A Treatise of Human Nature

by David Hume ...

Nothing is more usual and more natural for those, who pretend to discover anything new to the world in philosophy and the sciences, than to insinuate the praises of their own systems, by decrying all those, which have been advanced before them. And indeed were they content with lamenting that ignorance, which we still lie under in the most important questions, that can come before the tribunal of ... Read more

The Critique of Practical Reason

by Immanuel Kant ...

Kant argues that while theoretical reason cannot prove the existence of God or freedom, practical reason demands them as necessary postulates for moral action. He posits that the moral law within us is an undeniable fact that points towards a higher order of existence. The text explores the relationship between virtue and happiness, suggesting they can only be reconciled in an afterlife. It ... Read more

Philosophical Devices: Proofs, Probabilities, Possibilities, and Sets

Proofs, Probabilities, Possibilities, and Sets

by David Papineau ...

This book is designed to explain the technical ideas that are taken for granted in much contemporary philosophical writing. Notions like 'denumerability', 'modal scope distinction', 'Bayesian conditionalization', and 'logical completeness' are usually only elucidated deep within difficult specialist texts. By offering simple explanations that by-pass much irrelevant and boring detail, ... Read more

The World-Time Parallel

Tense and Modality in Logic and Metaphysics

by A. A. Rini, M. J. Cresswell ...

Is what could have happened but never did as real as what did happen? What did happen, but isn't happening now, happened at another time. Analogously, one can say that what could have happened happens in another possible world. Whatever their views about the reality of such things as possible worlds, philosophers need to take this analogy seriously. Adriane Rini and Max Cresswell exhibit, in an ... Read more

Vagueness and Degrees of Truth

by Nicholas J. J. Smith ...

In Vagueness and Degrees of Truth, Nicholas Smith develops a new theory of vagueness: fuzzy plurivaluationism. A predicate is said to be vague if there is no sharply defined boundary between the things to which it applies and the things to which it does not apply. For example, 'heavy' is vague in a way that 'weighs over 20 kilograms' is not. A great many predicates - both in everyday talk, and in ... Read more

Empiricism and the Problem of Metaphysics

by Paul Studtmann ...

If there is one utterly inescapable problem for the metaphysician, it is this: is metaphysics itself a theoretically legitimate discipline? Is it, in other words, capable of a systematic and well-confirmed set of theoretical results? And if not, why not? From its inception, metaphysics has found itself exercised by the nagging worry that its own inquiries might reveal it to be a subject without an ... Read more
