Laws
"This is a superb new translation that is remarkably accurate to Plato's very difficult Greek, yet clear and highly readable.The notes are more helpful than those in any other available translation of the Laws since they contain both the information needed by the beginning student as well as analytical notes that include references to the secondary literature for the more advanced reader.For either the beginner or the scholar, this should be the preferred translation."—Christopher Bobonich, Clarence Irving Lewis Professor of Philosophy, Stanford University

Laws of Seeing
The first English translation of a classic work in vision science from 1936 by a leading figure in the Gestalt movement, covering topics that continue to be major issues in vision research today. This classic work in vision science, written by a leading figure in Germany's Gestalt movement in psychology and first published in 1936, addresses topics that remain of major interest to vision researchers today.Wolfgang Metzger's main argument, drawn from Gestalt theory, is that the objects we perceive in visual experience are not the objects themselves but perceptual effigies of those objects constructed by our brain according to natural rules.Gestalt concepts are currently being increasingly integrated into mainstream neuroscience by researchers proposing network processing beyond the classical receptive field.Metzger's discussion of such topics as ambiguous figures, hidden forms, camouflage, shadows and depth, and three-dimensional representations in paintings will interest anyone working in the field of vision and perception, including psychologists, biologists, neurophysiologists, and researchers in computational vision-and artists, designers, and philosophers. Each chapter is accompanied by compelling visual demonstrations of the phenomena described; the book includes 194 illustrations, drawn from visual science, art, and everyday experience, that invite readers to verify Metzger's observations for themselves.Today's researchers may find themselves pondering the intriguing question of what effect Metzger's theories might have had on vision research if Laws of Seeing and its treasure trove of perceptual observations had been available to the English-speaking world at the time of its writing.

Why are cultural norms usually protected by laws?
Cultural norms are often protected by laws because they are considered essential for maintaining social order and harmony within a society. Laws help to codify and enforce these norms, providing a framework for acceptable behavior and consequences for those who violate them. Additionally, protecting cultural norms through laws can help to preserve the identity and values of a community, ensuring that they are respected and upheld. This can also help to prevent discrimination and promote inclusivity within a society.

Are economic laws natural laws and psychological laws?
Economic laws are not natural laws in the same sense as the laws of physics or chemistry, as they are not inherent to the physical world. Instead, economic laws are principles that describe patterns and behaviors in human economic activity. Similarly, psychological laws are not natural laws, but rather principles that describe patterns and behaviors in human psychology. Both economic and psychological laws are based on human behavior and interactions, rather than the physical world, and are subject to change as human behavior and society evolve.

Laws of Physics
Despite its apparent complexity, our world seems to be governed by simple laws of physics.This volume provides a philosophical introduction to such laws.I explain how they are connected to some of the central issues in philosophy, such as ontology, possibility, explanation, induction, counterfactuals, time, determinism, and fundamentality.I suggest that laws are fundamental facts that govern the world by constraining its physical possibilities.I examine three hallmarks of laws-simplicity, exactness, and objectivity-and discuss whether and how they may be associated with laws of physics.

Why are there consent laws and objection laws?
Consent laws are in place to ensure that individuals have the legal capacity to give informed consent to certain activities, such as medical treatment, sexual activity, or contracts. These laws are designed to protect individuals from being coerced or manipulated into situations they do not fully understand or agree to. Objection laws, on the other hand, allow individuals to legally object to certain activities or decisions, such as medical treatment or marriage, based on their personal beliefs or values. These laws are in place to protect individuals' rights to make decisions that align with their own moral or religious convictions. Both consent and objection laws are important for safeguarding individuals' autonomy and rights.
