The resulting monograph elaborates several important topics from one or more perspectives, by distinguishing various kinds of research programs, and various ways of explaining and reducing laws and concepts, and by summarizing an integrated explication (presented in From Instrumentalism to Constructive Realism, ICR) of the notions of confirmation, empirical progress and truth approximation.","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106233237556,"sku":"9780792371175","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/8638\/5972\/files\/imageloader_ee2a6227-3887-4901-862d-0f5f67c0d035.jpg?v=1758229268"},{"product_id":"scientific-integrity-4e","title":"Scientific Integrity 4e","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis widely adopted textbook provides the essential content and skill-building tools for teaching the responsible conduct of scientific research. \u003ci\u003eScientific Integrity\u003c\/i\u003e covers the breadth of concerns faced by scientists: protection of animal and human experimental subjects, scientific publication, intellectual property, conflict of interest, collaboration, record keeping, mentoring, and the social and ethical responsibilities of scientists.

The author's aim is to present to students and readers -- to such, especially, as are unfamiliar with the Latin language -- a brief yet clear outline of the system of Ethics taught in Catholic Colleges, Seminaries and Universities. This system is based on the philosophy of Aristotle. Questions of Ethics, which in former times were left to the close scientific treatment of specialists, are at the present day freely discussed among all classes of society -- in newspapers and popular magazines, in the workshop and in the parlor. Extravagant notions of individual and social rights are circulated, while the rash speculations of so-called scientists are sapping in many minds the very foundations of morality. Never before has there been a more urgent call on the part of the people for the lucid exposition and the correct application of sound moral principles. In this sad confusion of thought, no small utility will be found in a clear, simple, systematic explanation of the ethical doctrines taught by the greatest minds of the past ages, and lately most highly recommended by our Supreme Pontiff, the illustrious Leo. XIII. Such an exposition the author has endeavored to present in this little volume. THE AUTHOR. CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY, OMAHA, NEB. March 12, 1895 Introduction 1. Moral Philosophy is the science of the moral order, or of the right and wrong of human acts. It is called Ethics from the Greek word êthê which, like the Latin word mores, signifies morals. Since its object is not merely speculative knowledge, but the true direction of human acts, Ethics is also styled Practical Philosophy. 2. Ethics, we say, directs human acts. However, not all the acts of a man are called human acts, but only such as are under the control of his free will. Whatever he does necessarily -- i. e., whatever he cannot help doing -- results from the physical laws of nature, and, as such, is willed and directed by the Author of nature. For instance, a man may fall like a stone, or grow like a plant, or perceive a sound like a brute animal, without any power on his part to prevent himself from falling or growing or hearing, if the required conditions are present. These are acts of the man, but they are not acts of what is distinctively human -- namely, his intellect and his will. The term human act is restricted in philosophy to those acts which a man does knowingly and willingly -- which he has the power either to do or not to do. 3. To be qualified for the direction of human acts, Philosophy must derive its conclusions by reasoning from first principles; it must take into account the nature of man, and The natures of all the causes that influence human action. Much of this we have considered in Metaphysics, or Mental Philosophy. Ethics is thus founded on Metaphysics: Moral Philosophy assumes as its principles the conclusions established in Mental Philosophy.","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106525790260,"sku":"9781979466592","price":20.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/8638\/5972\/files\/imageloader_23b5da79-059b-48c0-97ca-05c3b64cfe9b.jpg?v=1758233573"},{"product_id":"variational-principles-in-physics-2007","title":"Variational Principles in Physics (2007)","description":"\u003cp\u003eVariational principles have proven to be surprisingly fertile.

Given this background and interest, this monograph has evaluated NOS in university level general chemistry textbooks published in U.S.A. Most textbooks in this study provided little insight with respect to the nine criteria used for evaluating NOS. Some of the textbooks, however, inevitably refer to HPS and thus provide guidelines for future textbooks. A few of the textbooks go into considerable detail to present the atomic models of Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr and wave mechanical to illustrate the tentative nature of scientific theories --- an important NOS aspect. These results lead to the question: Are we teaching science as practiced by scientists? An answer to this question can help us to understand the importance of NOS, by providing students an HPS-based environment, so that they too (just like the scientists) feel the thrill and excitement of discovering new things.

Contemporary cultural anthropology may likewise help us understand the way today's events and cultural habits shape what we call history tomorrow.

Learning about ethics yesterday and thinking about ethics as it expresses itself in various cultures today can help us shape the ethics of tomorrow: This is true whether we are speaking of that part of social ethics called \"medical\" or of any other part of social ethics.

World-renowned Zen master, spiritual leader, and author Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to make positive use of the very situations that usually pressure and antagonize us. For him a ringing telephone can be a signal to call us back to our true selves. Dirty dishes, red lights, and traffic jams are spiritual friends on the path to \"mindfulness\" -- the process of keeping our consciousness alive to our present experience and reality. The most profound satisfactions, the deepest feelings of joy and completeness lie as close at hand as our next aware breath and the smile we can form right now.\u003cp\u003e Lucidly and beautifully written, \"Peace Is Every Step\" contains commentaries and meditations, personal anecdotes and stories from Nhat Hanh's experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader. It begins where the reader already is -- in the kitchen, office, driving a car, walking a part -- and shows how deep meditative presence is available now. Nhat Hanh provides exercises to increase our awareness of our own body and mind through conscious breathing, which can bring immediate joy and peace. Nhat Hanh also shows how to be aware of relationships with others and of the world around us, its beauty and also its pollution and injustices. the deceptively simple practices of \"Peace Is Every Step\" encourage the reader to work for peace in the world as he or she continues to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the \"mindless\" into the mindFUL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"This book of illuminating reminders bid us to reorient the way we look at the world...toward a humanitarian perspective.\" -- \"Publisher Weekly\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bantam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107744890932,"sku":"9780553351392","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/8638\/5972\/files\/imageloader_b9a296f7-1686-49ac-b8d4-bd60c4206475.jpg?v=1758279910"},{"product_id":"japanese-death-poems-written-by-zen-monks-and-haiku-poets-on-the-verge-of-death","title":"Japanese Death Poems: Written by Zen Monks and Haiku Poets on the Verge of Death","description":"\u003cb\u003e\"A wonderful introduction the Japanese tradition of \u003ci\u003ejisei\u003c\/i\u003e, this volume is crammed with exquisite, spontaneous verse and pithy, often hilarious, descriptions of the eccentric and committed monastics who wrote the poems.\" --\u003ci\u003eTricycle: The Buddhist Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough the consciousness of death is, in most cultures, very much a part of life, this is perhaps nowhere more true than in Japan, where the approach of death has given rise to a centuries-old tradition of writing \u003ci\u003ejisei\u003c\/i\u003e, or the \"death poem.\" Such a poem is often written in the very last moments of the poet's life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHundreds of Japanese death poems, many with a commentary describing the circumstances of the poet's death, have been translated into English here, the vast majority of them for the first time.
