This chapter is an account of Cohen’s early education, from his primary school until his doctorate at the University of Berlin in 1865. Cohen first intended to be a rabbi and attended the rabbinical seminary in Breslau. A controversy there surrounding the liberal views of the new head of the seminar, Zacharias Frankel, propelled Cohen to abandon his rabbinical career. He then attended the University of Breslau and the University of Berlin, where he was supervised by Adolf Trendelenburg. Cohen’s dissertation anticipates important doctrines of his later philosophy, especially his Platonic ideali

Abstract:
Have you ever called yourself a “pragmatist”? Have you ever wondered what that means? The author traces the origins of pragmatism to a theory of belief defended by the nineteenth-century Scottish philosopher Alexander Bain, and defends it in light of contemporary cognitive neuroscience, social psychology, and evolutionary biology. Pragmatists define our beliefs in terms of information poised to guide our more attentive, controlled actions. The author describes the consequences of this definition for the reader’s thinking on the relation between psychology and philosophy, the mind and brain, th

This introductory chapter presents some metaphilosophical and historical reasons to take interest in Brentano. Historically, Brentano’s influence runs much deeper, at a subterranean level, than a cursory acquaintance with the prehistory of twentieth-century philosophy might suggest. Metaphilosophically, Brentano’s conception of philosophy itself – how and why it is to be done – merits attentive consideration. For Brentano combines a methodological commitment to the analytic rigor with the philosophical ambition of crafting a grand philosophical system in the classical sense, attempting to prod

The topic of history was not a principal theme of the classical American Pragmatists, but in this book Marnie Binder presents the case for a pragmatist philosophy of history, examining supporting material from William James, John Dewey, F.C.S.

While the thinkers explored here have significant differences among themselves, together they provide distinct contributions to a fuller picture of what guides our selective memory and our present attention, and they indicate how this is all maintained via confirmation in the future.

Experts from wine tasters to radiologists to bird watchers have all undergone perceptual learning—that is, long-term changes in perception that result from practice or experience.

This book uses recent evidence from psychology and neuroscience to show that perceptual learning is genuinely perceptual, rather than post-perceptual. It also offers a way for philosophers to dist

Legal theory, though more sensitive to our epistemic limitations, has nevertheless focused on the most practical issues that revolve around risk, paying little attention to those not already attended to

Rorty and the Prophetic interrogates and provides a constructive assessment to the American neo-pragmatist philosopher Richard Rorty’s critiques of Jewish ethics.

As a self-described secular philosopher, it comes as no surprise that Rorty does not find public applicability within a divinely-ordered Jewish ethic. Rorty also rejects the French Jewish philosopher Emmanuel Levinas’s ethics, which is based upon the notion of infinite responsibility to the Face of t

According to some, like Rabelais, humour is alleged to be distinctively human, a property of our species and no other. But even if that is not the case, humour seems to be a nearly universal component of human societies.
