Naturalism and the Human Condition
Where ethics has gone
r ~ . o words loom large these, days in think-pieces abou t the state o f the na9 tion or the world: and culture. It seems to be accep ted that these words have the ring of principle and a n n o u n c e a serious moral intention on the par t o f those who use them. As ins t ruments for in t roduc ing b road ethical concerns into public discussion, though, they have certain peculiarities that deserve more at tent ion than they have received. For o…

Heidegger and the Philosophy of Mind
Nietzsche's Philosophy of Culture
As one reads Nietzsche and especially The Will To Power, it is impossible not to notice how deeply concerned he is with the themes of and weakness. The forms of and weakness he deals with are typically not the ones with which we are most familiar: the and weakness of the body or even of personality and character, at least as these are ordinarily understood. This is not to say that Nietzsche abstracts altogether from familiar ideas of and weakness…

Hermeneutics
Although it has recently achieved a certain currency, the term can hardly be said to have a secure or well-defined place in the vocabulary of philosophers or philosophers of history, at least in the English-speaking world. It is generally understood that, as it is now used, this term denotes something far more ambitious than the exegetical work on biblical and other texts to which it was formerly confined. But as to just what this wider conceptio…

The new theories formulated above do indeed provide machinery sufficient to handle adequately the difficulties raised by the different degrees of quasi-indexical reference; but these theories do not seem refined enough to do justice to the subtle features (E.1) and (E.2) of attributions of self-knowledge to others, and they fail to have (9a) entail (lOa).

Narrative History and the Concept of Action
Until quite recently, philosophical discussions of the nature of historical knowledge have devoted very little attention to the narrative structure of historical writing. Interest has been, for the most part, concentrated upon the logic of explanation in history and, more specifically, upon the role of general laws in such explanations. By contrast, interest in historical narrative has tended to be associated with interpretations of historical un…

Meta-Ethics and the Moral Life
Two assumptions are frequently met with in current discussions of ethics. First, it is commonly supposed that the task of moral philosophy is to explicate the logic of moral reasoning and to show how our most important moral concepts such as and right are systematically related to one another. Further, it is held that the success of any proposed analysis of these terms turns on the degree to which it correctly formulates the ways in which they ar…

A Reply to Mr. Taylor
IN HIS recent article, The Normative Function of Metaethics,' Mr. Paul Taylor makes a number of criticisms of an earlier paper of mine that was addressed to the same subject.2 In that paper, I argued that, whatever merits the emotive theory may possess, it is not an accurate description of the way ordinarily use moral words; and I tried to show how the adoption of an emotivist metaethic would modify the style of the moral life although not necess…

Some Observations on Area Study Programs
A philosopher asserts that area specialization is related to the generalizing approach of economics, political science, and sociology, and to the more traditional analyses of history and anthropology. He examines the meaning of policy-oriented or operational research. Finally Professor Olafson, of Harvard University, declares that the historical and environmental (geographic) sciences provide the best foundation for research, including interdisci…
