Im Fokus dieser philosophischen Studie steht der kantische Substanzbegriff. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass ein adäquates Verständnis des Begriffs und der daraus resultierenden kritischen Metaphysik der Substanz es erfordert, die philosophische Kontroverse hinsichtlich der einfachen Substanz in der ersten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts zu berücksichtigen, wie diese von Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz und Christian Wolff bestimmt worden ist. Erst vor diesem Hintergrund wird die Komplexität und Widersprüchlichkeit des kritischen Substanzbegriffs deutlich.

mir selbst nach Kräften treu zu bleiben.
im Glauben zu leben, dass die ganze Welt auf meiner Seite steht,

meine Freude wissen zu lassen, dass sie wertvolle Menschen sind,
bei allem auf die Sonnenseite zu sehen und Optimismus zu verbreiten,
nur das Beste zu erwarten,
mich über die Erfolge anderer genauso zu freuen wie über meine eigenen,
die Fehler der Vergangenheit zu vergessen und in der Zukunft noch Besseres zu erreichen,
immer intestine gelaunt zu sein und jedem ein Lächeln zu schenken.

hence the carpet is less than the desk. The vase is within the field; as a result the field isn't within the vase. But
what does it suggest for an item to be someplace? How are items tied to the distance they occupy? In

philosophy of spatial illustration. Their start line is an research of the interaction between
mereology (the examine of part/whole relations), topology (the research of spatial continuity and
compactness), and the speculation of spatial place right. This results in a unified framework for

parts necessary to their wholes? Is spatial co-location a adequate criterion of id? What (if
anything) distinguishes fabric items from occasions and different spatial entities? The concluding
chapters take care of purposes to themes as varied because the logical research of flow and the
semantics of maps.

George Berkeley notoriously claimed that his immaterialist metaphysics was once not just in step with logic yet that it was once additionally critical to its protection. Roberts argues that knowing the elemental connection among Berkeley's philosophy and customary experience calls for that we increase a greater realizing of the 4 precept elements of Berkeley's optimistic metaphysics: the character of being, the divine language thesis, the active/passive contrast, and the character of spirits.

Roberts starts off via concentrating on Berkeley's view of the character of being. He elucidates Berkeley's view on Locke and the Cartesians and by means of analyzing Berkeley's perspectives approximately comparable innovations similar to unity and simplicity. From there he strikes directly to Berkeley's philosophy of language arguing that scrutiny of the recognized "Introduction" to the Principles of Human Knowledge finds that Berkeley pointed out the ideational concept of which means and knowing because the root reason for a few of the worst of man's highbrow blunders, now not "abstract ideas." summary principles are, really, the main debilitating symptom of this underlying sickness. as opposed to the ideational thought, Berkeley defends a rudimentary "use conception" of which means. This figuring out of Berkeley's method of semantics is then utilized to the divine language thesis and is proven to have vital outcomes for Berkeley's pragmatic method of the ontology of common gadgets and for his method of our wisdom of, and relation to different minds, together with God's. Turning subsequent to Berkeley's a lot aligned account of spirits, the writer defends the coherence of Berkeley's view of spirits in terms of offering an interpretation of the active/passive contrast as marking a normative contrast and by means of concentrating on the position that divine language performs in letting Berkeley determine the soul with the desire. With those 4 ideas of Berkeley's philosophy in hand, he then returns to the subject of good judgment and gives a safety of Berkeley's philosophy as outfitted upon and expressive of the inner most metaphysical commitments of mainstream Christianity.

Roberts' reappraisal of this crucial determine may still entice all historians of philosophy in addition to students in metaphysics and philosophy of language.
