Böcker av Jeremy Barris

Deep Perception draws on analytic, continental, and Eastern philosophy to argue that direct perceptions of the being or essential character of a person, thing, or situation are possible. These perceptions are also enactments of our own being. Jeremy Barris explores their nature, logic, and practice.

Aims to resolve three connected problems central to philosophical thought. This book argues that while this kind of contradiction is inescapable, it is so thoroughgoing that, like the Liar's Paradox, it cancels its own meaning.

Shows that we can conceive and live with a pluralism of standpoints with conflicting standards for truth-with the truth of each being entirely unaffected by the truth of the others. This book emphasizes the importance of the nonargumentative features of the dialogues: their drama, myths, fictions, anecdotes, and humor.
