What Makes a Philosopher Great? Thirteen Arguments for Twelve Philosophers

What Makes a Philosopher Great? Thirteen Arguments for Twelve Philosophers

This book is inspired by a single powerful question. What is it to be great as a philosopher? No single grand answer is presumed to be possible; instead rewardingly close studies of philosophical greatness are developed. This is a scholarly yet accessible volume blending metaphilosophy with the long history of philosophy and traversing centuries and continents. The result is a series of case studies by accomplished scholars each chapter trying to understand and convey a particular philosopher’s greatness: Lloyd P. Gerson on Plato Karyn Lai on Zhuangzi David Bronstein on Aristotle Jonardon Ganeri on Buddhaghosa Jeffrey Hause on Aquinas Gary Hatfield on Descartes Karen Detlefsen on du Chtelet Don Garrett on Hume Allen Wood on Kant (as a moral philosopher) Nicholas F. Stang on Kant (as a metaphysician) Ken Gemes on Nietzsche Cheryl Misak on Peirce David Macarthur on Wittgenstein This also serves a larger philosophical purpose. Might we gain increased clarity about what philosophy is in the first place? After all in practice we individuate philosophy partly through its greatest practitioners’ greatest contributions. The book does not discuss every philosopher who has been regarded as great. The point is not to offer a definitive list of The Great Philosophers but rather to learn something about what great philosophy is and might be from illuminated examples of past greatness. | What Makes a Philosopher Great?

Living with Frailty From Assets and Deficits to Resilience

Increasingly we question ‘what makes us healthy?’ as well as ‘what makes us ill?’. What does this shift mean for frailty? Almost wholly defined in negative terms the term ‘frail’ tends to refer to a group of older people who are at highest risk of adverse outcomes such as falls infections disability admission to hospital or the need for long-term care. This ground-breaking book takes a holistic approach to frailty. It connects the medical literature with the wider social science discourse on ageing and focuses on promoting wellbeing and the building up of strengths. Living with Frailty draws together the latest biomedical evidence and good practice in this emerging area and explores ideas about assets and resilience the role of society and the social model of disability in relation to frailty arguing that insufficient attention is paid to positive action such as developing bone strength maintaining good nutrition and exercising.

Charging for Social Care A Study of Consumer Charges and the Personal Social Services

Charging for Social Care A Study of Consumer Charges and the Personal Social Services

Despite the widely held belief that the social services were allocated solely on the basis of client need and could therefore be directly contrasted with the operation of the private market in the 1970s there remained a wide range of services for which the consumer had to pay directly at the time of consumption. Consumer charges were widely used for example for residential accommodation for the provision of day care and for domiciliary services. Originally published in 1980 Charging for Social Care provided a long overdue examination of the use of these charges in the personal social services. It analyses their historical origins current operation and their social and financial significance. In addition it provides a clear theoretical framework within which pricing policies should be determined and outlines the policy for pricing personal social services in the future. In undertaking this analysis Ken Judge and James Matthews had gone beyond the rhetoric which in the past had characterised discussions about charges. Their detailed and perceptive study was based on a report for the Department of Health and Social Security. It would still be of interest to students and teachers of social policy and social administration to policy makers in both central and local government to students of the economics of social policy and of the public sector to social workers and to all those with an interest in the personal social services and in public spending decisions. | Charging for Social Care A Study of Consumer Charges and the Personal Social Services

Free Will Responsibility and Crime An Introduction

Free Will Responsibility and Crime An Introduction

In his book philosopher and law professor Ken Levy explains why he agrees with most people but not with most other philosophers about free will and responsibility. Most people believe that we have both – that is that our choices decisions and actions are neither determined nor undetermined but rather fully self-determined. By contrast most philosophers understand just how difficult it is to defend this metaphysical libertarian position. So they tend to opt for two other theories: responsibility skepticism (which denies the very possibility of free will and responsibility) and compatibilism (which reduces free will and responsibility to properties that are compatible with determinism). In opposition to both of these theories Levy explains how free will and responsibility are indeed metaphysically possible. But he also cautions against the dogma that metaphysical libertarianism is actually true a widespread belief that continues to cause serious social political and legal harms. Levy’s book presents a crisp tight historically informed discussion with fresh clarity insight and originality. It will become one of the definitive resources for students academics and general readers in this critical intersection among metaphysics ethics and criminal law. Key features: Presents a unique qualified defense of metaphysical libertarianism the idea that our choices decisions and actions can be fully self-determined. Written clearly accessibly and with minimal jargon – rare for a book on the very difficult issues of free will and responsibility. Seamlessly connects philosophical legal psychological and political issues. Will be provocative and insightful for professional philosophers students and non-philosophers. | Free Will Responsibility and Crime An Introduction
