    Avrum StrollBOOKTwentieth-Century Analytic…2000

    While there is no one definition of analytic philosophy, Stroll (philosophy, U. of California) surveys important developments in logic, philosophy of language, epistemology, and metaphysics over the past century. He does this by concentrating on such influential thinkers as Gottlob Frege, W.V.O. Quine, J.L. Austin, John Searle, Gilbert Ryle, Patricia Churchland, and Paul Churchland

  • The Role of Surfaces in an Ecological Theory of Perception

    Avrum StrollARTICLEPhilosophy and Phenomenological…1986Cited by: 1

    In this essay I will critically discuss a new and remarkable theory of vision propounded by the late J. J. Gibson in his The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception.' Gibson was a psychologist and not a philosopher, yet his central concern is highly philosophical, namely, how perception gives rise to the knowledge we have of the world. At first glance it would seem that Gibson places himself in the familiar Cartesian tradition by drawing a disti…

  • True’ and Truth

    Open AccessAvrum Stroll, Henry AlexanderARTICLEPhilosophy of Science1975References: 2

    In Parts I , II , and III of the paper, the authors show that an argument essential to Alan White's defense of the Correspondence Theory of truth is unsuccessful. They argue that some of the premises of White's argument are false, and others incoherent. They show, further, that certain widely accepted assumptions in the philosophy of language, which underlie White's argument, must also be abandoned. In Part IV, they attempt to say something new a…

  • On a Certain Tension in Plato's Republic

    Open AccessAvrum StrollARTICLEDialogue1972

    In this paper, I wish to explore a certain tension I find in Plato's Republic between two competing conceptions of human nature. One of these is set forth explicitly; the emphasis Plato gives it strongly indicates that he conceives of it as his “official” theory. The other is merely hinted at, or presupposed, by certain things he says about pre-social man. Since this is so, it may be more prudent for me to speak at this stage about two different …

    The main part of this paper will begin with a description of the sorts of circumstances in which one may be said to be giving an explanation of something or other. It will then proceed by a series of steps through an account of the role which the giving of reasons has in this process, focussing in particular on the kinds of reasons a person advances when he explains why something is desirable; and this account will again give way (I hope not unna…
