Synopsis Going Home Through Seven Paths to Nowhere by : Katalin G. Kállay

This book is one of those rare combinations of intellectual brilliance, stylistic clarity, and sheer verve. The book contains a series of major works of American short fiction by Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and Henry James as occasions for a mode of reading in which the readers aim is to establish an intimate relationship with the special arrangement of words in a text, governed by a trust in a happy coincidence of moments in which one might recognize the words relevance to ones life. Dr. Kllay calls this a good encounter, a term she adopts from the writings of philosopher Stanley Cavell. In her detailed, theoretical introduction, Dr. Kllay lays bare her scholarly debt, primarily to the writings of Cavell himself and to the work of literary critic Wolfgang Iser, as she further develops and clarifies the idea of the good encounter. Here she identifies the good encounter with a particular trope, which appears within the tales themselves, and which also

Synopsis Friedrich Waismann by : Dejan Makovec

This edited collection covers Friedrich Waismann's most influential contributions to twentieth-century philosophy of language: his concepts of open texture and language strata, his early criticism of verificationism and the analytic-synthetic distinction, as well as their significance for experimental and legal philosophy. In addition, Waismann's original papers in ethics, metaphysics, epistemology and the philosophy of mathematics are here evaluated. They introduce Waismann's theory of action along with his groundbreaking work on fiction, proper names and Kafka's Trial. Waismann is known as the voice of Ludwig Wittgenstein in the Vienna Circle. At the same time we find in his works a determined critic of logical positivism and ordinary language philosophy, who anticipated much later developments in the analytic tradition and devised his very own vision for its future.

Synopsis Democracy and Deficits by : Dóra Győrffy

"The persistence of fiscal imbalances in advanced and emerging economies alike belies the expectations of early globalization theorists about a worldwide convergence of macroeconomic policies. Using a political economy perspective the book aims to identify the main factors, which are responsible for this lasting divergence. Based on qualitative and quantitative evidence from the European Union with case studies on Hungary and Sweden, it finds that the level of public trust in the political system and the capacity of the elite for consensus critically affect nationstates' prospects for fiscal sustainability."--BOOK JACKET.

Synopsis The Acquisition of English Restrictive Relative Clauses by Hungarian Learners of English by : Judit Kiss-Gulyás

"The present work uses the standard version of principles and parameters theory of Universal Grammar to address second language acquisition issues. It is assumed that comparative analysis of Hungarian and English based on the model enables the researcher to formulate precise and testable questions and the empirical research provides reliable answers." "The investigated area is the acquisition of English restrictive relative clauses by L1 Hungarian learners of L2 English. This area of grammar causes problems: most of these are proficiency-determined, but there are some which are observable even at fairly advanced levels. In the given framework it is postulated that some properties of parameters set differently for the L1 can be reset to the new language, whereas other properties seem to resist re-setting and remain non-native-like in the interlanguage of even near-native L2 English speakers of L1 Hungarian." "The book may interest pure and applied linguists, psycholinguists as well as practising teachers as it attempts to offer a possible answer to the often made observation: there are parts of L2 grammar which are relatively easy to acquire despite the language differences, yet there are several features that remain faulty or misunderstood despite teacher and learner effort."--BOOK JACKET.

Synopsis Architectural Humanities in Progress by : Bagoes Wiryomartono

This monograph brings three branches of philosophy together: epistemology, ethics and aesthetics. It assesses the built environment as a case study from a phenomenological perspective. Under the notion of phenomenology, this study understands the built environment as the hermeneutical phenomenon of being in the life-world that is experienced by people within the socio-cultural and historical context of habitation. Hermeneutically, the built environment as a phenomenon is contextually interwoven with other phenomena within the socio-cultural, historical, and environmental network. Phenomenologically speaking, the task of the study is to excavate, listen to, unfold, divulge, and reconstruct the socio-culturally, environmentally, and historically constructed relationship between people and their built environment that build, develop, and elaborate the system of knowledge, ethics, and aesthetics. By and large, its nature and findings are theoretical and interdisciplinary, so it will be of interest not only for philosophers, but also to scholars studying urban development and anthropology.

Synopsis The Reality of the Unreal by : Judit Borbély

In the nineteenth century the great cities underwent the most conspicuous transformation. The beauties and the dark side of urban existence soon came to be one of the central issues in contemporary literature and art. In The Reality of the Unreal, the works of four great English writers of the time are analyzed, with the focus on their representation of the city. Through the concrete image of London and Paris around the turn of the century as well as through the metaphorical role of the city as a concept, this booka new volume in the Philosophiae Doctores seriesprovides differing views about the age, as seen by H. G. Wells, George Gissing, Joseph Conrad, and Henry James. The books analysis arrives at the complex image of civilization at the end of the nineteenth century.
