It is said what BPD is and is not. In particular, it is made clear that BPD is based on splitting, as opposed to repression, and on this basis it is made clear why, although people afficted with BPD often behave psychopathically, they are not psychopaths.

El principio básico de la teoría del apego es que los apegos emocionales de una persona influyen en las formas en que el individuo trata las situaciones problemáticas. Y la forma en que uno maneja situaciones problemáticas influye en las relaciones de la persona con los demás. Este libro explica qué es la teoría del apego y cómo las enfermedades mentales en adultos, incluidos los problemas de relación, pueden explicarse en términos de la misma.

Se explica qué es el trastorno límite de la personalidad y se aclaran algunos conceptos erróneos comúnmente conocidos al respecto.

This book proves a new theorem in recursion theory with major consequences for logic, philosophy, AI, and epistemic engineering. The main result is that the class of all recursive, truth-preserving deductive logics is not recursively enumerable-no algorithm can list all possible formal systems. This strengthens Gödel: incompleteness does not just block any single system from capturing all truths; it prevents recursion itself from surveying the space of formal systems. The core phi...

Determinism is the doctrine that the world's condition at any given time is a consequence of its condition at some prior time. The world is predictable only to the extent that it is deterministic, but even a strictly deterministic world cannot possibly be entirely predictable. The reasons for this are stated in this fast-paced, tightly argued monograph, as are the reasons why, contrary to what is generally assumed, it can in fact be established with reasonable certainty that the world is a...

Philosophy is the science of the science and therefore the analysis of the assumptions underlying empirical inquiry. Given that these assumptions cannot possibly be examined or even identified on the basis of empirical data, it follows that philosophy is a non-empirical discipline. And given that our linguistic and cultural practices cannot possibly be examined or even identified except on the basis of empirical data, it follows that philosophical questions are not linguistic questions and...

In this book, Kant's ethical system is clearly stated and carefully critiqued. In the process, cogent answers are given to the following questions: *What is the relationship between self-interest and morality? *What is the relationship between morality and rationality? *What is the nature of rationality? *What is the difference between rationality and intelligence?*What is the relationship between awareness of moral norms and awareness of logical norms? A must-read for anyone interested in...

The empirical sciences make assumptions that they are not themselves capable of justifying. Philosophy justifies those assumptions; that is its job.
