The debate on the status and legality of cannabis continues to gain momentum. Here, personal anecdotes combined with academic and scientific reports combine to sharpen some of the fascinating philosophical issues associated with cannabis use. * A frank, professionally informed and playful discussion of cannabis usage in relation to philosophical inquiry * Considers the meaning of a 'high', the morality of smoking marijuana for pleasure, the slippery slope to more dangerous drugs, and the human drive to alter our consciousness * Not only incorporates contributions from philosophers, psychologists, sociologists or legal, pharmacological, and medical experts, but also non-academics associated with the cultivation, distribution, and sale of cannabis * Brings together an international team of writers from the United States, Canada, UK, Finland, Switzerland, South Africa, and New Zealand
This distinctive anthology includes many of the most important
recent contributions to the philosophy of mathematics. The featured
papers are organized thematically, rather than chronologically, to
provide the best overview of philosophical issues connected with
mathematics and the development of mathematical knowledge. Coverage
ranges from general topics in mathematical explanation and the
concept of number, to specialized investigations of the ontology of
mathematical entities and the nature of mathematical truth, models
and methods of mathematical proof, intuitionistic mathematics, and
philosophical foundations of set theory. This volume explores the central problems and exposes intriguing
new directions in the philosophy of mathematics, making it an
essential teaching resource, reference work, and research
guide. The book complements "Philosophy of Logic: An Anthology" and "A Companion to Philosophical Logic, "also edited by Dale Jacquette (Blackwell 2001).
This volume provides a comprehensive collection of classic and
contemporary readings in the philosophy of logic. The selections
include some of the most important, technically exact, yet lucid
and readable expositions of central concepts and controversies in
philosophical logic. Areas of coverage include classical logic,
truth, propositions and meaning, quantifiers and quantificational
theory, validity, inference and entailment, and modality,
intensionality and propositional attitude. Since the articles are written from a variety of perspectives,
the reader is able to critically assess the background and current
trends in philosophical applications of symbolic logic. The volume
also examines the limitations of classical and nonstandard
logics. The book complements "Philosophy of Mathematics: An Anthology" and "A Companion to Philosophical Logic, "also edited by Dale Jacquette.
