  • Freedom of Speech

    Harry M BrackenBOOKFreedom of Speech1994

    This work provides a philosophical framework within which the free speech clause of the Constitution's First Amendment may be understood. While much has been written on the First Amendment, this work is unique in offering an historically based thesis illuminating a point virtually ignored in the literature--the absolutist quality of the free speech clause and the philosophical dualism (words/deeds) on which it is based. Given the increasingly pow…

  • Geoffrey Sampson

    Open AccessHarry M BrackenARTICLEDialogue1981References: 1

    This book should be of interest to philosophers because it shows how important empiricist/rationalist debates are to a large range of issues. Sampson is a defender of empiricism, of liberalism, and of a tie between them. He has produced a sustained attack on Chomsky's Cartesianism and on his political views. He tells us that “the central aim of this book has been to show that Chomsky's fine-sounding words about human nature actually mean somethin…

    The Protestant Reformation is said to have had a number of ramifications within philosophy. Popkin has traced the sceptical crisis in 17th century philosophical thought back to the criterion problem, the search for a rule of religious truth, which was precipitated by the Reformation. Rex has shown how the elaboration of what might be called the epistemology of religious certitude devised by Calvinist theologians provided fertile intellectual grou…

  • Chomsky's Language and Mind

    Open AccessHarry M BrackenARTICLEDialogue1970

    Noam Chomsky's Beckman Lectures, delivered at Berkeley in 1967, have been published as Language and Mind . The text makes a good introduction for the philosopher to Chomsky's linguistic theories and their impact on philosophy and psychology. He begins: “In these lectures, I would like to focus attention on the question, What contribution can the study of language make to our understanding of human nature”

  • Innate Ideas—Then and Now

    Open AccessHarry M BrackenARTICLEDialogue1967

    John Locke is famous for, among other things, his attack on innate ideas. At one time it was felt that Locke had attacked a straw man. But John Yolton has shown that many of Locke's contemporaries held strange views about innate ideas. Appealing to innate ideas was apparently a popular method of establishing principles that might otherwise be difficult to defend. Locke's attack is in good measure directed at those who preferred not to provide arg…
