商品描述

This volume features forty-two essays written in honor of Joseph Agassi. It explores the work and legacy of this influential philosopher, an exciting and challenging advocate of critical rationalism. Throughout six decades of stupendous intellectual activity, Agassi called attention to rationality as the very starting point of every notable philosophical way of life.
The essays present Agassi's own views on critical rationalism. They also develop and expand upon his work in new and provocative ways. The authors include Agassi's most notable pupils, friends, and colleagues. Overall, their contributions challenge the received view on a variety of issues concerning science, religion, and education.
Readers will find well-reasoned arguments on such topics as the secular problem of evil, religion and critical thinking, liberal democratic educational communities, democracy and constitutionalism, and capitalism at a crossroad.To Joseph Agassi, philosophy is the practice of reason, where reason is understood as the relentless search for criticisms of the best available explanations that we have to the world around us. This book not only honors one of the most original philosophers of science today. It also offers readers insights into a school of thought that lies at the heart of philosophy.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本卷包含四十二篇為紀念約瑟夫·阿卡西（Joseph Agassi）而撰寫的文章。這些文章探討了這位影響深遠的哲學家的工作與遺產，他是一位令人興奮且具挑戰性的批判理性主義倡導者。在六十年的卓越智識活動中，阿卡西強調理性是每一種顯著哲學生活方式的起點。

這些文章呈現了阿卡西對批判理性主義的看法，並以新穎且具挑戰性的方式發展和擴展他的工作。作者包括阿卡西最著名的學生、朋友和同事。總體而言，他們的貢獻挑戰了對科學、宗教和教育等多種議題的既有觀點。

讀者將會發現針對世俗的惡問題、宗教與批判思維、自由民主教育社群、民主與憲政，以及資本主義的十字路口等主題的合理論證。對於約瑟夫·阿卡西而言，哲學是理性的實踐，而理性被理解為對我們周遭世界最佳解釋的批評不斷追尋。這本書不僅是對當今最具原創性的科學哲學家之一的致敬，也為讀者提供了對於哲學核心思想流派的深入見解。
