Hardcover. Condition: Good. [PHILOSOPHY]. Robert Sherrick Brumbaugh. "Unreality and Time (SUNY Series in Philosophy)." Albany, NY: State University of New York Press, 1984. English language. Hardcover with blue boards. 164 pp. Former library copy with ex-libris stamp, stickers, and marks on boards and interior. Text clean. Good. ISBN: 0873956133. "This book recognizes and questions a key assumption about time which is shared by common sense and philosophy: the assumption that time, like a single substance or a homogeneous quality, is subject to the law of contradiction. This leads to the logical conclusion that among different and mutually exclusive accounts of time, whether in science, practical action, or fine art, only one can be the 'right' one. Four such accounts are shown here to be internally consistent though mutually incompatible, suggesting that the initial assumption is mistaken, and that in some way each alternative concept of time must be incomplete. Brumbaugh suggests that we must choose the one appropriate to a particular artistic creation, technological efficiency, discovery of mathematical laws of nature, or work with biological and social phenomena. The selection should allow coherence between that aspect of reality which the selected time concept emphasizes, and the aspect of reality most relevant to a successful execution of our purpose.".

Condition: Gut. XVI, 156 Seiten / p. leicht bestoßen, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / slightly bumped, otherwise perfect condition - Proliferation of philosophic systems beyond the powers of most persons to find harmonies between them, let alone beyond some principle for unifying them, and even beyond hope of making more than a hasty, prejudiced choice of philosophy, is nothing new. The ablest thinkers, however, have found ways to make good use of this congeries. Both Plato and Aristotle, however differently, expanded and refined their own philosophies in order to make sound judgments on the opinions of markedly diverse forerunners, then to assimilate such uneven contributions into their own systems. Modern studies are well agreed that this diversity was as characteristic of the Dark and Middle Ages as it was of the classical period; and many were the encyclopedias and gammas seeking in one way or another to collect the scattered truths of their predecessors, placing them in new orders and modifying them appropriately in those imposing summaries of knowledge and wisdom. More recent efforts to bring about this harmony have foresworn any actual assembling of a new system built upon the foundation - or the rubble, as you prefer - of the old, separating an overview of philosophy from the composing of a system with its own battalions of details. Volumes on this prospective overview tend nowadays to be short books devoted to definitions of philosophy, classifications of its parts and its types, and, less often, resolutions of its partisan-in spired conflicts. The author of the present work uses this shorter format and brings a host of insights to the task of relating the philosophies that history has furnished.
