenken definiert. Unser menschliches Denken ist einer unserer Sinne und damit unüberwindbar an biologische Bedingungen gebunden. Das lässt sich zwar nicht nachbauen. Dennoch sind wir in bestimmter Hinsicht selber eine Form der künstlichen Intelligenz. Denn unser geistiges Vermögen entsteht historisch und kulturell aus dem Bild, das wir uns von uns selber und von unserer Umgebung machen. Oder ist das ganze Universum vielleicht nur eine Simulation? Mit Esprit führt Markus Gabriel in hochaktuelle Themen ein und streift dabei Hume, Leibniz und Kant ebenso wie Searle und Taylor, aber auch Filme und Serien wie Ghost in the Shell, Matrix oder Der sechs Millionen Dollar Mann.

Histories of German philosophy in the nineteenth century typically focus on its first half--when Hegel, idealism, and Romanticism dominated. By contrast, the remainder of the century, after Hegel's death, has been relatively neglected because it has been seen as a period of stagnation and decline. But Frederick Beiser argues that the second half of the century was in fact one of the most revolutionary periods in modern philosophy because the nature of philosophy itself was up for grabs and the very absence of certainty led to creativity and the start of a new era. In this innovative concise history of German philosophy from 1840 to 1900, Beiser focuses not on themes or individual thinkers but rather on the period's five great debates: the identity crisis of philosophy, the materialism controversy, the methods and limits of history, the pessimism controversy, and the Ignorabimusstreit. Schopenhauer and Wilhelm Dilthey play important roles in these controversies but so do many neglected figures, including Ludwig Büchner, Eugen Dühring, Eduard von Hartmann, Julius Fraunstaedt, Hermann Lotze, Adolf Trendelenburg, and two women, Agnes Taubert and Olga Pluemacher, who have been completely forgotten in histories of philosophy. The result is a wide-ranging, original, and surprising new account of German philosophy in the critical period between Hegel and the twentieth century.

Concepts, Theories, and the Mind-Body Problem was first published in 1958. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.
This is Volume II of the Minnesota Studies in the Philosophy of Science, a series published in cooperation with the Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Minnesota. The series editors are Herbert Feigl and Grover Maxwell, who are also co-editors, with Michael Scriven, of this volume.
The ten papers by eleven authors which make up the content of this volume are the result of collaborative research of the Center in philosophical and methodological problems of science in general and psychology in particular. The contributors are Paul Oppenheim, Hilary Putnam, Carl G. Hempel, Michael Scriven, Arthur Pap, Wilfrid Sellars,
H. Gavin Alexander, P.F. Strawson, Karl Zener, Herbert Feigl, and Paul E. Meehl. In addition, an extensive discussion of "Internationality and the Mental" by Wilfrid Sellars and Roderick Chisholm is presented in an appendix.
In a review of this volume the journal Psychiatric Quarterly commented: "These essays will not prove easy for the layman to read, but he can hardly fail to find his effort rewarded if he is persistent. For the professional behavioral scientist increased awareness and caution—in his use of scientific language, and thinking about scientific theory—should result."
One of the papers in this volume, "The 'Mental' and the 'Physical'" by Herbert Feigl, has been published by the University of Minnesota Press with further discussion by Dr. Feigl as a separate book, The "Mental" and the "Physical": The Essay and a Postscript.

"Bring[s] both entertainment and enlightenment to the subject of how modern philosophical thought challenged the church's doctrine on the relationship between God and man and led to democratic challenges to monarchy and the divine right of kings... Nimbly advance[s] through a little more than a century in fewer than 200 pages, presenting a primer that can instruct those new to the period while serving as a refresher for readers who have forgotten what they studied in history and philosophy."--Kirkus "A quick introduction to the basic figures and concepts of modern philosophy as it was developed in the 17th century. Rene Descartes, Francis Bacon, Baruch Spinoza, and other philosophers pop up to discuss, and sometimes argue, about the nature of matter, the existence of God, mind-body dualism, the structure of society, and even the existence of knowledge itself. The authors use quotes from the philosophers themselves and quickly place them in historical context, and the lively illustrations keep the narrative from getting bogged down."--Brigid Alverson, School Library Journal "Being a philosopher in the 17th century was a dangerous career choice. At odds with the Catholic church, Western philosophy found itself in a precarious position that would sometimes end in violence. Written by the father-son team Steven and Ben Nadler, the comic book aims to turn the trials of early scientific thought into a riveting graphic narrative. With the help of colorful illustrations and jokes, the duo is able to make complicated philosophical ideas easier to digest for a larger group of readers as well as offer up plenty of drama."--Mental Floss

Today man's mind is under attack by all the leading schools of philosophy. We are told that we cannot trust our senses, that logic is arbitrary, that concepts have no basis in reality. Ayn Rand opposes that torrent of nihilism, and she provides the alternative in this eloquent presentation of the essential nature--and power--of man's conceptual faculty. She offers a startlingly original solution to the problem that brought about the collapse of modern philosophy: the problem of universals. This brilliantly argued, superbly written work, together with an essay by philosophy professor Leonard Peikoff, is vital reading for all those who seek to discover that human beings can and should live by the guidance of reason.

Change in View offers an entirely original approach to the philosophical study of reasoning by identifying principles of reasoning with principles for revising one's beliefs and intentions and not with principles of logic. This crucial observation leads to a number of important and interesting consequences that impinge on psychology and artificial intelligence as well as on various branches of philosophy, from epistemology to ethics and action theory.
