Phenomenology and The Ghost in The Machine: An Investigation into Wilfrid Sellars, Jean--Paul Sartre, Gilbert Ryle and The Concept of Mind
Take a journey through Jean-Paul Sartre's trans-phenomena of consciousness, into Gilbert Ryle's Linguistic Behaviourism and on to the outer reaches of Wilfrid Sellars' Rylean ancestors and their 'Messianic Behaviourist' Jones. Phenomenology and the Ghost in the Machine begins by investigating a historical connection between Jean-Paul Sartre and Gilbert Ryle. The book exploits this connection to explore an attractive relationship between ordinary language and consciousness, thus providing plenty of chances for readers to learn Sartre's phenomenology and Ryle's linguistic analysis of the mind along the way. This work is a one way ticket to the outer reaches of the mind, arguing that language is insufficient to ground a theory of mind because it fails to capture sublinguistic layers of thought. Only a 'first person science' exploring the nature of mind, and heralded by a return to a Pre-Fregeian Psychologism, can penetrate these mysteries of thought.
The Blake-Feyerabend Hypothesis
Written by Timb D. Hoswell, one of Australia's foremost cutting edge philosophers, The Blake-Feyerabend Hypothesis is the cultivation of radical research into the very foundations of knowledge. Controversial, defiant, and audacious, it begins by reducing Darwinian epistemology to a logical paradox, before progressing rapidly to establish a new post atheist branch of philosophy, while at the same time, demolishing over four hundred years of traditional Western Philosophy.Hailed as a seminal text in the Philosophy of the Imagination, and the primus opus of the Nuevo-neo wave of philosophy, Hoswell brings together long forgotten atheists, linguistic, historical, and scientific evidence, as well as contemporary analytic sources and puts them within a framework laid out by the radical English poet William Blake, and the French Anarchist thinker Paul Feyerabend, in order to show that imagination and human creativity are the real underlying sources of human knowledge.
The Blake Feyerabend Hypothesis Neo-Edition
Forced into premature publication, The Blake-Feyerabend Hypothesis created controversy from the moment it became known to the world. At the centre of this philosophical work is the Cartesian Quandary: a riddle about God and knowledge. For Descartes had argued that while man believed in God, man could believe that God had endowed man with the reason to understand the universe. However, Descartes also claimed that the less power and intelligence one ascribed to their Maker, the less reason they had to trust their own rationale minds, for if God did not exist, then how could man believe that he had been endowed with reason to understand the universe? Indeed, if man's reason, itself, was a mere ...
Aquinas, The Zika Virus and the argument for Catholic Abortion
In ""Aquinas, The Zika Virus and the Argument for Catholic Abortion"" Timb D. Hoswell argues that a return to the doctrine of ensoulment, as evinced by the Middle Church Fathers and enlightened by Aquinas would provide grounds for limited cases of Catholic Abortion within the scope and cosmos of Catholic Philosophy. The doctrine of ensoulment contains the principle that 'only a body fit for rational ensoulment can be rationally ensouled'. Thus in cases of the Zika Virus where the damage is of such severity it results in a privation of the human form, rational ensoulment is impossible, and thus abortion is not an act of murder, nor homicide since the effects of the virus place the foetus beyond rational ensoulment. The book also argues for Catholic reincarnation based on Christ's revelation that John the Baptist is Elijah, as well the possibility of a soul for Artificial Intelligence, clones, alien life forms and other forms of rational being with an embryogenesis different from our own.
Gilbert Ryle & Jean Paul Sartre, Spiritus Ex Machina
Gilbert Ryle was one of the most famous philosophers last century. His work The Concept of Mind started a revolution within Analytic Philosophy of Mind. Ryle's revolutionary insight was to reconstruct the mind from the ordinary language of everyday people. Yet few people know that Ryle was himself deeply influenced by Jean-Paul Sartre. This work plumbs those depths beginning with an interview Ryle gave shortly before he died and a confession that he used Sartre's argument on Hume in his work. The book is the perfect introduction for the budding Philosopher, Psychologist or Psychiatrist interested in Ryle's work, while offering new surprises for the dedicated Analytic Philosopher or Rylean scholar.
