A Study of Qualities wasn't published as such before 1990 but it is indeed Goodman's PhD dissertation. His first book publication, The Structure of Appearance (1951), is based on it; it is substantially reworked, however. In the preface to A Study of Qualities , Goodman thanks "the late James H. Woods" for his "kindness and encouragement" that first led him to undertake this project. He also thanks C.I. Lewis for encouragement and discussions especially in the early stages of his PhD. Woods might have first taken Goodman on as an advisee, or literally just encouraged him. Woods philosophical interests don't seem to coincide with Goodman's project. There is, however, some Lewisian influence in the dissertation (which, like

11. Nelson Goodman A brief discussion of goodman s new riddle of induction, followed by a doggerel on the subject. By Scott Harrison. http://members.aol.com/Philosdog/Goodman.html

Nelson Goodman (1906-1998) Nelson Goodman is best known for his "new riddle of induction", which he set up by first defining what appears to be a new color adjective, grue : Something is "grue" if and only if it is examined before some particular time T and is green, or else is examined after time T and is blue. He also throws in, as a bonus, "bleen", which applies to anything examined before time T and is blue, or which is examined after time T and is green. Now, he says, how do we know that the grass is green and not grue before that time T arrives, and that the sky is blue and not bleen? This is for him, and for numerous other analytic philosophers who jumped into the fray, a very worrisome problem indeed! But the first thing to ask is why Goodman and the others think that this silly little puzzle is so important in the first place! The answer is throughout the 20 th century there was a strong (though often only half-conscious) bias among many Anglo-American bourgeois philosophers that only deduction is a valid form of reasoning. Thus induction and all other methods of reasoning were

Cite this entry Search the SEP Advanced Search Tools ... Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free Goodman's Aesthetics First published Sat 7 May, 2005 Nelson Goodman has certainly been one of the most influential figures in contemporary aesthetics and analytic philosophy in general (in addition to aesthetics, his contributions cover the areas of applied logic, metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of science). His Languages of Art (first published in 1968 [Goodman 1976]), together with Ernst Gombrich's Art and Illusion (1960) and Richard Wollheim's Art and Its Objects (1968), represents a fundamental turning point in the analytic approach to artistic issues in Anglo-American philosophy. His unorthodox approach to art is part of a general approach to knowledge and reality, and is always pervasively informed by his cognitivism, nominalism, relativism, and constructivism. From Languages of Art and subsequent works, a general view of the arts as contributing to the understanding and indeed to the building of the realities we live in emerges. Ultimately, in Goodman's view, art is not sharply divided, in goals and means, from science and ordinary experience. Paintings, musical sonatas, dances, etc. all are symbols that classify parts of reality for us, as do such things as scientific theories and what makes up common, ordinary knowledge. 1.

More For Goodman, this sort of thing would have been of "merely historical interest." He concentrated on the main task, a "general theory of symbols" that "ranges beyond the arts into matters pertaining to the sciences, technology, perception, and practice." One could feel in his text a convergence of the Barthian triad, "Image/Music/Text," staged as a dialogue between structural linguistics and theories of nonverbal representation. He tacitly resisted the linguistic imperialism of semiotics, taking pains to insist that the word "language" in Languages of Art was merely a vernacular convenience (the precise word would have been "symbol"). His theory paid as much attention to musical and dance notation as to linguistic signs, and it was centered, most famously, on the notoriously difficult question of the visual image.

17. Nelson Goodman's Ways Of Worldmaking nelson goodman s Ways of Worldmaking. Worldmaking as we know it always starts from worlds already on hand; . Source nelson goodman, Ways of Worldmaking http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/gthursby/0000/goodman.htm

Resources to Orient Students and My Point of View as a Teacher Nelson Goodman's Ways of Worldmaking Worldmaking as we know it always starts from worlds already on hand; the making is a remaking. Anthropology and developmental psychology may study social and individual histories of such world-building, but the search for a universal or necessary beginning is best left to theology. My interest here is rather with the processes involved in building a world out of others. With the false hope of a firm foundation gone, with the world displaced by worlds that are but versions, with substance dissolved into function, and with the given acknowledged as taken, we face the questions how worlds are made, tested, and known. Without presuming to instruct the gods or other worldmakers, or attempting any comprehensive or systematic survey, I want to illustrate and comment on some of the processes that go into worldmaking. What I have said so far plainly points to a radical relativism; but severe restraints are imposed. Willingness to accept countless alternative true or right world-versions does not mean that everything goes, that tall stories are as good as short ones, that truths are no longer distinguished from falsehoods, but only that truth must be otherwise conceived than as correspondence with a ready-made world. Though we make worlds by making versions, we no more make a world by putting symbols together at random than a carpenter makes a chair by putting pieces of wood together at random. The multiple worlds I countenance are just the actual worlds made by and answering to true or right versions. Worlds possible or impossible supposedly answering to false versions have no place in my philosophy.

18. The "Grue" Property The Grue Property alla nelson goodman goodman, nelson. Fact, Fiction and Forecast. Indianapolis BobbsMerrill, 1965. http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~cfs/305_html/Induction/Grue.html

The "Grue" Property alla Nelson Goodman The "grue" property is defined as: x is grue if and only if x is green and is observed before the year 2000, or x is blue and is not observed before the year 2000. This is a "weird" property but there is no obvious reason why we couldn't make up such a property. Now, let us pretend that the x referred to above are actually emeralds. Further, pretend that we have observed many emeralds and they have all been green and thus have had the property "grue". Then, intuitively, this should increase our belief that the next emerald we observe will be green and that it will be grue. This intuition is fine until New Years Eve in 1999. Now our pretend emeralds observed in 2000 should be grue and therefore blue and not green. Strange.......Is it still strange if we pretend x are marbles rather than emeralds. Why is this strange?
