Response 1: Herbert Butterfield Response 2: Philosophy and Economic History (Senior Research Project, John Martella, '92) Mr. Martella traces attitudes towards money and wealth back to Plato, Aristotle, early Christianity, and Aquinas, and then looks closely at the overturning of these attitudes in mercantilism and capitalism (as philosophically grounded by Adam Smith and John Locke). This document will help us better understand the complex interactions between economic structures, on the one hand, and religious and philosophical frameworks on the other.

Modern Skepticism Since the publication of Popkin's History of Skepticism , the strong influence of Greek skepticism on modern philosophy is now an accepted fact. In this and other publications Popkin traces the impact of skepticism on modern philosophy from 16th century editions of Sextus Empiricus to its ultimate resolution in the writings of the "new Pyrrho": David Hume. With a half dozen publications of Sextus' writings in the 17th and 18th centuries, skepticism became a popular and important philosophical issue to the moderns. Many thinkers, particularly in France, carried the Pyrrhonian torch as passed to them through Sextus's writings. Included were Michel de Montaigne (who made specific use of the ten skeptical tropes of Aenesidemus), Pierre Charron, Petrus Gassendi (who is remembered for his critical letters to Descartes), Joseph Glanvill (who introduced Pyrrhonism to England), Walter Raleigh, Pierre-Daniel Huet, and, most significantly, Pierre Bayle. In his highly influential Historical and Critical Dictionary , Bayle wrote substantial entries on over two and a half thousand people from Adam and Eve to Spinoza and near two hundred entries on non-person topics. But he delivered his most influential skeptical arguments in the extended footnotes to his entries. Of particular importance were his entries on Eve, David, Pyrrho, the Manicheans, the Paulicans, Zeno, Pomponazzi, Xenophanes, Spinoza, Nicole, and Pellison.

28. Avineri: Hegel's Theory Of The Modern State, 5: Modern Life And Social Reality An excerpt from chapter 5 of this work. Uses some of Hegel's littleknown early works to analyze his view of property. http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/ot/avineri5.htm

Shlomo Avineri (1972) Hegel's Theory of the Modern State Source : Hegel's Theory of the Modern State, Shlomo Avineri, 1972. 5: Modern life and social reality In the System der Sittlichkeit and the two versions of the Realphilosophie Hegel introduces for the first time his theory of what he would later call 'objective spirit', though the Realphilosophie contains also much else. Both sets of texts remained unpublished in Hegel's own lifetime. The System der Sittlichkeit, composed around 1802-3, was published in its entirety for the first time by Lasson in 1913, though an earlier incomplete version was published by Mollat in 1893. The two versions of lectures known as Realphilosophie I and II, delivered by Hegel at Jena University in 1803-4 and 1805-6 respectively, were published by Hoffmeister for the first time in the early 1930s. A careful analysis of these two sets of texts, unknown to most of Hegel's traditional commentators, shows that while Hegel's main concern was always the attempt to achieve a comprehensive system of general philosophical speculation, his preoccupation with problems of a social and political nature consistently remained as the focus of his theoretical interest. These texts also point to a remarkable continuity in his political thought and clearly show that the political philosophy of the Philosophy of Right cannot be understood in terms of a mere justification of the Restoration of 1815, since most of its themes and ideas go back to Hegel's thought during the Jena period.

30. Epistemology And Modern Physics The relation outlined between modern physics and philosophy could occasion regret that epistemology should cast the anchor of its criterion of truth into http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/ge/schlick.htm

Moritz Schlick (1925) Source The Emergence of Logical Empiricism (1996) publ. Garland Publishing Inc. The whole of Schlick selection for series is reproduced here. There is no longer any doubt nowadays, that theoretical philosophy has standing only in close connection with the sciences, whether it seeks in them a basis on which it attempts to build further, or whether they form for it merely the subject-matter of its own analyses, whereby it then makes individual inquiry into the first principles of knowledge. This is very much the case if, as I believe, philosophy can be nothing else whatever but the activity whereby we clarify all our concepts. And it is also beyond doubt that, of all the sciences, physics here stands at the forefront. Physics, that is, occupies an exceptional position, because in it two elements are united, which are only found separately in the other sciences: in the first place its exactness, the quantitative determinacy of its laws, whereby it differs from all other factual sciences, more particularly the historical sciences; and secondly the fact that it has as its subject-matter the real

Everyone who believes that death may be the end should read the following essay from cover to cover. It represents a serious attempt to identify what may be a critical flaw in the foundation of many modern philosophies. It will help those who study Nihilism, Rationalism, Humanism, Agnosticism, and Existentialism, recognize questions that are probably already on their minds. It will address essential questions that you need to seek answers for. We will suggest that, whether they realize and admit it or not, anyone who does not believe in an "afterlife" is necessarily a "nihilist". In response to what appears to be a strong, intuitive, predisposition of readers to dismiss the conclusions of this essay as simply wrong, it has grown from a few pages to a lengthy, sometimes difficult to read, somewhat rambling, occasionally boring, text. For those who want a shorter introduction to our thoughts on nihilism, please read the summary of this essay by clicking here . Most readers will want to read the summary before proceeding with the detailed analysis. Those who choose to continue with this version may also find the summary interesting, as it includes some additional materials (the summary is a chapter in a book we publish, which we provide links to at the end

With the advent of general relativity it has been entertained by serious physicists. But, especially in the philosophy literature, there have been arguments that time travel is inherently paradoxical. The most famous paradox is the grandfather paradox: you travel back in time and kill your grandfather, thereby preventing your own existence. To avoid inconsistency some circumstance will have to occur which makes you fail in this attempt to kill your grandfather. Doesn't this require some implausible constraint on otherwise unrelated circumstances? We examine such worries in the context of modern physics.

G. W. F. Hegel: Lectures on the History of Philosophy Table of Contents SECTION TWO PERIOD OF THE THINKING UNDERSTANDING On account of this new beginning to Philosophy we find in the old histories of Philosophy of the seventeenth century - e.g. that of Stanley - the philosophy of the Greeks and Romans only, and Christianity forms the conclusion. The idea was that neither in Christianity nor subsequently any philosophy was to be found, because there was no longer a necessity for it, seeing that the philosophic theology of the Middle Ages had not free, spontaneous thought as its principle (Vol. I. pp. 111, 112). But though it is true that this has now become the philosophic principle, we must not expect that it should be at once methodically developed out of thought. The old assumption is made, that man only attains to the truth through reflection; this plainly is the principle. But the determination and definition of God, the world of the manifold as it appears, is not yet revealed as necessarily proceeding from thought; for we have only reached the thought of a content which is given through ordinary conception, observation, and experience. On the one hand we see a metaphysic, and, on the other, the particular sciences: on the one hand abstract thought as such, on the other its content taken from experience; these two lines in the abstract stand opposed to one another, and yet they do not separate themselves so sharply. We shall indeed come to an opposition, viz. to that between

Hey, philosophy professors. If you've come to this page because you've found that a student has plagiarized one of the papers below, drop me a note, philarete at mindspring dot com. I'm curious as to how widely these papers are being plagiarized. Hey, philosophy students. Don't plagiarize these papers. For that matter, don't plagiarize at all. It's better to fail honestly than to cheat and get an A. Besides, you'll probably get caught. One student that I know of has been caught already. Metaphysics Artifacts, Matter, and Persistence I argue that artifacts are strictly identical with the masses of matter that constitute them. Mereological Nihilism and the Limits of Paraphrase I argue that the mereological nihilist, one who denies that composition ever occurs, must resort to an ontology of sets in order to paraphrase away apparent reference to composite objects in everyday speech. Essentialism and the Grandfather Paradox I argue that essentialism of origins implies that David Lewis's proposed solution to one of the paradoxes of time travel does not always work. Williams on Personal Identity I argue that Bernard Williams' famous thought experiments on personal identity are not as decisive as some have thought.

40. Toward A Comprehensive View Of Jewish Philosophy: The Middle Ages And The Modern A 1996 article by Andrey V. Smirnov. http://www.iph.ras.ru/~orient/eng/pube/jewphile.htm

This article was published in: Jewish Philosophy and the Academy. ed. E.L.Fackenheim and R.Jospe. Madison-Teaneck, Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, London: Associated University Presses, 1996, p.93-99. Russian version Up Toward a Comprehensive View of Jewish Philosophy: The Middle Ages and the Modern Era Andrey V. Smirnov [93] It is both a most intricate and exciting endeavor for the historian of philosophy to try to penetrate the central ideas and grasp the particular ways of raising problems that are specific to the philosophic tradition he studies, and to formulate, on this basis, a view of this tradition presented as an integral entity. The very fact that the Jewish philosophic tradition emerged and developed in a close relationship with the Greek and Arab philosophic traditions in the Middle Ages, as well as with the European tradition in modern times, renders particularly relevant the task of revealing the internal foundation on which the unity of Jewish philosophic thought rests. Is Jewish philosophy merely an assimilation of foreign ideas and their adaptation to a Jewish outlook, or is it an autonomous and self-sufficient historical-philosophical phenomenon? Because an article of this length cannot provide an exhaustive answer to the question, I shall try to highlight only the principles that underlie the approach to dealing with it. Genuine history of philosophy is impossible either as doxography or as an autonomous science; genuine history of philosophy is possible only as a self-consciousness of philosophy, as an awareness of its own “I”. In its history, philosophy perceives itself, and also perceives its fundamental problems and ways of solving them. It becomes aware of itself as an indivisible organic entity with nothing obsolescent or irrelevant in it, where the ideas of any philosopher who belongs to a given tradition are ever alive and relevant, since it is only when combined, that these ideas make up the “I” of the tradition.
