Abstract:

<p> One of Carnap’s overarching aims was to set philosophy on a firm scientific footing. He relied primarily on two ideas to achieve his ideal of a scientific philosophy: verificationism, according to which only empirically testable or logically determinate sentences are meaningful, and the Principle of Tolerance, which held that we are free to choose whichever system of empirical knowledge is most expedient. The logical empiricism embodied in these views is is widely believed to have been decisively refuted by a variety of objections. </p><p> My dissertation seeks to clarify the conte

Wells, Philip L. "Pragmatism as American Exceptionalism." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2012. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/honors_theses/23.

Abstract:

The history of American philosophical thought is marked by a skepticism of epistemology and immutable truths, which is drawn under the term pragmatism. This skepticism is the genesis for the political and social attitudes that makes the United States exceptional. This thesis argues that this exceptionalism is important to the makeup of the American character and that it is being threatened by two front: ideologically driven politics, and the abuse of power by the majority. In the course of writing this essay I evaluated a large portion of the body of American philosophy as well as political an

Abstract:

In this paper I wish to trace some connections between Donald Davidson's work (1917-2003) and two major representatives of the classical pragmatist movement: Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914) and William James (1842-1910). I will start with a basic characterization of classical pragmatism; then, I shall examine certain conceptions in Peirce's and James' pragmatism, in order to establish affinities with Davidson´s thought. Finally, and bearing in mind the previous con-nections, I will reflect briefly on the relevance –often unrecognized- of classical pragmatist ideas in the context of contemporary

Full text

Abstract:

Taking a more philosophical than literary view of Lawrence, this thesis interprets Lawrence's life and work in terms of its philosophical import and suggests that Lawrence's mature thinking can be seen as exemplifying the spirit of pragmatist philosophy. To that end, the ideas of pragmatist philosopher Richard Rorty are drawn upon in order to shed light on the course and outcomes of Lawrence's philosophical development. Daniel Dervin and Terry Eagleton are also prominent among other critics to whom I refer. Drawing on texts from several of the genres in which Lawrence wrote, the case is made t

Abstract:

Inspired by Richard Rorty's attempt to exploit both pragmatism and philosophical hermeneutics in support of his own end of epistemology project, the dissertation presents a comparative study of William James' pragmatic theory of truth and Hans-Georg Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutic account of human understanding. Chapter 1 examines Rorty's end of philosophy project and his critique of truth as correspondence. It identifies three fundamental orientations of his thought, namely, the rejection of: representationalism, the ideal of transcendence, and scientism. It examines his claim that the pr

Abstract:

This thesis can be split into two sections. The first section is an argument against physicalism and its naturalistic pretensions. The second section presents an alternative to physicalism - pragmatic pluralism. The arguments for the first section are split into four chapters. In chapter one it is argued that an examination of science lends no support to physicalist ontology. The case of quantum chemistry is studied in some detail and its shown that higher-level chemical facts are needed to support the quantum mechanical explanations given. The second and third chapters look at various ways in
