A new translation of the final work of French philosopher Jean CavaillEs. In this short, dense essay, Jean CavaillEs evaluates philosophical efforts to determine the origin'logical or ontological'of scientific thought, arguing that, rather than seeking to found science in original intentional acts, a priori meanings, or foundational logical relations, any adequate theory must involve a history of the concept. CavaillEs insists on a historical epistemology that is conceptual rather than phenomenological, and a logic that is dialectical rather than transcendental. His famous call (cited by Foucault) to abandon "a philosophy of consciousness" for "a philosophy of the concept" was crucial in displacing the focus of philosophical enquiry from aprioristic foundations toward structural historical shifts in the conceptual fabric. This new translation of CavaillEs's final work, written in 1942 during his imprisonment for Resistance activities, presents an opportunity to reencounter an original and lucid thinker. CavaillEs's subtle adjudication between positivistic claims that science has no need of philosophy, and philosophers' obstinate disregard for actual scientific events, speaks to a dilemma that remains pertinent for us today. His affirmation of the authority of scientific thinking combined with his commitment to conceptual creation yields a radical defense of the freedom of thought and the possibility of the new.

Logic is often perceived as having little to do with the rest of philosophy, and even less to do with real life. Graham Priest explores the philosophical roots of the subject, explaining how modern formal logic addresses many issues.

Plantinga è noto, almeno in Europa, più come filosofo della religione che come epistemologo. Questa ricostruzione del suo lavoro lo inserisce in più ampi dibattiti contemporanei su diversi temi, dall'affidabilismo al darwinismo in contrapposizione al creazionismo. L'immagine di Plantinga che emerge è quella, molto particolare, di un pensatore che pur intendendo elaborare una teoria epistemologica dichiaratamente confessionale ha prodotto contributi di notevole interesse per l'epistemologia nel suo complesso.

The aim of this volume is to open up new perspectives and to raise new research questions about a unified approach to truth, modalities, and propositional attitudes. The volume's essays are grouped thematically around different research questions. The first theme concerns the tension between the theoretical role of the truth predicate in semantics and its expressive function in language. The second theme of the volume concerns the interaction of truth with modal and doxastic notions. The third theme covers higher-order solutions to the semantic and modal paradoxes, providing an alternative to first-order solutions embraced in the first two themes. This book will be of interest to researchers working in epistemology, logic, philosophy of logic, philosophy of language, philosophy of mathematics, and semantics.

This proceedings volume contains 30 papers dealing with the history, literature and ideas of the logico-epistemological school of Indian Buddhism initiated by Dignaga and Dharmakirti, and related currents in South Asia (India), Tibet and East Asia (China). The papers address historical and philological problems raised by important recent manuscript discoveries, pursue specific research questions in the history of philosophy, and undertake philosophical reconstructions and critical examinations relating to individual theories and arguments. By focusing on philosophical currents in Asia that developed and applied rigorous philosophical methods, the volume also aims to contribute to the formation of a better-founded global historical awareness in the field of philosophy. Dieser Tagungsband enthält 30 Beiträge, die sich mit Geschichte, Literatur und Gedankengut der von Dignaga und Dharmakirti begründeten erkenntnistheoretischen Schule des indischen Buddhismus und verwandten Strömungen in Südasien (Indien), Tibet und Ostasien (China) befassen. Die Beiträge behandeln mit historischen und philologische Problemen, die durch wichtigeManuskriptfunde aufgeworfen werden, verfolgen spezifischeForschungsfragen der Philosophiegeschichte und unternehmen philosophische Rekonstruktionen und kritische Untersuchungen zu einzelnen Theorien und Argumenten. Durch die konzentrierte Behandlung philosophischer Strömungen in Asien, die rigorose philosophische Methoden entwickelt und angewandt haben, will der Band auch zur Herausbildung eines fundierteren globalen Geschichtsbewusstseins im Bereich der Philosophie beitragen.

Marketing text: This book covers the overlap between informatics, computer science, philosophy of causation, and causal inference in epidemiology and population health research. Key concepts covered include how data are generated and interpreted, and how and why concepts in health informatics and the philosophy of science should be integrated in a systems-thinking approach. Furthermore, a formal epistemology for the health sciences and public health is suggested. Causation in Population Health Informatics and Data Science provides a detailed guide of the latest thinking on causal inference in population health informatics. It is therefore a critical resource for all informaticians and epidemiologists interested in the potential benefits of utilising a systems-based approach to causal inference in health informatics.

This monograph is the first comprehensive commentary on Kant’s metaphysical deduction of the categories since the 1930s. The “Guide to the Discovery of all Pure Concepts of the Understanding” and the theories it develops, namely the theories of concept formation, of judgment, the synthesis of intuition, and the categories, are subjected to a close textual analysis focusing on Kant’s arguments, their presuppositions, and consequences. Wie hier durch textnahe und argumentative Rekonstruktion erstmals gezeigt wird, entwickelt Kant in der Metaphysischen Deduktion in drei Schritten: (i) einen Begriff des Urteils, auf dem die Tafel logischer Funktionen beruht; (ii) einen Begriff der Synthesis der Anschauung, der die Inhalte der Kategorien erklärt; und (iii) einen Begriff des Verstandes, demzufolge die Kategorien a priori zu demselben Vermögen gehören, durch das wir auch urteilen. Die vorliegende Untersuchung ist eine argumentative Rekonstruktion von Kants Text. Der rekonstruierte Text ist der „Leitfaden der Entdeckung aller reinen Verstandesbegriffe" auf A 64 bis 83 / B 89 bis 113 der Kritik der reinen Vernunft in ihren beiden Auflagen von 1781 (A) und 1787 (B). Zudem werden andere, für ein Verständnis der Überlegungen in diesem Kapitel erforderliche oder zumindest erhellende Textstellen aus der Kritik herangezogen; aus Schriften, die Kant nach der Kritik geschrieben hat; sowie schließlich aus Kants Nachlass-Notizen und aus Nachschriften zu seinen Vorlesungen jeweils seit der Entstehungszeit der Kritik. Von entscheidender Bedeutung sind dabei vor allem vier weitere Passagen der Kritik selbst: i) die rückblickende Beschreibung der Aufgabe der Metaphysischen Deduktion auf B 159, ii) die rückblickende Beschreibung des Vorgehens im „Leitfaden" auf A 299/B 355 f., iii) der Abschnitt „Von den Gründen a priori zur Möglichkeit der Erfahrung" auf A 95 bis 110 der Transzendentalen Deduktion der Kategorien in der ersten Auflage und schließlich iv) die §§ 15 bis 21 auf B 128 bis 148 der Transzendentalen Deduktion der Kategorien in der zweiten Auflage der Kritik. Vor dem Hintergrund einer umfassenden und detaillierten Analyse des „Leitfadens", bei Hinzuziehung verwandter Stellen aus dem umgrenzten Textbestand und nicht zuletzt bei Berücksichtigung des Verhältnisses des „Leitfadens" zu den genannten vier Passagen der Kritik legt sich eine Interpretation der Metaphysischen Deduktion nahe, die sich nur schwer bestreiten lässt, sobald diese Texte einmal gemeinsam betrachtet und auf eine bestimmte Weise zueinander ins Verhältnis gesetzt werden. Dabei kann eine durchgehend wohlwollende, argumentative Rekonstruktion dazu beitragen, auch die philosophische Überzeugungskraft der Position Kants deutlich zu machen.
