  1. Ascent Routines for Propositional Attitudes.Robert M. Gordon - 2007 - Synthese 159 (2):151 - 165.
    An ascent routine (AR) allows a speaker to self-ascribe a given propositional attitude (PA) by redeploying the process that generates a corresponding lower level utterance. Thus, we may report on our beliefs about the weather by reporting (under certain constraints) on the weather. The chief criticism of my AR account of self-ascription, by Alvin Goldman and others, is that it covers few if any PA’s other than belief and offers no account of how we can attain reliability in identifying (...)

    The ascent of affect: genealogy and critique.Ruth Leys - 2017 - London: University of Chicago Press.
    In recent years, emotions have become a major, vibrant topic of research not merely in the biological and psychological sciences but throughout a wide swath of the humanities and social sciences as well. Yet, surprisingly, there is still no consensus on their basic nature or workings. Ruth Leys’s brilliant, much anticipated history, therefore, is a story of controversy and disagreement. The Ascent of Affect focuses on the post–World War II period, when interest in emotions as an object of study (...)

    The Ascent to the Anthropological Idea of Freedom: the Age of Antiquity.Владимир Козырьков - 2023 - Philosophical Anthropology 9 (2):103-121.
    The article reveals the process of formation of the anthropological paradigm of the idea of freedom on the materials of ancient culture. The method is dialectics of ascent from the abstract to the concrete. Antique culture produces the first stage of the ascension process, when freedom had a holistic but abstract character. Freedom was defined meaningfully as a qualitative state of man opposite to slavery. The author shows the dialectic nature of this process already at the first stage, when (...)

    The Ascent of Man: A Philosophy of Human Nature.James F. Harris - 2011 - Routledge.
    The Ascent of Man develops a comprehensive theory of human nature. James F. Harris sees human nature as an emergent property that supervenes a cluster of properties. Despite significant overlap between individuals that have human nature and those that are biologically human, the concept of human nature developed in this book is different. Whether biologically human or not, an individual may be said to possess human nature. This theory of human nature is called the"cluster theory." Harris takes as his (...)

    The Ascent from Nominalism: Some Existence Arguments in Plato's Middle Dialogues.Terry Penner - 1987 - Springer Verlag.
    divisibility in Physics VI. I had been assuming at that time that Aristotle's elimination of reference to the infinitely large in his account of the potential inf inite--like the elimination of the infinitely small from nineteenth century accounts of limits and continuity--gave us everything that was important in a theory of the infinite. Hilbert's paper showed me that this was not obviously so. Suddenly other certainties about Aristotle's (apparently) judicious toning down of (supposed) Platonic extremisms began to crumble. The upshot (...)

    Ascent: Philosophy and Paradise Lost.Tzachi Zamir - 2017 - Oup Usa.
    Engaging with heady topics such as knowledge, meaningful agency, vitality, and gratitude, Ascent advances an argument regarding Milton's Paradise Lost and the role of the imagination in religion. Miltonists are offered not a contextualization of Milton's views relative to his contemporaries or predecessors, but rather an attempt to bring him into conversation with pressing topics of contemporary philosophy.

  11. Descent and Ascent from Ockham to Domingo de Soto: An Answer to Paul Spade.E. Jennifer Ashworth - 2013 - Vivarium 51 (1-4):385-410.
    Paul Spade has attacked the theory of the modes of personal supposition as found in Ockham and Buridan, partly on the grounds that the details of the theory are incompatible with the equivalence between propositions and their descended forms which is implied by the appeal to suppositional descent and ascent. I trace the development of the doctrines of ascent and descent from the mid-fourteenth century to the early sixteenth century, and I investigate Domingo de Soto’s elaborate account of (...)

  12. The Ascent as a Return to the Cave.Jade Principe - 2006 - Rhizai. A Journal for Ancient Philosophy and Science 2:219-239.
    In this paper, two Platonic texts are placed side by side – namely, the ascent passage from the Symposium and the Sun, Line and Cave analogies from the Republic – in order to dispel the notion that Plato recommends a highly intellectual pursuit of Ideas. We take here the often-neglected aspect of the cave analogy, which speaks of ethical involvement described in terms of descent, and use this to reinterpret the ladder of love. We find that it is not (...)

    The Parmenidean Ascent.Michael Della Rocca - 2020 - New York, NY, United States of America: Oup Usa.
    The Parmenidean Ascent is a full-throated and wide-ranging defense of an extreme form of monism or the denial of all distinctions, a form of monism rarely seen since the time of the pre-Socratic philosopher, Parmenides. At once historically sensitive and deeply engaged with trends in recent and contemporary metaphysics, philosophy of action, epistemology, and philosophy of language, The Parmenidean Ascent aims, on rationalist grounds and in a skeptical spirit, to challenge the content of-and to overturn the methods of (...)

  21. (1 other version)Ascent and descent: The philosopher's regret.Allan Silverman - 2007 - Social Philosophy and Policy 24 (2):40-69.
    The aim of this long essay is to explain why the philosopher-ruler of Plato's Republic descends “with regret” or having been “compelled” from his contemplation of the Forms to rule the state. It offers a new, optimistic interpretation of his goal in so descending, namely to try to make everyone into a philosopher. After a brief introductory section, I turn to the argument of the Republic to show both that the philosopher's understanding of the Good causes him to try to (...)

    Ascent to “Natural Humanness”: Immanuel Kant in the Philosophical Anthropology of Gustav Shpet.Tatiana G. Shchedrina & Boris I. Pruzhinin - 2024 - Kantian Journal 43 (3):104-121.
    The archive of Gustav Shpet contains scattered preparatory materials for his works. Some of these handwritten rough drafts are devoted to Immanuel Kant. These jottings enable us to take a new look at possible trajectories of philosophical anthropology. The main goal of this article is to show, on the one hand, the modern relevance of Kant’s reflections on the essence of the human being and, on the other hand, the productiveness of their critical reinterpretation by Shpet. In effect, Kant’s reflections (...)

    Erotic Ascent.Stanley Rosen - 1994 - Graduate Faculty Philosophy Journal 17 (1-2):37-57.
    What follows is a self-contained excerpt from a work in progress, namely, a reconsideration of the Platonic doctrine of Eros, together with a commentary on the non-erotic paradigm of the philosopher to be found in the Theaetetus and Phaedo. My intention is to arrive at a comprehensive understanding of the Platonic view of the philosophical life on the one hand and of the relation binding the so-called Ideas of beauty and the good with truth on the other.

    Contextualism and Semantic Ascent.Michael Veber - 2004 - Southern Journal of Philosophy 42 (2):261-272.
    Some object that contextualism makes knowledge elusive in the sense that it comes and goes as the standards for knowledge change. Contextualists have attempted to handle this objection by semantic ascent. Some of the recent refinements that contextualism has undergone create serious problems for this move. Either it makes contextualism unassertible or it makes refuting the skeptic too easy.

    The judgment competent reasoners exhibit in deciding when reasoning should not be used to resolve disagreements is eroded by adopting the popular strategy of ascending to higher levels of generality. That strategy encourages disputants to believeoften incorrectly-that they stand on some common ground that can be exploited to reach agreement. But if we regularly assume that we share values and interests with our opponents in seemingly intractable disputes, we risk losing the ability to judge whether or not we share enough. (...)

    A Trinitarian Ascent: How Augustine’s Sermons on the Psalms of Ascent Transform the Ascent Tradition.Mark J. Boone - 2024 - Religions 15 (5).
    Augustine’s sermons on the Psalms of Ascent, part of the Enarrationes in Psalmos, are a unique entry in the venerable tradition of those writings that aim to help us ascend to a higher reality. These sermons transform the ascent genre by giving, in the place of the Platonic account of ascent, a Christian ascent narrative with a Trinitarian structure. Not just the individual ascends, but the community that is the church, the body of Christ, also ascends. (...)
