Pragmatism and scientific philosophy in Carnap and Quine
Critical Review of The Philosophical Project of Carnap and Quine, edited by Sean Morris, Cambridge University Press, 2023.Scholarly opinion concerning the Carnap–Quine relationship and their centra
Basic food and drink price distributions transcend time and culture
In this empirical study, we show that the shape of the distribution of relative prices of basic food and drink items has been extraordinarily robust, from ancient Egypt to modern Chile, whether there be peace and economic stability, war, revolution, depression or hyperinflation. The width of the distribution of log prices does not deviate significantly from a specific value, which would appear to be universal. This property of relative prices has…

Quine and Conceptual Pragmatism
Quine famously concluded that his rejection of the analytic-synthetic distinction resulted in a more 'thorough' pragmatism. While suggesting a possible link to American pragmatism, Quine would later explain that he was only extending the use of 'pragmatic' found in Carnap's thought. However, Quine has also acknowledged the influence of his teacher C.I. Lewis, who defended his 'Conceptual Pragmatism' in the 1920s and 1930s. This essay focuses on Q…

Staff renewal: Turn it on or give it up
Too often, staff development programs are the result only of theoretical ideas about how to initiate educational change. This article uses both theoretical knowledge and practical reality associated with the implementation of school improvement as data sources for determining what is desirable for staff development. A bold and comprehensive staff development program being conducted in Montclair provides the practical perspective. To our knowledge…
Von Thünen and Urban Sprawl
In explaining agricultural patterns near urban areas, Von Thünen's theory is generally applicable where the primary force determining the pattern is transport cost to the market. When this is the case, the pattern of agricultural land use is one of decreasing intensity with distance from the city. Von Thünen's theory still applies in underdeveloped parts of the world, but his basic premise has been outdated in more developed areas. In many advanc…

Austria's Place in Europe's Electric-Power Exchange
C ONSIDERABLE international economic cooperation has recently taken place in Europe in many fields. The field of electric power is one of these. Since 1950 the transfer of electricity across international boundaries in Western Europe has increased threefold.' The increase has been made possible by a series of intergovernmental agreements that liberalize international power transfers and free them from foreign-exchange restrictions. However, the d…
