Contact with Reality by Esther Lightcap Meek Pdf

Is knowledge discovered, or just invented? Can we ever get outside ourselves to know how reality is in itself, independent of us? Philosophical realism raises the question whether in our knowing we connect with an independent reality--or only connect with our own mental constructs. Far from being a silly parlor game, the question impacts our lives concretely and deeply. Modern Western culture has been infected with antirealism and the doubt, skepticism, subjectivism, relativism, and atheism that attends it--not to mention distrust and arbitrary (mis)use of reality. Premier scientist-turned-philosopher Michael Polanyi stepped aside from research to offer an innovative account of knowing that takes its cue from how discovery actually happens. Polanyi defied the antirealism of the twentieth century, sounding a ringing note of hope in his repeated claim that in discovery, we know we have made contact with reality because "we have a sense of the possibility of indeterminate future manifestations." And that sense marks contact with reality, because it is the way reality is: abundant, generous, and fraught with as-yet-unnameable possibilities. This book examines that distinctive claim, contrasting it to the wider philosophical discussions regarding realism and antirealism in the recent decades. It shows why Polanyi's outlook is superior, and why that matters, not just to scientific discoverers, but to us all.

Story as a Way of Knowing will open your mind and imagination to new ways of thinking and knowing about yourself, others, your world, and your God.

Knowing Reality by Bobbie Pdf

What is reality? Was it founded in science or experimentation? How does religion figure into our findings? The author writes... "I have more faith in science than religion, but I am not prepared to accept much of what science teaches, either; and the next part of this treatise explains why." How can we come to an understanding of our surroundings without accepting a premise of science, religion or experimentation. This writing is the authors look into how we observe and describe our surroundings. A single dimension, two or three. Time and temperature. The space of emptiness or the space filled with waves and particles. There are many considerations which we have accepted through teachings. Then there are those of us that must first do it wrong a few times before we accept the teachings or maybe find a new path and discover the teachings may vary. Which is the reality? Is it science, religion or experimentation? Read on and discover what this author believes. It may change your outlook on reality."Because of knowledge. Because of a new intellectual awakening of the human species. Because of our determination to know reality. The result of knowing reality is worth the effort that it takes to know it."

The Quantum of Explanation by Randall E. Auxier,Gary L. Herstein Pdf

The Quantum of Explanation advances a bold new theory of how explanation ought to be understood in philosophical and cosmological inquiries. Using a complete interpretation of Alfred North Whitehead’s philosophical and mathematical writings and an interpretive structure that is essentially new, Auxier and Herstein argue that Whitehead has never been properly understood, nor has the depth and breadth of his contribution to the human search for knowledge been assimilated by his successors. This important book effectively applies Whitehead’s philosophy to problems in the interpretation of science, empirical knowledge, and nature. It develops a new account of philosophical naturalism that will contribute to the current naturalism debate in both Analytic and Continental philosophy. Auxier and Herstein also draw attention to some of the most important differences between the process theology tradition and Whitehead’s thought, arguing in favor of a Whiteheadian naturalism that is more or less independent of theological concerns. This book offers a clear and comprehensive introduction to Whitehead’s philosophy and is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in American philosophy, the philosophy of mathematics and physics, and issues associated with naturalism, explanation and radical empiricism.
