Introduction to Philosophy: Aesthetic Theory and Practice
This book is part of the Introduction to Philosophy open textbook series, a set of nine (and
counting?) open access textbooks that are designed to be used for introductory-level, survey
courses in philosophy at the post-secondary level.
OVERVIEW OF THE SERIES
This set of books is meant to provide an introduction to some of the major topic areas often
covered in introductory-level philosophy courses. I have found in teaching students new to
philosophy that many struggle with the new ideas, questions, and approaches they find in
introductory courses in philosophy, and that it can be helpful to provide them with texts that
explain these in relatively straightforward terms.
When I began this project there were few textbooks that I was happy enough with to ask
students to purchase, and even fewer openly licensed textbooks that I could pick and choose
chapters from, or revise, to suit my courses. This series was created out of a desire to provide
such resources that can be customised to fit different contexts and updated by instructors
when needed (rather than waiting for an updated version from a publisher).

Introduction to Philosophy: Ethics
Each book can be read online, and is also downloadable in multiple formats, from their respective book home pages (e.g., Introduction to Philosophy: Ethics).
• The .odt format can be opened by Open Office, Libre Office, or Microsoft Word. Note that there may be some issues with formatting on this format, and hyperlinks may not appear if opened with MS Word.
• The PDF files can be edited with Adobe Acrobat (the full program, not just the Reader) or printed out. The print version of the PDF does not have hyperlinks.
• The EPUB and MOBI files can be loaded onto digital reading platforms like Adobe Digital Editions, Apple Books, and Kindle. They can also be edited using Pressbooks or tools like Calibre.
• Edits can be made using the XHTML format or via the Pressbooks XML format (for easier adaptation in Pressbooks). The book is also available for download as a Common Cartridge 1.1 file (with web links) for import into your learning management system (see instructions for importing Common Cartridge files, from the Pressbooks User Guide).

Introduction to Philosophy: Logic
This book is part of the Introduction to Philosophy open textbook series, a set of nine (and counting?) open access textbooks that are designed to be used for introductory-level, survey courses in philosophy at the post-secondary level.
This book started as one part of what had originally been conceived as a larger textbook for introduction to philosophy courses, with many different topics; each of those original topics has now become its own book in a larger series, which can be mixed and matched in the ways most useful for particular contexts. The Logic book is best suited to a broader introductory course that includes a a discussion of some of the fundamentals of argumentation and logic; it does not have enough for a full course in formal or informal logic.

Introduction to Philosophy: Philosophy of Mind
There are two major views in the philosophy of mind that arise from trying to describe the nature of our minds. One claims that our minds are different in nature and separate from our bodies and the other claims that our minds really are just physical, or a part of our bodies and the rest of the purely physical world. These mark the two extremes. The first is called “substance dualism” or “Cartesian dualism” after René Descartes, who originated the primary arguments and the general view. The other is called “physicalism” and was in the modern era associated most with Thomas Hobbes. Both philosophers were trying to make sense of the mind within the modern context of science within the latter part of the seventeenth century. Philosophy of mind was not yet a separate discipline and fell under metaphysics as these philosophers studied it, but this time period, called the modern period, marks the beginning of what we consider now to be investigations into the philosophy of mind. It was a period of great scientific advancement and marked the beginning of the discipline of psychology, as well.

Making Sense of Digital Humanities: Transformations and Interventions in Technocultures
Given the complexity of defining Digital Humanities, it may seem like an ambitious project. Yet, this book is born of a particular set of conversations about what we, as faculty members interested in Digital Humanities, would like students to have in a resource to help them explore. Our experience as teacher-scholars engaged with DH in and out of the classroom affords us some sense of the importance of the many works classified as digital humanities, but also the ways discussions so central to our colleagues may be difficult for students to grasp fully. This textbook has two purposes: First, it will bring together materials necessary for undergraduates to explore ethical ramifications, equity issues, and cultural or historical contexts of digital technologies and how this knowledge can shape real world decisions. Second, this reader will serve as an essential resource for the faculty teaching courses about these questions. It will be a living archive of evolving ideas connected to technology and cultural discussion supported by teaching and research activities.

Modern Philosophy: This work is based on the work of Walter Ott & Alex Dunn
This book combines readings from primary sources with two pedagogical tools. Paragraphs in italics introduce figures and texts, or draw connections among the readings. Numbered study questions sometimes ask you to reconstruct an argument from the text, using numbered premises. Some of the premises or the conclusion are usually given. You might need more or fewer lines to state the argument; you might also choose to start your reconstruction with different premises than those provided.
Only excerpts of the major works are included. Descartes’s Meditations, Hume’s Enquiry and Kant’s Prolegomena are largely unabridged. Minor stylistic changes have been made to the original texts; in particular, many more paragraph breaks have been added.
The introductory chapter, (Minilogic and Glossary), is designed to introduce the basic tools of philosophy and sketch some basic principles and positions.

What is Authorial Philology?
This book aims to provide the first synthetic overview of this
discipline, charted through its history (see Chapter 1), which has not
yet been systematically investigated so far, through the methods (see Chapter 2) used in daily philological work, and above all through
concrete examples set out in chronological order (see Chapter 3). We will
examine the problem of authorial variants in critical editions of some
of the most important works of Italian literature, from the fourteenth
to the twentieth century, from Petrarch’s Codice degli abbozzi to the Rime
d’amore by Torquato Tasso, from Giacomo Leopardi’s Canti to Alessandro
Manzoni’s Fermo e Lucia, and onto Carlo Emilio Gadda’s novels and
short stories.
