The dispute is a mere logomachy. Kant also stands clear of injustice towards Reid, when it is considered that his strictures on the Scottish philosophers were prior to the appearance of the " Essays on the Intellectual Powers," the work in which Reid first expounded his doctrine of causality.]g IV. On THE ESSENTIAL CHARACTERS BY WHICH THE PRINCIPLES Of Common Sense Are Discriminated.It now remains to consider what are the essential notes or characters by which we are enabled to distinguish our original from our derivative convictions. These characters, I think, may be reduced to four;—1, their Incomprehensibility—2, theii Simplicity—3, their Necessity and absolute Universality—4, their comparative Evidence and Certainty.1. In reference to the first;—A conviction is incomprehensible when there is merely given us in consciousness—That its object is (ciVi trfri) ; and when we are unable to comprehend through a higher notion or belief, Why or How it is (oidn s'rfri). When we are able to comprehend why or how a thing is, the belief of the existence of that thing is not a primary datum of consciousness, but a subsumption under the cognition or belief which affords its reason.2. As to the second;—It is manifest that if a cognition or belief be made up of, and can be explicated into, a plurality of cognitions or beliefs, that, as compound, it cannot be original.3. Touching the third;—Necessity and Universality may be regarded as coincident. For when a belief is necessary it is, eo ipso, universal; and that a belief is universal, is a certain index that it must be necessary. (See Leibnitz, Nouveaux Essais, L. i. § 4, p. 32.) To prove the necessity, the universality must, however, be absolute; for a relative universality indicates no more than c... ... Read more

Great Entertainment
This is a story of a poor but attractive and accomplished art historian who romps through the bedrooms and boardrooms of the art and entertainment establishments of Manhattan, with romantic side trips to Europe, Mexico and Brazil. The protagonist finds himself suddenly in the lap of luxury by the simple expedient of marrying a wealthy heiress. His world unravels when he cannot resist the allure of an alpha female who habitually brings men to ruin including the protagonist. The plot is minimal.The great fun of this book is found in the author's keen observation and description of the morals and mores of the book's predatory characters: social climbers, the landed gentry, and the people who serve them, from gay museum directors to streetwiseapartment doormen. The scenes depicting them seducing, using, entertaining and abusing each other are delicious and funny. The exotic characters are rendered in sharp relief and with the instantly recognizable wit of a New Yorker cartoon. The novel's chief flaw is the unlikely sentimental ending, but it is entirely forgivable given the book's romantic bent, particularly toward the protagonist with whom the author seems to identify strongly. Great entertainment offering hours of forgetfulness. ... Read more

Product Description

David Hamilton is a leader in the American institutionalist school of heterodox economics that emerged after WWII. This volume includes 25 articles written by Hamilton over a period of nearly half a century. In these articles he examines the philosophical foundations and practical problems of economics. The result of this is a unique institutionalist view of how economies evolve and how economics itself has evolved with them. Hamilton applies insight gained from his study of culture to send the message that human actions situated in culture determine our economic situation.

David Hamilton has advanced heterodox economics by replacing intellectual concepts from orthodox economics that hinder us with concepts that help us. In particular, Hamilton has helped replace equilibrium with evolution, make-believe with reality, ideological distortion of government with practical use of government, the economy as a product of natural law with the economy as a product of human law and, last, he has helped us replace the entrepreneur as a hero with the entrepreneur as a real person.

These articles provide an alternative to the self-adjusting market. They provide an explanation of how the interaction of cultural patterns and technology determine the evolutionary path of the economic development of a nation. This is not a simple materialist depiction of economic history as some Marxists have advocated, instead Hamilton treats technology and culture as endogenous forces, embedded and inseparable from each other and therefore, economic development. This volume will be of most interest and value to professional economists and graduate students who are looking for an in-depth explanation of the origins and significance of institutional economics.

Tangled Bloodlines -- Pastoral Passion
Orlando's greedy brother wants him out of the way.Rosalind's uncle the Duke wants her out of the way.When Orlando disappears at the same time Rosalind and her cousin disappear, the Duke sends the brother to retrieve them.

Not one of Shakespeare's best plays, but entertaining enough, especially as it has been done so well by Arkangel Shakespeare. ... Read more

Product Description
Sir William Rowan Hamilton (1805-65) was a distinguished Irish mathematician who worked in the fields of classical mechanics, optics and algebra, as well as in physics and astronomy. Hamilton was the discoverer of quaternions, which are defined as a non-commutative number system which extends the complex numbers. He first described them in 1843, and devoted much of his subsequent life to studying and lecturing on the concept. This book was published posthumously in 1866, with the final editing by his son. Until they were replaced, from the mid-1880s, by vector analysis, quaternions were taught as a major topic in advanced mathematics at most universities, and their utility in describing spatial relations has led to a revival of interest in them since the late twentieth century. ...

Historically interesting, but ...
The book was first published in 1866, and, not surprisingly, it lacks figures and it is loaded with antique terminology.Don't try to learn about quaternions using this book.If that is your goal, get Jack Kuipers' 2002 paperback, which is far more accessible.

Personally, I don't think the purchase price was wasted.The book was worth its price, if only to see how mathematical tracts were typeset back in the day. ... Read more

One of the most imaginative mathematicians of the nineteenth century, SirWilliam Rowan Hamilton (1805–1865) changed the course of modern algebra with his discoveryof quaternions in 1843. Although Hamilton's work was largely theoretical, his ideas came to haveinvaluable practical applications with the advent of quantum mechanics in the twentieth century.In this acclaimed biography, Thomas L. Hankins brings together the many aspects of Hamilton'slife and work—from his significant contributions to mathematics, optics, and mechanics to hispassion for metaphysics, poetry, and politics—fully portraying the brilliant man whose faith andidealism guided him in everything he did. ...

Product Description
"The Christian in Complete Armour" by William Gurnall (1616-1679) has been a source of encouragement and inspiration to Christians for over 340 years; but to the modern reader its length, language and structure can often hinder the enjoyment of its true value. In 1914, Hamilton Smith (1862-1943) set out to make the heart of this book (and of Gurnall himself) more accessible to the reader of his day. He organised a selection of extracts under topical headings covering such themes as sin and guilt, glad tidings and joy, faith and holiness, strife and contention, servants and service, reading and meditation, prayer and thanksgiving, and patience and hope. Retaining Gurnall's original text, he created a volume of devotional readings which have stood the test of time in sharing Gurnall's challenge to the Christian's conscience. The publisher is pleased to make this classic work available once again. ... Read more
