"Wolfgang Spohn presents the first full account of the dynamic laws of belief, by means of ranking theory. This book is his long-awaited presentation of ranking theory and its ramifications. He motivates and introduces the basic notion of a ranking function, which recognises degrees of belief and at the same time accounts for belief simpliciter. He provides a measurement theory for ranking functions, accounts for auto-epistemology in ra ..."

"This collection of essays is dedicated to 'Joe' Karel Lambert. The contributors are all personally affected to Joe in some way or other, but they are definitely not the only ones. Whatever excuses there are - there are some -, the editors apologize to whomever they have neglected. But even so the collection displays how influential Karel Lambert has been, personally and through his teaching and his writings. ..."

"In this collection I present 16 of my, I feel, more substantial papers on theoretical philosophy, 12 as originally published, one co-authored with Ulrike Haas-Spohn (Chapter14), one (Chapter 15) that was a brief conference commentary, but is in fact a suitable appendix to Chapter 14, one as a translation of a German paper (Chapter 12), and one newly written for this volume (Chapter 16), which, however, is only my recent attempt to prope ..."
"It is an obvious fact that human agency is constrained and structured by many kinds of rules: rules that are constitutive for communication, morality, persons, and society, and juridical rules. So the question is: what roles are played by social rules and the structural traits of human agency in rational decision making? What bearing does this have on the theory of practical rationality? These issues ca ..."

"Physical Causation discusses in a systematic way an original, positive account of causation: the conserved quantities account of causal processes that Phil Dowe has been developing over the past ten years. Dowe offers a clear and original account of causation based firmly in contemporary science. This is an important, original book that will be widely discussed among philosophers and students working in contemporary metaphysics and phi ..."
"Broschiertes BuchWas ist die Natur? Seit der Antike gehört diese Frage zu den Hauptthemen der Philosophie. Eine philosophische Gesamtsicht der Natur muss zunächst von den Ergebnissen der Naturwissenschaften ausgehen. Allgemeine und spezielle Relativitätstheorie sowie Quantenphysik werfen vor allem die Frage nach dem Zusammenhang von Raum, Zeit und Materie auf. Die Philosophie der Physik bildet den Schwerpunkt dieser Einführung. Der Auto ..."

Dieser Band bringt zwei von Lewis' wichtigsten Aufsatzen zur Philosophie des Geistes. Die Reduktion des Geistes enthalt die definitive Darlegung ..."
