    Extractions: epistemology u u j E Pronunciation Key epistemology Descartes and other philosophers (e.g., Baruch Spinoza, G. W. Leibniz, and Blaise Pascal) sought to retain the belief in the existence of innate (a priori) ideas together with an acceptance of the values of data and ideas derived from experience (a posteriori). This position was basically that of rationalism . Opposed to it later was empiricism , notably as expounded by John Locke, David Hume, and John Stuart Mill, which denied the existence of innate ideas altogether. The impressive critical philosophy of Immanuel Kant had immense effects in an attempt to combine the two views. In later theories the split was reflected in idealism and materialism. The causal theory of knowledge, advanced by Alfred North Whitehead and others, stressed the role of the nervous system as intermediary between an object and the perception of it. The methods of perceiving, obtaining, and validating data derived from sense experience has been central to

    Extractions: Kant's most original contribution to philosophy is his "Copernican Revolution," that, as he puts it, it is the representation that makes the object possible rather than the object that makes the representation possible. This introduced the human mind as an active originator of experience rather than just a passive recipient of perception. Something like this now seems obvious: the mind could be a tabula rasa , a "blank tablet," no more than a bathtub full of silicon chips could be a digital computer. Perceptual input must be processed , i.e. recognized , or it would just be noise "less even than a dream" or "nothing to us," as Kant alternatively puts it. But if the mind actively generates perception, this raises the question whether the result has anything to do with the world, or if so, how much. The answer to the question, unusual, ambiguous, or confusing as it would be, made for endless trouble both in Kant's thought and for a posterity trying to figure him out. To the extent that knowledge depends on the structure of the mind and not on the world, knowledge would have no connection to the world and is not even true representation , just a solipsistic or intersubjective fantasy. Kantianism seems threatened with "psychologism," the doctrine that what we know is our own psychology, not external things. Kant did say, consistent with psychologism, that basically we don't know about "things-in-themselves," objects as they exist apart from perception. But at the same time Kant thought he was vindicating both a

    Extractions: Philosophy and Phenomenological Research Vol. LVII, No. 1, March 1997 Analyticity, Necessity, and the Epistemology of Semantics* JERROLD J. KATZ The Graduate Center The City University of New York Introduction Philosophers who agree on little else agree that analyticity—if there is such a thing—is (necessary) truth in virtue of meaning alone. I will call this "the standard view". The view derives from Frege’s (1953, p. 4) definition of analyticity as truth based on proof based on logical laws and definitions. The standard view is taken entirely for granted both by philosophers like Carnap (1965, p. 8 and p. 222) who accept analyticity and necessity and also by philosophers like Quine p. 21) who reject them. Quine’s p. 23) definition of an analytic statement in "Two Dogmas of Empiricism" as a statement that "can be turned into a logical truth by putting synonyms for synonyms"—which set the terms for the debate about analyticity—is a virtual paraphrase of Frege’s definition. The general acceptance of the standard view is due to its being perceived as the only view on analyticity that intensionalists have available to them. The standard view is as deeply influential as it is widely accepted. The arguments of Donnellan, Putnam, and Kripke concerning the semantics of natural kind terms, which most philosophers now take to be the decisive arguments against the traditional theory of meaning (i.e., the theory coming down to us from Descartes, Locke, and Kant) depend on the standard view and the Fregean notion of sense underlying it. Those arguments have had important philosophical consequences not only in the philosophy of language but also in areas such as the theory of knowledge and the philosophy of mind. Generalizing Donnellan’s (1962, pp.

    Extractions: Source Navigator, 3/2003 Logbook The Advanced Seminar in Objectivist Studies program has been set and is posted on the TOC website. The Advanced Seminar is a small, intensive half-week gathering that discusses new research on Objectivism and develops Objectivist methods of scholarship. It will take place June 25-27 at Bentley College, preceding the full summer seminar. Likely participants include advanced undergraduates, graduate students in philosophy and allied fields, and professional and independent scholars. The Advanced Seminar is offered free of charge to qualified students and professional scholars, including those presenting papers. Non-student participants pay only the cost of room and board for the three nights of the seminar. The application deadline is April 21, 2003. Admission is strictly limited to qualified students and scholars in order to permit productive discussions. Applicants should possess a systematic understanding of Objectivism and a professional interest in developing and applying objective methods of philosophic analysis. Participants will be expected to prepare for the seminar by reading the seminar papers in advance, and some may be requested to prepare comments on certain papers.

    Extractions: Hume's Influences. In 1737 Hume sent a letter to his friend Michael Ramsay in which Hume suggests that, to understand Hume's views in the Treatise Meditations on the First Philosophy Meditationes de prima philosophia , 1641), Descartes combats sceptics who doubt the existence of the external world and the reliability of our senses. To accomplish his task, Descartes himself provisionally plays the role of a sceptic and doubts everything that can possibly be doubted. Descartes then arrives at one absolute truth - his own existence - and uses this as a foundation for demonstrating all knowledge. Hume was probably influenced by Descartes's provisional doubting process as Hume himself doubted the sources of our knowledge. Throughout Hume's philosophical writings, though, he also reacted against the more speculative metaphysical views that Descartes developed. The remaining three philosophers listed in Hume's letter - Malebranche, Bayle, and Berkeley - were all highly controversial figures when their writings first appeared, and they share the conviction that the true nature of the world is not as evident as we ordinarily think. By drawing from these three philosophers, it is no surprise that Hume challenged tradition in virtually every philosophical topic that he considered.

    Extractions: 1. Introduction Epistemological contextualism has evolved primarily as a response to views that maintain that we have no knowledge of the world around us. Taking quite seriously the problems presented by skepticism, contextualists seek to resolve the apparent conflict between claims like the following: (1) I know that I have hands. (2) But I don’t know that I have hands if I don’t know that I’m not a brain-in-a-vat (that is, a bodiless brain that is floating in a vat of nutrients and that is electrochemically stimulated in a way that generates perceptual experiences that are exactly similar to those that I am now having in what I take to be normal circumstances).

    Extractions: Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that studies knowledge. It attempts to answer the basic question: what distinguishes true (adequate) knowledge from false (inadequate) knowledge? Practically, this questions translates into issues of scientific methodology: how can one develop theories or models that are better than competing theories? It also forms one of the pillars of the new sciences of cognition, which developed from the information processing approach to psychology, and from artificial intelligence, as an attempt to develop computer programs that mimic a human's capacity to use knowledge in an intelligent way. When we look at the history of epistemology, we can discern a clear trend, in spite of the confusion of many seemingly contradictory positions. The first theories of knowledge stressed its absolute, permanent character, whereas the later theories put the emphasis on its relativity or situation-dependence, its continuous development or evolution, and its active interference with the world and its subjects and objects. The whole trend moves from a static, passive view of knowledge towards a more and more adaptive and active one. Let us start with the Greek philosophers. In Plato's view knowledge is merely an awareness of absolute, universal

    Extractions: goldman@philosophy.rutgers.edu RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS RESEARCH Alvin Goldman's principal research areas are epistemology, philosophy of mind, and cognitive science, and he has also written on metaphysics, political and legal theory, and philosophy of science. In epistemology he has championed the causal theory of knowing, the relevant alternatives approach to knowledge, and reliabilism about justification. Epistemology and Cognition (1986) explores connections between epistemology and cognitive science. Knowledge in a Social World (1999) articulates a truth-oriented conception of social epistemology and shows how the pursuit of truth can be enhanced by good interpersonal argumentation and well-designed technologies and institutions of public communication. These themes are applied to science, law, democracy, and education. Recent papers on epistemic internalism, a priori warrant, philosophical intuitions, and trust in experts are collected in Pathways to Knowledge (2002). He is currently writing a book on the simulation theory of mindreading, combining approaches from philosophy of mind, developmental psychology, and cognitive neuroscience.
