Can time have a beginning? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Riddles, paradoxes, conundrums--for millennia the human mind has found such knotty logical problems both perplexing and irresistible. Now Roy Sorensen offers the first narrative history of paradoxes, a fascinating and eye-opening account that extends from the ancient Greeks, through the Middle Ages, the Enlightenment, and into the twentieth century. When Augustine asked what God was doing before He made the world, he was told: "Preparing hell for people who ask questions like that." A Brief History of the Paradox takes a close look at "questions like that" and the philosophers who have asked them, beginning with the folk riddles that inspired Anaximander to erect the first metaphysical system and ending with such thinkers as Lewis Carroll, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and W.V. Quine. Organized chronologically, the book is divided into twenty-four chapters, each of which pairs a philosopher with a major paradox, allowing for extended consideration and putting a human face on the strategies that have been taken toward these puzzles. Readers get to follow the minds of Zeno, Socrates, Aquinas, Ockham, Pascal, Kant, Hegel, and many other major philosophers deep inside the tangles of paradox, looking for, and sometimes finding, a way out. Filled with illuminating anecdotes and vividly written, A Brief History of the Paradox will appeal to anyone who finds trying to answer unanswerable questions a paradoxically pleasant endeavor. 606 $aParadox 606 $aParadoxes 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aParadox. 615 0$aParadoxes. 676 $a165 700 $aSorensen$b Roy A.$0464350 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453422803321 996 $aA brief history of the paradox$91937987 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03238oam 2200589I 450 001 9910787843003321 005 20230807204248.0 010 $a0-429-16845-4 010 $a1-4665-9295-8 024 7 $a10.1201/b17872 035 $a(CKB)2670000000560374 035 $a(EBL)1707785 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001381286 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11786126 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001381286 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11392863 035 $a(PQKB)10837897 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1707785 035 $a(OCoLC)901229333 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000560374 100 $a20180331h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aGeneralized structured component analysis $ea component-based approach to structural equation modeling /$fHeungsun Hwang, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada; Yoshio Takane, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada 210 1$aBoca Raton :$cCRC Press,$d[2015] 210 4$dİ2015 215 $a1 online resource (338 p.) 225 1 $aChapman & Hall/CRC Statistics in the Social & Behavioral Series 225 0 $aChapman & Hall Book 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-322-63825-X 311 $a1-4665-9294-X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aFront Cover; Contents; Preface; Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Generalized Structured Component Analysis; Chapter 3: Basic Extensions of Generalized Structured Component Analysis; Chapter 4: Fuzzy Clusterwise Generalized Structured Component Analysis; Chapter 5: Nonlinear Generalized Structured Component Analysis; Chapter 6: Generalized Structured Component Analysis with Latent Interactions; Chapter 7: Multilevel Generalized Structured Component Analysis; Chapter 8: Regularized Generalized Structured Component Analysis; Chapter 9: Lasso Generalized Structured Component Analysis 327 $aChapter 10: Dynamic Generalized Structured Component AnalysisChapter 11: Functional Generalized Structured Component Analysis; References; Back Cover 330 $aDeveloped by the authors, generalized structured component analysis is an alternative to two longstanding approaches to structural equation modeling: covariance structure analysis and partial least squares path modeling. Generalized structured component analysis allows researchers to evaluate the adequacy of a model as a whole, compare a model to alternative specifications, and conduct complex analyses in a straightforward manner.
