Thought and World

The Hidden Necessities

Beschreibung

James F. Ross is a creative and independent thinker in contemporary metaphysics and philosophy of mind. In this concise metaphysical essay, he argues clearly and analytically that meaning, truth, impossibility, natural necessity, and our intelligent perception of nature fit together into a distinctly realist account of thought and world. Ross articulates a moderate realism about repeatable natural structures and our abstractive ability to discern them that poses a challenge to many of the common assumptions and claims of contemporary analytic philosophy. He develops a broadly Aristotelian metaphysics that recognizes the "hidden necessities" of things, which are disclosed through the sciences, which ground his account of real impossibility as a kind of vacuity, and which require the immateriality of the human ability to understand. Those ideas are supported by a novel account of false judgment. Ross aims to offer an analytically and historically respectable alternative to the prevailing positions of many British-American philosophers. "In Thought and World, James F. Ross synthesizes and develops much of his work from the last two decades; and as he did in his two other major works (Philosophical Theology and Portraying Analogy) he challenges many of the common dogmatic assumptions from the mainstream of analytic philosophy. While relentlessly challenging these assumptions from a unique and unorthodox perspective, he is nonetheless able to masterfully articulate his position using the dialect of philosophical discourse in analytic philosophy."-John Zeis, Canisius College

Autor

James Ross (Hellfire Hero) is a one-of-a-kind, dream-pursuing, robust, most victorious, and visionary author, who furthermore operates Hellfire Hero, his digital concept art sole proprietorship on the side of his authorship. To Fly Above the Flames will be his first published novel; however, he is recognized for selling multiple pieces corresponding to his seven years of work in the community. His unforgettable passion is to dream, to be a digital concept artist and a writer, clearly self-expressive with resilience to remain unstoppable, with honor, heroism, and grace gripped to his very heart. Born and raised in Andover, Minnesota, James adapted his creative and determined principles from multiple challenging endeavours, and convoluted changes in his creative process furthered introspection. At the heart of it all he was inspired to finally strive for success with a definitive goal to bring his desire to inspire humanity and himself to fruition through creative identity, and attaining a fresh start as a committed author. Furthermore, he still remains engaged in digital concept art with Hellfire Hero. He resides peacefully in Fridley, Minnesota, loving fashion, fitness, space in general, nature, all forms of art, and is heavily intrigued by science fiction and fantasy works. He is also a very critical thinker and enjoys critiquing other works of literature.
