This anthology brings together thousands of years of philosophical endeavour and brilliant prose. 330 $bPhilosophy is a dangerous profession, risking censorship, prison, even death. And no wonder: philosophers have questioned traditional pieties and threatened the established political order. Some claimed to know what was thought unknowable; others doubted what was believed to be certain. Some attacked religion in the name of science; others attacked science in the name of mystical poetry; some served tyrants; others were radical revolutionaries. This historically based collection of philosophers' reflections--the letters, journals, prefaces that reveal their hopes and hesitations, their triumphs and struggles, their deepest doubts and convictions--allow us to witness philosophical thought-in-process. It sheds light on the many--and conflicting--aims of philosophy: to express skepticism or overcome it, to support theology or attack it, to develop an ethical system or reduce it to practical politics. As their audiences differed, philosophers experimented with distinctive rhetorical strategies, writing dialogues, meditations, treatises, aphorisms. Ranging from Plato to Hannah Arendt, with contributions from 44 philosophers (Augustine, Maimonides, AlGhazali, Descartes, Pascal, Leibniz, Voltaire, Rousseau, Hobbes, Hume, Kant, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Wittgenstein, among others) this remarkable collection documents philosophers' claim that they change as well as understand the world. In her introductory essay, "Witnessing Philosophers," Amelie Rorty locates philosophers' reflections in the larger context of the many facets of their other activities and commitments. 606 $aPhilosophy$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhilosophy$xHistory. 676 $a109.2 702 $aRorty$b Ame?lie 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451573103321 996 $aThe many faces of philosophy$92447790 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01463nam0 22003373i 450 001 UBO3657983 005 20251003044424.0 010 $a9789812563880 010 $a9812563881$bhbk 100 $a20111122d2006 ||||0itac50 ba 101 | $aeng 102 $aus 181 1$6z01$ai $bxxxe 182 1$6z01$an 200 1 $aReliability modeling, analysis and optimization$f[edited by] Hoang Pham 210 $aHackensack (N.J.)$cWorld Scientific$dc2006 215 $aXXVIII, 487 p.$d24 cm 225 | $aSeries on quality reliability and engineering statistics$v9 410 0$1001RMS1588922$12001 $aSeries on quality reliability and engineering statistics$v9 606 $aAFFIDABILITA $xMODELLI MATEMATICI$2FIR$3MILC136172$9I 676 $a620$9INGEGNERIA E ATTIVITA' AFFINI$v14 676 $a620.00452015118$9INGEGNERIA E ATTIVITA' AFFINI.
