The Incomplete Universe: Totality, Knowledge, and Truth

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Grim, Patrick, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), The central claim of this powerful philosophical exploration is that within any logic we have, there can be no coherent notion of all truth or of total knowledge. Grim examines a series of logical paradoxes and related formal results to reveal their implications for contemporary epistemology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of religion. He reaches the provocative conclusion that, if the universe is thought of in terms of its truths, it is essentially open and incomplete. "The Incomplete Universe" includes detailed work on the liar paradox and recent attempts at solution, Kaplan and Montague's paradox of the knower, the Godel theorems and related incompleteness phenomena, and new forms of Cantorian argument. The emphasis throughout is philosophical rather than formal, with an eye to connection's with possible worlds, the notion of omniscience, and the opening lines of the Tractatus: "The world is all that is the case. "

Scandalous Knowledge: Science, Truth and the Human

Scandalous Knowledge: Science, Truth and the Human: This book explores the radical reconceptions of knowledge and science emerging from constructivist epistemology, social studies of science, and contemporary cognitive science. Smith reviews the key issues involved in the twentieth-century critiques of traditional views of human knowledge and scientific truth and gives an extensively informed explanation of the alternative accounts developed by Fleck, Kuhn, Foucault, Latour, and others. She also addresses the various anxieties (e.g., over 'relativism') and 'wars' occasioned by these developments, placing them in their historical contexts and arguing that they are largely misplaced or spurious. Smith then examines the currently perplexed relations between the natural and human sciences, the grandiose claims and dubious methods of evolutionary psychology, and the complex play of naturalist, humanist, and posthumanist ideologies in contemporary views of the relation between humans and animals.

Truth at Last: The Untold Story Behind James Earl Ray and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ray, John Larry / Barsten, Lyndon, PUBLISHER: Lyons Press, For nearly forty years, the conviction of James Earl Ray for the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. has been the subject of intense inquiry and debate by historians and researchers. Was Ray-a small-town petty thief-really the criminal mastermind and lone gunman prosecutors said he was? Or was he a pawn in a broader conspiracy that involved the U.S. government? His case never went to trial, and many, including the King family, concluded that there had been a conspiracy. A government investigation in concluded that there was no evidence to suggest it. In Truth at Last, Ray's eldest brother, John Larry Ray, and MLK historian Lyndon Barsten offer incontrovertible evidence that James Earl Ray could not have acted alone. Barsten draws on scores of personal interviews and more than Freedom of Information Act requests-including Ray's Army personnel file. John Larry Ray adds family background and never-before-seen photos. Together, they offer a startling new look at Ray's life, his encounters with the Feds and the Mob, and the crime that shook the world.
