    The book, volume 42 in the Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science, consists principally of two interconnected essays in theoretical biology. The first, entitled "Biology of Cognition," was written in 1969 by Humberto R. Maturana, a Chilean neurophysiologist and anatomist whose earlier work included studies of vision in birds and the frog. The second essay, "Autopoiesis: the Organization of the Living," is an expansion of certain sections in the first and was written in 1972 by Maturana and Francisco J. (...)

    Anerkennung als Prinzip der praktischen Philosophie. [REVIEW]G. M. - 1980 - Review of Metaphysics 34 (1):164-166.
    Hegel’s concept of Recognition is of continuing interest on several accounts. In the Hegelian system Recognition plays a key role in the development of the natural consciousness to Spirit in the Phenomenology of 1807 and in the development from Subjective to Absolute Spirit in the later Encyclopedia. But apart from its role in the system itself, Hegel’s dialectic of Recognition has seminally infused thinking on intersubjectivity and social theory in Marx, Sartre, Habermas, and others. Siep would apply it in yet (...)

    A History of Philosophy in America. [REVIEW]G. M. - 1980 - Review of Metaphysics 33 (3):625-626.
    Long in the making, large in scholarship and scope, this work is a worthy rival to H. W. Schneider’s A History of American Philosophy. With the possible exception of a few of the treatments of technical developments in logic, the material is accessible to the general reader. Flower and Murphey accomplish this not by any dilution of philosophical substance, but by the supplying of relevant background. This includes a statement of Aristotle’s causes, the medieval distinction between nominalism and realism, Locke’s (...)

    Animal Rights and Human Obligations. [REVIEW]G. M. - 1977 - Review of Metaphysics 30 (3):535-535.
    Although important philosophers have questioned the moral defensibility of our treatment of animals, the topic has never had a significant place in ethical theory. By bringing together papers by authors with diverse views, this anthology focuses attention on the topic which, primarily due to the writings of Peter Singer, has received increasing study in recent years. According to Singer, the major moral theories offer arbitrary bases for giving preference to humans, and so they cannot be used to justify the widespread (...)

    This booklet contains Marx's review of the writings of Dr. Bruno Bauer, a contemporary theologian and social philosopher, on "the Jewish question." Marx identifies Judaism with usury and exploitation of the masses, as do those who, according to Runes in his introduction, "find in Jew-hatred a compensative way of living out the envies of their drab existences."--M.

    Beyond Right and Wrong. [REVIEW]G. M. - 1974 - Review of Metaphysics 28 (1):122-122.
    Professor Girvetz here presents an ethical position which he contends avoids the current, prevalent skepticism about moral knowledge without embracing moral dogmatism. Before this position is developed, the sources of moral skepticism and some major attempts to escape it are discussed. Cultural relativism, Freudian psychology, ideologism, the interest theory of value and emotivism, theories often held to substantiate skepticism, are deemed unsatisfactory or unsupportive of skeptical results. For example, emotivism rests on an inadequate analysis of moral language; and cultural relativism, (...)

    Cognitive and Conative Ethics. [REVIEW]G. M. - 1977 - Review of Metaphysics 31 (1):109-110.
    Professor Allen undertakes two tasks: first, to show that moral discriminations do not originate from a cognitive faculty; and, second, to establish that such discriminations originate from a non-cognitive faculty which determines which desires and emotions are appropriate on particular occasions. Some of his objections to cognitive ethics are that it can neither explain how knowledge can motivate action nor, since it holds that our moral obligations originate from an external source, justify moral toleration. When obligations originate from an external (...)

    In discussing a variety of issues in the philosophy of education, Professor Crittenden focuses his attention on liberal education, i.e., the process of education which is principally concerned with promoting understanding and appreciation of the main forms of knowledge and with developing various skills of inquiry, expression, and performance. He believes that the defense of liberal education as a necessary feature of democracy is unsatisfactory; although citizens must have some knowledge and intellectual competence to make the choices expected of them, (...)

    This volume contains papers in which Hans Kelsen addresses a number of philosophical issues that are crucial to his defense of the pure theory of law. Although it includes some papers appearing in English for the first time, this collection differs little in scope or substance from an earlier one, What is Justice? Kelsen’s legal theory has raised the ire of critics because they believe it separates far too sharply law from ethics. In these papers, especially those written in recent (...)

    The authors, who are lecturers at the University of Kent and conduct a seminar there on dialectical materialism, have two main aims in this book: to clarify the meaning of dialectic in Hegel and Marxism, and to urge consideration of the materialist dialectic as a living philosophy. The treatment, however, is not merely expository but also critical and exploratory. The book is a debate in five essays, two by Sayers and three by Norman, the format thereby allowing each writer to (...)

    Although most contemporary utilitarians believe that their theory can be held only in a modified form, Sartorius contends that the traditional position, act-utilitarianism, is defensible. He explains the traditional position and defends it against the often made objection that it does not require sufficiently strict adherence to socially valuable legal and moral rules. Act-utilitarianism makes every useful act right, but utility sometimes is maximized if rules are adopted which disallow individually useful violations. If all useful acts are right regardless of (...)

    In this first volume of a projected two-volume commentary, Lakebrink takes as his main aim to assist the uninitiated reader toward a maximum understanding of Hegel’s Encyclopedia Logic of 1830. The best way to accomplish this aim, Lakebrink believes, is through a paragraph-by-paragraph explication of text. This is introduced by a general discussion of Hegel and Hegel interpretation, whose main themes are more or less carried over into the subsequent exposition. In view of the difficulty of Hegel’s text and the (...)

    This volume is the first of three dealing with the subjects in the title. Although Professor Hayek has defended liberal constitutionalism in earlier books, he here provides a more elaborate analysis of it and seeks to uncover the basic misconceptions that have eroded its support. The main reason for the decreased support is the belief that institutions serve human purposes only if they have been deliberately designed for those purposes, and that a society which does not serve our purposes should (...)

    Professor Haslett, who claims that he is developing ideas found in the work of C. I. Lewis, presents a method of moral justification and shows which moral principle this method justifies. Since, according to Haslett, it is rational to maximize what one values for its own sake, a moral principle which maximizes such values should be adopted. The principle that does this is a variant of rule utilitarianism labeled "ideal observer utilitarianism." This position differs from the standard versions of rule (...)

    Negativities are limitations or deprivations of life or some other condition highly valued by human beings. Death, suicide, abortion, war, crime, punishment, illness, perversion, inequality, and waste are negativities to which Professor Margolis devotes separate chapters. Although Margolis believes that moral judgments on these negativities must satisfy certain conceptual constraints to be rationally coherent, he denies that any one judgment can be deemed solely correct because conflicting ones, arising from different coherent ideologies, can equally satisfy these constraints. The moral philosopher’s (...)

    Distinguishing between proving and grounding moral judgments is an important first step in Professor Becker’s attempt to refute moral skepticism. He claims that proving judgments, which involves offering sufficient reasons to establish their correctness, is not possible, but that grounding, which requires only a nonarbitrary stopping point to reason giving, is. Judgments based on goals or values acknowledged by all "normally-formed" people are deemed grounded if no reasoned criticism can be made against them. Examples of universal goals and values which (...)

In this book van den Haag offers both a theory of punishment which supports traditional penal policies and factual data which show the failure of recent reforms. van den Haag claims that the main purpose of a legal system is to preserve order but that not every system that does this is acceptable. Along with preserving order, a legal (...)

    Religion and Morality seeks to answer two fundamental questions regarding the relation between religion and morality. The first is the puzzle posed by Socrates, the so-called ' Euthyphro dilemma', which asks: is morality valuable by virtue of its intrinsic importance and worth, or is morality valuable because, and only because, God approves it and commands us to follow its dictates? The second question is raised by Kierkegaard in Fear and Trembling. He asks: Is a conflict between religion and morality possible? (...)

    This book examines some of the main problems involved in defining morality. Smith concedes that he cannot provide a fully satisfactory definition, but he believes that he can provide both a partial delimitation of the concept and a refutation of several related popular definitions. Since morality has a variety of meanings in ordinary usage, Smith offers a stipulative definition based on characteristics that he believes to be conceptually the most central. He states, "My focus will not be wholly arbitrary; I (...)

    The views of three prominent eighteenth-century moral philosophers, Francis Hutcheson, Bishop Butler, and David Hume, are critically examined in this book. Professor Roberts believes that a careful analysis of these empiricist philosophers’ views can serve as a prolegomenon to an adequate understanding of benevolence. The nature of benevolence and its role in motivating moral actions was a crucial issue in eighteenth-century moral philosophy. Some philosophers who preceded Hutcheson denied that only feelings motivated actions; and others, who defended the efficacy of (...)

    Most present-day philosophers know William Paley primarily as a defender of the argument from design and the author of the famous watch analogy. Professor LeMahieu argues that Paley’s philosophical and theological writings deserve more than the scant attention they now receive. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Paley’s books were held in such high esteem that several were required reading by students at Oxford and Cambridge; the Evidences of Christianity was kept on the Cambridge University examination list until 1920.

Assuming that all actions have causal antecedents, he contends that traditional attempts to find a basis for ascribing responsibility to some men but not others is misguided. All men, regardless of the cause of their behavior, should be deemed responsible moral agents; and criteria should be developed for deciding which such agents should be (...)
