What Beliefs Are Made From

Jonathan Leicester

Beschreibung

What Beliefs Are Made From explores the nature and purpose of belief. The book describes several strange beliefs that have been shared by many members of whole communities. The intellectualistic, dispositional, feeling and eliminativist theories of belief are then examined critically. This is followed by a review of factors that can influence people in their beliefs. These include faulty use of evidence, unconscious reasoning biases, inability to withhold judgement, wishful thinking, prior beliefs, shared beliefs, personal experience, testimony, judgements about the source of testimony, personality, in-group psychology, emotions and feelings, language, symbolism, non-verbal communication, repetition, propaganda, mysticism, rumour, conspiracy theories, and illness. The book also covers beliefs of children and belief during dreaming. The regulation of inquiry by belief and disbelief is described. 
What Beliefs Are Made From is a useful reference for general readers interested in the philosophy of the mind, and the psychology of belief.

Winter Dreams

Francis Scott Fitzgerald

In April the winter ceased abruptly. The snow ran down into Black Bear Lake scarcely tarrying for the early golfers to brave the season with red and black balls. Without elation, without an interval of moist glory, the cold was gone.

Learn German with Thirst for...

Benjamin Recker

Learn German with Thirst for Knowledge is your bilingual German audio series for curious minds. Lesson 1, "10 Strange Phenomena You've Always Wanted to Understand", serves up short, surprising stories about everyday mysteries – from why cola tastes better from a glass bottle to why time sometimes seems to pass faster or why we sometimes feel someone staring at us – while your German improves almost as a side effect.    Each lesson follows a DE–EN–DE pattern: first German, then English, then German again. In a single run-through you connect meaning, sound and phrasing, and strengthen listening, vocabulary and your feel for the language. Use the pause button, say key phrases out loud, adjust playback speed and set yourself tiny goals ("Today I'll remember two sentences"). A quick 24-hour re-listen of the final German part helps anchor what you've learned.    Beginners can enjoy the full three-step cycle and consciously repeat at least one sentence. More advanced learners can focus on the German parts and use the English section only to check comprehension. Two principles guide you all the way: meaning before detail and progress before perfection. Ready? Headphones on, press play – and get a little more fluent, one strange question at a time.    Hinweis: Enthält KI-generierte Stimmen.

Inventing Human Rights - A History

Lynn Hunt

How were human rights invented, and how does their tumultuous history influence their perception and our ability to protect them today? From Professor Lynn Hunt comes this extraordinary cultural and intellectual history, which traces the roots of human rights to the rejection of torture as a means for finding the truth. She demonstrates how ideas of human relationships portrayed in novels and art helped spread these new ideals and how human rights continue to be contested today.
