Winner of the hegelpd-prize 2022 Contemporary philosophical
discourse has deeply problematized the possibility of absolute
existence. Hegel's Foundation Free Metaphysics demonstrates that by
reading Hegel's Doctrine of the Concept in his Science of Logic as
a form of Absolute Dialetheism, Hegel's logic of the concept can
account for the possibility of absolute existence. Through a close
examination of Hegel's concept of self-referential universality in
his Science of Logic, Moss demonstrates how Hegel's concept of
singularity is designed to solve a host of metaphysical and
epistemic paradoxes central to this problematic. He illustrates how
Hegel's revolutionary account of universality, particularity, and
singularity offers solutions to six problems that have plagued the
history of Western philosophy: the problem of nihilism, the problem
of instantiation, the problem of the missing difference, the
problem of absolute empiricism, the problem of onto-theology, and
the third man regress. Moss shows that Hegel's affirmation and
development of a revised ontological argument for God's existence
is designed to establish the necessity of absolute existence. By
adopting a metaphysical reading of Richard Dien Winfield's
foundation free epistemology, Moss critically engages dominant
readings and contemporary debates in Hegel scholarship. Hegel's
Foundation Free Metaphysics will appeal to scholars interested in
Hegel, German Idealism, 19th- and 20th-century European philosophy,
metaphysics, epistemology, and contemporary European thought.
While indeterminacy is a recurrent theme in philosophy, less
progress has been made in clarifying its significance for various
philosophical and interdisciplinary contexts. This collection
brings together early-career and well-known philosophers-including
Graham Priest, Trish Glazebrook, Steven Crowell, Robert Neville,
Todd May, and William Desmond-to explore indeterminacy in greater
detail. The volume is unique in that its essays demonstrate the
positive significance of indeterminacy, insofar as indeterminacy
opens up new fields of discourse and illuminates neglected aspects
of various concepts and phenomena. The essays are organized
thematically around indeterminacy's impact on various areas of
philosophy, including post-Kantian idealism, phenomenology, ethics,
hermeneutics, aesthetics, and East Asian philosophy. They also take
an interdisciplinary approach by elaborating the conceptual
connections between indeterminacy and literature, music, religion,
and science.

Joseph A. Schumpeter was one of the great economists of the
twentieth century. His History of Economic Analsyis is perhaps the
greatest contribution to the history of economics, providing a
magisterial account of the development of the subject from Ancient
Greece to the mid-twentieth century. Schumpeter's views on his
predecessors have proved to be a constant source of controversy.
Here individual chapters examine such disparate questions as
Schumpeter's apparent disregard for the American Institutionalists,
his grudging respect for Adam Smith, the perspicacity of his views
of Quesnay and his preference for Walras over Pareto. Four chapters
are devoted to the early Medieval schools, neglected in all of his
writings. Schumpeter's magnum opus is related to the rest of his
economic output, especially his views on money and on methodology.
With contributions by leading historians of economics from six
countries, this volume analyses Schumpeter's contribution to the
history of economics, considers its lasting significance, and uses
it as a benchmark to assess the current state of the field.

This book discusses major milestones in Rohit Jivanlal Parikh's
scholarly work. Highlighting the transition in Parikh's interest
from formal languages to natural languages, and how he approached
Wittgenstein's philosophy of language, it traces the academic
trajectory of a brilliant scholar whose work opened up various new
avenues in research. This volume is part of Springer's book series
Outstanding Contributions to Logic, and honours Rohit Parikh and
his works in many ways. Parikh is a leader in the realm of ideas,
offering concepts and definitions that enrich the field and lead to
new research directions. Parikh has contributed to a variety of
areas in logic, computer science and game theory. In mathematical
logic his contributions have been in recursive function theory,
proof theory and non-standard analysis; in computer science, in the
areas of modal, temporal and dynamic logics of programs and
semantics of programs, as well as logics of knowledge; in
artificial intelligence in the area of belief revision; and in game
theory in the formal analysis of social procedures, with a strong
undercurrent of philosophy running through all his work.This is not
a collection of articles limited to one theme, or even directly
connected to specific works by Parikh, but instead all papers are
inspired and influenced by Parikh in some way, adding structures to
and enriching "Parikh-land". The book presents a brochure-like
overview of Parikh-land before providing an "introductory video" on
the sights and sounds that you experience when reading the book.

John R. Searle's 1995 publication "The Construction of Social
Reality" is the foundation of this collection of scholarly papers
examining Searle's philosophical theories. The book works to
reconstruct the ontology of the social sciences through an analysis
of linguistic practices in the context of John Searle's celebrated
work on intentionality. The authors provide rich and varied
critical appraisals of Searle's original text.

By drawing on the insights of diverse scholars from around the
globe, this volume systematically investigates the meaning and
reality of the concept of negation in Post-Kantian
Philosophy-German Idealism, Early German Romanticism, and
Neo-Kantianism. The reader benefits from the historical, critical,
and systematic investigations contained which trace not only the
significance of negation in these traditions, but also the role it
has played in shaping the philosophical landscape of Post-Kantian
philosophy. By drawing attention to historically neglected thinkers
and traditions, and positioning the dialogue within a global and
comparative context, this volume demonstrates the enduring
relevance of Post-Kantian philosophy for philosophers thinking in
today's global context. This text should appeal to graduate
students and professors of German Idealism, Post-Kantian
philosophy, comparative philosophy, German studies, and
intellectual history.
This updated edition retains its introduction to applied
fundamental statistics, probability, reliability, and decision
theory as these pertain to problems in Civil Engineering. The new
edition adds an expanded treatment of systems reliability, Bayesian
methods, and spatial variabililty, along with additional example
problems throughout. The book provides readers with the tools
needed to determine the probability of failure, and when multiplied
by the consequences of failure, illustrates how to assess the risk
of civil engineering problems. Presenting methods for quantifying
uncertainty that exists in engineering analysis and design, with an
emphasis on fostering more accurate analysis and design, the text
is ideal for students and practitioners of a range of civil
engineering disciplines. Expands on the class-tested pedagogy from
the first edition with more material and more examples; Broadens
understanding with simulations coded both in Matlab and in R;
Features new chapters on spatial variability and Bayesian methods;
Emphasizes techniques for estimating the influence of uncertainty
on the probability of failure
