The central theme in modern philosophy - from Hume, Kant and Hegel, to today - can be understood as a reaction to the perceived threat of disorder. Argues for a metaphysics of disorder, and outlines a number of important philosophical consequences. When appropriately constrained by empiricism, such a metaphysics allows us to make sense of ourselves as knowers who must make do in a world of complexity and uncertainty. We cope by learning to export knowledge to situations where knowledge eludes us. An account of causal and idealizational reasoning in science - similar with recent work by Nancy Cartwright - is developed to exemplify the main argument. The author's philosophical position is contrasted with that of recent postmodernists, notably Richard Rorty. ISBN: 1859725384. Our Book No: 13417. $50 AUD.

London: Earthscan Publications. 185 pp. Hardback, pictorial cover, as new condition. Explores how uncertainty is interpreted and used by policy makers, experts and politicians. It argues that conventional notions of rational, evidence-based policy making - hailed by governments and organisations across the world as the only way to make good policy - is an impossible aim in highly complex and uncertain environments. The blind pursuit of such a rational goal is in fact irrational in a world of competing values and interests. Based on two high-profile case studies: the Iraq War, and climate change policy in the US, UK and Australia. Based on three years' research - including interviews with experts such as Hans Blix, Paul Pillar and Brian Jones - both case studies show that treatment of uncertainty issues in specialist advice is often determined by how well the advice fits with or contradicts the policy goals and orientation of the politicians. One should not allow the debate to be side-tracked by arguments over whose expert advice is 'more right'. We must accept that uncertainty in complex issues is unavoidable, and recognise the values and interests that lie at the heart of the issues. Offers a hedging approach; this enables policy makers to manage rather than eliminate uncertainty. ISBN: 9781849710831. Our Book No: 14256. $58 AUD.
