English | November 9, 2000 | ISBN: 015601159X | 480 pages | PDF | 6.07 Mb
How do we know a cat is a cat? And why do we call it a cat? How much of our perception of things is based on cognitive ability, and how much on linguistic resources? Here, in six remarkable essays, Umberto Eco explores in depth questions of reality, perception, and experience. Basing his ideas on common sense, Eco shares a vast wealth of literary and historical knowledge, touching on issues that affect us every day. At once philosophical and amusing, Kant and the Platypus is a tour of the world of our senses, told by a master of knowing what is real and what is not.

What is the relation between thinking and the I that thinks? And what is the relation between thought and reality?

Free Download Stefano Bacin, "The Emergence of Autonomy in Kant’s Moral Philosophy"
English | ISBN: 1316633764 | 2018 | 240 pages | PDF | 1354 KB
Autonomy is one of the central concepts of contemporary moral thought, and Kant is often credited with being the inventor of individual moral autonomy. But how and why did Kant develop this notion? The Emergence of Autonomy in Kant’s Moral Philosophy is the first essay collection exclusively devoted to this topic. It traces the emergence of autonomy from Kant’s earliest writings to the changes that he made to the concept in his mature works. The essays offer a close historical and philosophical analysis of what prompted Kant to develop his conception of autonomy, charting the historical background which prompted his search, and thoroughly analysing different stages of his writings in order to see which element of autonomy was introduced at which point. The resulting volume will be of interest to both scholars and students of Kantian moral philosophy, as well as to anyone interested in the subject of autonomy.
