Book Synopsis Le réalisme à visage humain by : Hilary Putnam
Download or read book Le réalisme à visage humain written by Hilary Putnam and published by Editions Gallimard. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hilary Putnam défend la thèse suivante : les critères de réalité évoluent, il n’y a pas de relation unique entre le mot et la chose désignée, le concept dépend de notre environnement physique et social, des choses n’ont de propriétés communes que dans une description singulière du monde. Ainsi, l’atome a-t-il jamais représenté la même réalité pour Démocrite et pour Niels Bohr ? Il faut, pour suivre Hilary Putnam, renoncer au présupposé que le réel est « sous » ou « derrière » les apparences, que l’Un est dans le Multiple, que tout phénomène a une nature ultime. Il n’est de vérité, c’est-à-dire d’identité des significations, qu’interprétative, de réalité que contextuelle. On retrouve ce combat dans cet ouvrage qui s’attache à définir les buts et les enjeux de la philosophie. Convaincu que la nature et le statut des « valeurs » s’enracinent dans la métaphysique, il consacre à celle-ci la première partie de l’ouvrage. Plus précisément, c’est au Réalisme qu’il s’attaque, à cette doctrine-clé de notre image scientifique du monde qui pose l’Être comme indépendant de la connaissance qu’on en prend. Contestant les dichotomies qui en découlent (entre concept et objet, fait et convention, etc.), affirmant la nécessité de lier vérité et justification, Putnam développe alors les incidences éthiques et esthétiques de ces positons théoriques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hilary Putnam, who turned 88 in 2014, is one of the world’s greatest living philosophers. He currently holds the position of Cogan University Professor Emeritus of Harvard. He has been called “one of the 20th century’s true philosophic giants” (by Malcolm Thorndike Nicholson in Prospect magazine in 2013). He has been very influential in several different areas of philosophy: philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of science. This volume in the prestigious Library of Living Philosophers series contains 26 chapters original to this work, each written by a well-known philosopher, including the late Richard Rorty and the late Michael Dummett. The volume also includes Putnam’s reply to each of the 26 critical and descriptive essays, which cover the broad range of Putnam’s thought. They are organized thematically into the following parts: Philosophy and Mathematics, Logic and Language, Knowing and Being, Philosophy of Practice, and Elements of Pragmatism. Readers will also appreciate the extensive Intellectual Autobiography.
Book Synopsis Cross-linguistic and Cross-cultural Perspectives on Academic Discourse by : Eija Suomela-Salmi
Download or read book Cross-linguistic and Cross-cultural Perspectives on Academic Discourse written by Eija Suomela-Salmi and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this volume is to examine academic discourse (AD) from cross-linguistic and cross-cultural perspectives. The adjective "Cross-cultural" in the volume title is not just limited to national contexts but also includes a cross-disciplinary perspective. Twelve scientific fields are under scrutiny in the articles. One of the unique aspects of the volume is the inclusion of a variety of foreign languages (English (as a lingua franca), Spanish, French, Swedish, Russian, German, Italian, and Norwegian). Besides, in several articles dealing with oral AD, comparisons and parallels are also established with written AD. The research methodologies used in the studies are varied and they offer an overview of the diversity and richness of approaches to AD. All in all, it is hoped that the volume appeals not only to young researchers but also to confirmed scholars interested in cross-linguistic and cross-cultural aspects of AD. It will also be of interest to language teachers or teachers who are involved with e.g. international students and academic mobility.
Book Synopsis Dispositions and Causal Powers by : Bruno Gnassounou
Download or read book Dispositions and Causal Powers written by Bruno Gnassounou and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dispositions are everywhere. We say that a wall is hard, that water quenches thirst and is transparent, that dogs can swim and oak trees can let their leaves fall, and that acid has the power to corrode metals. All these statements express attributions of dispositions, be they physical, physiological or psychological, yet there is much philosophical debate about how far, if at all, dispositional predicates can have complete meaning or figure in causal explanations. This collection of essays, by leading international researchers, examine the case for realism with respect to dispositions and causal powers in both metaphysics and science. Among the issues debated in this book is whether dispositions can be analyzed in terms of conditionals, whether all dispositions have a so-called categorical basis and, if they do, what is the relation between the disposition and its basis.

Book Synopsis The Pragmatists and the Human Logic of Truth by : Claudine Tiercelin
Download or read book The Pragmatists and the Human Logic of Truth written by Claudine Tiercelin and published by Collège de France. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expression “human logic of truth” is Frank P. Ramsey’s:“Let us therefore try to get an idea of a human logic which shall not attempt to be reducible to formal logic. Logic, we may agree, is concerned not with what men actually believe, but what they ought to believe, or what it would be reasonable to believe. What then, we must ask, is meant by saying that it is reasonable for a man to have such and such a degree of belief in a proposition?” Many themes developed by Ramsey in his work (on belief, truth, knowledge, but also in ethics)manifest the outstanding inspiration of the founder of pragmatism, C. S. Peirce, who is explicitly referred to in several places. Fundamentally, Peirce’s conception of truth is such that he who searches it may be able and forced to adopt it. The human logic of truth he defends goes hand in hand with the view that “real pragmatic truth is truth as can and ought to be used as a guide for conduct”. While the views of other major pragmatists (William James, John Dewey, and Hilary Putnam) are also carefully analyzed and contrasted, Peirce’s conception is shown to present at least three advantages: “to provide the rational framework for inquiry to proceed” (it is genuinely “logical”), to “make sense of the practice of inquiry as the search for truth”, as something which is not transcendent, beyond inquiry, but accessible (it is genuinely “human”), and finally “to justify a methodology” by encouraging the inquirer to put his beliefs to the test of experience.
