John Burgess is the author of a rich and creative body of work which seeks to defend classical logic and mathematics through counter-criticism of their nominalist, intuitionist, relevantist, and other critics.

Synopsis Respect by : Richard Dean
Respect plays a prominent role in contemporary moral philosophy, as well as our every-day moral thought. Ordinary discussion about morality is often framed in terms of demands for respect or complaints about being disrespected, yet basic questions about the concept and role of respect are frequently overlooked. Here, leading philosophers present their latest ideas and fresh perspectives to point research on the topic in new directions. Following an introduction to the historical rise of respect as a central concept in moral discourse, Part I addresses the fundamental questions of what respect is; its nature and basis. Part II then examines questions in moral theory, for example what exactly ought to be respected, what role respect plays in morality, and which different types of respect are appropriate and morally significant. Part III concludes with the practical application of requirements of respect, with implications for significant moral issues of our time including environmental ethics, social justice, disability, bioethics, and more.

Synopsis Selected Philosophical Essays by : Nikolai Alexandrovich Dobrolyubov
Nikolai Alexandrovich Dobrolyubov (1836-1861) became perhaps the foremost Russian philosopher and literary critic during his short but extremely productive life of only twenty-five years. An eminent Russian thinker, his works include texts on philosophy, sociology, aesthetics, literary criticism, ethics and pedagogics. The misrepresentation of his ideas by Marxists may be one reason why he is so little known in the West. For example the 14th Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica grants him only brief mention. Strongly influenced by Hegel, Bruno Bauer, and Feurbach, this young genius unified literary and social criticism to an extent rare in world letters while thirsting for a just balance between personal freedom and social harmony. This fat volume contains excellent translations of many of his masterpieces including "What is Oblomoshchina?" "Realm of Darkness," and "When Will the Day Come?" The middle magisterial essay must surely rank among the very best literary critical essays written in any language.

Synopsis Selected Philosophical Essays by : Nikolai G. Chernyshevsky
Nikolai Gavrilovich Chernyshevsky (1828-1889), educator, critic and revolutionary, was the son of a priest. He was born in Saratov, Russia, in 1828. After graduating from a theological seminary in 1846, he enrolled in the University of St. Petersburg. Here he spent four years during a period which may be described as perhaps the worst in the reactionary reign of Nicholas I. It was then that his social and political views took shape - largely under the influence of the revolution of 1848 in Europe. He became a confirmed socialist, determined to devote himself to the cause of the emancipation of his people. Lenin wrote in 1901 of the powerful influence of "Chernyshevsky who knew how to bring up real revolutionaries even by censored articles."His influence rapidly grew and spread, particularly among the intellectual revolutionary-minded commoners. Each article of his was eagerly read and distributed in handwritten copies. Before long the authorities decided to cut short his activities, which, they realized, were highly dangerous to the tsarist regime. In the summer of 1862, Chernyshevsky was arrested and flung into a dungeon in the Fortress of Peter and Paul. In the fortress he produced his major work, the novel What Is To Be Done? which profoundly influenced the Russian public.After two years in the fortress, Chernyshevsky was sent to a penal camp in Siberia. It was only in 1883 that he was permitted to leave Siberia. He went to Astrakhan, where he lived for six years under police surveillance. In 1889 he returned to his native Saratov, where he died the same year.
