Book excerpt: La logique des Stoiciens, longtemps meprisee, a fait l'objet, depuis un demi-siecle, d'une rehabilitation spectaculaire, rendue possible par les developpements de la logique moderne, et realisee principalement par des logiciens. Ceux-ci ont etudie isolement les questions de leur competence, et se sont generalement peu soucies de se souvenir que leurs collegues du Portique etaient aussi des Stoiciens, c'est-a-dire des physiciens, des moralistes, a la fois solidaires de leur temps et preoccupes de systematicite. L'unilateralite de ce point de vue a souvent ete soulignee par les chercheurs de formation classique. Mais ceux-ci, rebutes par l'appareil de la logique symbolique, paraissaient hesiter sur la meilleure maniere d'integrer a leurs propres travaux les perspectives ouvertes par les logiciens. Le colloque de Chantilly, qui reunissait en 1976 quelques specialistes francais et etrangers, s'etait efforce de depasser cette situation en faisant le point sur les relations qui unissent la logique stoicienne et le systeme stoicien dans son ensemble. Il ne pouvait etre question de reproduire a l'identique la premiere edition de 1978, et l'on ne pouvait evidemment pas non plus tout refaire de fond en comble; pourtant cette reedition peut se presenter comme revue, corrigee et mise a jour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pendant cinq siecles, de 300 av. J.C. jusqu'au crepuscule de Marc Aurele, la philosophie stoicienne domina la culture antique. Encore aujourd'hui, notre grammaire, notre logique et notre linguistique sont les heritieres plus ou moins conscientes de l'une des trois parties de cette philosophie, la dialectique, qui fut, dans sa forme classique, l'oeuvre de Chrysippe (280-204 av. J.C.). Ce livre est la premiere reconstruction synthetique de la dialectique stoicienne dans son ensemble. Son point de vue est en outre entierement nouveau. En effet, pour l'auteur, les stoiciens n'avaient pas une logique au sens moderne du terme, mais une dialectique, c'est-a-dire une technique de l'argumentation dialoguee. Sa conception complexe, a premiere vue multiple et equivoque, recoit ainsi un eclairage inedit, qui permet de comprendre son originalite et d'en reinterpreter la place dans l'ensemble du systeme. Cela nous permet aussi de mieux comprendre le sens des disciplines qui en sont les heritieres infideles.

Download or read book Ancient Models of Mind written by Andrea Nightingale and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-11 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does God think? How, ideally, does a human mind function? Must a gap remain between these two paradigms of rationality? Such questions exercised the greatest ancient philosophers, including those featured in this book: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics and Plotinus. This volume encompasses a series of studies by leading scholars, revisiting key moments of ancient philosophy and highlighting the theme of human and divine rationality in both moral and cognitive psychology. It is a tribute to Professor A. A. Long, and reflects multiple themes of his own work.

Download or read book Grammar and Philosophy in Late Antiquity written by Anneli Luhtala and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the various philosophical influences contained in the ancient description of the noun. According to the traditional view, grammar adopted its philosophical categories in the second century B.C. and continued to make use of precisely the same concepts for over six hundred years, that is, until the time of Priscian (ca. 500). The standard view is questioned in this study, which investigates in detail the philosophy contained in Priscian's Institutiones grammaticae. This investigation reveals a distinctly Platonic element in Priscian's grammar, which has not been recognised in linguistic historiography. Thus, grammar manifestly interacted with philosophy in Late Antiquity. This discovery led to the reconsideration of the origin of all the philosophical categories of the noun. Since the authenticity of the Techne, which was attributed to Dionysius Thrax, is now regarded as uncertain, it is possible to speculate that the semantic categories are derived from Late Antiquity.

Download or read book The Frontiers of Ancient Science written by Brooke Holmes and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-03-30 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our understanding of science, mathematics, and medicine today can be deeply enriched by studying the historical roots of these areas of inquiry in the ancient Near East and Mediterranean. The fields of ancient science and mathematics have in recent years witnessed remarkable growth. The present volume brings together contributions from more than thirty of the most important scholars working in these fields in the United States and Europe in honor of the eminent historian of ancient science and medicine Heinrich von Staden, Professor Emeritus of Classics and History of Science at the Institute of Advanced Study and William Lampson Professor Emeritus of Classics and Comparative Literature at Yale University. The papers range widely from Mesopotamia to Ancient Greece and Rome, from the first millennium B.C. to the early medieval period, and from mathematics to philosophy, mechanics to medicine, representing both a wide diversity of national traditions and the cutting edge of the international scholarly community.

Download or read book The Art of Prolog second edition written by Leon S. Sterling and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1994-03-10 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of The Art of Prolog contains a number of important changes. Most background sections at the end of each chapter have been updated to take account of important recent research results, the references have been greatly expanded, and more advanced exercises have been added which have been used successfully in teaching the course. Part II, The Prolog Language, has been modified to be compatible with the new Prolog standard, and the chapter on program development has been significantly altered: the predicates defined have been moved to more appropriate chapters, the section on efficiency has been moved to the considerably expanded chapter on cuts and negation, and a new section has been added on stepwise enhancement—a systematic way of constructing Prolog programs developed by Leon Sterling. All but one of the chapters in Part III, Advanced Prolog Programming Techniques, have been substantially changed, with some major rearrangements. A new chapter on interpreters describes a rule language and interpreter for expert systems, which better illustrates how Prolog should be used to construct expert systems. The chapter on program transformation is completely new and the chapter on logic grammars adds new material for recognizing simple languages, showing how grammars apply to more computer science examples.

Download or read book Bayes Or Bust written by John Earman and published by Bradford Books. This book was released on 1992 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is currently no viable alternative to the Bayesian analysis of scientific inference, yet the available versions of Bayesianism fail to do justice to several aspects of the testing and confirmation of scientific hypotheses. Bayes or Bust? provides the first balanced treatment of the complex set of issues involved in this nagging conundrum in the philosophy of science. Both Bayesians and anti-Bayesians will find a wealth of new insights on topics ranging from Bayes's original paper to contemporary formal learning theory. In a paper published posthumously in 1763, the Reverend Thomas Bayes made a seminal contribution to the understanding of "analogical or inductive reasoning." Building on his insights, modem Bayesians have developed an account of scientific inference that has attracted numerous champions as well as numerous detractors. Earman argues that Bayesianism provides the best hope for a comprehensive and unified account of scientific inference, yet the presently available versions of Bayesianisin fail to do justice to several aspects of the testing and confirming of scientific theories and hypotheses. By focusing on the need for a resolution to this impasse, Earman sharpens the issues on which a resolution turns. John Earman is Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh.

Download or read book Scientific Babel written by Michael D. Gordin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-04-13 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English is the language of science today. No matter which languages you know, if you want your work seen, studied, and cited, you need to publish in English. But that hasn’t always been the case. Though there was a time when Latin dominated the field, for centuries science has been a polyglot enterprise, conducted in a number of languages whose importance waxed and waned over time—until the rise of English in the twentieth century. So how did we get from there to here? How did French, German, Latin, Russian, and even Esperanto give way to English? And what can we reconstruct of the experience of doing science in the polyglot past? With Scientific Babel, Michael D. Gordin resurrects that lost world, in part through an ingenious mechanism: the pages of his highly readable narrative account teem with footnotes—not offering background information, but presenting quoted material in its original language. The result is stunning: as we read about the rise and fall of languages, driven by politics, war, economics, and institutions, we actually see it happen in the ever-changing web of multilingual examples. The history of science, and of English as its dominant language, comes to life, and brings with it a new understanding not only of the frictions generated by a scientific community that spoke in many often mutually unintelligible voices, but also of the possibilities of the polyglot, and the losses that the dominance of English entails. Few historians of science write as well as Gordin, and Scientific Babel reveals his incredible command of the literature, language, and intellectual essence of science past and present. No reader who takes this linguistic journey with him will be disappointed.
