Studies in Logical Theory

John Dewey

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "Studies in Logical Theory," John Dewey presents a comprehensive exploration of logic, emphasizing its practical implications in human experience and inquiry. This work is characterized by a blend of analytic rigor and philosophical reflection, challenging traditional notions of static truth and advocating for a more dynamic understanding of logic intertwined with experience. Dewey asserts that logical reasoning is not merely an abstract discipline but is fundamentally rooted in human activity, emphasizing the importance of context and adaptability in thought processes—an argument that situates his work within the pragmatist tradition emerging at the turn of the 20th century. John Dewey, a prominent figure in American philosophy and education, was instrumental in shaping the pragmatist school of thought. His experiences as an educator and philosopher led him to prioritize practical consequences in logical analysis, reflecting his belief that knowledge should be actionable and responsive to real-world situations. Dewey's educational background in psychology and his commitment to democratic ideals profoundly influenced his philosophical inquiries, ultimately culminating in this seminal work that bridges the divide between logic and experiential learning. "Studies in Logical Theory" is an essential read for those interested in the intersections of logic, psychology, and education. Dewey's insights encourage readers to reconsider the purpose of reasoning in a rapidly changing world, making this book not just a theoretical treatise but also a guide for practical decision-making. For educators, philosophers, and students alike, Dewey's work remains a crucial text that challenges us to think critically and apply logic thoughtfully within our lived experiences.

Beyond Survival - Strategies and...

Leah Lakshmi...

Transformative justice seeks to solve the problem of violence at the grassroots level, without relying on punishment, incarceration, or policing. Community-based approaches to preventing crime and repairing its damage have existed for centuries. However, in the putative atmosphere of contemporary criminal justice systems, they are often marginalized and operate under the radar. Beyond Survival puts these strategies front and center as real alternatives to today's failed models of confinement and "correction." 
 
 
 
In this collection, a diverse group of authors focuses on concrete and practical forms of redress and accountability, assessing existing practices and marking paths forward. They use a variety of forms—from toolkits to personal essays—to delve deeply into the "how to" of transformative justice, providing alternatives to calling the police, ways to support people having mental health crises, stories of community-based murder investigations, and much more. At the same time, they document the history of this radical movement, creating space for long-time organizers to reflect on victories, struggles, mistakes, and transformations.

Ancient Greece’s Most...

Editors Charles River

In virtually all fields of human endeavor, ancient Greece was so much at the forefront of dynamism and innovation that the products of its most brilliant minds remain not only influential but entirely relevant to this day. The great philosophers of Athens, men like Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato, interrogated themselves with startling complexity about the nature of good and evil, questioned the existence of divinity, advocated intelligent design, and went so far as to argue that all life was composed of infinitesimal particles.  
	Although the school of philosophy started by Socrates and championed by Plato and Aristotle continues to be the most famous, other schools of thought began to branch, including the Epicureans and Cynics. In the 3rd century B.C., Stoicism arose in response to and under the influence of these older schools, combining many of the best theories from each into a more cohesive whole. With a greater flexibility and more practical application to everyday life, Stoicism quickly became a very popular school of thought, a growth made exponential by its introduction to the Romans.  
Today, very few have heard of him, but he became a major philosophical and religious figure through the publication of his thoughts, travels, and miracles by Philostratus the Elder (c. 170-247 A.D.), written about a century after Apollonius of Tyana’s death. Philostratus the Elder’s works were based on the works of other writers (Maximus of Aegae, Damis, and Moeragenes), and miracles attributed to Apollonius were often compared to those of Jesus, who lived around the same time. Apollonius’s cult was important throughout the whole of the Pagan era and even carried on into the Middle Ages. Why such an important philosopher has been so forgotten by modern historians is in itself an interesting issue, and it is just as crucial to understand what Apollonius preached and the information he provided about his contemporary world.

Summary: The Devil in the White...

Brooks Bryant

Disclaimer: This is not the official book, but a summary & it does not accompany the official.
Architect Daniel H. Burnham faces the mammoth task of constructing the fairground, a utopian city which would come to be known as "The White City." His vision of grandeur, innovation, and beauty aims to surpass the Parisian Eiffel Tower and establish America's cultural ascendancy in the world. Through herculean efforts, Burnham coordinates a vast number of workers, battling time constraints, tragedy, and countless other hurdles to turn his dream into reality.
In contrast, lurking in the shadows of this shimmering facade, Dr. H. H. Holmes utilizes the fair's attractions to lure victims into his specially constructed "Murder Castle," a horrifying structure equipped with secret passageways, gas chambers, and a crematorium. His charming demeanor and ruthless intelligence facilitate a series of grim murders, marking him as one of America's first recorded serial killers.
As you journey through our summary, explore the dual narratives that paint a vivid picture of the time period, encapsulating the heights of human achievement and the dark underbelly of its sins. Larson's meticulous research and mesmerizing storytelling breathe life into a bygone era, delving into the minds of the men who shaped it — one with a vision of beauty, the other with a vision of horror.
Witness the transformative period in American history, where unprecedented feats of ingenuity stood side by side with unimaginable cruelty. "The Devil in the White City" unveils the thin line between genius and madness, progress and destruction, that defines humanity.

The Misery of Christianity - A...

Joachim Kahl

In this provocative and newly expanded edition, Joachim Kahl challenges the very foundations of Christianity, arguing that the religion has failed to live up to the ideals of its founder. Kahl contends that the gospel of Christ, far from being a message of love and compassion, has instead been used to justify the persecution of Jews, the suppression of women and sexuality, and a cynical indifference to social reform.
Now, half a century after its original publication, Kahl's searing critique is more relevant than ever. This updated translation includes previously untranslated sections from the latest German edition, delving deeper into the role of institutional religion in perpetuating inequality and injustice. Kahl also reflects on the enduring significance of his arguments in light of global events and shifting religious landscapes.
Prepare to have your assumptions about Christianity challenged and your mind opened to a bold new perspective. This thought-provoking work is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complex and often troubling relationship between faith, power, and social change.
Joachim Kahl's compelling journey from theology to secular humanism is masterfully captured in this thought-provoking book. Born in war-torn Germany, Kahl's quest for truth led him from the pulpit to the lectern, as he grappled with the profound questions of our time. With a philosopher's insight and an activist's passion, Kahl invites readers to join him on a transformative exploration of reason, ethics, and the human condition.
