Through a careful examination of this signed writing, I shall argue that readers nevertheless encounter an indirect, un-authorized discourse, which presents the occasion for both a variety of moods and the cultivation of spirit. The thought of death calls forth either a certain negative mood or presents a call to action for the good. However, this distinction is problematic insofar as we consider the textuality of Kierkegaard’s discourse, which leaves existing individuals always caught in between the dialectic of mood and spirit.

Childers evaluates MEP against the problems suffered by the Principle of Indifference and one theme of the chapter is that MEP can’t solve the problem of induction, since a theory of induction is needed to tell us when the Principle can be applied to symmetrical possibilities. The book concludes that the problem of induction is a persistent problem, despite the best efforts of probability theorists. Philosophy and Probability is a refreshing addition to the literature. It’s written in a relaxed style that doesn’t compromise precision, and the fun examples from the Czech Republic make it a pleasure to read. I recommend the book to philosophers interested in learning the topic; it would work particularly well as a supplement to the primary material in a graduate course on the philosophy of probability.

Después de clarificar este problema, el autor intenta esbozar las soluciones ofrecidas por estos dos filósofos tan distintos. En el caso de Wittgenstein, esto toma la forma de trazar el desarrollo de su noción de “juego del lenguaje”. En contraste, una consideración de Kierkegaard conduce a la pregunta por el engaño de cualquier solución. En qué sentido la expresión de experiencias inmediatas en el lenguaje puede leerse como un “truco astuto” es algo que se deja al lector por decidir.

Se concentra en las suposiciones fundamentales involucradas en la lectura de Ser y Tiempo de Heidegger y la “célebre” reciente atención de Derrida a este texto. ¿Acaso el trabajo temprano de Heidegger está esencialmente manchado por la “metafísica de la presencia”, tal y como Derrida quiere sugerir? Después de trazar la interpretación de Derrida, el autor intenta mostrar cómo los lectores de Ser y Tiempo no necesitan sucumbir ante las críticas de Derrida.
