INTRODUCTION You may wonder why you should learn anything about Japanese philosophy of science in order to know Japanese society and culture. Speaking frankly, the combination of three teachers for this course was determined unsystematically, and I was assigned the role of the first speaker because I am the eldest among the three! However, we can find some significant reasons why we should know something about the state of philosophy in this country, because there are several features peculiar to it. I will briefly touch upon some of the key points in the following.

    Extractions: Soshichi Uchii , Kyoto University, Japan Paper presented for the Lunchtime Colloquium, Sept. 24, 1991, Center for Philosophy of Science, Univ. of Pittsburgh CONTENTS 1. What does Holmes have to do with philosophy of science? 2. Sherlock Holmes as a logician 3. Key words of Holmes's theory of reasoning 4. Herschel-Mill's theory of induction ... 8. Conclusion; Bibliography (Q0) "From a drop of water," said the writer, "a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara without having seen or heard of one or the other. So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a single link of it. Like all other arts, the Science of Deduction and Analysis is one which can only be acquired by long and patient study, nor is life long enough to allow any mortal to attain the highest possible perfection in it. " [ A Study in Scarlet , pt. 1, ch. 2] 1. What does Holmes have to do with philosophy of science? Today, I am going to talk about Sherlock Holmes and his relationship with philosophy of science. Since my talk is going to be something like background music, hopefully, for your lunch, I have chosen a rather light topic instead of a heavy dose of philosophy of science. To begin with, let me briefly outline what I am going to say. Of course you know who Sherlock Holmes is, although you may not know in detail what he did and what he said. Everyone knows that he was a very good detective and solved many difficult problems in criminal investigations. Everyone knows that he was an expert of reasoning and observation, so that he could frequently tell, on his first acquaintance with you, who you are and what you do, or where you come from, just by looking at you. [By the way, do you believe that Sherlock Holmes exists? If you believe that, you are a Sherlockian!]

    Extractions: Anyone who has attended a summer Seminar Laboratory Workshop at the Institute of General Semantics in recent years has heard Stuart Maper speak of Sir Karl R. Popper's philosophy of science as best illustrating the methodological view espoused by General Semantics as a discipline. Stuart reviews some of the key features of Popper's philosophy and shows how major paradigm shifts in scientific beliefs over the millennia conform to the system described by Popper. For those of you who have never been to an Institute seminar, or are otherwise not familiar with the recent philosophy of science, I will review the salient features of Popper's philosophy of science. Almost everyone is familiar with the classical method of reasoning know as modus ponens . The well known example goes as follows: If Socrates is a man then Socrates is mortal.

    philosophy of science The Central Issues offers a balanced and comprehensive survey to the main currents in twentiethcentury philosophy of science.  
    http://www.wwnorton.com/college/phil/science/welcome.htm
    
    Extractions: Philosophy of Science: The Central Issues offers a balanced and comprehensive survey to the main currents in twentieth-century philosophy of science. Gathering 49 readings on a variety of topics—science and pseudoscience; rationality, objectivity, and values in science; laws of nature; models of explanation, among others—this new anthology introduces students to the often challenging problems examined by major thinkers in the field. Combine this with thoughtful and thorough apparatus, and Philosophy of Science: The Central Issues is the most flexible and comprehensive collection ever created for undergraduate courses. Range and Depth Philosophy of Science covers more topics than other anthologies. Selections are organized around nine chapters, each covering a different topic. With such a range and depth of readings, students are able to explore important and interesting questions which are either ignored or receive only cursory attention in other anthologies: What distinguishes science from pseudoscience?; Is scientific change a rational process?; In what sense is science objective?; What are natural laws, and what do they describe?; Are scientific theories to be understood as offering a true account of the world? In each chapter, the editors have emphasized core issues that are relevant to all of the natural sciences, and in an effort to make the anthology accessible to undergraduates, the editors have selected readings that use only minimal amounts of formal logic and probability theory.

PICT.ESSAYS ... CRS.MATERIALS 1. The Continuity of Man and Animals Today, I wish to talk about Darwin's biological considerations on morality. There are other people who treated the same or the related problems in the 19th century, e.g. Spencer or Huxley ; but it seems to me Darwin is by far the most important. When I began to study the Darwininan evolutionary theory some twenty years ago, I was very much impressed by Darwin's persistence with his thesis of the continuity of man and animals. In The Descent of Man , published in 1871 (2nd ed., 1874), this thesis is put forward as follows [Q1]: It has, I think, now been shewn that man and the higher animals, especially the Primates, have some few instincts in common. All have the same senses, intuitions, and sensations,similar passions, affections, and emotions, even the more complex ones, such as jealousy, suspicion, emulation, gratitude, and magnanimity; they practise deceit and are revengeful; they are sometimes susceptible to ridicule, and even have a sense of humour; they feel wonder and curiosity; they possess the same faculties of imitation, attention, deliberation, choice, memory, imagination, the association of ideas, and reason, though in very different degrees. The individuals of the same species graduate in intellect from absolute imbecility to high excellence. They are also liable to insanity, though far less often than in the case of man. (
