Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind Wilfrid Sellars, Richard Rorty Study Guide by Robert B. Brandom The most important work by one of America's greatest twentieth-century philosophers, Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind is both the epitome of Wilfrid Sellars' entire philosophical system and a key document in the history of philosophy. First published in essay form in 1956, it helped bring about a sea change in analytic philosophy. It broke the link, which had bound Russell and Ayer to Locke and Humethe doctrine of "knowledge by acquaintance." Sellars' attack on the Myth of the Given in Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind was a decisive move in turning analytic philosophy away from the foundationalist motives of the logical empiricists and raised doubts about the very idea of "epistemology."

45. Empiricism And Rationalism The 1600 s were among the most exciting times for philosophy since ancient The idea of matter is not empirical! This would be elaborated by Berkeley. http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/empvsrat.html

Modern Philosophy: The Enlightenment Dr. C. George Boeree The 1600's were among the most exciting times for philosophy since ancient Athens. Although the power of religion was still immense, we begin to see pockets of tolerance in different places and at different times, where a great mind could really fly. England was fairly tolerant, if only because of its diversity. Holland was the best place to be. A small country fighting off attacks, military and economic, from every side, needed all the support it could get, whatever your religion, denomination, or even heresy. The central issues were the same as those of the ancient Greeks: What is the world made of? How do we know anything for certain? What is the difference between good and evil? But they are now informed with centuries of science, literature, history, multicultural experiences, and, of course, written philosophy. Perhaps we have to admit that the modern philosophers are only elaborating on the ancient Greeks, but what elaboration! Was Rembrandt only doodling? I will approach this era philosopher-by-philosopher, showing, I hope, the "battles" between materialism (e.g. Hobbes) and idealism (Berkeley), between empiricism (Locke) and rationalism (Spinoza), and between faith (Leibniz) and atheism (Bayle).

46. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Empiricism empiricism appears in the history of philosophy in three principal forms (1) Materialism, (2) Sensism, and (3) Positivism. (1) Materialism http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05407a.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... E > Empiricism A B C D ... CICDC - Home of the Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan Empiricism (Lat. empirismus, the standpoint of a system based on experience). Primarily, and in its psychological application, the term signifies the theory that the phenomena of consciousness are simply the product of sensuous experience, i.e. of sensations variously associated and arranged. It is thus distinguished from Nativism or Innatism. Secondarily, and in its logical (epistemological) usage, it designates the theory that all human knowledge is derived exclusively from experience, the latter term meaning, either explicitly or implicitly, external sense-percepts and internal representations and inferences exclusive of any superorganic (immaterial) intellectual factor. In this connection it is opposed to Intellectualism, Rationalism, Apriorism. The two usages evidently designate but two inseparable aspects of one and the same theory the epistemological being the application of the psychological to the problem of knowledge. Empiricism appears in the history of philosophy in three principal forms: (1) Materialism, (2) Sensism, and (3) Positivism.

Pragmatism and the Philosophy of Language Danielle Macbeth Haverford College This article was originally published in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research , Vol. LV, No. 3, September 1995: 501-523, and appears here with the permission of Prof. Macbeth and the editor of PPR Philosophy and Phenomenological Research , and permission has been granted only for it to appear at the Sellars site, and not for it to be used at another site or to be copied multiply. In "Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind" Sellars argues that the notion of "self-authenticating nonverbal episodes" that would provide a foundation for empirical knowledge is a myth; nothing merely causal, not already in conceptual shape, could possibly play the justificatory role required of such a foundation. Rorty takes Quine, in "Two Dogmas" to make the complementary point that the notion of analytic claims true by virtue of meaning, of self-authenticating verbal episodes that might provide a foundation for another sort for knowledge, is again a myth. A third moment in the dismantling of the myth of a foundationthis time for the contentfulness of our thoughts rather than for the truth of our beliefs is due to Rorty himself. As he argues in "Realism and Reference"

Empiricism Excerpts from Gordon Bear's textbook Statistics: A Toolkit for Empiricists There is a useful word for work like surveys and experiments that seeks to generate knowledge by collecting and interpreting observations: empirical . The philosophy that motivates such work, empiricism , offers sound advice to anyone curious about anything: “Go see for yourself. Don’t trust what common sense says. Don’t trust what other people say—not even experts. Make your own observations.” Home Page] [Endeavors] For more about empiricism, read on. Those observations should be collected carefully, for people are prone to errors in perception and judgment and memory. If you rely on only your recollections of your mere impressions, your observations are just barely empirical. Care is also essential in the interpretation of observations, for they can be misleading. But careful observations collected systematically and interpreted prudently foster insights into this complex universe of ours—insights that can take us far beyond common sense, insights that have often proven experts wrong. Enunciated here is the philosophy of science, a unique tradition of inquiry that may be humanity’s finest achievement. Science vastly amplifies the power of our minds and our hands. Through science we have become privy to mysterious secrets of nature, created vaccines that prevent hideous diseases, and flown explorers to the distant moon.

It was inspired primarily by the experimental character of physics and astronomy, to name but two of the influential sciences of the era. Empiricism's soldiers included John Locke, George Berkeley, and David Hume; and as it gradually developed over time in its own right, it naturally broke into separate factions, each of which proceeded in a slightly different direction than the others. Eventually, empiricism reached the twentieth century and begat logical positivism , which would go further than all previous modes of empiricism in its scrutiny of truth and reality.

OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY Fall 2003 Professor John Shook Description This course discusses some primary philosophical issues and figures in Western Philosophy from Hegel onwards. The central topics of this course are in logic, epistemology, philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, and metaphysics. Objectives The 19 th and 20 th centuries witnessed the rise and dominance of epistemology as center stage for philosophical debate. Idealism, materialism, and empiricism competed for supremacy across Europe and North America. The logical stage is prepared by first comparing Hegel with John Stuart Mill. Second, the battle between materialism and idealism in the late 19 th century, played out in the contest over “psychologism” by Frege and Husserl. Third, how Moore, Russell and (early) Wittgenstein made use of logical and analytical techniques to argue against idealism, setting in place the characteristic methods of "analytic philosophy." Fourth, the pragmatist revolt against both absolute idealism and analytic realism. Fifth, the appropriation of classical epistemological issues into the analytic tradition by the logical positivists and empiricists, including Ayer, Schlick, Neurath, Carnap, and Hempel. This will lead, sixth, to a study of some major contributions to the analytic tradition found in the work of Lewis, Sellars, Austin, Quine, Davidson, Putnam, and Hare. Required Texts J.

57. Empiricism empiricism is a broad tradition in Western philosophy. empiricism is distinguished from the philosophical tradition of rationalism, which holds that http://personal.ecu.edu/mccartyr/american/leap/empirici.htm

Empiricism What is empiricism? The word "empiricism" is derived from the Greek empeiria , the Latin translation of which is experientia , from which in turn we derive the word "experience." Empiricism also comes from empiric - a doctor who relies on practical experience. And in seventeenth- and eighteenth- century medicine, empiricism was synonymous with quackery, and in literary criticism the term is also generally employed to characterize an uninformed judgment. Empiricism is a broad tradition in Western philosophy. The basic thesis of empiricism is that legitimate human knowledge arises from what is provided to the mind by the senses or by introspective awareness through experience It seems an interesting parallel to note that just as the term "experience" is ultimately derived from the term "empiricism," empiricists maintain that all knowledge is ultimately derived from experience-sense experience. Empiricism versus Rationalism Empiricism is distinguished from the philosophical tradition of rationalism , which holds that human reason apart from experience is a basis for some kinds of knowledge. Knowledge attainable by reason alone, prior to experience, is called
