INFINITE REGRESS: THE THEORY AND HISTORY OF VARIETIES OF CHANGE
Book ID/图书代码： 13149010B36998
English Summary/英文概要： Regression addresses what has come before; it is a matter of looking backward?of retrospections. The motionless things of nature are generally forward-looking their problem is that of the question: Where do we go from here? It is primarily with intelligent beings that we ask: How did we get to where we now find ourselves? Regression and infinite regression in particular is thus a concept that has gained a greater prominence in the human sciences than in the sciences of nature.
Argumentation to infinite regress has long been a favored instrument of philosophical dialectic. Philosophers have used it to disprove the positions they model to criticize. Infinite regresses, so they reason, are unrealizable: they cannot be completed so as to achieve some definitive result. And thereby anything that would engender an infinite regress is automatically made ineffective.
Infinite Regress examines the theory of regression and includes information on the topics of vicious regress, innocuous regress, circularity regress, and propositional regress. Also discussed is the history of regression stemming from ancient times, to medieval times, to early modern history. Some of the other chapters in this book focus on world class philosophers including Immanuel Kant, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, and Bertrand Russell. The book will play a significant role in theoretical philosophy as well as in social philosophy and the philosophy of mind.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 逆流即已经发生过；是回顾的问题？是回顾。自然界静态事物通常都是往前看待自己的问题：我们从哪里来？当然，我们这么问说明我们是有智慧的：我们是如何到达现在这个阶段的？逆流和无限逆流尤其引人注目的概念在于人类科学远胜于自然科学。
关于无限逆流的争论长久以来一直是哲学辩证的工具。无限逆流理性，而不可理解：它们不能被完成以期达到一些无限的结果。因此，任何产生一个无限逆流的事物自动生成无效。
本书审视了回顾的理论，包括就堕落的回顾、无害的回顾、环绕回顾以及命题回顾话题的信息。还讨论了回顾的历史，从远古时期到中世纪再到早期现代历史。本书一些其他章节将重点放在世界一流哲学家包括伊曼努尔•康德（Immanuel Kant）、格奥尔格•威廉•弗里德里希•黑格尔（Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel）以及伯特兰•罗素（Bertrand Russell）。本书还将在哲学理论、社会哲学以及哲学思想上起到重要作用。(XJJ)
