Themes in Contemporary Analytic Philosophy as Reflected in the Work of Monty Python Gary L. Hardcastle Department of Philosophy University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point Stevens Point, WI U.S.A. [The talk below was written in response to a request from the Philosophy Club at Virginia Tech, and has been delivered there three times in the last few years. Comments from Python fans, philosophers, interested bystanders, raving loonies, and any combination of the above are welcomed! Email me! My aim in this talk is to present a comprehensive overview of each and every one of the main themes endured by analytic philosophy in the last sixty years or so, and to argue the bold historical claim that the whole lot is well represented-indeed, often best represented-in the work of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin, collectively and henceforth referred to as "Monty Python." Since I have all of fifty minutes to make my case, I expect we'll have time for a song at the end. So let's get to it. Analytic philosophy has spent the last seventy years engaged in two successive revolts. If you didn't know this, don't feel bad-philosophers engaged in revolt look pretty much exactly like philosophers not engaged in revolt. They go to the office, teach introduction to philosophy, make a few phone calls, have office hours, work on a rough draft, and head home. There's no storming of the parliament building, ripping up of city streets, or lobbing of Molotov cocktails for your revolting philosopher, or, I should say, the philosopher in revolt.

On the History of Modern Philosophy Empiricism has been variously understood as a theory of experience, of knowledge, of events, of the formation of a human nature, and of relations. In one or more of these forms it is a conception of mind and world that post-Kantian European or continental philosophy has had a critical relation to since Kant and Hegel: does empiricism need sublating or should it be refined in new and novel ways? We welcome papers from postgraduates currently working on the nature and possibilities of empiricism. Topics might include: The nature and scope of transcendental empiricism Deconstruction and empiricism Empiricism and pragmatism Phenomenology and empiricism Deleuze and a logic of multiplicities Kant and his empiricist critics Hegel and the search for a concrete metaphysics The relation between metaphysics and empiricism (e.g. the work of Bergson)

From AxisofLogic.com Editor's Choice The Bush Decision-Making Apparatus. The Death of Empiricism and Natural Philosophy. By Dr. Gerry Lower* Apr 16, 2004, 12:37 Every thought emergent, every word issued, every action taken is in the past. Everything in the future remains to be seen. The only thing that actually exists in the universe is the instantaneous " here and now ." Everything else is a memory or an anticipation. Within the " here and now " we remember the past and we anticipate the future, we reassess the past and we reconsider the future. As we divide time on both sides of the "here and now" into past and future, we likewise divide human thought in the "here and now" into a priori thought (before the fact) and a posteriori thought (after the fact). The Bush administration, for example, considered al Qaida terrorism before the fact of 9/11. The empirical evidence was reviewed and the Bush administration erroneously assigned a low priority to Osama bin Laden and al Qaida terrorism "in the U.S." The call was made and the call was in error. The Bush administration also considered al Qaida terrorism after the fact of 9/11. The empirical evidence was reviewed and the Bush administration erroneously assigned a high priority to the military removal of Saddam Hussein for his involvement in funding terrorism and building WMD for use against the U.S. The call was made and the call was in error.

Language and philosophy have an intimate connection to one another; without a philosophical examination of the meanings and structure of language, we cannot easily ascertain the objective truth of the statements we make, nor can we usefully discuss abstract concepts. The philosophy of language seeks to understand the concepts expressed by language and to find a system by which it can effectively and accurately do so. This is more difficult than it appears at first; philosophers are looking for a theory of language which avoids the minute errors of meaning and usage which occur in all discussions of abstract concepts and which tend to lead those discussions into complicated dead-ends.

If you think special symbols are not displaying correctly, see our guide Displaying Special Characters last substantive content change AUG The Encyclopedia Now Needs Your Support Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free Rationalism vs. Empiricism The dispute between rationalism and empiricism concerns the extent to which we are dependent upon sense experience in our effort to gain knowledge. Rationalists claim that there are significant ways in which our concepts and knowledge are gained independently of sense experience. Empiricists claim that sense experience is the ultimate source of all our concepts and knowledge. Rationalists generally develop their view in two ways. First, they argue that there are cases where the content of our concepts or knowledge outstrips the information that sense experience can provide. Second, they constuct accounts of how reason in some form or other provides that additional information about the world. Empiricists present complementary lines of thought. First, they develop accounts of how experience provides the information that rationalists cite, insofar as we have it in the first place. (Empiricists will at times opt for skepticism as an alternative to rationalism: if experience cannot provide the concepts or knowledge the rationalists cite, then we don't have them.) Second, empiricists attack the rationalists' accounts of how reason is a source of concepts or knowledge.

93. Glossary Of Terms: Em empiricism. Doctrine that sense experience is the sole source of knowledge. empiricism originated in England in the seventeenth century with Bacon, http://www.marxists.org/glossary/terms/e/m.htm

MIA Encyclopedia of Marxism : Glossary of Terms Em Empiricism Doctrine that sense experience is the sole source of knowledge. Empiricism originated in England in the seventeenth century with Bacon Hobbes and Locke , when it was a materialist Rationalist critique of Empiricism, and particularly the idealist critique of Berkeley forced empiricism to the scepticism of Hume : experience was the only source of knowledge, but could not give us "certain knowledge". For example, we may know that the Sun has always risen in the East, and this may be good enough for practical purposes, but Hume explained that we cannot know for certain that the Sun will rise in the East tommorow. Empiricism is characterised, on the one hand, by an uncritical attitude towards the categories through which Experience is grasped, and on the other by rejection of the significance of Reason in acquiring knowledge. This is why, historically, Empiricism could not answer the critique of Rationalism and fell into scepticism . Experience does not by itself give necessary and universal knowledge. Experience must be supplemented by the activity of Reason. The chief defect of Empiricism is that it views experience passively , whereas in order to retain a consistent materialist understanding of experience it is necessary to recognise that it is the practical activity of people changing the world which is the condition and source of knowledge. Further, knowledge only arises in and through definite social relations, through which people produce the forms of activity under which experience can be grasped; but for Empricism, experience is not a social activity, but simply a passive, sensual process.

Encyclopedia empiricism ĕmpÄ­r Ä­sÄ­zəm ) [Gr.,=experience], philosophical doctrine that all knowledge is derived from experience. For most empiricists, experience includes inner experience—reflection upon the mind and its operations—as well as sense perception. This position is opposed to rationalism in that it denies the existence of innate ideas. According to the empiricist, all ideas are derived from experience; therefore, knowledge of the physical world can be nothing more than a generalization from particular instances and can never reach more than a high degree of probability. Most empiricists recognize the existence of at least some a priori truths, e.g., those of mathematics and logic. John Stuart Mill was the first to treat even these as generalizations from experience. Empiricism has been the dominant but not the only tradition in British philosophy. Among its other leading advocates were John

Internet Sources Next we turn to the philosophy of Immanuel Kant , a watershed figure who forever altered the course of philosophical thinking in the Western tradition. Long after his thorough indoctrination into the quasi-scholastic German appreciation of the metaphysical systems of Leibniz and Wolff , Kant said, it was a careful reading of David Hume that "interrupted my dogmatic slumbers and gave my investigations in the field of speculative philosophy a quite new direction." Having appreciated the full force of such skeptical arguments, Kant supposed that the only adequate response would be a "Copernican Revolution" in philosophy, a recognition that the appearance of the external world depends in some measure upon the position and movement of its observers. This central idea became the basis for his life-long project of developing a critical philosophy that could withstand them. Kant's aim was to move beyond the traditional dichotomy between rationalism and empiricism. The

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.

Introduction to Philosophy:Empiricism From Wikibooks Empiricism is a philosophical idea based on the fact that all reliable knowledge about the world is gained in the process of experience. Famous empiricists were Hume, Locke and Berkely, basing themselves on ideas already postulated by Aristotle, that we are born with the Tabula Rasa which receives throughout our lives information on which it can base all thinking and knowing. The movement of empiricism was in part a countermovement to what Descartes and Spinoza had proposed as rationalism.

Let X make a statement Let breath pass through those cracked lips A.k.a. logical empiricism, neo-positivism. A philosophical movement - if you will, an anti-philosophical movement - inspired by Russell , Wittgenstein and a general disgust with metaphysics and Europe's going to hell after the Great War; British empricism in Continental dress. The seed was a discussion group called the Vienna Circle, which introduced itself to the world with a 1929 manifesto modestly titled The Scientific World-View: The Vienna Circle. Immensely conscious of itself as a movement, it spread, by fission and by combination with similar, independent groups, into Poland (especially at Lwow), Czechslovakia, Germany, Britain (where A. J. Ayer was, so to speak, its apostle), Scandanvia, North America. The Vienna Circle remained particularly notorious, attracting such luminaries or luminaries-to-be as Tarski, von Neumann Wiener (if memory serves) and Quine (who is, in some ways, the last survivor of the school). As Central and Eastern Europe collapsed in the '30s the Logical Postivists, liberals and social democrats to a man, were forced to flee westward, washing ashore in places ranging from the University of Chicago to a British public housing agency; or perish, like most of the Poles. The formal movement did not survive the Second World War, but as a general orientation, increasingly known as "logical empiricism", it lasted rather longer, say into the early sixties. It profoundly affected the whole of

100. An Essay On Philosophy By Blupete. Certain philosophers would call themselves empiricists though claiming that there are certain a priori truths (eg, principles of mathematics and logic); 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."
