Diagrammatic reasoning in Frege’s Begriffsschrift
Overcoming Kant
Viète, Descartes, and the Emergence of Modern Mathematics
Francois Viete (1540-1603) is often regarded as the first modern mathematician on the grounds that he was the first to develop the literal notation, that is, the use of two sorts of letters, one for the unknown and the other for the known parameters of a problem. The fact that he achieved neither a modern conception of quantity nor a modern understanding of curves, both of which are explicit in Descartes’ Geometry (1637), is to be explained on th…
Knowledge, Mind, and the Given
This book serves three purposes, and it serves them very well. First, it patiently, accurately and comprehensively supplies the necessary information about the historical and contemporaneous ideas, views, problems and theories which constitute the conceptual setting for Sellars's theses and argumentation. Second, it provides a careful and lucid section-by-section interpretative explanation of Sellars's own principal views and claims and, cruciall…
Knowledge, Mind, and the Given
Pragmatism and the Philosophy of Language
1. In Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind,' Sellars argues that the notion of nonverbal that would provide a foundation for empirical knowledge is a myth; nothing merely causal, not already in conceptual shape, could possibly play the justificatory role required of such a foundation. Rorty takes Quine, in Two Dogmas,2 to make the complementary point that the notion of analytic claims true by virtue of meaning, of self-authenticating verbal epis…
The Coin of the Intentional Realm
I wanted to put that picture before him, and his acceptance of the picture consists in his now being inclined to regard a given case differently: that is to compare it with this rather than that set of pictures. I have changed his way of looking at things. (Wittgenstein 1953, §144) A picture held us captive. (§ 115)
