Philosophers Series and to the Quine
literature generally.’ – Alexander Mille r , University of Birmingham, UK

‘We may therefore conclude that imagination is not an empirical power added to consciousness, but it is the whole of consciousness as it realizes freedom.’ – Jean-Paul Sartre
The philosophy of perception investigates the nature of our sensory experiences and their relation to reality and is a growing area of interest in metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of mind.

PHILOSOPHY
2ND EDITION
Edited by Joseph Parry, Brigham Young University, USA
James Robert Brown, University of Toronto, Canada
Philosophy of art is traditionally concerned with the definition, appreciation and value of art. Through a close examination of art from recent centuries, Art and Phenomenology is one of the first books to explore visual art as a mode of experiencing the world itself, showing how in the words of Merleau-Ponty ‘Painting does not imitate the world, but is a world of its own’.
We’ve all heard of Newton’s bucket, Einstein’s elevator, and Schrödinger’s cat – these are some of the best known examples of thought experiments in the natural sciences. But what function do these experiments perform? Are they really experiments at all? Can they help us gain a greater understanding of the natural world, or are they merely illustrations of one or another argument about the way things work?
An outstanding series of chapters by
an international group of contributors examine the following questions:
In this revised and updated new edition
of his classic text, The Laboratory of the
Mind, James Robert Brown continues to
• Paul Klee and the body in art defend apriorism in the physical world, including a new chapter on
the role of intuition in thought experiments, and new material on thought experiments in mathematics. With plenty of illustrations, and updated coverage of the debate between rational platonism and classic empiricism, this is a lively and edifying contribution to the field of philosophy of science.

An Appeal to Reason
Peg Tittle
Philosophy of Love, Sex, and Marriage
An Introduction
Thinking critically about the arguments and
Raja Halwani, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, USA
messages we see every day – in words or in pictures – gives us the power to make up our own minds. Thinking critically about the way we express ourselves – in writing or in person – gives us the power to persuade.
How is love different from lust or infatuation? Do love and marriage really go together like a horse and carriage? And does sex have any necessary connection to either? In this lively and comprehensive textbook, Raja Halwani explores the philosophical questions inherent in these three important aspects of human relationships, interrogating the nature, uses and ethics of romantic love, sexuality, and marriage.
In Critical Thinking Peg Tittle empowers
students with a solid grounding in the lifelong skills of argumentation, evaluation, and considered analysis that should underpin every student’s education.
Starting with the building blocks of a good argument, rather than by introducing the pitfalls to avoid, this comprehensive new textbook offers a full course in critical thinking, complete with material on visual reasoning, practice questions from standardized reasoning tests, and thirty extended arguments from academic philosophy, journalism, and the blogosphere for students to grapple with.
