Abstract

One of the articles of faith of twentieth-century intellectual history is that the theory of relativity in physics sprang in its essentials from the unaided genius of Albert Einstein; another is that scientific relativity is unconnected to ethical, cultural, or epistemological relativisms. Victorian Relativity challenges these assumptions, unearthing a forgotten tradition of avant-garde speculation that took as its guiding principle ""the negation of the absolute"" and set itself under the militant banner of ""relativity.""Christopher Herbert shows that the idea of relativi

Abstract

"This book describes the rise of national history in early-twentieth-century China. It studies the careers of a group of liberal historians including well-known figures such as Liang Qichao and Hu Shi and lesser known figures such as He Bingsong, Fu Sinian, Yao Congwu, and Chen Yinke. Buoyed by the quest for "Mr. Science" and "Mr. Democracy" during the May Fourth Movement of 1919, these historians searched for a scientific presentation of China's national past, inspired by the Western and Japanese practice of scientific history. Their efforts to bridge the perceived gap between tradition and modernity, native and foreign, past and present, created a new, scientific model of history in China. The book also discusses the significance of this historiographical experience in late-twentieth-century China and Taiwan."--Jacket.

Abstract

Le livre fondateur de R. Carnap, Der logische Aufbau der Welt (1928), est une œuvre philosophique centrale du XXe siècle. L’Aufbau se situe à l’orée de l’empirisme logique du cercle de Vienne et a ainsi une place essentielle dans la constitution du paradigme de la philosophie analytique. Au confluent des différentes traditions philosophiques du XXe siècle, il contient aussi tous les enjeux de la philosophie de la connaissance contemporaine : question d’une logique de l’expérience et d’une phénoménologie, statut et ontologie du langage de la science, critique de la métaphysique et élimination des “faux problèmes” en philosophie. Après l’émigration de Carnap en Amérique, puis les critiques apportées à l’empirisme logique et au projet même d’Aufbau par ses successeurs, l’Aufbau a été longtemps négligé. Il est aujourd’hui redécouvert, à la lumière de l’évolution de la science et de la théorie de la connaissance contemporaines. Ce volume collectif veut démontrer l’actualité de l’Aufbau, tout en examinant les racines historiques du projet de construction de Carnap et ses conséquences philosophiques.
