Free Download The Philosophy of Inquiry and Global Problems: The Intellectual Revolution Needed to Create a Better World
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031494903 | 540 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 4 MB
Universities have long been dominated by a philosophy of inquiry that may be called knowledge-inquiry. This holds that, in order to do justice to the basic humanitarian aim of helping to promote human welfare, academic inquiry must, in the first instance, seek knowledge and technological know-how. First, knowledge is to be acquired; once acquired, it can be applied to help promote human welfare. But this philosophy of knowledge-inquiry is an intellectual and humanitarian disaster. It violates three of the four most elementary rules of rational problem solving conceivable, and as a result fails to give priority to the task of helping humanity resolve those conflicts and problems of living, such as the climate and nature crises, that need to be resolved if we are to make progress to a better world - a world in which there is peace, democracy, justice, liberty, and sustainable prosperity, for all. Very few academics today are aware of this rationality scandal. We urgently need to bring about a revolution in universities around the world, wherever possible, so that academic inquiry puts all four rules of rational problem solving into practice, and becomes rationally devoted to helping humanity learn how to make progress towards a better world. Knowledge-inquiry needs to become wisdom-inquiry, rationally devoted to helping humanity create a wiser world.

Free Download Number Concepts: An Interdisciplinary Inquiry
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1009462539 | 100 Pages | PDF (True) | 3.4 MB
This Element, written for researchers and students in philosophy and the behavioral sciences, reviews and critically assesses extant work on number concepts in developmental psychology and cognitive science. It has four main aims. First, it characterizes the core commitments of mainstream number cognition research, including the commitment to representationalism, the hypothesis that there exist certain number-specific cognitive systems, and the key milestones in the development of number cognition. Second, it provides a taxonomy of influential views within mainstream number cognition research, along with the central challenges these views face. Third, it identifies and critically assesses a series of core philosophical assumptions often adopted by number cognition researchers. Finally, the Element articulates and defends a novel version of pluralism about number concepts.

Free Download Şevket Benhür Oral, "Granularity: An Ontological Inquiry Into Justice and Holistic Education"
English | ISBN: 303141537X | 2023 | 490 pages | EPUB, PDF | 945 KB + 15 MB
This book presents an original exploration of philosophical questions pertaining to the ways we grasp the Absolute by bringing together the Buddhist notion of interpermeation of all phenomena into contemporary strains of thought in continental philosophy. This text introduces an ontological concept, granularity, deploying it to probe questions concerning the intersection of ontology, ethics, and education. A wide range of issues in metaphysics are covered―including being, nothingness, unity, plurality, truth, change, transformation, subjectivity, contradiction, coherence, potentiality―from the perspective of thinkers such as Hegel, Heidegger, Badiou, Meillassoux, Malabou, Žižek, and Harman. The text deploys granularity in arguing for an ethics of unconditional hospitality within education. This volume is intended for students and researchers working in the areas of philosophy of education, philosophy of religion, and continental philosophy.

Free Download Model-Based Inquiry in Biology: Three-Dimensional Instructional Units for Grades 9-12 by Ron Gray, Todd Campbell
English | April 10, 2023 | ISBN: 168140673X | 420 pages | PDF | 10 Mb
You shouldn't have to scavenge for high-quality curriculum materials that both center around real-world phenomena and align with A Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards. And now you don't have to-thanks to Model-Based Inquiry in Biology: Three-Dimensional Instructional Units for Grades 9-12. This book will help you engage your biology students in constructing, critiquing, revising, and testing models to explain how things happen in the world. The book is divided into two parts: Section 1 introduces model-based inquiry (MBI) and the ideas that frame it. Section 2 contains four complete MBI biology units. All come with the background, examples, and guidance you need to lead students to their final evidence-based explanations of the phenomena that anchor each unit. The units cover four areas: molecules and organisms, ecosystems, heredity, and biological evolution. The curriculum builds strategically from unit to unit and integrates disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and science and engineering practices. The authors-experts in model-based teaching and learning-tested each unit in actual classrooms. They make it clear that by using modeling to explain events, you can shift the emphasis of your biology lessons away from "we need to learn about this topic in order to do well in class" to "we need to figure out why or how something happens." Model-Based Inquiry in Biology will help you to create meaningful learning experiences for your students as they strive to make sense of the world around them.

Free Download Delusions and Beliefs: A Philosophical Inquiry By Kengo Miyazono
2018 | 122 Pages | ISBN: 1138242713 | PDF | 1 MB
What sort of mental state is a delusion? What causes delusions? Why are delusions pathological? This book examines these questions, which are normally considered separately, in a much-needed exploration of an important and fascinating topic, Kengo Miyazono assesses the philosophical, psychological and psychiatric literature on delusions to argue that delusions are malfunctioning beliefs. Delusions belong to the same category as beliefs but - unlike healthy irrational beliefs - fail to play the function of beliefs. Delusions and Beliefs: A Philosophical Inquiry will be of great interest to students of philosophy of mind and psychology and philosophy of mental disorder, as well as those in related fields such as mental health and psychiatry.
