The alternate most often offered is physicalist and the position is thus often called 'eliminative materialism Introduction Origins of the Debate History of the Idea ... References Introduction Like its predecessor, the mind-brain identity theory, eliminativism claims that it is an empirical fact, rather than a conceptual necessity, that mental states are identical with brain states, and that this fact is justified only by scientific evidence. But most historians of science now believe that scientific progress usually does not establish identities between the entities described by old theories and new ones. The eliminativists argue that there is thus no reason to assume that such identities will be found when science develops a detailed alternative to the folk psychological view of mental states. Most criticisms of eliminativism center around the claim that folk psychology is somehow different in kind from the theories that the eliminativists are advocating as replacements. Sometimes the argument is made that mental entities are different in kind from theories, because they are directly given to us, or are part of practical activities rather than theoretical discourse. It is also argued that folk psychology must remain autonomous with respect to physical or neuroscientific theories. Some justify claims of autonomy on the assertion that psychology cannot be reduced to neuroscience. Others say that folk psychology is irreducibly normative, and because science is only descriptive, reducing folk psychology to a scientific theory would be attempting to derive an

A Note on "Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind" by ROBERT H. GRIMM DUKE UNIVERSITY Published in Philosophical Studies In "Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind," Wilfrid Sellars launches "a general critique of the entire framework of givenness," a broad attack on what he calls the "Myth of the Given" (p. 254). In so doing, he questions the notion that empirical knowledge has its foundation in knowledge of a privileged stratum of particular facts, explicitly pointing out that "if observation reports are construed as actions, if their correctness is interpreted as the correctness of an action, and if the authority of an observation report is construed as the fact that making it is 'following a rule' in the proper sense of this phrase, then we are face to face with givenness in its most straightforward form" (p. 296). For, he says, on these stipulations "one is committed to a stratum of authoritative non-verbal episodes ('awareness') the authority of which accrues to a super-structure of verbal actions, provided that the expressions occurring in these actions are properly used" (p. 296), What is his alternative? He carefully rejects the notion that a token, or utterance, of an expression, "This is green" for instance, "expresses observational knowledge" if and only if the circumstances are of a certain kind, i.e. the utterance "is a manifestation of a tendency to produce overt or covert tokens of "This is green' given a certain set if and only if a green object is being looked at in standard conditions" (p. 297). This won't do, be says, because "it is the knowledge or belief that the circumstances are of a certain kind, and not the mere fact that they are of this kind, which contributes to bringing about the action" of an observation report (p. 296).

Logical Positivism Logical Positivism is a philosophical school that originated in the twentieth century as a reaction against nineteenth century Idealism. Also known as Logical Empiricism and Neo-positivism, this philosophical school was born in Austria and Germany during the 1920s under the influence of David Hume , Bertrand Russell, and the early writings of Ludwig Wittgenstein . Moritz Schlick was the founder of the Vienna Circle , a logical positivist study group in Austria, but another member of the school, Rudolf Carnap , was perhaps the leading exponent of Logical Positivism. Other notable logical positivists were Hans Reichenbach , the founder of the Berlin Circle that was similar to the Vienna Circle, Herbert Feigl, Philipp Frank, Kurt Grelling, Hans Hahn, Carl Gustav Hempel , Victor Kraft, Otto Neurath, Alfred Jules Ayer, and Friedrich Waismann. The word “positivism” denotes adherence to empiricism, which is the view that all human knowledge originates in or is based up only sensory experience or perception; there are no transcendental or a priori means of acquiring synthetic knowledge. Logical positivists used a strict Verifiability Principle to reject as meaningless all metaphysical, theological, ethical and aesthetic claims (and questions). The claims are not verifiable. Only logical reasoning and empirical experience, the Logical Positivists asserted, can lead to true knowledge.

Meaning and Verifiability ... 9. References and Further Reading 1. Life Rudolf Carnap was born on May 18, 1891, in Ronsdorf, Germany. In 1898, after his father's death, his family moved to Barmen, where Carnap studied at the Gymnasium. From 1910 to1914 he studied philosophy, physics and mathematics at the universities of Jena and Freiburg. He studied Kant under Bruno Bauch and later recalled how a whole year was devoted to the discussion of The Critique of Pure Reason . Carnap became especially interested in Kant’s theory of space. Carnap took three courses from Gottlob Frege in 1910, 1913 and 1914. Frege was professor of mathematics at Jena. During those courses, Frege expounded his system of logic and its applications in mathematics. However, Carnap’s principal interest at that time was in physics, and by 1913 he was planning to write his dissertation on thermionic emission. His studies were interrupted by World War I and Carnap served at the front until 1917. He then moved to Berlin and studied the theory of relativity. (At that time, Albert Einstein was professor of physics at the University of Berlin.) After the war, Carnap developed a new dissertation, this time on an axiomatic system for the physical theory of space and time. He submitted a draft to physicist Max Wien, director of the Institute of Physics at the University of Jena, and to Bruno Bauch. Both found the work interesting, but Wien told Carnap the dissertation was pertinent to philosophy, not to physics, while Bauch said it was relevant to physics. Carnap then chose to write a dissertation under the direction of Bauch on the theory of space from a philosophical point of view. Entitled Der Raum (Space), the work was clearly influenced by Kantian philosophy. Submitted in 1921, it was published the following year in a supplemental issue of Kant-Studien.

Willard Quine (1951) The Verification Theory and Reductionism Source The Emergence of Logical Empiricism (1996) publ. Garland Publishing Inc. The second half of Quine's contribution to series is reproduced here. ... What, it may be asked, of the verification theory of meaning? This phrase has established itself so firmly as a catchword of empiricism that we should be very unscientific indeed not to look beneath it for a possible key to the problem of meaning and the associated problems. The verification theory of meaning, which has been conspicuous in the literature from Peirce onward, is that the meaning of a statement it the method of empirically confirming or infirming it. An analytic statement is that limiting case which is confirmed no matter what. ... we can as well pass over the question of meanings as entities and move straight to sameness of meaning, or synonymy. Then what the verification theory says is that statements arc synonymous if and only if they are alike in point of method of empirical confirmation or infirmation. So, if the verification theory can be accepted as an adequate account of statement synonymy, the notion of analyticity is saved after all. However, let us reflect. Statement synonymy is said to be likeness of method of empirical confirmation or infirmation. just what are these methods which are to be compared for likeness? What, in other words, is the nature of the relationship between a statement and the experiences which contribute to or detract from its confirmation?

Also called logical empiricism Encyclopedia logical positivism, also known as logical or scientific empiricism, modern school of philosophy that attempted to introduce the methodology and precision of mathematics and the natural sciences into the field of philosophy. The movement, which began in the early 20th cent., was the fountainhead of the modern trend that considers philosophy an analytical, rather than a speculative, inquiry. It began in the group called the Vienna Circle, which formed around Moritz Schlick when he occupied (1920s) a chair of philosophy at the Univ. of Vienna. Among its members were the philosophers Friedrich Waismann, Otto Neurath, Rudolf Carnap, Herbert Feigl, and Victor Kraft, and the mathematicians Hans Hahn, Carl Menger, and Kurt G¶del. The movement soon had a widespread following in Europe and the United States. Among those philosophers whose work was influenced by the Vienna Circle are A. J. Ayer and Gilbert Ryle .

Empiricism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Empiricism greek εμπειρισμός, from empirical, latin experientia - the experience), is the philosophical doctrine that all human knowledge comes at first from senses and experience. Empiricism denies that humans have innate ideas or that anything is knowable prior to any experience. Empiricism is contrasted with continental rationalism , epitomized by Ren© Descartes . According to the rationalist, philosophy should be performed via introspection and a priori deductive reasoning . Names associated with empiricism include St. Thomas Aquinas Aristotle Thomas Hobbes (also see naturalism Francis Bacon John Locke George Berkeley , and David Hume It is generally regarded as being at the heart of the modern scientific method , that our theories should be based on our observations of the world rather than on intuition or faith ; that is, empirical research and a posteriori inductive reasoning rather than purely deductive logic Empirical is an adjective often used in conjunction with science , both the natural and social sciences , which means the use of working hypotheses which are capable of being disproved using observation or experiment (ie: ultimately through experience In a second sense empirical in science may be synonymous with experimental .

33. Analytic Philosophy - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia The tradition of Analytic philosophy began with Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell, GE Moore, Logical positivism and logical empiricism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_philosophy

Analytic philosophy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Analytic philosophy is the dominant philosophical movement of English-speaking countries. The term analytic philosophy is slightly ambiguous and generally has three meanings: doctrine, method, and tradition. The doctrines most often called "analytic philosophy" are logical positivism and logical atomism ; more loosely, the term can refer to ordinary language philosophy common sense philosophy , or some amalgam of the above. This usage made some sense until the 1950s, when most prominent "analytic" philosophers were commonly engaged in a few related research programmes and committed to similar basic theses; but it is increasingly misleading, as very few contemporary analytic philosophers adhere to any of these schools, let alone all of them. The method of Analytic philosophy is a generalized approach to philosophy. Originally associated with the projects of logical analysis , it nowadays emphasizes a clear, precise approach with particular weight being placed upon argumentation and evidence, avoidance of ambiguity, and attention to detail. This has made many philosophical subjects more suited to specialization and precision work, and also made many writings more technical than they were in the past. Arguably it has also resulted in philosophy having less of the sweeping "meaning of life" scope that is popularly associated with the term, and the critics of analytic philosophy sometimes level this point against it. On the other hand, it has arguably added focus and rigor, allowing for debate and a reduction in philosophers talking past each other.

Until the 20th century the term empiricism In recent years the term empiricism has taken on a more flexible meaning, and now is used in connection with any philosophical system that finds all of its materials in experience. In the United States, William James called his own philosophy radical empiricism, and John Dewey coined the term immediate empiricism for his view of experience. The term empirical laws is applied to those laws that express relationships observed to exist among phenomena, without implying the explanation or cause of the phenomena. Return to Ron's Home Page

37. Logical Empiricism, Continued Nobushige Sawada (the former president of philosophy of Science Society Japan) philosophy and the logical empiricism (unsuccessfully, in my opinion). http://www.bun.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~suchii/philsci_j3.html

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.

Origins of Logical Empiricism Ronald N. Giere and Alan W. Richardson, editors $49.95 Cloth/jacket ISBN 0-8166-2834-3 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.

June 2003 Home Permissions Books in Print Add to Cart ... Philosophy LOGICAL EMPIRICISM Historical and Contemporary Perspectives Edited by Paolo Parrini, Wesley C. Salmon, and Merilee H. Salmon "In recent years logical empiricism and its development have become an important topic for historical reflection. The historical perspective allows us to be more detached than was possible before, to overcome old, crude caricatures and stereotypes, and to replace them with more nuanced analyses and the exposition of subtle variations in this philosophical movement, as well as in its relation to other such movements. In addition, it allows us to put related developments in contemporary philosophy in a new light. Seen as a whole, the articles in this collection achieve all of the above. The volume should not be missed by anyone interested in logical empiricism, or in the history and legacy of analytic philosophy more generally." Erich Reck, University of California, Riverside Logical empiricism, a program for the study of science that attempted to provide logical analyses of the nature of scientific concepts, the relation between evidence and theory, and the nature of scientific explanation, formed among the famed Vienna and Berlin Circles of the 1920s and '30s and dominated the philosophy of science throughout much of the twentieth century. In recent decades, a "post-positivist" philosophy, deriding empiricism and its claims in light of more recent historical and sociological discoveries, has been the ascendant mode of philosophy and other disciplines in the arts and sciences.
