Carl G. Hempel exerted greater influence upon philosophers of science than any other figure during the 20th century. In this far-reaching collection, distinguished philosophers contribute valuable studies that illuminate and clarify the central problems to which Hempel was devoted. The essays enhance our understanding of the development of logical empiricism as the major intellectual influence for scientifically-oriented philosophers and philosophically-minded scientists of the 20th century.

The book explores the evolving understanding of intelligence across various species, from bacteria to mountain gorillas, challenging human-centric views of consciousness. James Fetzer, a prominent science philosopher, critiques outdated mechanistic models and presents a new theory of intelligence rooted in evolutionary principles. He argues that machines can exhibit intelligence without possessing minds, offering a fresh perspective on the nature of consciousness and rationality in both biological and artificial entities.

Focusing on the John F.

Time is showing a growing development of skepticism about the official version of 9/11. The experts contributing to this book have conducted their own research into this seminal event that the Bush administration has used to subvert civil liberties, conduct preemptive wars, and bring the world perilously closer to chaos. In articles and appendices, The 9/11 Conspiracy shows why it’s unlikely that the Twin Towers were brought down by the crashing planes and subsequent fires; why the Pentagon was most likely not hit by a Boeing 757; and why the story of Flight 93 could not have happened as the government claims. For example, the Towers were built to withstand much more impact and heat than actually occurred, and the collapse contradicts the laws of physics. The notable contributors here — including David Ray Griffin and Morgan Reynolds — have thoroughly scrutinized 9/11 from every angle and found the government portrayal of what occurred deceptive — and dangerous.
