Book Synopsis The Themes of Quine's Philosophy by : Edward Becker
Download or read book The Themes of Quine's Philosophy written by Edward Becker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-28 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Willard Van Orman Quine's work revolutionized the fields of epistemology, semantics and ontology. At the heart of his philosophy are several interconnected doctrines: his rejection of conventionalism and of the linguistic doctrine of logical and mathematical truth, his rejection of the analytic/synthetic distinction, his thesis of the indeterminacy of translation and his thesis of the inscrutability of reference. In this book Edward Becker sets out to interpret and explain these doctrines. He offers detailed analyses of the relevant texts, discusses Quine's views on meaning, reference and knowledge, and shows how Quine's views developed over the years. He also proposes a new version of the linguistic doctrine of logical truth, and a new way of rehabilitating analyticity. His rich exploration of Quine's thought will interest all those seeking to understand and evaluate the work of one of the most important philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis Quintessence by : Willard Van Orman Quine
Download or read book Quintessence written by Willard Van Orman Quine and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the first half of the twentieth century, analytic philosophy was dominated by Russell, Wittgenstein, and Carnap. Influenced by Russell and especially by Carnap, another towering figure, Willard Van Orman Quine (1908Ð2000) emerged as the most important proponent of analytic philosophy during the second half of the century. Yet with twenty-three books and countless articles to his creditÑincluding, most famously, Word and Object and "Two Dogmas of Empiricism"ÑQuine remained a philosopher's philosopher, largely unknown to the general public. Quintessence for the first time collects Quine's classic essays (such as "Two Dogmas" and "On What There Is") in one volumeÑand thus offers readers a much-needed introduction to his general philosophy. Divided into six parts, the thirty-five selections take up analyticity and reductionism; the indeterminacy of translation of theoretical sentences and the inscrutability of reference; ontology; naturalized epistemology; philosophy of mind; and extensionalism. Representative of Quine at his best, these readings are fundamental not only to an appreciation of the philosopher and his work, but also to an understanding of the philosophical tradition that he so materially advanced.

Book Synopsis Wilfrid Sellars: Fusing the Images by : Jay F. Rosenberg
Download or read book Wilfrid Sellars: Fusing the Images written by Jay F. Rosenberg and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-09-13 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilfrid Sellars was and remains one of the most prominent and important twentieth-century philosophers: his writings played a key role in shaping the philosophical agenda in the English-speaking world during the second half of the 20th century, and they remain an active focus of intense critical attention and lively discussion. Jay Rosenberg studied under Sellars in the early 1960s, was continuously engaged with his work for over forty years, and was widely regarded both as its foremost expositor and as one of Sellars' truest disciples. This was the last book that Rosenberg completed before his death at the age of only sixty-five. In it he gathers previously published studies of the central elements and implications of Sellars' philosophy, along with three new essays that further highlight and articulate the significance of his work, both historically and with respect to contemporary debates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: summary of THREE DOGMAS in MODERN PHILOSOPHY We call the principles of Subjectivism, Holism, and Descriptionalism, as the “three dogmas of modern philosophy”. We can see a complete structure of these dogmas in the “Wisdom-Library Theory”. It is an ideal kind of library that preserves, accumulates and evolves all the wisdom of mankind within the general form of language. However, first, even such a super-subject as the “Wisdom-Library” cannot exempt from the self-righteousness problem of the subject. Intending the whole consistency, it falls rather deeper into the problem. Second, there is much silence-wisdom that is never talked out, but supporting our daily lives, although such “Wisdom-Library” is not able to deal with it. Third, individual persons maintain the “Wisdom-Library” so partially that its whole consistency and direct development are never guaranteed. However, a ‘description’ does not depend on the correspondence with the reference, but on the same reaction of the listeners as the reference so that we are able to accept it sufficiently as a speech-act to change the action of the listeners as well as the described reference itself. Also, although the illusion as if there were the ‘whole’ wisdom somewhere should be denied indeed, yet we need to consider it moderately to understand the possibility of the (mis)understanding of the listeners. Furthermore, a ‘subject’ is not able to be the ground of all things, nevertheless, it is the status of the narrator as the owner of the authority and responsibility of the speech-act. And who judges an object is judged oneself about the personality of the judge-act. Then, trying to be judged ourselves by the whole world, we are able to show the whole world as a mirror inversely. summary of JUSTICE as FOLLY Reviving the “Methodical Contract Theory”, Rawls conceptualized ‘justice’ with “the ‘Fairness Principle”. It is valuable as a lodestar to solve our problem of the present age, namely the compatibility of contradicting liberty and equality. However, we cannot actually derive ‘justice’ from it because we have also the liberty not to comply it. Therefore, Rawls says that we need sanctions and compulsions against an ‘egoist’. However, if we do something under menace, is it able to be ‘justice’? Contrarily, if someone is not an ‘egoist’, namely if he/she does a ‘justice’, ignoring his/her own interest, then it is rather unnatural and irrational folly. There is “the Courage Principle” here that makes us true social-comrades. For this “Practical Contract”, people have to gamble themselves. Nevertheless, we do it because ‘justice’ is necessary for our own happiness.

Book Synopsis Essays on Love and Knowledge by : Pierre Rousselot
Download or read book Essays on Love and Knowledge written by Pierre Rousselot and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the third of Pierre Rousselot's Philosophical Works. It includes seven essays written between 1908 and 1914, one year before his death (two were published posthumously: A Theory of Concepts by Functional Unity and Idealism and Thomism). These essays offer a complement to Rousselot's views on epistemology, which he presented in Intelligence and constitute the core of his Neo-thomistic philosophy. However, besides making his views more clear and specific, these essays also go further than what we had in Intelligence. It is an effort to offer a systematic view on knowledge as the fusion of the knower and the known. These views go significantly beyond St Thomas' doctrine and some of them are rather daring, like Rousselot's notion of an Angel-humanity. The common thread of these essays is the role of love in knowledge. Rousselot's expands St. Thomas' view on knowledge on the mode of nature (per modum naturae) or connaturality and understands love both as an attitude of the knower, who must be in a certain disposition toward the object, and a characterization of the relationship between knower and known. From the introduction by Pol Vandevelde.
