A Philosophical Guide to Conditionals
Author: Jonathan Bennett
Publisher: Clarendon Press
ISBN: 019153174X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Conditional sentences are among the most intriguing and puzzling features of language: analysis of their meaning and function has important implications for, and uses in, many areas of philosophy. Jonathan Bennett, one of the world's leading experts, distils many years' work and teaching into this Philosophical Guide to Conditionals, the fullest and most authoritative treatment of the subject. The literature on conditionals is difficult - needlessly so. Bennett's treatment is meticulously careful and luminously clear. He presents and evaluates in detail various approaches to the understanding of 'indicative' conditionals (like 'If Shakespeare didn't write Hamlet, some aristocrat did') and 'subjunctive' conditionals (like 'If rabbits had not been deliberately introduced into New Zealand, there would be none there today'); and he offers his own view, which will be recognized as a major original contribution to the subject. Journeying through this intellectual territory brings one into contact with the metaphysics of possible worlds, probability and belief-change, probability and logic, the pragmatics of conversation, determinism, ambiguity, vagueness, the law of excluded middle, facts versus events, and more. One might perhaps learn more philosophy from a thorough study of conditionals than from any other kind of work. Bennett's Guide is an ideal introduction for undergraduates with a philosophical grounding, and will also be a rich source of illumination and stimulation for graduate students and professional philosophers.

I Can't Recall
Author: Suzi O'Connor
Publisher: Chipmunkapublishing ltd
ISBN: 1849912521
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
DescriptionI Can't Recall is a sister's narrative of her brother's struggle with vascular dementia, diagnosed at age fifty-four. The book delves into family relationships, especially between a brother and sister. Younger individuals akin to Thom, those needing twenty-four hour nursing care, have few options. For Thom, a nursing home was chosen, and the hardships in making that type of decision are illustrated. In Part Two of the book, you will encounter Thom's journal, which was written during the first two years of his life at the nursing home. These journal entries are an amazing representation of dementia from the actual viewpoint of a person suffering from this incurable disease. The book illustrates the many twists and turns of managing a situation such as Thom's; reveals hope and fear; tells of sadness and happiness; imparts a bit of humor; and paints a picture of unconditional love. About the AuthorSuzi O'Connor worked twenty-five years in the legal field, the last seventeen years of which she worked as a Case Analyst for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, Staff Counsel's office. She has been married to her high school sweetheart Ed, for thirty-seven years, and has a daughter Kimm and a son Michael. She received her bachelor's degree from Regis University in 2005, at the "young" age of 52, and, at 57, is happily retired.

Epistemic Modalities and Evidentiality in Cross-Linguistic Perspective
Author: Zlatka Guentchéva
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110572265
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
This volume explores phenomena which come under the heading of epistemic modalities and evidentiality in more or less well-known languages (Germanic, Romance, Balto-Slavic, Hungarian, Tibetan, Lakandon and Yucatec Maya, Arwak-Chibchan Kogi and Ika). It reveals cross-linguistic variations in the structuring of these vast fields of enquiry and clearly demonstrates the relevance and interplay of multiple factors involved in the analysis of these two conceptual domains. Although the contributions present diverging descriptive traditions, they are nonetheless within the broad domain of functional-typological linguistics and give access to distinct yet comparable approaches. They all converge around a number of key issues: modal verbs; the relationship between epistemic modality and evidentiality; the relationship of modal notions with some tense and aspect notions; the notions of (inter)subjectivity, commitment and (dis)engagement; the prosodic variation of modal adverbs, the diachronic connections between negation and evidential markers, the connection with mirativity. The volume is of interest to linguists and advanced graduate students working in general and theoretical linguistics, semantics, pragmatics, cognition, and typology.
