Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How Do You Know explores problems of knowledge that arise in everyday life. If you are not an expert, how can you know that another person is an expert If experts are politically biased should you still trust them More generally, how should you approach the testimony of other people: treat it all as 'innocent until proven guilty,' or is that too simple Does the internet make us better knowers, or is it just a minefield of misinformation Is it always irrational to believe a conspiracy theory Suppose someone just as intelligent and well-informed as you are disagrees with you about something, how should that affect your belief Can we have knowledge of what is right and wrong How Do You Know approaches these issues through the lens of social epistemology and via the preeminently social genre of philosophical dialogue. Its characters think and speak like real people in the world today, discussing and debating issues that are current, practically relevant, and even controversial-while equipping readers with tools and concepts to see more clearly for themselves.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rise of the Mongols offers readers a selection of five important works that detail the rise of the Mongol Empire through Chinese eyes. Three of these works were written by officials of South China''s Southern Song dynasty and two are from officials from North China writing in the service of the Mongol rulers. Together, these accounts offer a view of the early Mongol Empire very different not just from those of Muslim and Christian travelers and chroniclers, but also from the Mongol tradition embodied in The Secret History of Mongols. The five Chinese source texts (in English translation, each with their own preface): - Selections from Random Notes from Court and Country since the Jianyan Years, vol.2, by Li Xinchuan- 'A Memorandum on the Mong-Tatars,'by Zhao Gong- 'A Sketch of the Black Tatars,'by Peng Daya and Xu Ting- 'Spirit-Path Stele for His Honor Yelü, Director of the Secretariat,'by Song Zizhen- 'Notes on a Journey,'by Zhang Dehui Also included are an introduction, index, bibliography, and appendices covering notes on the texts, tables and charts, and a glossary of Chinese and transcribed terms.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'In his introduction to this most welcome republication (and second edition) of his logic text, Heil clarifies his aim in writing and revising this book: ''I believe that anyone unfamiliar with the subject who set out to learn formal logic could do so relying solely on [this] book. That, in any case, is what I set out to create in writing An Introduction to First-Order Logic.'' Heil has certainly accomplished this with perhaps the most explanatorily thorough and pedagogically rich text I've personally come across. 'Heil''s text stands out as being remarkably careful in its presentation and illuminating in its explanations-especially given its relatively short length when compared to the average logic textbook. It hits all of the necessary material that must be covered in an introductory deductive logic course, and then some. It also takes occasional excursions into side topics, successfully whetting the reader's appetite for more advanced studies in logic. 'The book is clearly written by an expert who has put in the effort for his readers, bothering at every step to see the point and then explain it clearly to his readers. Heil has found some very clever, original ways to introduce, motivate, and otherwise teach this material. The author''s own special expertise and perspective-especially when it comes to tying philosophy of mind, linguistics, and philosophy of language into the lessons of logic-make for a creative and fresh take on basic logic. With its unique presentation and illuminating explanations, this book comes about as close as a text can come to imitating the learning environment of an actual classroom. Indeed, working through its presentations carefully, the reader feels as though he or she has just attended an illuminating lecture on the relevant topics!' -Jonah Schupbach, University of Utah.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Drawn from greater Syria, northern Mesopotamia, and Egypt, the sources in this anthology-many of which are translated into English for the first time here--provide eyewitness and contemporary historical accounts of what unfolded in the eastern Mediterranean and the Near East between the eleventh and fourteenth centuries. In providing representative examples of the many disparate types of Muslim sources, this volume opens a window onto life in the Islamic Near East during the Crusader period and the interactions between Franks and Muslims in the broader context of Islamic history. Ideally suited for use in undergraduate courses on the Crusades or the pre-modern Islamic Near East, this anthology will also appeal to any readers seeking a better understanding of the Islamic response to the Crusades and the general history of the Near East in this period.…
