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...

In this book, Kant's ethical system is clearly stated and carefully critiqued.

A must-read for anyone interested in...

It is explained why men and women see infidelity differently.

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...

Discussions of psychopathy, psychopathology, bureaucracy, etc.

These essays concern the different kinds of causation and their respective explanatory functions. Each of the following topics is discussed, in a clear and precise manner:*The relationship between causation and prediction*The relationship between causation and explanation*The relationship between prediction and explanation*The nature of counterfactual truth*The relationship between counterfactual conditionals and the corresponding past-tense indicati...

In this dialogue, it is made clear what analytic truth is, why such truths exist, and what their role is in the acquisition of knowledge.
