Hume and the Fiery Furnace
There are a standard number of replies to the riddle of induction, none of which has gained ascendency. It seems that a new approach is needed that concedes less to the Humean dialectic. Humeans, both traditional and contemporary, unwittingly play on the ambiguity of the phrase “change in the course of nature,” and that is why ' C · ~E ' appears to be self-consistent, though in fact it is not. I provide an analysis of 'cause' and ‘natural necessi…
The Idea of God
The Powers That Be
The Humean tradition claims to show that the direct perception of causal power is in principle impossible. One argument for this conclusion is very simple: One cannot perceive what is not there; ‘causal power’ entails ‘necessary connection’; there are no necessary connections between matters of fact; therefore one cannot perceive causal power. The heart of this argument, of course, and the backbone of the Humean tradition, is that there are no ne…

E. G. Boring's Philosophy of Science
Professor Boring is best known for his work in the history of psychology and for good reason: his History of Experimental Psychology and his Sensation and Perception in the History of Experimental Psychology are truly impressive works. However, he has also written numerous articles in the philosophy of science, the psychology of scientific discovery, and the sociology of scientific production, but unfortunately this material has not heretofore be…
Postulates and Meaning
Most philosophers of science nowadays hold a network or postulational view of the meaning of theoretical words. However, there are many nuances to this view, and after explicitly separating them, we show what we take to be wrong with each one. While we reject the postulational view we do not defend its traditional alternatives either; rather we show the pointlessness of insisting on a single source for the meaning of theoretical words. We also po…
Definition and Reduction
While I do not accept any current analysis of theoretical terms I also reject certain criticisms of them. Specifically, I reject the criticism that the paradoxes of material implication and the counterfactual problem eliminate the explicit definition view; and I also reject the criticism that explicitly defined theoretical terms do not refer to anything which “really exists” or do not have “excess meaning.” I do argue, however, that the explicit …

On the Difficulty of Evading the Problem of Evil
Chauncey Wright and the Foundations of Pragmatism
Roots of Scientific Thought
Aristotle's Treatment of Probability and Signs
Probability and Frequency. Aristotle frequently used the concept of probability, but apparently he did not make any persistent effort to clarify or analyze it. His description of a fortiori argument in The Topics (115a, 6–14), e.g., depends upon “the more or less likely or probable,” but he does not explore this notion. In The Rhetoric , where he applies himself to a puzzle about probability which the Sophists had advanced (1402a, 5–30), he comes…

Chauncey Wright: Forgotten American Philosopher
CHAUNCEY WRIGHT's analyses of the structure and methods of science were probably even more penetrating than those of John Stuart Mill; his precise characterization of English empiricism was an equally important achievement in general philosophy. In empirical psychology he introduced the Darwinian concepts of minute variation and natural selection to account for the origin of self-consciousness, but only recently has the historical importance of h…
Chauncey Wright and the Logic of Psychology
In this paper we propose to characterize Chauncey Wright's empirical psychology, or “psychozoology” as he called it, from a methodological standpoint. By a methodological characterization of any science we mean an analysis of its structure as distinguished from its actual findings. We mean, for example, a description of the kind or type of variable and law in any science as distinguished from the actual particular content of any defined variable …
The Philosophy of Science in Gestalt Theory
Although the point of departure for Gestalt theory has been for the most part psychological investigation, nevertheless Gestalt theory is more inclusive than Gestalt psychology. Within psychology Gestalt theory claims to be the basis of the only scientific theory that can explain the empirical facts of psychology, but on a more general level Gestalt theory comprehends a philosophy of science, and positions in epistemology, metaphysics, and value …

He translated The New Life and The Divine Comedy and published significant studies of the work of Dante, Donne, Ruskin, Gray, Michelangelo, Holbein, and Turner, among many others.1 He spent much of his time in Europe from 1868 to 1873 collecting material for his important Historical Studies of Chur…
