Logicians’ Underlying Postulations
Among the subject matters which logicians like at times to investigate are the forms of postulation that other branches of inquiry employ. Rarely, however, do they examine the postulates under which they themselves proceed. It long contented them to offer something they called a “definition” for logic, and let it go at that. They might announce that logic dealt with the “laws of thought,” or with “judgment,” or that it was “the general science of…
Decrassifying Dewey
Most discussions of Dewey's Logic evade what I take to be its main characteristic. This is its crass display of our intellectual activity as a going process—as living inquiry—literally, biologically, as life. It is the blunt, forthright treatment of even our most formal logical procedures as events occurring within that new world of knowledge that Darwin opened up and that Peirce sketched in his fallibilism, his pragmaticism, and his late-life ef…
The Human Skin: Philosophy's Last Line of Defense
Human skin is the one authentic criterion of the universe which philosophers recognize when they appraise knowledge under their professional rubric, epistemology. By and large—except for a few of the great Critics and Sceptics—they view knowledge as a capacity, attribute, possession, or other mysterious inner quality of a “knower”; they view this knower as residing in or at a “body”; they view the body as cut off from the rest of the universe by …
Physicists and Fairies
When the layman reads a book or two of popularized physics and then moves solemnly forth, as occasionally happens, to expound some comprehensive doctrine purporting to be built directly out of the materials he has picked up, the type of comment which the physicist will make is plain enough in advance. But why does it so rarely occur to the physicist that others may think of his epistemologizing much what he is sure to think of their quantizing
Behavior, Knowledge, Fact
Linguistic Analysis of Mathematics
The Positive and the Logical
One is tempted to look upon the positive and the logical somewhat as one looks upon the quick and the dead. Yet the issue is hardly that sharp. Viability has strange possibilities and varied forms, and must often be appraised with an eye directed as much towards the environment as towards the claimant organism. Stretching the application of the word ‘viable’ to complexes of behavior such as the philosophies and theories of knowledge, we may ask: …

Remarks on Method in the Study of Society
The background.-Things material and things psychic are approximations in statement that point to problems of process to be solved. Things social must not be sought to add to them, rather the social aspect of bifurcated facts should be the clue to their examination in common process. Visibility and language.-We see by the aid of describing, and described by the aid of vision; and these interdependent processes make up science. Social science is no…
Simmel, Durkheim, and Ratzenhofer
Simmel, Durkheim, and Ratzenhofer show a common concentration of purpose upon a coherent statement of social facts without intrusion of other elements: their philosophical or psychological foundations may be stripped away without hurt to their work. Ratzenhofer's groups, with their interests, represent the activities and energies of society. Durkheim's exteriority and constraint represent the same thing, if taken without an assumed opposition to …
