Hence the question arises: Can an objective metaphysics be established through the analysis of sense modifications? We shall examine this problem in the philosophical teachings of those philosophers called the Empiricists.

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.

The relationship between philosophers and scientists in Japan. We have to mention something about the relationship between philosophers of science and scientists in Japan. As I have briefly indicated, the movement of logical empiricism was developed by cooperation of scientists and philosophers. To make sure, let me mention the names of scientists in the Vienna Circle: Hans Hahn (mathematician), Philipp Frank (physicist), Otto Neurath (economist), Kurt Goedel (mathematician), and sometimes Karl Menger (economist) was associated with the Circle. And Moritz Schlick, the founder, was trained as a physicist under Max Planck (one of the founders of quantum theory), and Schlick occupied the chair of the Philosophy of Inductive Sciences in the University of Vienna-the same chair Mach and Boltzmann occupied before him. Now, how was the situation in Japan in this respect? It seems that similar things happened in Japan too. Nobushige Sawada (the former president of Philosophy of Science Society Japan) witnesses that a series of philosophical symposia were held in 50's, and mathematicians, physicists, and philosophers gathered in order to discuss common themes. However, a famous physicist disliked "old fashioned" philosophers who came from Kyoto and uttered unintelligible words*; and this physicist consulted younger philosophers (including Sawada) with better understanding of science, and proposed to make another group for discussion, which lasted, eventually, for well over ten years, until the physicist died. Such activities as this prepared the ground for establishing a professional association for philosophy of science in Japan.

28. Logical Empiricism A number of young Japanese philosophers were stimulated by this and began to studyAmerican philosophy and logical empiricism; as you may know, most of the http://www.bun.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~suchii/philsci_j2.html

2. Introduction of LOGICAL EMPIRICISM into Japan What is logical empiricism This is a philosophical movement initiated by a number of philosophically minded scientists and scientifically minded philosophers in 1920's in Vienna and Berlin. For instance, Moritz Schlick, Otto Neurath, and Rudolf Carnap are among the most important members. This movement is best known as "the Logical Positivism" or "the Vienna Circle". Although there were a wide variety of opinions among the members, the most salient features of logical empiricism are often summarized as follows. (1) As regards the general theory of knowedge , they supported empiricism, i.e. the position that holds that our knowledge comes essentially from experience. (2) As regards logic and mathematics which were the stumbling block for traditional empiricism (since logical or mathematical knowledge do not seem to depend on experience), they adopt the new view of logic developed by Frege, Russell and Whitehead. Logical truth is analytically true, that is "true by virtue of the meanings of the words contained in the proposition", and gives no information about the empirical world; for instance, "this is a chalk or is not a chalk" is trivially true because the predicate "is a chalk" can only be affirmed or denied about anything. Frege-Russsell's logicism about mathematics tried to extend this view to mathematics, insisting that mathematics can be reduced to logic, and hence is also analytically true.

29. An Essay On Philosophy By Blupete. Some would restrict dualism to the philosophy of Kant, representing a bridgebetween empirical and rationalist views. TOC E- empiricism http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Essays/BluePete/Phil.htm

Philosophy. By Peter Landry. ". . . That is a narrow way of putting it [misery dissolved in thought]: there is no subject to which man can more fitly give his attention, for it deals with the greatest problems that confront his soul, value, God, immortality and the meaning of life." W. Somerset Maugham TOC A Short Note: Quotes: Glossary. [UP] A Short Note On Philosophy. Boswell describes, in his biography of the English lexicographer, where Dr. Johnson , after a forty year absence meets an old class-fellow, Oliver Edwards. They had met by chance in the street. Edwards was at the time of the meeting living on a little farm of about sixty acres, seemingly, quite happy, from season to season, to see his grass, his corn, and his trees growing. He addressed his illustrious friend: "You are a philosopher, Dr. Johnson. I have tried too, in my time, to be a philosopher; but, I don't know how, cheerfulness was always breaking in." Then there is the story of David Hume , who, when he began to be known in the world as a philosopher, was admonished by a Mr. White, a decent rich merchant of London: "I am surprised, Mr. Hume, that a man of your good sense should think of being a philosopher. Why, I did take it into my head to be a philosopher for some time, but tired of it most confoundedly, and very soon gave it up." "Pray, sir", said Mr. Hume, "in what branch of philosophy did you employ your researches? What books did you read? "Books?" said Mr. White; "nay sir, I read no books, but I used to sit whole forenoons a-yawning and poking the fire."

30. Giere: Origins Of Logical Empiricism Logical empiricism remains a strong influence in the philosophy of science, despitethe discipline's shift toward more historical and naturalistic approaches. http://www.upress.umn.edu/Books/G/giere_origins.html

Origins of Logical Empiricism Ronald N. Giere and Alan W. Richardson, editors Establishes a historical framework for the study of logical empiricism. Logical empiricism remains a strong influence in the philosophy of science, despite the discipline's shift toward more historical and naturalistic approaches. This latest volume in the eminent Minnesota Studies in the Philosophy of Science series examines the main features of the intellectual milieu from which logical empiricism sprang, providing the first critical exploration of this context by authors within the Anglo-American analytic tradition of philosophy. These articles challenge the idea that logical empiricism has its origins in traditional British empiricism, pointing instead to a movement of scientific philosophy that flourished in the German-speaking areas of Europe in the first four decades of the twentieth century. The intellectual refugees from the Third Reich who brought logical empiricism to North America did so in an environment influenced by Einstein's new physics, the ascension of modern logic, the birth of the social sciences as rivals to traditional humanistic philosophy, and other large-scale social, political, and cultural themes. The contributors, including some of our most distinguished philosophers and historians of science, emphasize the connections among members of the logical empiricist movement as well as their connections with members of other major intellectual movements of the time. Focusing on the continuing influence of logical empiricism and the vitality of the issues with which its proponents struggled, this important volume provides valuable context to contemporary philosophers of science.
