Philosophy And The Quest For A Justified Worldview—A Review of Kekes In his The Nature of Philosophy John Kekes breathes new life into the characterization of philosophy as perennial argumentation which aims at the resolution of inevitable and enduring human problems. While some of our problems are removable in that their solution leads to their disappearance, others will not disappear and are termed enduring —here we must develop a policy which will allow us to cope (36). Some of these problems are not merely problems for particular individuals, they are externally and unavoidably forced upon us all given the sort of creatures we are and the sort of environment we inhabit. Failure to resolve such problems of life places our very lives in jeopardy. According to Kekes, philosophers should provide justified worldviews —systematic and comprehensive theories which combine a reliable account of the nature of reality with a system of ideals thus offering a systematic response to our enduring problems of life (56). Debates about the justifiability of or precise nature of our ideals are termed perennial arguments . In external perennial arguments disputants disagree as to the acceptability of an ideal, while in internal ones they accept the ideal but disagree as to its nature or specification.

They centre upon a propensity to use and to enjoy what is available rather than to wish for or to look for something else; to delight in what is present rather than what was or what may be . . . an appropriate gratefulness for what is available, and consequently the acknowledgment of a gift or an inheritance from the past. Michael Oakeshott On Being Conservative It is a curious coincidence that two of the greatest British philosophers of the 20th Century are each known primarily for just one essayIsaiah Berlin for The Hedgehog and The Fox and Michael Oakeshott for Rationalism in Politics . That's neither to denigrate their other writings nor to diminish the two remarkable essays, but it is odd. Michael Oakeshott followed in the footsteps of a long line of English skeptics, the greatest of whom was probably David Hume. In

The philosophy topic for this year is: RATIONALISM IN THE GREEK TRADITION. All of the morning, and some of the afternoon, sessions will be devoted to presentations of papers focusing on the many issues associated with the above topic. Rationalism is a pervasive theme in Greek philosophy, emerging as a central issue even among the earliest Greek thinkers and remaining at the center of the debate throughout the course of ancient Greek philosophy. Rationalism, in one of its many forms, is often an essential component of the many epistemological, metaphysical, psychological, ethical, religious, and political theories advanced by the Greek philosophers. The organizers of the XIVth International Symposium hope participants will explore the many aspects of rationalism as well as the criticisms of it, including topics that fall under the following categories:

Comments on Chyzhevs'kyi's Historiography of Philosophy in Ukraine Andrew Chrucky This paper was originally presented as part of a session organized by Prof. Vitalij Keis at a conference of the American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages in Chicago (1982); and subsequently published in the Ukrainian literary journal Suchasnist' (1988 (No. 5)) in a Ukrainian translation done by Prof. Keis. Chyzhevs'kyi's most comprehensive work on philosophy in Ukraine is his Outlines of the History of Philosophy in Ukraine , published in 1931. When I first read it, I became rather bewildered. There is a chapter devoted to Mykola Hohol' (Gogol) and another to the trio of Pantelejmon Kulish, Mykola Kostomarov and Taras Shevchenko. Now, I asked myself, why is it that such seemingly unphilosophical writers are given extensive treatment, while other writers and philosophers are barely mentioned? What do Hohol', Kulish, Kostomarov and Shevchenko have in common to warrant their inclusion in a history of philosophy? The only thing they appear to share approximating what I consider to be philosophy is a world-view, an ideology, a Weltanschauung I use these words synonymously. Their

Rationalism, Freethinking and Prospects of Mukto-mona [Part - I] By : Avijit Roy E-mail: avijitroy1@yahoo.com There are hundreds of evidence of rational thoughts in our ancient purans. The counter part term of theism in Indian Philosophy is Nastikata or Nastibad (disbelieving in God, the creator). This is also identical with Karmanam - denying the consequences of work. Nastikata or atheism, as a philosophy was developed by Dhisan before Gautam Budha . According to him the Universe exists, but not God, the creator; only eternal entity is the matter, and matter consists of four elements: earth, water, energy and air. The creation of life is a specific process of nature and it evolves out of the composite composition of four elements. With death all ends. Perception is the only direct proof of existence. In Indian mythology and purans, Brihospoti is considered as the preceptor of all gods (Devguru) . He was one of the prominent authors of Rikvedas and the first Rational Atheist among the Aryans. Some scholars think that he was, most probably, the first Atheist in the world . Brihoshopti is considered as the spiritual master (guru) of the charvaka philosophy.

73. The Enlightenment By Roger Jones rationalism has a long history in philosophy, Plato (c. 427347 BC)was a rationalist. René Descartes (1596-1650), the father http://www.philosopher.org.uk/enl.htm

The Enlightenment The characteristics of the Enlightenment are a scepticism towards the doctrines of the church, individualism, a belief in science and the experimental method, the use of reason, that education could be a catalyst of social change and the demand for political representation. Its main social and political consequence was the French revolution. The core period of the Enlightenment was second half of the eighteenth century. The thinkers associated with the Enlightenment include d'Holbach (1723-89) and the Encyclopedists in France, David Hume (1711-76) in Scotland and Kant in Germany. To understand the Enlightenment we have to look at what preceded it. The battle of ideas that was to culminate in the Enlightenment began in the seventeenth century. Francis Bacon (1561-1626) advocated the use of scientific method and René Descartes (1596-1650) proposed a critical rationalism . The Enlightenment can be understood as the culmination of the move away from the authority and dogmatism of the mediaeval and the awakening of modernity. Medieval philosophy combined Christian beliefs with the ideas of Plato and Aristotle. In the medieval world philosophers respected their predecessors and accepted their methods. If a new discovery about nature contradicted one of Aristotle's principles, for example, it would probably have been assumed that it was the discovery that was in error.

74. Philosophy And The Proof Of God's Existence By Roger Jones One of the most farreaching consequences of the rationalism of the Enlightenment berationally proved, indeed God was a necessary part of their philosophy. http://www.philosopher.org.uk/god.htm

Philosophy and the proof of God's existence One of the most far-reaching consequences of the rationalism of the Enlightenment was the undermining of basic Christian faith among the educated classes. The effect was unintended because the project of many Enlightenment philosophers was to prove the existence of God using reason: Descartes and Leibniz assumed that God's existence could be rationally proved, indeed God was a necessary part of their philosophy. There are many traditional "proofs" for the existence of God, and we will look at three of them: The argument from design, the ontological argument and the cosmological argument. Traditional "proofs" of God's Existence 1) The argument from Design. If you found a clock and examined the mechanism within it, you would probably think that this intricate mechanism was not the outcome of mere chance, that it had been designed. Now look at the universe; is it possible that such an intricate mechanism, from the orbits of planets round the sun to the cells in your fingernails could all have happened by chance? Surely, this enormously complex mechanism has been designed, and the being that designed it must be God. 2) The ontological argument God is the perfect being. As He is most perfect, He must have all perfections. If God lacked existence He would not be perfect, as He is perfect he must exist.

Home Biography Writing Consulting ... Links Pancritical Rationalism: An Extropic Metacontext for Memetic Progress Max More more@extropy.org max@maxmore.com This paper was delivered at Extropy's Institute's 1994 conference, EXTRO-1, and published in the Proceedings of that event. The Importance of Epistemology to Extropian Living In the course of an interview in Extropy #11, Mark Miller expressed his view that "epistemological issues are the great missing piece in Extropian philosophy right now." Although, right from the outset, Extropian thought has taken a stand with regard to issues of knowledge, belief, and justification for instance, in the principles of Self-Transformation and Dynamic Optimism Mark's point can be supported by noting the absence, until now, of a fully fleshed out epistemological framework for the Extropian philosophy. This paper seeks to provide an outline of such a framework, to compare it to traditional theories of knowledge, and to relate it to the Extropian Principles. I want to thank Mark Miller at the outset not only for stressing the importance and urgency of this issue, but for recommending William Bartley's book, The Retreat to Commitment 1. My approach is deeply indebted to Bartley's.

Department of Philosophy Autumn 2002 71C5 Rationalism and Empiricism This core unit deals with central issues in metaphysics and the theory of knowledge through a study of selected major works in the early modern (17th and 18th century) history of philosophy. The chosen texts are Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy and Locke's Essay concerning Human Understanding . Many of the problems first systematically explored in these works remain at the heart of philosophy, and the solutions to those problems proposed by Descartes and Locke still set the scene for contemporary discussion of them. For this reason the unit provides essential background to advanced work in philosophy. Outcomes * To develop understanding of such central topics as: the certainty and basis of knowledge; the possibility of establishing substantial truths about the world without recourse to observation; the objectivity of both everyday and scientific descriptions of the world; the nature of mind and the self. * To develop the abilities involved in the close study and criticism of historical texts. * By means of this specific programme, the unit further aims to improve critical reading, critical thinking, and oral communication skills through the seminar discussion and essay writing processes.

Previous Home TOC Next Age of Enlightenment—the 18th Century The ‘Age of Enlightenment’ is a term used to describe the trends in thought and letters in Europe and the American colonies during the 18 th century, prior to the French Revolution of 1789-1799. The phrase was frequently employed by writers of the period itself, convinced that they were emerging from centuries of darkness and ignorance into a new age enlightened by reason, science, and a respect for humanity. The precursors of the Enlightenment can be traced to the 17 th century philosophers and earlier. Equally important, though, were the self-confidence engendered by new discoveries in science and the spirit of cultural relativism encouraged by the exploration of the non-European world. Of the basic assumptions and beliefs common to philosophers and intellectuals of this period, perhaps the most important was an abiding faith in the power of human reason. People came to assume that through a judicious use of reason, an unending progress would be possible—progress in knowledge, in technical achievement, and even in moral values. Although they saw the church—especially the Roman Catholic church—as the principal force that had enslaved the human mind in the past, most Enlightenment thinkers did not renounce religion altogether.
