"Zrcadlo přírody" a druhých u Davida Huma:

Tomáš Hanzal

Filosofický časopis (Philosophical Journal) > 2020 > 68 > 5 > 697-715

Článek interpretuje Humovu teorii asociace idejí především se zřetelem k podobnosti jako jednomu z principů asociace a k obecným idejím (či pojmům) jako zásadnímu produktu asociace. Na základě této interpretace autor tvrdí, že Humovo pojetí podobnosti a obecných termínů není podmíněno přijetím tzv. „mýtu daného“. V důsledku přijetí tohoto předpokladu však vyvstávají nové otázky, zejména proč asociací...

Sellarsian Picturing in Light of Spinoza’s Intuitive Knowledge

Dionysis Christias

Philosophia > 2017 > 45 > 3 > 1039-1062

In this article, we will attempt to understand Sellars’ puzzling notion of ‘adequate picturing’ and its relation to the Sellarsian ‘conceptual order’ through Spinoza’s intuitive knowledge. First, it will be suggested that there are important structural similarities between Sellarsian ‘adequate picturing’ and Spinoza’s intuitive knowledge which can illuminate some ‘dark’ and not so well understood...

FROM THE MYTH OF THE GIVEN TO RADICAL CONCEPTUAL DIVERSITY

Terence Rajivan Edward

Organon F. medzinárodný časopis pre analytickú filozofiu > 2015 > 22 > 1 > 3 - 8

This paper evaluates the following argument, suggested in the writings of Donald Davidson: if there is such a thing as the given, then there can be alternative conceptual schemes; there cannot be alternative conceptual schemes; therefore there is no such thing as the given.

“It is not a something , but not a nothing either!”—McDowell on Wittgenstein

Hao Tang

Synthese > 2014 > 191 > 3 > 557-567

This paper corrects a mistake in John McDowell’s influential reading of Wittgenstein’s attack on the idea of private sensations. McDowell rightly identifies a primary target of Wittgenstein’s attack to be the Myth of the Given. But he also suggests that Wittgenstein, in the ferocity of his battles with this myth, sometimes goes into overkill, which manifests itself in seemingly behavioristic denials...

Varieties of Analytic Pragmatism

Danielle Macbeth

Philosophia > 2012 > 40 > 1 > 27-39

In his Locke Lectures Brandom proposes to extend what he calls the project of analysis to encompass various relationships between meaning and use. As the traditional project of analysis sought to clarify various logical relations between vocabularies so Brandom’s extended project seeks to clarify various pragmatically mediated semantic relations between vocabularies. The point of the exercise in both...

W stronę teorii i historii kultury. Spojrzenie na teorię stylów myślowych Ludwika Flecka. Część III

Michał Rydlewski

Etnografia Polska > 2011 > 55 > 1-2 > 179-198

This article is the third and the last part of the discussion on Ludwik Fleck’s theory of thought styles and collectives. According to his ideas every perception is conditioned by the thought style. There is no neutral perception, it is always determinated by the cultural context and particular thought collectives. It applies also to the perception based on the common sense. This article presents...

Pragmatism, Experience, and the Given

Scott Aikin

Human Affairs > 2009 > 19 > 1 > 19-27

The doctrine of the Given is that subjects have direct non-inferential awareness of content of their experiences and apprehensions, and that some of a subject's beliefs are justified on the basis of that subject's awareness of her experiences and apprehensions. Pragmatist criticisms of the Given as a myth are shown here not only to be inadequate but to presuppose the Given. A model for a pragmatist...

Overcoming the myth of the mental

Hubert L. Dreyfus

Topoi > 2006 > 25 > 1-2 > 43-49

Can we accept John McDowell’s Kantian claim that perception is conceptual “all the way out,” thereby denying the more basic perceptual capacities we seem to share with prelinguistic infants and higher animals? More generally, can philosophers successfully describe the conceptual upper floors of the edifice of knowledge while ignoring the embodied coping going on on the ground floor? I argue that we...
