This book was released on 2010-11-01T00:00:00-04:00 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce traité d'épistémologie comparée offre une étude des développements les plus marquants qui ont précédé et qui ont suivi l'émergence du Cercle de Vienne. Le premier volume présente la tradition des « savants-philosophes ». Vers la seconde moitié du XXe siècle s'amorce une profonde réflexion épistémologique chez des scientifiques de pointe tels Hermann von Helmholtz, Heinrich Hertz, Ernst Mach, Ludwig Boltzmann et, du côté des Français, Pierre Duhem et Henri Poincaré. L'avènement de la « nouvelle logique » et, surtout, l'essor des investigations axiomatiques formelles promulguées par David Hilbert menèrent le Cercle de Vienne à prendre fait et cause pour l'autonomie de la méthode logique par rapport aux approches antérieures qui avaient partie liée avec la méthode historique ou encore le psychologisme. Le second volume scrute le volet sémantique de la conception empiriste logique venue à maturité aux mains de Rudolf Carnap et de Carl Hempel dans les années 1948-1958. Suit alors une étude comparative critique des conceptions les plus connues qui se sont développées en réaction à l'empirisme logique ou en retrait de ce dernier : celles, dès les années 1930, de Karl Popper et de Gaston Bachelard ; puis, au début des années 1960, celles de Thomas Kuhn, d'Imre Lakatos et de Paul Feyerabend. La principale critique que l'auteur adresse à l'empirisme logique ne provient cependant pas de ces sources ; elle porte plutôt sur l'incapacité, chez les tenants de l'approche logique, à élaborer le constructivisme mathématique que leur projet nécessitait. Ce travail sur la philosophie des sciences comparée n'a pas d'équivalent dans le monde francophone et ailleurs.

Download or read book D couverte et justification en science written by Michel Meyer and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment procede la science ? Comment se constitue-t-elle et comment progresse-t-elle ? Telles sont les questions fondamentales que traite l'auteur dans cet ouvrage qui est original tant par ses aspects historiques que par ses analyses thematiques. Pour la premiere fois dans les pays de langue francaise, l'interpretation neo-positiviste de la science est etudiee en detail au travers de ses representants contemporains : Carnap, Hempel, Popper. L'auteur remonte aux racines kantiennes du neo-positivisme. En se situant au-dela du logicisme reducteur et du psychologisme irrationaliste, Decouverte et justification en science s'attache a mettre en evidence l'activite questionnante du processus de recherche scientifique, et a demontrer le mecanisme logique qui engendre les decouvertes. A cote de la logique traditionnelle qui est celle de la justification, il existe une autre logique, irreductible au calcul mathematique, qui est la metaphorisation. Celle-ci, en tant qu'elle est la demarche de tout esprit createur de resultats, se differencie des processus de recherche tels qu'ils ont ete analyses jusqu'ici : les conceptions de Popper et de Kuhn, ainsi que la theorie de l'induction de Hume, de l'abduction de Peirce, de la retroduction de Hanson, sans oublier l'associationnisme et l'intuitionnisme chers aux psychologistes, font l'objet d'un examen approfondi. L'auteur envisage egalement le langage de la science en termes de questionnement. Le savant, comme tout locuteur, parle de ce qui fait question pour lui, meme si le probleme pose dont il est question dans son discours demeure implicite a titre de presuppose. Les theories de Frege, de Russell et de Wittgenstein sur la formalisation des langages se trouvent integrees dans une vision unitaire de l'activite discursive, pour laquelle le contexte d'interrogation et de reponse situe toute intelligibilite possible.
Download or read book Empirisme et philosophie de l esprit written by Wilfrid Sellars and published by éditions de l’éclat. This book was released on 1992 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Quiconque voudrait entreprendre l'histoire du déplacement qui eut lieu au sein de la philosophie analytique, depuis son commencement, aux alentours de 1950, jusqu'à son achèvement, dans les années 1970, aurait à mettre l'accent sur trois ouvrages fondamentaux : l'article " Two Dogmas of Empiricism " de W. Quine (195 1), les Investigations philosophiques de Wittgenstein (1954), et Empirisme et philosophie de l'esprit de Wilfrid Sellars (1956). De ces trois œuvres, le long essai de Sellars, riche et intriqué, demeure le moins connu et le moins discuté. Les historiens de la philosophie anglo-américaine récente ont souligné l'importance de l'essai de Quine, qui mettait en question la notion de " vérité analytique ". Ils ont également souligné l'importance de l'œuvre du dernier Wittgenstein. [... ] Empirisme et philosophie de l'esprit a contribué à produire ce que Donald Davidson appelle "une rupture si profonde dans la pensée philosophique contemporaine que nous pourrions bien ne pas nous en apercevoir" ".

Book excerpt: DANS LE POSITIVISME LOGIQUE, TOUTE LA DEMARCHE DE LA SCIENCE MODERNE CONSTITUE LE PARADIGME SUR LEQUEL LA PHILOSOPHIE DOIT SE REGLER, DEPUIS GALILEE JUSQU'A EINSTEIN. CETTE CONCEPTION DE LA SCIENCE COMME PARADIGME DE LA PHILOSOPHIE NE TIENT EN AUCUN CAS COMPTE DE LA MANIERE DONT LES THEORIES ONT ETE PRODUITES. CE QUI IMPORTE POUR L'EMPIRISME LOGIQUE C'EST L'ENTREPRISE DE RECONSTRUCTION QUI S'EFFECTUE AU SEIN DE LA SCIENCE OBJECTIVE. EN EFFET, A L'INTERIEUR DE LA SCIENCE, IL Y A UNE PLACE IMPORTANTE POUR LA CLARIFICATION DES CONCEPTS. IL S'AGIT LA D'UN TRAVAIL PHILOSOPHIQUE EFFECTUE PAR LA SCIENCE ELLE-MEME. LA PHILOSOPHIE INTERVIENT POUR FAIRE CE TRAVAIL DE RECONSTRUCTION RATIONNEL DE L'EXTERIEUR. PAR CONSEQUENT, L'EMPIRISME LOGIQUE NE S'INTERESSE PAS A LA SCIENCE EN TANT QUE PHENOMENE HISTORIQUE. SEUL LE CONTEXTE DE JUSTIFICATION RELEVE DE LA PHILOSOPHIE DES SCIENCES, ENVISAGEE COMME LOGIQUE DES SCIENCES. LE CONTEXTE DE DECOUVERTE CONCERNE LA SOCIOLOGIE DES SCIENCES ET LA PSYCHOLOGIE.
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Logical Empiricism written by Thomas Uebel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-27 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logical empiricism is a philosophical movement that flourished in the 1920s and 30s in Central Europe and in the 1940s and 50s in the United States. With its stated ambition to comprehend the revolutionary advances in the empirical and formal sciences of their day and to confront anti-modernist challenges to scientific reason itself, logical empiricism was never uncontroversial. Uniting key thinkers who often disagreed with one another but shared the aim to conceive of philosophy as part of the scientific enterprise, it left a rich and varied legacy that has only begun to be explored relatively recently. The Routledge Handbook of Logical Empiricism is an outstanding reference source to this challenging subject area, and the first collection of its kind. Comprising 41 chapters written by an international and interdisciplinary team of contributors, the Handbook is organized into four clear parts: The Cultural, Scientific and Philosophical Context and the Development of Logical Empiricism Characteristic Theses of and Specific Issues in Logical Empiricism Relations to Philosophical Contemporaries Leading Post-Positivist Criticisms and Legacy Essential reading for students and researchers in the history of twentieth-century philosophy, especially the history of analytical philosophy and the history of philosophy of science, the Handbook will also be of interest to those working in related areas of philosophy influenced by this important movement, including metaphysics and epistemology, philosophy of mind and philosophy of language.
Download or read book C I Lewis written by Quentin Kammer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection explores the philosophy of Clarence Irving Lewis through two major concepts that are integral to his conceptual pragmatism: the a priori and the given. The relation between these two elements of knowledge forms the core of Lewis’s masterpiece Mind and the World Order . While Lewis’s conceptual pragmatism is directed against any conception of the a priori as constraining the mind and experience, it also emphasizes the inalterability and the unavoidability of the given that remains the same through any interpretation of it by the mind. The chapters in this book probe Lewis’s new account of the relation between the a priori and the given in dialogue with other notable figures in twentieth-century philosophy, including Goodman, Putnam, Quine, Russell, Sellars, and Sheffer. C.I. Lewis: The A Priori and the Given represents a focused treatment of a longneglected figure in twentieth-century American philosophy.

Download or read book Thomas Kuhn s Linguistic Turn and the Legacy of Logical Empiricism written by Stefano Gattei and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a critical history of the philosophy of science in the twentieth century, focusing on the transition from logical positivism in its first half to the "new philosophy of science" in its second, Stefano Gattei examines the influence of several key figures, but the main focus of the book are Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper. Kuhn as the central figure of the new philosophy of science, and Popper as a key philosopher of the time who stands outside both traditions. Gattei makes two important claims about the development of the philosophy of science in the twentieth century; that Kuhn is much closer to positivism than many have supposed, failing to solve the crisis of neopostivism, and that Popper, in responding to the deeper crisis of foundationalism that spans the whole of the Western philosophical tradition, ultimately shows what is untenable in Kuhn's view. Gattei has written a very detailed and fine grained, yet accessible discussion making exceptionally interesting use of archive materials.
Download or read book Origins of Logical Empiricism written by Ronald N. Giere and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logical empiricism remains a strong influence in the philosophy of science, despite the discipline's shift toward more historical and naturalistic approaches. This latest volume in the eminent Minnesota Studies in the Philosophy of Science series examines the main features of the intellectual milieu from which logical empiricism sprang, providing the first critical exploration of this context by authors within the Anglo-American analytic tradition of philosophy. These articles challenge the idea that logical empiricism has its origins in traditional British empiricism, pointing instead to a movement of scientific philosophy that flourished in the German-speaking areas of Europe in the first four decades of the twentieth century. The intellectual refugees from the Third Reich who brought logical empiricism to North America did so in an environment influenced by Einstein's new physics, the ascension of modern logic, the birth of the social sciences as rivals to traditional humanistic philosophy, and other large-scale social, political, and cultural themes.
Download or read book Les origines fran aises de la philosophie des sciences written by Anastasios Brenner and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 2003 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quelle conception de la science proposer aujourd'hui ? Les grandes doctrines du XXe siècle se sont heurtées successivement à des difficultés, que ce soit le positivisme du Cercle de Vienne ou le rationalisme critique de Popper. Même la perspective historique inspirée par Bachelard et par Kuhn a donné lieu à des versions disparates. Pourtant, toutes ces tentatives partent d'un même constat : l'échec de la vision classique de la science et la nécessité d'un nouveau discours. On peut en retracer l'histoire. Face à la pluralité des hypothèses possibles au sujet de l'espace, du temps et de la matière, Poincaré pose l'existence de conventions, ou mieux de libres décisions, au cœur de la science. Ainsi, dès la fin du XIXe siècle, il coupe court aux projets traditionnels de fondation : ni le synthétique a priori de Kant, ni les faits généraux de Comte ne sauraient expliquer la nature de l'activité scientifique. C'est la naissance d'un mouvement d'idées, le conventionnalisme, quia eu un impact décisif sur la philosophie viennoise et, à travers elle, sur la philosophie mondiale. Voilà un fil conducteur pour évaluer un siècle de débats. Que signifie donc libre décision en matière scientifique ? On affirme la dimension historique irréductible de notre savoir ; on reconnaît la créativité et la responsabilité inhérentes à la science en tant qu'aventure humaine.
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Logical Empiricism written by Alan Richardson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-03 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If there is a movement or school that epitomizes analytic philosophy in the middle of the twentieth century, it is logical empiricism. Logical empiricists created a scientifically and technically informed philosophy of science, established mathematical logic as a topic in and tool for philosophy, and initiated the project of formal semantics. Accounts of analytic philosophy written in the middle of the twentieth century gave logical empiricism a central place in the project. The second wave of interpretative accounts was constructed to show how philosophy should progress, or had progressed, beyond logical empiricism. The essays survey the formative stages of logical empiricism in central Europe and its acculturation in North America, discussing its main topics, and achievements and failures, in different areas of philosophy of science, and assessing its influence on philosophy, past, present, and future.
Download or read book Empiricism and Sociology written by M. Neurath and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the last day of his life, Otto Neurath had given help to a Chinese philosopher who was writing about Schlick. Only an hour before his death he said to me: "Nobody will do such a thing for me." My answer then was: "Never mind, you have Bilston, isn't that better?" There were con sultations in new housing schemes, an exhibition, and hopes for a fruitful relationship of longer duration. I did not dream at that time that I would one day work on a book like this. The idea came from Horace M. Kallen, of the New School for Social Research, New York, years later; to encourage me he sent me his selection from William James' writings. Later I met Robert S. Cohen. Carnap had sent him to me with the message: "If you want to find out what my political views were in the twenties and thirties, read Otto Neurath's books and articles of that time; his views were also mine." In this way Robert Cohen became ac quainted with Otto Neurath. Even more: he became interested; and when I asked him, would he help me as an editor of an Otto N eurath volume, he agreed at once. In previous years I had already asked a number of Otto Neurath's friends to write down for me what they especially remembered about him.
