        The Derby philosophers

        Science and culture in British urban society, 1700–1850

        by Paul A. Elliott

        The Derby Philosophers focuses upon the activities of a group of Midland intellectuals that included the evolutionist and physician Erasmus Darwin, Rev. Thomas Gisborne the evangelical philosopher and poet, Robert Bage the novelist, Charles Sylvester the chemist and engineer, William George and his son Herbert Spencer, the internationally renowned evolutionist philosopher who coined the phrase 'survival of the fittest', and members of the Wedgwood and Strutt families. The book explores how, inspired by science and through educational activities, publications and institutions including the famous Derbyshire General Infirmary (1810) and Derby Arboretum (1840), the Derby philosophers strove to promote social, political and urban improvements with national and international consequences. Much more than a parochial history of one intellectual group or town, this book examines science, politics and culture during one of the most turbulent periods of British history.

        Philosophie und Zivilisation

        by John Dewey, Martin Suhr

        Dewey ist fraglos einer der großen amerikanischen Philosophen der Gegenwart. Sein Werk umfaßt eine Vielzahl von Themen und Bereichen und hat von der Philosophie über die Soziologie bis hin zur Politikwissenschaft und Pädagogik entscheidende Impulse gesetzt. Dieser 1931 erstmals publizierte Band versammelt eine von John Dewey selbst zusammengestellte Auswahl seiner Essays, die in den vergangenen 35 Jahren entstanden waren, angefangen von dem klassischen Aufsatz über den Reflexbogen aus dem Jahr 1896 bis hin zu dem speziell für diese Sammlung geschriebenen Einleitungs- und Abschlußkapitel aus dem Jahr 1931. Diese Sammlung bietet damit sowohl einen hervorragenden überblick über das Werk eines der führenden Theoretiker des Pragmatismus als auch eine Einführung in eine der großen philosophischen Positionen der Gegenwart.

        Philosophy of Freedom

        by Myroslav Popovych

        The book "Philosophy of Freedom" by Myroslav Popovych is part of the "Great Scientific Project" series, which collects the works of various authors. Myroslav Volodymyrovych was a great Ukrainian philosopher and thinker, an outstanding personality, and for many years he headed the Institute of Philosophy named after G. Skovoroda. In different years, he wrote articles and essays that were published in various journals in Ukraine and abroad. "Philosophy of Freedom" is a collection of essays and thoughts, which he himself systematised during the last months of his life. The author witnessed many historical events, and remembering them, he sought to understand why everything happened this way and not the other, whether anything could have been changed, whether the past of the Ukrainian people had an influence on them. Popovych searched for the truth, because it was the most important goal for him, and now posterity can find out what conclusions he reached. The topics of his interest vary, but mostly he researched theories and objects, and analysed historical events.

        Teenagers Reading Chinese Philosophy

        by Zhang Jiahua

        In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of ancient China, the philosophical views of various schools met and contended, arousing a more brilliant spark of wisdom. The epic and unprecedented movement in the academy world was called the "Contention of a Hundred Schools of Thought." Scholars of various schools have written their wisdom achievements that they strove to secure through lifetime hard work into their own academic works, leaving us with a timeless ideological wealth that can teach us morals and enlighten our wisdom.   With simple and fluent texts and concise interpretation, Teenagers Reading Chinese Philosophy systematically introduces the essence of the philosophical thoughts of philosophers including Confucius, Mencius, Mozi, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Xun Kuang, and Han Feizi. As an enlightening book of Chinese philosophy designed for children, it eliminates the barriers to reading classical Chinese in the pre-Qin period, and makes the "abstruse and mysterious" philosophy easy for children to understand.

        An Introduction to Philosophy of Library Science

        by Tang Liguang

        The mission of philosophy is to lead the trend of the times and history. The theoretical construction of philosophy of library science will also assume the historical responsibility of leading the development of contemporary library science theory and practice. This book takes Marx's practical materialism as the theoretical foundation, and examines the thinking mode and main issues of library philosophy, the view of practice and materialism, library dialectics, the labor of librarians and their alienation, the philosophical cultivation and creation of librarians, and such major theoretical issues including various contemporary issues, to a certain extent. Based on this, a theoretical framework based on practical materialism was attempted. This book is a comprehensive work written by the author on the basis of his works Study on Axiology of Library, Study on Ontology of Library,and Study on Epistemology of Library. It is suitable for all who care about library existence and development to read.

        Philosophische Schriften

        by Adam Smith, Norbert Paulo

        Der schottische Philosoph und Aufklärer Adam Smith (1723-1790) ist vor allem als Autor von The Wealth of Nations und damit als Wegbereiter der Ökonomie bekannt. Als Philosoph steht er dagegen bis heute im Schatten seines Freundes David Hume. Anlässlich seines 300. Geburtstags rückt der Band Smiths philosophisches Denken in den Mittelpunkt. Er enthält neben seinen bekannten ökonomischen Texten Auszüge der zentralen philosophischen Schriften zu Moral, Politik, Recht und Ästhetik – einige davon erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung – und erlaubt so, ihn als Philosoph neu zu entdecken. Smiths ökonomische Theorie erweist sich so als Teil seines philosophischen Denkens.
