In this book D. W. Mertz applies the rules and systems of mathematics and logic to instance ontology, or particularism-the doctrine that asserts the individuality of properties and relations. He surveys the history of instance ontology in writings from ancient times to the present, offers a lucid argument for its validity and extraordinary problem-solving capacities, and associates it with a version of the realist position he calls "moderate realism."

The late Elliot Richardson, Washington’s ultimate insider, examines the growing hostility of American citizens toward government and explores what it means to be a responsible American today. Written by one of America’s most distinguished public servants, Reflections of a Radical Moderate offers a clear-eyed and steady analysis of the state of our democracy and the growth of cynicism among American citizens toward their government. In a series of inspiring and pellucid essays, Elliot Richardson, a stalwart of the liberal wing of the Republican party, explains how American democr

Forthright and wryly humorous, philosopher Susan Haack deploys her penetrating analytic skills on some of the most highly charged cultural and social debates of recent years. Relativism, multiculturalism, feminism, affirmative action, pragmatisms old and new, science, literature, the future of the academy and of philosophy itself—all come under her keen scrutiny in Manifesto of a Passionate Moderate."The virtue of Haack’s book, and I mean virtue in the ethical sense, is that it embodies the attitude that it exalts. . . Haack’s voice is urbane, sensible, passionate—the voice of

Our thought and talk are situated. They do not take place in a vacuum but always in a context, and they always concern an external situation relative to which they are to be evaluated. Since that is so, François Recanati argues, our linguistic and mental representations alike must be assigned two layers of content: the explicit content, or lekton, is relative and perspectival, while the complete content, which is absolute, involves contextual factors in addition to what is explicitly represented. Far from reducing to the context-independent meaning of the sentence-type or, in the psychologica

This book deals with the fundamentals of wave optics, polarization, interference, diffraction, imaging, and the origin, properties, and optical effects of turbulence in the Earth’s atmosphere. Techniques developed during the last few decades to overcome atmospheric image degradation (including passive methods, speckle interferometry in particular, and active methods such as adaptive optics), are highlighted. Also discussed are high resolution sensors, image processing, and the astronomical results obtained with these techniques.
