    Building a New Perspective from the Ground Up

    by Ermanno Bencivenga ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    This book reconciles the worlds of mysticism and logic, building on the author’s previous groundbreaking work in oceanic logic.

  • Ethics Vindicated

    Kant's Transcendental Legitimation of Moral Discourse

    by Ermanno Bencivenga ...
    Can we regard ourselves as having free will? What is the place of values in a world of facts? What grounds the authority of moral injunctions, and why should we care about them? Unless we provide satisfactory answers to these questions, ethics has no credible status and is likely to be subsumed by psychology, history, or rational decision theory. According to Ermanno Bencivenga, this outcome is ... Read more

  • Return From Exile

    A Theory of Possibility

    by Ermanno Bencivenga ...
    In modern thought, possibility has been exiled to other worlds, in a move best typified by Leibniz. And the move has obvious repercussions in popular culture, where possibility is lived mostly as an exotic evasion, whose outcome--consistently with the Leibnizian model--reinforces the hold of conventional reality, elevating it all the way to a necessity. Return from Exile: A Theory of Possibility ... Read more

  • Exercises in Constructive Imagination

    by Ermanno Bencivenga ...
    Series Book 3 - Topoi Library
    Philosophy in this century has often self-consciously presented itself as aiming at the destruction or deconstruction of the philosophical tradition or even of theorizing as such. The basis for such self-description may well be a deep-seated anxiety about death; but whatever its grounds, the procession of distinguished intellectuals who seem mostly concerned with who gets to turn off the light on ...

  • Tragic Sense Of Life

    by Miguel de Unamuno ...
    Homo sum; nihil humani a me alienum puto , said the Latin playwright. And I would rather say, Nullum hominem a me alienum puto : I am a man; no other man do I deem a stranger. For to me the adjective humanus is no less suspect than its abstract substantive humanitas , humanity. Neither "the human" nor "humanity," neither the simple adjective nor the substantivized adjective, but the concrete ... Read more
