  • The world and how we know it

    Susan HaackARTICLEJournal of Critical Realism2020

    Out of a contrite fallibilism, combined with a high faith in the reality of knowledge, all my philosophy has always seemed to grow.—C. S. Peirce.1It has taken decades to build, and it’s still a wor

  • Post “Post‐Truth”

    Open AccessSusan HaackARTICLETheoria2019

    After explaining why, after dealing with post‐modernist confusions about truth in various books and articles from the mid‐1990s to, most recently, 2014 (§1), Haack returns to the topic of truth. She begins (§2) with some thoughts about the claim that concern for truth is on the decline, and perhaps at a new low; a claim that, sadly, may well be true. Then (§3) she looks at some of the many forms that carelessness with the truth may take, and show…

  • Expediting Inquiry

    Susan Haack, Susan Haack Susan HaackARTICLETransactions of the Charles S…2018Cited by: 1

    Haack begins with an exposition of Peirce's work on what he calls "the economy of research" (§1); then locates this work on the much larger map of his ideas about the factors that advance inquiry, and those that impede or block it (§2); suggests how all this relates to his ideas about the intergenerational community of inquirers (§3); and finally turns to the relevance of these ideas to the state of universities today (§4). Quoting Peirce's obser…

  • O universo pluralista do direito

    Open AccessSusan HaackARTICLERevista Direito Estado e Sociedade2014References: 1

    Após um breve esboço da história do pragmatismo filosófico em geral, e do pragmatismo jurídico especificamente (seção 1), este artigo desenvolve um novo, neo-clássico pragmatismo jurídico: uma teoria do Direito baseada, em parte, em Holmes, mas também em idéias da tradição pragmatista clássica na filosofia. Os principais temas são o "universo pluralista" do direito (seção 2); a evolução dos sistemas jurídicos (seção 3); o lugar da lógica no direi…

  • The Differences that Make a Difference

    Open AccessSusan HaackARTICLEEuropean Journal of Pragmatism…2010References: 1

    An unlearned carpenter of my acquaintance once said in my hearing: “There is very little difference between one man and another; but what little there is, is very important.” – William James (1890) On the question of “the individual and the community in pragmatism,” most people would probably think first of Dewey’s influential ideas about the individual and society: his conception of education as preparation for responsible citizenship, perhaps, …

  • Trial and Error

    Susan HaackARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2005Cited by: 8References: 5

    Apparently equating the question of whether expert testimony is reliable with the question of whether it is genuinely scientific, in Daubert v Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc (1993) the US Supreme Court ran together Karl Popper’s and Carl Hempel’s incompatible philosophies of science. But there can be no criterion discriminating scientific, and hence reliable, testimony from the unscientific and unreliable; for not all, and not only, scientific …

  • The Ideal of Intellectual Integrity, in Life and Literature

    Susan HaackARTICLENew Literary History2005

    This paper offiers (i) an interpretation of Samuel Butler's The Way of All Flesh as an epistemological novel, focusing on its depiction of such intellectual vices as self-deception, hypocrisy, and sham inquiry, and its exploration of the growth of Ernest Pontifex's intellectual character; (ii) analyses of pseudo-belief and pseudo-inquiry; and (iii) an explanation of why the ideal of intellectual integrity is so often met with indifference or even…

    Initially proposed as rivals of classical logic, alternative logics have become increasingly important in areas such as computer science and arti ficial intelligence. Fuzzy logic, in particular, has motivated major technological developments in recent years. Susan Haack's Deviant Logic provided an extended examination of the philosophical consequences of alternative logics. In this volume, Haack includes the complete text of Deviant Logic, as wel…

    Professor Thayer's helpful queries provide a welcome opportunity to clarify my distinction of criteria of evidence versus guidelines for the conduct of inquiry, and my understanding of the contrasts personal/impersonal, individual/social, objective/subjective/relative. Articulating criteria of evidence differs from giving guidelines for the conduct of inquiry as articulating criteria of nutritiousness differs from giving directions for menu-plann…

    W hat do the natural sciences know, and how do they know it? I approach our topic with a little diffidence, since I am nei ther a scientist nor a historian of science, not even a specialist in the phi losophy of science, but a plain epistemologist. Indeed, recalling Sheldon Glashow's reaction to an invitation to discuss what prophets of the end of science present as Grave Epistemological Issues: forgive me i f I thrash about a bit--it's not easy …

    There is one truth, but many truths: i.e., one unambiguous, non-relative truth-concept, but many and various propositions that are true. One truth-concept: to say that a proposition is true is to say (not that anyone, or everyone, believes it, but) that things are as it says; but many truths: particular empirical claims, scientific theories, historical propositions, mathematical theorems, logical principles, textual interpretations, statementsabo…
