From a Logical Point of View: Nine Logico-Philosophical Essays, Second Revised Edition

Product Information

The most forthright approach, the Classical or Aristotelian format is closest to traditional essay structures. It follows a simple layout: explain your argument, explain your opposition’s argument, and then present your evidence, all the while relying on credibility ( ethos ), emotion ( pathos ), and reasoning ( logos ) to influence the reader. Rogerian

Aristotle had a gift for explaining things clearly and logically, and the Aristotelian argumentative essay structure leans into that. Also known as Classical or Classic, the Aristotelian format is the most straightforward: the writer presents their argument first and then refutes the opposing argument. a b Putnam, H. Mathematics, Matter and Method. Philosophical Papers, vol. 1. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1975. 2nd. ed., 1985. no particular philosophical implications. 6. Underdetermination of Theory by Evidence; Indeterminacy of Translation Whereas propositional attitudes approach to analyze points of view internally, the "location/access" approach analyzes points of view externally, by their role. The term "access" refers to the statement of Liz Gutierrez that "points of views, or perspectives, are ways of having access to the world and to ourselves", and the term "location" is in reference to the provided quotation of Jon Moline that points of view are "ways of viewing things and events from certain locations". Moline rejects the notion that points of view are reducible to some rules based on some theories, maxims or dogmas. Moline considers the concept of "location" in two ways: in a direct way as a vantage point, and in an extended way, the way how a given vantage point provides a perspective, i.e., influences the perception. [11] Lejewski also points out that free logic additionally can handle the problem of the empty set for statements like ∀ x F x → ∃ x F x {\displaystyle \forall x\,Fx\rightarrow \exists x\,Fx} . Quine had considered the problem of the empty set unrealistic, which left Lejewski unsatisfied.

Just as he challenged the dominant analytic–synthetic distinction, Quine also took aim at traditional normative epistemology. According to Quine, traditional epistemology tried to justify the sciences, but this effort (as exemplified by Rudolf Carnap) failed, and so we should replace traditional epistemology with an empirical study of what sensory inputs produce what theoretical outputs: [45]

In this paper, Quine explicitly connected each of the three main medieval ontological positions, namely realism/ conceptualism/ nominalism, with one of three dominant schools in modern philosophy of mathematics: logicism/ intuitionism/ formalism respectively. Likewise, this format is best if you’re writing for readers who are already biased toward an opposing position, such as if you’re arguing against societal norms. ToulminB.

They don't exist really (they are not there). Physical conceptual schemes simplify our accounts of experience, because myriad scattered sense events come to be associated with simple so-called objects. This book is difficult for me to review, mainly because there were so many parts of it that I did not fully understand. Quine is not writing for the general reader; he is writing for professional philosophers—a category that excludes people such as myself, who have not taken a single course in formal logic. Nevertheless, there are some parts of this book—particularly the first two essays, “On What There Is” and “Two Dogmas of Empiricism”—which can be understood by the persistent amateur. mature view, and of the strongest arguments that he has for it. 3.1 Carnap’s Principle of Tolerance and Quine’s Objections Quine was politically conservative, but the bulk of his writing was in technical areas of philosophy removed from direct political issues. [17] He did, however, write in defense of several conservative positions: for example, he wrote in defense of moral censorship; [18] while, in his autobiography, he made some criticisms of American postwar academics.
