Wittgenstein's On Certainty: Insight and Method (SpringerBriefs in Philosophy)
by Robert Greenleaf BriceThis book considers the important twentieth century Austrian philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and his conception of certainty. In his work entitled On Certainty, Wittgenstein provides not only a brilliant solution to a previously intractable philosophical problem, but also the elements of an entirely new way of approaching this and similar longstanding, apparently unresolvable, problems. In On Certainty, he re-conceives the problem of radical skepticism–the claim that we can never really be certain of anything except the contents of our own minds–as a kind of philosophical “disease” of thought. His approach to the problem, which is emphasized in the book, is similar to the treatment of disease, has two main goals: (1) bring about an awareness in the philosopher that this kind of extreme skepticism is not a methodological approach to be taken seriously, and, with this awareness, (2) an attempt to replace this radical skepticism with a practical, Common Sense framework. Implicit in Wittgenstein’s approach are a number of strategies found in a contemporary approach to psychotherapy known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These strategies, along with philosophical methods and scientific practices rooted in the Scottish School of Common Sense, seek to diagnose and treat irrational thoughts and beliefs that often emerge (and re-emerge) in the discipline of philosophy. The aim of this book, then, is to provide students of philosophy with the tools necessary to adjust and reshape these irrational, self-defeating thoughts and beliefs into something new, something healthy.

Working with Time in Qualitative Research: Case Studies, Theory and Practice (Routledge Research in Anticipation and Futures)
by Keri FacerThis volume creates a conversation between researchers who are actively exploring how working with and reflecting upon time and temporality in the research process can generate new accounts and understandings of social and cultural phenomena and bring new ways of knowing and being into existence. The book makes a significant contribution to the enhancement of the social sciences and humanities by charting research methods that link reflectively articulate notions of time to knowledge production in these areas. Contributors explore how researchers are beginning to adopt tactics such as time visibility, hacking time, making time, witnessing temporal power and caring for temporal disruptions as resources for qualitative research. The book collects fields as disparate as futures studies and history, literary analysis and urban design, utopian studies, and science and technology studies, bringing together those who are working with temporality reflexively as a powerful epistemological tool for scholarship and research inquiry. It surfaces and foregrounds the methodological challenges and possibilities raised. In so doing, this collection will serve as a resource for both new and experienced researchers in the humanities and social sciences, seeking to understand the tools that are emerging, both theoretical and methodological, for working with time as part of research design. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of research methods, time and temporality, future studies, and the environmental humanities.

¡Necesito un filósofo!: Las grandes preguntas de los más pequeños
by Scott HershovitzUna aventura divertida e inteligente para abordar las grandes preguntas del universo con ayuda de reputados filósofos... y dos niños pequeños. Los más pequeños son filósofos excepcionales, pues se cuestionan constantemente aquello que los rodea e intentan descifrar el funcionamiento del mundo. Con sus dos hijos Rex y Hank como guías, el profesor de filosofía Scott Hershovitz lleva al lector en un viaje a través de la filosofía clásica y contemporánea mediante cuestiones tan importantes como «¿Tiene Hank derecho a beber Fanta?», «¿En qué situaciones está permitido decir palabrotas?» o «¿Existe el número seis?». En este libro ágil y entretenido sobre el arte de pensar, Hershovitz acomete grandes preguntas sobre derechos, venganza, castigos y autoridad; sexo, género y raza; la naturaleza de la verdad y del conocimiento; o la existencia de Dios. Una invitación a que cultivemos esa capacidad innata e infantil que tenemos todos demaravillarnos por el mundo que habitamos y, con ello, convertirnos en pensadores más agudos. La crítica ha dicho...«Divertido y fascinante. ¡Necesito un filósofo! es un manual básico fácil de leer que explora cómo discutir estos temas tan profundos con niños, además de cómo pensar sobre ellos tú mismo».Pamela Druckerman, autora de Cómo ser una mamá cruasán: una nueva forma de educar con sentido común «Este libro te enseñará a transformar las interminables preguntas propias de la infancia en la interminable maravilla de la filosofía».Barry Lam, presentador y productor ejecutivo del podcast Hi-Phi Nation, profesor asociado de filosofía del Vassar College «Este encantador libro habla de filosofía y, en definitiva, de cómo querer mejor a los hijos».Aaron James, profesor de filosofía en UC Irvine
