84. Philosophy As Biography: Biography as Philosophy. American Pragmatism and the Social Context of Ideas the way their ideas are themselves shaped by a specific social context. http://www.american-philosophy.org/archives/2005_conference/final_papers/sinclai

Biography as Philosophy: American Pragmatism and the Social Context of Ideas Traditional paper submission This essay considers how the details of a philosopher’s life might help contribute to a better understanding of their philosophy. Drawing on resources from the American Pragmatist tradition, it argues that evaluating the worth of intellectual biographies requires noting the dangers of both the genetic fallacy and the ‘acontextual’ fallacy, which claims that the social context of ideas is irrelevant to the assessment of a philosopher’s view. Avoiding these fallacies requires appreciating the importance of isolating those social factors that clearly have philosophical relevance. Dalton’s recent intellectual biography illustrates this point by indicating how Dewey’s social relationships help clarify the scientific underpinnings of his philosophical projects. This social context helps us recognize that Dewey not only appeals to empirical science for resources that support his claims, but he further adopts scientific terms as tools for the elaboration and characterization of philosophical problems and their proper solutions. There never was a philosopher who has merited the name for the simple reason that he glorified the tendencies and characteristics of his social environment; just as it is true that there never has been a philosopher who has not seized upon certain aspects of the life of his time and idealized them.

88. S. Ireton: Review Of Safranski, Nietzsche: A Philosophical Biography As for its specific content, Safranski s book explores numerous issues that Nietzsche s life and work, biography and philosophy, are often blurred. http://rmmla.wsu.edu/ereview/56.2/reviews/ireton.asp

Download the PDF version of this article if you wish to view it or print it out with the same formatting as appears in the print version of the Rocky Mountain Review (Requires Adobe Acobat Reader Nietzsche: A Philosophical Biography Sean Ireton University of Missouri-Columbia Schopenhauer and the Wild Years of Philosophy and Martin Heidegger: Between Good and Evil ). In his latest effort, planned to coincide with the centennial of Nietzsche's death (the original German version appeared in 2000), Safranski relies not only on texts published during the philosopher's lifetime but gives equal interpretive weight to posthumously released fragments, letters, and journals. Through this multi-textual approach, Safranski effectively illuminates the existential urgency of Nietzsche's ideas, which were after all conceived more in artistic passion than philosophic contemplation. The overall strength of Safranski's Nietzsche lies in its near perfect mesh of analytic and synthetic observations. The author, in other words, deftly breaks down Nietzschean concepts for even the lay reader's understanding and places them within the broader cultural framework of nineteenth-century Europe. Moreover, a third narrative strand often enters the mix: Safranski traces the genesis of important notions (e.g., the will to power, eternal recurrence, and the ) from their first to final appearance in Nietzsche's writings. This three-pronged approach analytic, synthetic, and genetic helps create a more totalized vision of Nietzsche than can be found in most other full-length studies.

Arrhenius studied physics under Erik Edlund at the Stockholm , where he attempted to apply the concepts of physics to problems in chemistry, in particular the conductivity of solutions, already an established research area. Arrhenius’ own study of conductivity began in the fall of 1882 with an attempt to determine molecular weights by measuring conductivity. His now famous dissertation was written between March and June 1883, and divided into an experimental and theoretical part. The experimental part treated the conductivity of electrolytes at dilute solution to test Friedrich Kohlrausch’s hypothesis that molecular conductivities become constant at high dilution. In the theoretical part, Arrhenius explained the results of the first, by introducing the concept of active (conducting) and inactive (non-conducting) molecules, and the

He spent his early years on the island of Samos, off the coast of modern Turkey. At the age of forty, however, he emigrated to the city of Croton in southern Italy and most of his philosophical activity occurred there. Pythagoras wrote nothing, nor were there any detailed accounts of his thought written by contemporaries. By the first centuries BC, moreover, it became fashionable to present Pythagoras in a largely unhistorical fashion as a semi-divine figure, who originated all that was true in the Greek philosophical tradition, including many of Plato's and Aristotle's mature ideas. A number of treatises were forged in the name of Pythagoras and other Pythagoreans in order to support this view. It remains controversial whether he also engaged in the rational cosmology that is typical of the Presocratic philosopher/scientists and whether he was in any sense a mathematician. The early evidence suggests, however, that Pythagoras presented a cosmos that was structured according to moral principles and significant numerical relationships and may have been akin to conceptions of the cosmos found in Platonic myths, such as those at the end of the
