    Extractions: Previous Lecture Characteristic of Descartes's philosophy was the pivotal role played by God, who guarantees the reliability of our faculty of reason and who would be a deceiver if our strong inclination to believe in the existence of external things were wrong. A further role for God (not covered in the Meditations) is in science. High-level scientific principles are said to be based on God's attributes. For example, the claim that in the universe the quantity of motion is conserved is based on the immutability (unchanging character) of God. A problem with this top-down approach to scientific theorizing is that it can run into conflict with experience. In the case of the conservation law, it was soon recognized that it is empirically false. What is conserved is not quantity of motion, but quantity of directed motion. This fact sank Descartes's clever attempt to inject mind into the physical world by having it merely deflect motions in the brain: this would violate the correct conservation law. In contrast to the top-down approach, a bottom-up or inductive approach was championed by English philosophers. The approach consists of three steps:

    Extractions: "Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind" is an essential epistemological text of the twentieth century. It is difficult: each sentence is difficult. Sellars is said to have shown the existence of a private language by writing in one. The guide by Brandom does not much clarify and simplify the argument of Sellars for two reasons. It is impossible to do this. And Brandom wants to and does contribute significantly to Sellars scholarship. Sellars writes for the professional philosopher. If you plan to be such, or if you want to encounter philosophy at its most profound, you should study the book.

    Extractions: EMPIRICISM See AssOcIATION OF IDEAS; METAPHYSICS; PSYCHOLOGY; LoGIc; besides the biographies of the empirical philosophers. In medicine, the term is applied to a school of physicians who, in the time of Celsus and Galen, advocated accurate observation of the phenomena of health and disease in the belief that only by the collection of a vast mass of instances would a true science of medicine be attained. This point of view was carried to extremes by those who discarded all real study, and based their treatment on rules of thumb. Hence the modern sense of empirical as applied to the guess work of an untrained quack or charlatan. EMPIRE EMPLOYERS LIABILITY

    Extractions: Analytic philosophy is the dominant philosophical movement of English-speaking countries. The term "Analytic Philosophy" is slightly ambiguous and generally has three meanings: doctrine, method, and tradition. The doctrines are branches of belief that are sometimes mislabelled as being "Analytic philosophy". Namely logical positivism and logical atomism . The method of Analytic philosophy is a generalized approach to philosophy. It emphasizes a clear, precise approach with particular weight being placed upon argumentation and evidence, avoidance of ambiguity, and attention to detail. The tradition of Analytic philosophy began with Gottlob Frege at the turn of the twentieth-century and whose primary emphasis is on the analysis of language or meaning . It is characterized by its effort to clarify philosophical issues by analysis and logical rigor . Several lines of thought originate from the analytic philosophy tradition. These include: logical positivism logical empiricism logical atomism logicism and ordinary language philosophy Table of contents 1 Relation to Continental Philosophy 2 Formalism and natural languages 3 Formalism 3.1 Logical Atomism

    empiricism and the philosophy of Mind by Wilfrid Sellars, Richard Rorty StudyGuide by Robert B. Brandom, published by Harvard University Press.  
    http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/SELEMP.html
    
    Extractions: Wilfrid Sellars (1912-1989) graduated from the University of Michigan in 1933. He taught at Iowa, Minnesota, and Yale, and was University Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh from 1963 until his death. His works include Science and Metaphysics (1968) and Science, Perception, and Reality Richard Rorty is Professor of Comparative Literature at Stanford University . He is the author of the landmark works Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity ; and The Consequences of Pragmatism Robert B. Brandom is Distinguished Service Professor of Philosophy and Fellow of the Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh. Study Guide by Robert B. Brandom The most important work by one of America's greatest twentieth-century philosophers, Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind is both the epitome of Wilfrid Sellars' entire philosophical system and a key document in the history of philosophy. First published in essay form in 1956, it helped bring about a sea change in analytic philosophy. It broke the link, which had bound Russell and Ayer to Locke and Humethe doctrine of "knowledge by acquaintance." Sellars' attack on the Myth of the Given in Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind was a decisive move in turning analytic philosophy away from the foundationalist motives of the logical empiricists and raised doubts about the very idea of "epistemology."

Philosophy The philosophy of science seeks to clarify the objectives and means used by scientists, and what is the reliability of scientific theories. Science is popularly viewed as a cumulative and progressive activity. However this view has profound philosophical implications, and in fact the effort to define the nature of science is in itself part of the history of philosophy. Aristotle 's writings on nature make him the world's first real scientist, though his conclusions have long been superceded. His contributions are so great that he stands alongside

55. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Empiricism
    empiricism appears in the history of philosophy in three principal forms(1) Materialism, (2) Sensism, and (3) Positivism. (1) Materialism.  
    http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05407a.htm
    
    Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... E > Empiricism A B C D ... Z (Lat. empirismus, the standpoint of a system based on experience). Primarily, and in its psychological application, the term signifies the theory that the phenomena of consciousness are simply the product of sensuous experience, i.e. of sensations variously associated and arranged. It is thus distinguished from Nativism or Innatism. Secondarily, and in its logical (epistemological) usage, it designates the theory that all human knowledge is derived exclusively from experience, the latter term meaning, either explicitly or implicitly, external sense-percepts and internal representations and inferences exclusive of any superorganic (immaterial) intellectual factor. In this connection it is opposed to Intellectualism, Rationalism, Apriorism. The two usages evidently designate but two inseparable aspects of one and the same theory the epistemological being the application of the psychological to the problem of knowledge. Empiricism appears in the history of philosophy in three principal forms: (1) Materialism, (2) Sensism, and (3) Positivism. (1) Materialism Materialism in its crudest shape was taught by the ancient atomists (Democritus, Leucippus

60. Empiricism
    Can we implement the philosophy of empiricism in studying such things as the originof the universe, the evolution of our species, and the mechanism of the mind  
    http://phobos.ramapo.edu/~gbear/empiricism.htm
    
    Extractions: Excerpts from Gordon Bear's textbook Statistics: A Toolkit for Empiricists There is a useful word for work like surveys and experiments that seeks to generate knowledge by collecting and interpreting observations: empirical . The philosophy that motivates such work, empiricism , offers sound advice to anyone curious about anything: “Go see for yourself. Don’t trust what common sense says. Don’t trust what other people say—not even experts. Make your own observations.” Home Page] [Endeavors] For more about empiricism, read on. Those observations should be collected carefully, for people are prone to errors in perception and judgment and memory. If you rely on only your recollections of your mere impressions, your observations are just barely empirical. Care is also essential in the interpretation of observations, for they can be misleading. But careful observations collected systematically and interpreted prudently foster insights into this complex universe of ours—insights that can take us far beyond common sense, insights that have often proven experts wrong. Enunciated here is the philosophy of science, a unique tradition of inquiry that may be humanity’s finest achievement. Science vastly amplifies the power of our minds and our hands. Through science we have become privy to mysterious secrets of nature, created vaccines that prevent hideous diseases, and flown explorers to the distant moon.
