  1. Politics and Vision: Continuity and Innovation in Western Political Thought

    Politics and Vision Continuity and Innovation in Western Political Thought is a work of political theory by Princeton Emeritus Professor Sheldon S. Wolin . Part One, consisting of ten chapters and first published in 1960, distinguishes political philosophy from philosophy in general and traces political philosophy from its Platonism Platonic origins to modern day. Part Two, consisting of seven chapters and published along with Part One in a 2004 expanded edition, traces the development of political thought from Marx , Nietzsche , and others up to the late 20th century. Wolin left Part One unaltered in the expanded edition, confining the expressions of his changes in thought about political theory to those sections of Part Two that overlap with Part One. One sign of the significance of the work is the large number of graduate students and professors who for three decades used it as a primary source of guidance in the field of political theory. ref cite book author Aryeh Botwinick and William E.

  1. The Geography of Thought

    Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Richard Nisbett s book The Geography of Thought proposes that the passion for strong ontology and scientific rationality based on forward chaining from axiom s is essentially a Western phenomenon. The ancient Greek passion for abstract categories into which the entire world can be taxonomically arranged, he claims, is prototypically Western, as is the notion of causality . Cquote In Rome intellectual tradition there is no necessary incompatibility between the belief that A is the case and the belief that not A is the case. On the contrary, in the spirit of the Tao or yin yang principle, A can actually imply that not A is also the case, or at any rate soon will be the case . Event philosophy Event s do not occur in isolation from other events, but are always embedded in a meaningful whole in which the elements are constantly changing and rearranging themselves. In the Chinese approach to reasoning, to think about an object or event in isolation and apply abstract rules to it is to invite extreme and mistaken conclusions. It is the Middle Way that is the goal of reasoning. He claims, in other words, that the law of the excluded middle is not applied in Chinese thought, and that a different standard applies. This has been described by other thinkers as being hermeneutic reasonableness . DEFAULTSORT Geography Of Thought Category Logic books Category 2003 books Philo book stub ...   more details
