  • Hume's Abject Failure

    The Argument Against Miracles

    by John Earman ...
    This vital study offers a new interpretation of Hume's famous "Of Miracles," which notoriously argues against the possibility of miracles. By situating Hume's popular argument in the context of the eighteenth-century debate on miracles, Earman shows Hume's argument to be largely unoriginal and chiefly without merit where it is original. Yet Earman constructively conceives how progress can be made ... Read more

  • Ceterus Paribus Laws

    Edited by John Earman, Clark Glymour, Sandra Mitchell ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Natural and social sciences seem very often, though usually only implicitly, to hedge their laws by ceteris paribus clauses - a practice which is philosophically very hard to understand because such clauses seem to render the laws trivial and unfalsifiable. After early worries the issue is vigorously discussed in the philosophy of science and the philosophy of mind since ca. 15 years.This volume ... Read more

  • Probability: A Very Short Introduction

    A Very Short Introduction

  • Constructing the World

    by David J. Chalmers ...
    David Chalmers develops a picture of reality on which all truths can be derived from a limited class of basic truths. The picture is inspired by Rudolf Carnap's construction of the world in Der Logische Aufbau Der Welt. Carnap's Aufbau is often seen as a noble failure, but Chalmers argues that a version of the project can succeed. With the right basic elements and the right derivation relation, we ... Read more

  • Self-Knowledge for Humans

    by Quassim Cassam ...
