Time of the Sages
2,400 years ago there was a sudden and dramatic burst of new ideas across the world.Simultaneously in Athens, Socrates was prompting his contemporaries to question their assumptions; in India, the Buddha was grappling with the boundary between the self and the world; and in China, Confucius was formulating a philosophy based on collective harmony. For all their differences, each was pioneering a provocative new way of thinking about ethics and politics; a shift from asking what the gods demand to asking how human beings should live together.Where religion had relied on authority, these secular philosophies relied on persuasion. These were not prophets, but teachers. They wrote nothing down. It was only through extraordinary followers and compelling arguments that their ideas spread.Time of the Sages tells the story of this watershed in the history of the human mind, and shows why these ancient questions about how to live still matter today.

Philosophical Logic
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Philosophical logic is a term introduced by Bertrand Russell to represent his idea that the workings of natural language and thought can only be adequately represented by an artificial language; essentially it was his formalization program for the natural language. Today the term is used with several different meanings. One modern meaning, espoused mainly by philosophers, is that philosophical logic is the study of the more specifically philosophical aspects of logic in contrast with symbolic logic; for example Sybil Wolfram lists the study of the concepts of argument, meaning, and truth. Colin McGinn includes identity, existence, predication, necessity, and truth as the main topics of his book, which he writes was that was aimed "to bring philosophy back into philosophical logic". Susan Haack argued that there is no distinction between philosophical logic seen this way and philosophy of logic.

Felsefe Tarihi
Felsefenin muazzam macerasi üzerine ciddi anlamda oturup düsününce iki soru ortaya cikiyor. Ilki, Var olan nedir; ikincisiyse, Önemli olan nedir A.C. Grayling, kendine özgü duru anlatimi ve zarafetiyle okurlari Buda, Konfücyüs ve Sokrates öncesi dönemdeki dünya görüsleri ve ahlak anlayislarindan Hiristiyanligin Avrupa düsüncesini etkisi altina aldigi döneme, Rönesans ve Aydinlanmadan Mill,Nietzsche, Sartre ve günümüz felsefesine götürüyor. Hindistan, Cin ve Arap Fars dünyasinin büyük felsefi geleneklerinden bahsetmeden felsefenin hikayesi eksik kalacagi icin söz konusu felsefi gelenekleri de karsilastirmali olarak inceliyor. Ögrenciler icin anlasilir, felsefe okurlari icin ufuk acici bir calisma olan bu kitap; epistemoloji, metafizik, estetik, etik, mantik, zihin felsefesi, dil felsefesi, siyaset felsefesi ve bu alanlardaki tartismalarin tarihini, ünlü filozoflarin yani sira daha az bilinen önemli düsünürlerin fikirleri üzerinden ele aliyor. Ayni zamanda bu düsünce birikiminden neler ögrendigimizi ve daha ne gibi ilerlemeler kaydedilmesi gerektigini sorguluyor. Ali Berk Idilin özenli cevirisiyle sundugumuz A.C. Graylingin Felsefe Tarihi, on yillar sonra felsefe tarihi alaninda yazilan ilk kapsamli ve anlasilir tek ciltlik calisma olarak dönüm noktasi niteliginde bir basyapit. Son derece acik bir dille ve nüktedanlikla kaleme alinmis, entelektüel acidan keyifli bir arastirma. Bati disi felsefeyi kapsayan bölümleriyle ilgi cekici kesifler ortaya koyuyor.Sunday Times
