Jens Timmermann, "Kant's Will at the Crossroads: An Essay on the Failings of Practical Rationality"
English | ISBN: 0192896032 | 2022 | 192 pages | PDF | 2 MB
What happens when human beings fail to do as reason bids? This book is an attempt to address this age-old question within Kant's mature practical philosophy, i.e. the practical philosophy that emerged with the watershed discovery of autonomy in the mid-1780s. As always, Kant is good for a surprise. There is, it is argued, not one answer but two: He advocates Socratic intellectualism in the realm of prudence whilst defending an anti-intellectualist or volitional account of immoral action.

Bernard Williams, "Truth and Truthfulness: An Essay in Genealogy"
English | ISBN: 0691102767 | 2002 | 344 pages | PDF | 2 MB
What does it mean to be truthful? What role does truth play in our lives? What do we lose if we reject truthfulness? No philosopher is better suited to answer these questions than Bernard Williams. Writing with his characteristic combination of passion and elegant simplicity, he explores the value of truth and finds it to be both less and more than we might imagine.

Reason and Nature: An Essay on the Meaning of Scientific Method By Morris R. Cohen
2018 | 470 Pages | ISBN: 1138310573 | PDF | 56 MB
First published in 1931, this volume represents the culmination of twenty years' of the study on the principles of science. Noticing a widespread craving for philosophical light at a time of scant such offerings, Morris R. Cohen aimed to demonstrate here the fundamental and ancient connection between nature and science - between hearts and minds - in an attempt to salve the developing mutual hostility between the two in the 1920s. The volume bears particular relation to George Santayana's Life of Reason and Bertrand Russell's Principles of Mathematics and explores areas including the character of the insurgence against reason and reason in the contexts of the natural and social sciences.

Decentralization and Its Discontents: An Essay on Class, Political Agency and National Perspective in Indonesian Politics By Max R. Lane
2014 | 142 Pages | ISBN: 9814519731 | PDF | 2 MB
"Decentralization is a major trend in Indonesia since the first decades of that nation under Sukarno and Suharto. Max Lane is justly treasured for illuminating those first decades, for example, through his translations of Pramoedya Ananta Toer, and his excellent book, Unfinished Nation: Indonesia Before and After Suharto. Anyone who seeks insights into the current trend of decentralization, whether in Indonesia or other parts of the world, will find this work cogent." - James L. Peacock, Kenan Distinguished Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "This book opens up the discussion on the history and political economy of the new populist policies that seem to gain momentum in the face of the Indonesian elections. It also addresses questions pertaining to the problems and options related to popular aspirations within this context - all of which cannot be explained very well by any of the predominant theses on Indonesia, whether as an oligarchy or a democratically liberal but economically predatory country." - Professor Olle Törnquist, University of Oslo

A Philosophy of the Essay: Scepticism, Experience and Style by Erin Plunkett
English | December 27th, 2018 | ISBN: 1350049980, 1350170488 | 192 pages | True EPUB | 0.26 MB
Erin Plunkett draws from both analytic and continental sources to argue for the philosophical relevance of style, making the case that the essay form is uniquely suited to address the sceptical problem. The authors examined here-Montaigne, Hume, the early German Romantics, Kierkegaard and Stanley Cavell-bring into relief the relationship between scepticism and ordinary life and situate the will to know within a broader frame of meaningful human activity. The formal features of the essay call attention to time, subjectivity, and language as the existential conditions of knowledge.

Daniel Heller-Roazen, "No One's Ways: An Essay on Infinite Naming "
English | ISBN: 1935408887 | 2017 | 336 pages | PDF | 23 MB
Homer recounts how, trapped inside a monster's cave, with nothing but his wits, Ulysses once saved himself by twisting his name. He called himself Outis: "No One" or "Non-One," "No Man" or "Non-Man." The ploy was a success. He blinded his barbaric host and eluded him, becoming anonymous, for a while, even as he bore a name.
