Against Facts
In this book Arianna Betti argues that we have no good reason to accept facts in our catalog of the world, at least as they are described by the two major metaphysical theories of facts. She claims that neither of these theories is tenable - neither the theory according to which facts are special structured building blocks of reality nor the theory according to which facts are whatever is named by certain expressions of the form "the fact that su…
The axiomatic method, the order of concepts and the hierarchy of sciences
This special issue of Synthese ‘The Classical Model of Science II: The axiomatic method, the order of concepts and the hierarchy of sciences’ follows up on the previous ‘The ClassicalModel of Science I: Amillennia-oldmodel of scientific rationality’. Both issues centre on the role, the significance and the impact of the axiomatic ideal of scientific knowledge in the history of philosophy. The first issue focuses on the relation between axiomatics…
The Classical Model of Science
Throughout more than two millennia philosophers adhered massively to ideal standards of scientific rationality going back ultimately to Aristotle’s Analytica posteriora . These standards got progressively shaped by and adapted to new scientific needs and tendencies. Nevertheless, a core of conditions capturing the fundamentals of what a proper science should look like remained remarkably constant all along. Call this cluster of conditions the Cla…
Leśniewski’s characteristica universalis
Leśniewski’s systems deviate greatly from standard logic in some basic features. The deviant aspects are rather well known, and often cited among the reasons why Leśniewski’s work enjoys little recognition. This paper is an attempt to explain why those aspects should be there at all. Leśniewski built his systems inspired by a dream close to Leibniz’s characteristica universalis: a perfect system of deductive theories encoding our knowledge of the…
The Strange Case of Savonarola and the Painted Fish On the Bolzanization of Polish Thought
When Twardowski came to Lvov in 1895, his aim was to establish a philosophical trend heavily inspired by Brentanism, although peppered with Bolzanian ideas. As shows from a comparison between the lectures in logic he gave in Vienna in 1894/5 and in Lvov in 1895/6, Twardowski's teaching activity in Poland was even more Brentanian than in Vienna, I There is little doubt that the reason for this is that Brentano's thought was unknown in late 19th Ce…
Sempiternal Truth. The Bolzano-Twardowski-Leśniewski Axis
This paper was submitted in 1996. Until now versions of it have circulated in various forms. A Polish translation of it appeared in Filozofia Nauki, VI, Nr. 2 (22
Propositions et états de choses chez Twardowski
Twardowski's On the Content and Object of Presentations (1894) is one of the most influential works that Austrian philosophy has left to posterity. The manuscript Logik (1894–1895) supplements that work and allows us to reconstruct Twardowski's theory of judgement. These texts raise several issues, in particular whether Twardowski accepts propositions and states of affairs in his theory of judgement and whether his theory is acceptable. This arti…
