Every branch of science draws upon large and often diverse portions of mathematics, from the use of Hilbert spaces in quantum mechanics to the use of differential geometry in general relativity. It's not just the physical sciences that avail themselves of the services of mathematics either. Biology, for instance, makes extensive use of difference equations and statistics. The roles mathematics plays in these theories is also varied. Not only does mathematics help with empirical predictions, it allows elegant and economical statement of many theories. Indeed, so important is the language of mathematics to science, that it is hard to imagine how theories such as quantum mechanics and general relativity could even be stated without employing a substantial amount of mathematics. but this one is by far the most influential, and so in what follows I'll concentrate on it.

62. Philosophy Of Science, By Roger Jones place between the established Church and the emerging empiricism, before the enabledhim to supplant the Pythagorean (ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras (c http://www.philosopher.org.uk/sci.htm

Philosophy of science Science vs. Religion, from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment The shift in the western mind from the medieval to the modern was underpinned by the growth of science. However a two hundred year long intellectual battle was to take place between the established Church and the emerging empiricism, before the Enlightenment could flourish. Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) challenged the view that the Earth was at the centre of the universe. He suggested that the observational evidence would be better explained by the theory that the earth orbited the sun. Francis Bacon (1561-1626) argued for the use of experiment rather than deduction as a means to increase knowledge. Johannes Kepler's (1571-1630) employment of observation and mathematics enabled him to supplant the Pythagorean (ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras' (c. 530 BC)) theories of perfect heavenly spheres by showing how planets moved in ellipses. Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was placed under house arrest for agreeing with Copernicus. Despite resistance from the religious authorities, the success of science in explaining and predicting the natural world could not be ignored. René Descartes (1596-1650) thought he had found a rational foundation for science based on his arguments for his own existence and the existence of god. God, he argued, would not deceive our senses. This felicitous reconciliation between Cartesian rationalism, a belief in God and the support for empiricism did not survive for long.

Philosophy of Science Lecture Notes September 24, 1997 Professor Norman Swartz Simon Fraser University "P is knowable experientially" = df "It is humanly possible to know P either by direct appeal to experience or by valid inference from propositions one or more of which is known experientially". Comments: "experiential" and " a posteriori " are synonyms. "experiential" does not mean either "experimental" or "empirical". The phrase "valid inference" is not to be taken to mean "deductively valid inference". It is to be understand to mean "deductively or inductively valid inference". Be careful not to read into this definition more than it states. In particular, do not assume that one's knowledge must derive from one's own -hand. The definition (above) is recursive, as is the next. See " Definitions, Dictionaries, and Meanings "P is knowable ratiocinatively" = df "It is humanly possible to know P by appeal to reason (e.g. by an analysis of concepts) or by valid inference from propositions which themselves are known by appeal to reason." Comments: Note that the parenthetical phrase begins "e.g." The meaning would change dramatically if it were instead "i.e."

June 2003 Home Books in Print Order Form LOGICAL EMPIRICISM Historical and Contemporary Perspectives Edited by Paolo Parrini, Wesley C. Salmon, and Merilee H. Salmon "In recent years logical empiricism and its development have become an important topic for historical reflection. The historical perspective allows us to be more detached than was possible before, to overcome old, crude caricatures and stereotypes, and to replace them with more nuanced analyses and the exposition of subtle variations in this philosophical movement, as well as in its relation to other such movements. In addition, it allows us to put related developments in contemporary philosophy in a new light. Seen as a whole, the articles in this collection achieve all of the above. The volume should not be missed by anyone interested in logical empiricism, or in the history and legacy of analytic philosophy more generally." Erich Reck, University of California, Riverside Logical empiricism, a program for the study of science that attempted to provide logical analyses of the nature of scientific concepts, the relation between evidence and theory, and the nature of scientific explanation, formed among the famed Vienna and Berlin Circles of the 1920s and '30s and dominated the philosophy of science throughout much of the twentieth century. In recent decades, a "post-positivist" philosophy, deriding empiricism and its claims in light of more recent historical and sociological discoveries, has been the ascendant mode of philosophy and other disciplines in the arts and sciences.

The Influence of Darwin on Philosophy and Other Essays Chapter 9: The Postulate of Immediate Empiricism Citation: John Dewey. "The Postulate of Immediate Empiricism", Chapter 9 in The Influence of Darwin on Philosophy and Other Essays. New York: Henry Holt and Company (1910) : 226 - 241. THE POSTULATE OF IMMEDIATE EMPIRICISM THE criticisms made upon that vital but still unformed movement variously termed radical empiricism, pragmatism, humanism, functionalism, according as one or another aspect of it is uppermost, have left me with a conviction that the fundamental difference is not so much in matters overtly discussed as in a presupposition that remains tacit: a presupposition as to what experience is and means. To do my little part in clearing up the confusion, I shall try to make my own presupposition explicit. The object of this paper is, then, to set forth what I understand to be the postulate and the criterion of immediate empiri cism. Immediate empiricism postulates that things- anything, everything, in the ordinary or nontechnical use of the term " thing "- are what they are experienced as. Hence, if one wishes to describe anything truly, his task is to tell what it is experienced as being. If it is a horse that is to be described, or the equus that is to be defined, then must the horse-trader, or the jockey, or the timid family man who wants a " safe driver," or the zoologist or the paleontologist tell us what the horse is which is experienced. If these accounts turn out different in some respects, as well as congruous in others, this is no reason for assuming the content of one to be exclusively " real," and that of others to be " phenomenal"; for each account of what is experienced will manifest that it is the account o f the horse-dealer, or of the zoologist, and hence will give the conditions requisite for understanding the differences as well as the agreements of the various accounts. And the principle varies not a whit if we bring in the psychologist's horse, the logician's horse, or the metaphysician's horse.

World Philosophy Empiricism The Empirical Stance by Bas C. Van Fraassen (Yale University) What is empiricism and what could it be? Bas C. van Fraassen, one of the world's foremost contributors to philosophical logic and the philosophy of science, in his Terry Lectures undertakes a fresh consideration of these questions and offers a program for renewal of the empiricist tradition. The empiricist tradition is not and could not be defined by common doctrines, but embodies a certain stance in philosophy, van Fraassen says. This stance is displayed first of all in a searing, recurrent critique of metaphysics, and second in a focus on experience that requires a voluntarist view of belief and opinion. Van Fraassen focuses on the, philosophical problems of scientific and conceptual revolu­tions and on the not unrelated ruptures between religious and secular ways of seeing or conceiving of ourselves. He explores what it is to be or not be secular and points the way toward a new relationship between secularism and science within philosophy.
