Search WT Search by Theme: Philosophy Religion Science General Also Visit Subwebs for Reviews by Theme Religious Studies Philosophy Science General Empiricism The Empirical Stance by Bas C. 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.

Compte-rendu de lecture DEA Histoire et philosophie des sciences Paris I Sorbonne UFR 10 Cours de Physique Contemporaine et Philosophie Transcendantale par Michel Bitbol Bas C. VAN FRAASSEN LOIS ET SYMETRIES Paris : Vrin – Par Nazim Fatès FatesNazim@aol.com Mars 2000 Introduction Avec Lois et Symétries , Bas Van Fraassen, logicien et philosophe des sciences, livre au public ce qu’il considère comme la première partie d’une réflexion centrée sur la mécanique quantique. Cette réflexion, qui se poursuit dans Quantum Mechanics : An empiricist view présente une théorie de la connaissance qu’il nomme ‘empirisme constructif’, qui reprend les idées développées dans son premier livre phare : The Scientific Image . Dans ces trois ouvrages, Van Fraassen prend ouvertement position contre le courant dominant des années 1970 : le positivisme logique, alors qualifié de « point de vue orthodoxe » et se démarque des autres courants plus récents tels que le réalisme ou le relativisme. Lois et symétries est l’occasion pour l’auteur de présenter son point de vue en se basant sur l’idée que le concept de symétrie peut remplacer celui de ‘loi de la nature’ dans la théorie de la connaissance. Voilà un pari qui, à première vue semble tenir de la gageure car comme le rappelle Van Fraassen lui-même dans sa préface: « L’idée qu’il existe des lois e la nature est loin d’être la propriété exclusive des philosophes. La pensée courante tient souvent pour un truisme l’affirmation que cette idée est précisément ce qui permet de comprendre la nature de la science ».

Home Catalogue Related Areas: Physics New titles Email For updates on new titles in: Physics Physics and our View of the World Edited by Jan Hilgevoord Paperback In stock One of the central questions of physics is whether or not a Theory of Everything is possible. Many physicists believe that such a theory might be attainable, a belief which has led to speculation that we might one day ‘know the mind of God’. But what would be the philosophical implications of having a blueprint for the Universe? In this fascinating book, a group of distinguished physicists and philosophers examine not only the claims of modern physics, but also the impact these claims have on our view of the world. Based on talks given at the Third Erasmus Ascension Symposium in The Netherlands, the book contains contributions from John Barrow, Paul Davies, Dennis Dieks, Willem Drees, Paul Feyerabend, Bas van Fraassen, Mary Hesse, Gerard ’t Hooft and Ernan McMullin.At a time when many people view science with deep suspicion, this book will be of great interest to anyone wishing to explore the complex relationships that exist between physics and philosophy, theology and ideology. Reviews ‘the articles are mostly extremely well written and make for enjoyable and stimulating reading. The style is straightforward and without scholarly pedantry and jargon; the writers let the big ideas speak for themselves.’Observatory

Worksheet: Against Scientific Realism Inspirational Thought for the Day: "[I]ncest is not immoral, for touching your mother's big toe with your little finger is not immoral, and all the rest differs only by degree." Sextus Empiricus, as reported by Bas van Fraassen The Big Issues: Do scientific theories provide a true account of the world? If we accept scientific theories as true, must we believe that the entities they postulate really exist? In Particular: Does acceptance of a scientific theory entail commitment to the truth of its theoretical claims? What is "scientific realism," and what are the chief arguments against it? Can the success of science be explained without being realists about theories and the entities they postulate? Does the success of our theories count as evidence for realism? Reading: "Arguments Concerning Scientific Realism," by Bas C. van Fraassen (pp. 1064-1087). Key Concepts: scientific realism; constructive empiricism; empirical adequacy; observable-unobservable distinction; inference to the best explanation; Directions: Answer any three of the following questions

Philosophers' Animal Pages I hope to be able to add to this not-yet-quite-impressive list in due time (and by all means let me know if there are any omissions.) I note that there is a relative glut of cats and a surplus of dogs; and, I must add, given their relative worth in the scheme of things, perhaps a shade too much of a cockatoo presence. In alphabetical order ... Henry Fitzgerald's dog page Yes, I know that's where you've just come from, but there has to be at least one dog link. Cathy Legg's cat page ... Which I have already told you about. Josh Parsons's cockatoo page Now with pictures! (I shouldn't inject editorial comment, but the cockatoos depicted are all sulphur-crested cockatoos, which are, by a happy coincidence, the largest, loudest, most numerous, smartest and most beautiful species of cockatoo in Australia. I don't know how well Josh's thesis would hold over cockatoos in general.) Deborah Russell's cat page. ... Which I have already told you about. Bas van Fraassen's cat page. Yes, the Bas van Fraassen.

57. Causal Theory Of Time van fraassen, bas C. (1985) An Introduction to the Philosophy of Time andSpace, 2nd ed., Columbia University Press, 1985. BACK TO SPACETIME. http://www.bun.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~suchii/causalTT.html

Spacetime Causal Theory of Time Causal Theory of Time Sklar says "the primary philosophical issue we will be concerned with is the question of the reducibility of temporal structure to causal structure, the so-called question of the causal theory of time" (243). Although this question is pursued in Sklar's chapter IV, it may be useful to have a rough outline of the causal theory of time in advance. And for this purpose, van Fraassen 's chapter 6 of An Introduction to the Philosophy of Time and Space (2nd ed., 1985) is quite good. He reviews Reichenbach's earlier view ( The Philosophy of Space and Time ) and later view ( The Direction of Time ), Gruenbaum's versions of the theory ( Philosophical Problems of Space and Time , and Modern Science and Zeno's Paradoxes ), and goes on to an extension of the theory to a spacetime theory. The review is clear and readable, touching also on essential criticisms of each theory. References Gruenbaum, A. (1974) Philosophical Problems of Space and Time , 2nd. ed., Reidel, 1974.

Accueil Nouveautés Catalogue Historique ... Contacts Critique, n° 661-662 « Sciences dures ? » 160 p., 13 € ISBN : 2.7073.1784.5 Bulletin d'abonnement Présentation Comment parler des sciences “dures” ? C'est un paradoxe : la vulgarisation scientifique renforce chez le profane le sentiment d'une science savante et difficile, excessivement technique, que le spécialiste ne pourrait justement que lui présenter sous une forme vulgaire. Quant aux réflexions consacrées aux enjeux politiques, éthiques et sociaux de la recherche et de ses applications, elles alimentent souvent le lieu commun d'une science aride et froide, inhospitalière et dangereuse. L'opposition des sciences " dures " aux sciences " humaines " hérite de ces préjugés, comme si les sciences de la nature ne pouvaient être qu' " inhumaines ", et les sciences de l'homme étrangères à la vraie rigueur. Pourtant, dans les quartiers des philosophes, des historiens, des anthropologues ou des sociologues, se dessine depuis quelque temps un tout autre rapport du discours des sciences humaines à la réalité des sciences dures. Les philosophes prêtent une attention plus soutenue aux opérations concrètes de la pensée scientifique, tandis que les sciences sociales s'efforcent, sous la bannière des science studies , de présenter les sciences comme le résultat d'un processus de fabrication inséré dans le fonctionnement de la société.
