    Edited by I.C. Jarvie, N. Laor ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    I suppose Joseph Agassi's best and dearest self-description, his cher ished wish, is to practice what his 1988 book promises: The Gentle Art of Philosophical Polemics.

True to his beloved critical thinking, he is ever the falsificationist, testing himself of course as much as everyone else. How, he ... Read more

    Beyond Free Will and Determinism

    Edited by Nicole A. Vincent, Ibo van de Poel, Jeroen van den Hoven ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    It is well over a decade since John Fischer and Mark Ravizza – and before them, Jay Wallace and Daniel Dennett – defended responsibility from the threat of determinism.

    by Michael P. Lynch ...
    What is truth? Michael Lynch defends a bold new answer to this question. Traditional theories of truth hold that truth has only a single uniform nature. All truths are true in the same way. More recent deflationary theories claim that truth has no nature at all; the concept of truth is of no real philosophical importance. In this concise and clearly written book, Lynch argues that we should reject ... Read more
