Ethnic Politics and State Power in Africa The Logic of the Coup-Civil War Trap【電子書籍】[ Philip Roessler ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Why are some African countries trapped in vicious cycles of ethnic exclusion and civil war, while others experience relative peace? In this groundbreaking book, Philip Roessler addresses this question. Roessler models Africa's weak, ethnically-divided states as confronting rulers with a coup-civil war trap - sharing power with ethnic rivals is necessary to underwrite societal peace and prevent civil war, but increases rivals' capabilities to seize sovereign power in a coup d'?tat. How rulers respond to this strategic trade-off is shown to be a function of their country's ethnic geography and the distribution of threat capabilities it produces. Moving between in-depth case studies of Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo based on years of field work and statistical analyses of powersharing, coups and civil war across sub-Saharan Africa, the book serves as an exemplar of the benefits of mixed methods research for theory-building and testing in comparative politics.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,537円

Probability Theory The Logic of Science【電子書籍】[ E. T. Jaynes ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The standard rules of probability can be interpreted as uniquely valid principles in logic. In this book, E. T. Jaynes dispels the imaginary distinction between 'probability theory' and 'statistical inference', leaving a logical unity and simplicity, which provides greater technical power and flexibility in applications. This book goes beyond the conventional mathematics of probability theory, viewing the subject in a wider context. New results are discussed, along with applications of probability theory to a wide variety of problems in physics, mathematics, economics, chemistry and biology. It contains many exercises and problems, and is suitable for use as a textbook on graduate level courses involving data analysis. The material is aimed at readers who are already familiar with applied mathematics at an advanced undergraduate level or higher. The book will be of interest to scientists working in any area where inference from incomplete information is necessary.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 18,236円

Why Civil Resistance Works The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict【電子書籍】[ Erica Chenoweth ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>For more than a century, from 1900 to 2006, campaigns of nonviolent resistance were more than twice as effective as their violent counterparts in achieving their stated goals. By attracting impressive support from citizens, whose activism takes the form of protests, boycotts, civil disobedience, and other forms of nonviolent noncooperation, these efforts help separate regimes from their main sources of power and produce remarkable results, even in Iran, Burma, the Philippines, and the Palestinian Territories.</p> <p>Combining statistical analysis with case studies of specific countries and territories, Erica Chenoweth and Maria J. Stephan detail the factors enabling such campaigns to succeed and, sometimes, causing them to fail. They find that nonviolent resistance presents fewer obstacles to moral and physical involvement and commitment, and that higher levels of participation contribute to enhanced resilience, greater opportunities for tactical innovation and civic disruption (and therefore less incentive for a regime to maintain its status quo), and shifts in loyalty among opponents' erstwhile supporters, including members of the military establishment.</p> <p>Chenoweth and Stephan conclude that successful nonviolent resistance ushers in more durable and internally peaceful democracies, which are less likely to regress into civil war. Presenting a rich, evidentiary argument, they originally and systematically compare violent and nonviolent outcomes in different historical periods and geographical contexts, debunking the myth that violence occurs because of structural and environmental factors and that it is necessary to achieve certain political goals. Instead, the authors discover, violent insurgency is rarely justifiable on strategic grounds.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,874円

Computability and Logic【電子書籍】[ George S. Boolos ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Computability and Logic has become a classic because of its accessibility to students without a mathematical background and because it covers not simply the staple topics of an intermediate logic course, such as Godel's incompleteness theorems, but also a large number of optional topics, from Turing's theory of computability to Ramsey's theorem. This 2007 fifth edition has been thoroughly revised by John Burgess. Including a selection of exercises, adjusted for this edition, at the end of each chapter, it offers a simpler treatment of the representability of recursive functions, a traditional stumbling block for students on the way to the Godel incompleteness theorems. This updated edition is also accompanied by a website as well as an instructor's manual.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,401円

The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Mathematics and Logic【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Mathematics and logic have been central topics of concern since the dawn of philosophy. Since logic is the study of correct reasoning, it is a fundamental branch of epistemology and a priority in any philosophical system. Philosophers have focused on mathematics as a case study for general philosophical issues and for its role in overall knowledge- gathering. Today, philosophy of mathematics and logic remain central disciplines in contemporary philosophy, as evidenced by the regular appearance of articles on these topics in the best mainstream philosophical journals; in fact, the last decade has seen an explosion of scholarly work in these areas. This volume covers these disciplines in a comprehensive and accessible manner, giving the reader an overview of the major problems, positions, and battle lines. The 26 contributed chapters are by established experts in the field, and their articles contain both exposition and criticism as well as substantial development of their own positions. The essays, which are substantially self-contained, serve both to introduce the reader to the subject and to engage in it at its frontiers. Certain major positions are represented by two chapters--one supportive and one critical. <em>The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Math and Logic</em> is a ground-breaking reference like no other in its field. It is a central resource to those wishing to learn about the philosophy of mathematics and the philosophy of logic, or some aspect thereof, and to those who actively engage in the discipline, from advanced undergraduates to professional philosophers, mathematicians, and historians.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 14,208円

The History of Philosophical and Formal Logic From Aristotle to Tarski【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>The History of Philosophical and Formal Logic</em> introduces ideas and thinkers central to the development of philosophical and formal logic. From its Aristotelian origins to the present-day arguments, logic is broken down into four main time periods:</p> <p>Antiquity and the Middle Ages (Aristotle and The Stoics)<br /> The early modern period (Bolzano, Boole)<br /> High modern period (Frege, Peano & Russell and Hilbert)<br /> Early 20th century (Godel and Tarski)</p> <p>Each new time frame begins with an introductory overview highlighting themes and points of importance. Chapters discuss the significance and reception of influential works and look at historical arguments in the context of contemporary debates. To support independent study, comprehensive lists of primary and secondary reading are included at the end of chapters, along with exercises and discussion questions.</p> <p>By clearly presenting and explaining the changes to logic across the history of philosophy, <em>The History of Philosophical and Formal Logic</em> constructs an easy-to-follow narrative.

Categories (Κατηγορ?αι) Exploring Reality through Aristotle's Categories: A Systematic Analysis of Ontology and Logic【電子書籍】[ Aristotle ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Categories (???±????????????±?π)", Aristotle intricately categorizes different types of entities in the world, establishing a foundational framework for both philosophy and logic. The work examines how language and the concepts we use to denote objects can shape our understanding of reality itself, presenting a nuanced view of substance, quality, quantity, and relation. Through a meticulous and systematic approach, Aristotle employs a clear and concise literary style, providing insights that have influenced ontological and epistemological discussions throughout Western philosophy. This text serves as a cornerstone in the Aristotelian corpus, laying the groundwork for subsequent metaphysical inquiries. Aristotle, a prominent figure of the classical philosophical tradition, was a student of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great. His wide-ranging interests in natural science, ethics, politics, and metaphysics are reflected in his works. "Categories" emerges from his endeavor to systematize human thought, exploring how classification enhances our comprehension of the world. Influenced by Socratic dialogues and his empirical observations, Aristotle's keen insights into language and classification are central to his philosophy. I highly recommend "Categories" to anyone interested in the evolution of philosophical thought or the foundations of logic. It not only enriches one'??s understanding of Aristotle's influence but also affirms the importance of categorization in shaping our perceptions. Engaging with this text is essential for students and scholars aiming to grasp the complexities of philosophical inquiry.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 310円

Organon ー Prior Analytics Unraveling the Threads of Logical Reasoning: Aristotle's Insights in Deductive Logic and Syllogistic Philosophy【電子書籍】[ Aristotle ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Aristotle's "Organon '?? Prior Analytics" stands as a seminal work in the realm of logic, laying the foundational principles for deductive reasoning. This treatise introduces the syllogistic method, meticulously exploring the structure of arguments through a series of formal rules. Written in a clear and concise style, Aristotle employs precise terminology to dissect propositions and conclusions, allowing readers to grasp the essence of logical inference within a broader philosophical framework. The text not only reflects Aristotle's analytical prowess but also situates itself in the context of ancient Greek philosophical discourse, influencing subsequent thinkers across various disciplines. Aristotle, the great philosopher of the fourth century BCE, is often lauded as the father of both logic and empirical science. His diverse interests ranged from metaphysics to ethics, undoubtedly shaping his inquiry into the principles of sound reasoning found in "Prior Analytics". Living in a time of burgeoning intellectual exploration, Aristotle sought to classify knowledge and enhance clarity in philosophical debates, which inspired him to formalize logic as a discipline. This scholarly text is essential for anyone interested in philosophy, logic, or the history of thought. It is a profound exploration of the mechanics of reasoning that remains relevant today. Readers will find their understanding of argumentation enriched, making it a crucial addition to the library of both students and seasoned scholars alike.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 310円

Selected Mathematical Works: Symbolic Logic + The Game of Logic + Feeding the Mind: by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, alias Lewis Carroll【電子書籍】[ Lewis Carroll ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This carefully crafted ebook: "Selected Mathematical Works: Symbolic Logic + The Game of Logic + Feeding the Mind" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Lewis Carroll wrote several mathematics books. He was mainly interested in using logic diagrams as a pedagogical tool. Symbolic Logic, first published in 1896, contains literally dozens of puzzles. He believed heartily that children would enjoy learning mathematics if they could be enticed by amusing stories and puzzles. The Game of Logic, published in 1897, was intended to teach logic to children. His "game" consisted of a card with two diagrams, together with a set of counters, five grey and four red. The two diagrams were Carroll's version of a two-set and a three-set Venn diagram. A manuscript of a brief lecture Lewis Carroll once gave, Feeding the Mind, discusses the importance of not only feeding the body, but also the mind. Carroll wittily puts forth connections between the diet of the body and mind, and gives helpful tips on how to best digest knowledge in the brain. This essay was originally printed in 1907. Lewis Carroll ((1832-1898) is best known as the author of Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. His real name was Charles Dodgson. His father, the Reverend Charles Dodgson, instilled in his son a love of mathematics from an early age. Lewis studied at Oxford, and later taught there as a Mathematics Lecturer.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 300円

Logic as the Science of the Pure Concept Exploring the Essence of Logical Reasoning【電子書籍】[ Benedetto Croce ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Logic as the Science of the Pure Concept," Benedetto Croce presents a profound exploration of logic, positioning it as a fundamental science that transcends mere formalism. Croce's literary style is both rigorous and accessible, employing a dialectical method that invites readers to engage deeply with the evolution of thought. Situated within the broader context of early 20th-century philosophical discourse, this work significantly critiques contemporary positivism and exemplifies Croce's commitment to idealism, illuminating the dynamic relationship between concepts and reality. Benedetto Croce (1866-1952), an eminent Italian philosopher, historian, and critic, was profoundly influenced by Hegelian dialectics and the tumultuous socio-political climate of his time. His rich intellectual background and commitment to aesthetics and ethics shaped his ideas on logic, reflecting his belief that the understanding of pure concepts is pivotal to human expression and knowledge. Croce's multifaceted career as a cultural leader and a political figure in post-World War I Italy provided him with a unique perspective on the role of logic in shaping consciousness and societal values. This book is a must-read for scholars and students alike, as it not only challenges conventional notions of logic but also invites readers to reconsider the intricate interplay between thought and reality. Croce's insightful discourse is essential for those interested in philosophical inquiry, offering vital perspectives that resonate with contemporary debates on ideology, knowledge, and human understanding.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 310円

Logic as the Science of the Pure Concept【電子書籍】[ Benedetto Croce ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Logic as the Science of the Pure Concept," Benedetto Croce presents a nuanced exploration of logic as a vital philosophical discipline that transcends mere formalism. The text argues for a conception of logic deeply intertwined with aesthetics and ethics, emphasizing the role of human creativity in the formation of concepts. Written in Croce's distinctive lyrical style, the book advocates for a dynamic interpretation of logic that sees it as a living, evolving science rather than a static set of rules, reflecting the broader context of early 20th-century thought that grappled with the implications of idealism and the limitations of empiricism. Benedetto Croce (1866-1952), an influential Italian philosopher and historian, was driven by the belief that philosophy should address the complexities of human experience. His commitment to idealist thought and the dialectical method is evidenced in this work, which draws upon his extensive background in aesthetics and historical materialism. Croce's multifaceted career as a political figure and a cultural critic further informs his insights, positioning him as a central figure in the revival of philosophical inquiry in post-Risorgimento Italy. Highly recommended for scholars and students alike, Croce's treatise offers a profound reexamination of logic that challenges preconceived notions and invites readers to engage with concepts in a novel way. By bridging the gap between abstract reasoning and the lived experiences of individuals, this work not only enriches our understanding of logic but also redefines its significance within the broader spectrum of human thought.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 310円

Strategy The Logic of War and Peace, Revised and Enlarged Edition【電子書籍】[ Edward N. Luttwak ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>“If you want peace, prepare for war.” “A buildup of offensive weapons can be purely defensive.” “The worst road may be the best route to battle.” Strategy is made of such seemingly self-contradictory propositions, Edward Luttwak showsーthey exemplify the paradoxical logic that pervades the entire realm of conflict.In this widely acclaimed work, now revised and expanded, Luttwak unveils the peculiar logic of strategy level by level, from grand strategy down to combat tactics. Having participated in its planning, Luttwak examines the role of air power in the 1991 Gulf War, then detects the emergence of “post-heroic” war in Kosovo in 1999ーan American war in which not a single American soldier was killed.In the tradition of Carl von Clausewitz, <em>Strategy</em> goes beyond paradox to expose the dynamics of reversal at work in the crucible of conflict. As victory is turned into defeat by over-extension, as war brings peace by exhaustion, ordinary linear logic is overthrown. Citing examples from ancient Rome to our own days, from Barbarossa and Pearl Harbor down to minor combat affrays, from the strategy of peace to the latest operational methods of war, this book by one of the world’s foremost authorities reveals the ultimate logic of military failure and success, of war and peace.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,909円

Votes, Drugs, and Violence The Political Logic of Criminal Wars in Mexico【電子書籍】[ Guillermo Trejo ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>One of the most surprising developments in Mexico's transition to democracy is the outbreak of criminal wars and large-scale criminal violence. Why did Mexican drug cartels go to war as the country transitioned away from one-party rule? And why have criminal wars proliferated as democracy has consolidated and elections have become more competitive subnationally? In Votes, Drugs, and Violence, Guillermo Trejo and Sandra Ley develop a political theory of criminal violence in weak democracies that elucidates how democratic politics and the fragmentation of power fundamentally shape cartels' incentives for war and peace. Drawing on in-depth case studies and statistical analysis spanning more than two decades and multiple levels of government, Trejo and Ley show that electoral competition and partisan conflict were key drivers of the outbreak of Mexico's crime wars, the intensification of violence, and the expansion of war and violence to the spheres of local politics and civil society.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 6,347円

Posterior Analytics Exploring Knowledge and Logic in Ancient Greek Philosophy【電子書籍】[ Aristotle ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Posterior Analytics," Aristotle intricately explores the nature of scientific knowledge and the principles of demonstrative reasoning. The work is a cornerstone of his epistemological inquiries, illustrating his belief in empirical observation as the foundation of knowledge acquisition. Written in a dialectical style characteristic of Aristotelian logic, the text examines the relationship between thought and reality, presenting a rigorous framework through which one can attain certain knowledge. Aristotle distinguishes between different types of knowledge, emphasizing the importance of definitions and syllogistic reasoning as means to uncover universal truths amidst the particulars of sensory experience. Aristotle, one of history's most influential philosophers, made significant contributions across multiple domains, including ethics, politics, metaphysics, and natural sciences. His empirical approach and systematic methodology in the study of the world were revolutionary in the 4th century BCE and profoundly shaped subsequent intellectual thought. "Posterior Analytics" reflects his commitment to understanding the principles underlying knowledge itself, likely influenced by his desire to bridge the gap between perception and intellect while and responding to the challenges posed by his predecessors. This text is essential reading for anyone interested in the foundations of scientific inquiry and the philosophy of knowledge. Aristotle'??s clear articulation of the processes of understanding will not only benefit students of philosophy but also enrich the grasp of scholars and practitioners seeking to ground their disciplines in sound reasoning and evidence. "Posterior Analytics" remains a vital resource for comprehending the evolution of scientific method and philosophical thought.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 310円

Law in the Time of Oxymora A Synaesthesia of Language, Logic and Law【電子書籍】[ Rostam J. Neuwirth ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>What do different concepts like <em>true lie, bad luck, honest thief, old news, spacetime, glocalization, symplexity, sustainable development, constant change, soft law, substantive due process, pure law, bureaucratic efficiency</em> and <em>global justice</em> have in common? What connections do they share with innumerable paradoxes, like the ones of happiness, time, globalization, sex, and of free will and fate?</p> <p>Law in the Time of Oxymora provides answers to these conundrums by critically comparing the apparent rise in recent years of the use of rhetorical figures called "essentially oxymoronic concepts" (i.e. oxymoron, enantiosis and paradoxes) in the areas of art, science and law. Albeit to varying degrees, these concepts share the quality of giving expression to apparent contradictions. Through this quality, they also challenge the scientific paradigm rooted in the dualistic thinking and binary logic that is traditionally used in the West, as opposed to the East, where a paradoxical mode of thinking and fuzzy logic is said to have been cultivated.</p> <p>Following a review of oxymora and paradoxes in art and various scientific writings, hundreds of "hard cases" featuring oxymora and a comprehensive review of the legal literature are discussed, revealing evidence suggesting that the present scientific paradigm of dualism alone will no longer be able to tackle the challenges arising from increasing diversity and complexity coupled with an apparent acceleration of change. <em>Law in the Time of Oxymora</em> reaches the surprising conclusion that essentially oxymoronic concepts may inaugurate a new era of cognition, involving the ways the senses interact and how we reason, think and make decisions in law and in life.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,285円

Dark Ecology For a Logic of Future Coexistence【電子書籍】[ Timothy Morton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Timothy Morton argues that ecological awareness in the present Anthropocene era takes the form of a strange loop or M?bius strip, twisted to have only one side. Deckard travels this oedipal path in <em>Blade Runner</em> (1982) when he learns that he might be the enemy he has been ordered to pursue. Ecological awareness takes this shape because ecological phenomena have a loop form that is also fundamental to the structure of how things are.</p> <p>The logistics of agricultural society resulted in global warming and hardwired dangerous ideas about life-forms into the human mind. Dark ecology puts us in an uncanny position of radical self-knowledge, illuminating our place in the biosphere and our belonging to a species in a sense that is far less obvious than we like to think. Morton explores the logical foundations of the ecological crisis, which is suffused with the melancholy and negativity of coexistence yet evolving, as we explore its loop form, into something playful, anarchic, and comedic. His work is a skilled fusion of humanities and scientific scholarship, incorporating the theories and findings of philosophy, anthropology, literature, ecology, biology, and physics. Morton hopes to reestablish our ties to nonhuman beings and to help us rediscover the playfulness and joy that can brighten the dark, strange loop we traverse.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,587円
