CONCLUSION GENERALE La visée de notre étude était de déterminer la place du « Principe d’Anselme » chez Hartshorne. Il nous a donc fallu comprendre ce qu’était ce « Principe d’Anselme ». Il fallait aussi tracer les contours de la relation existant entre la pensée d’Anselme et celle de Hartshorne, c’est-à-dire le théisme néoclassique, et le rôle que joue celui-ci dans la Pensée de Process. Nous avons pu voir que le rôle d’Anselme et plus spécifiquement celui de l’argument ontologique est déterminant dans l’élaboration du théisme néoclassique de Hartshorne. A ce propos, nous avons relevé chez Hartshorne deux préoccupations fondamentales. D’une part, la volonté de trouver un théisme capable de supporter une définition de Dieu débarrassée des apories et des contradictions inhérentes au théisme classique conduit Hartshorne à définir son théisme néoclassique. D’autre part, la nécessité de dépasser l’objection faite par Findlay sur l’impossibilité de donner une existence concrète à un Dieu défini de manière abstraite conduit Hartshorne à élaborer une notion bipolaire de Dieu. Par sa découverte d’une seconde forme de l’argument d’Anselme, Hartshorne propose une définition de Dieu qui peut enfin être pensée en métaphysique, métaphysique qu’il définit comme une tentative de formulation des vérités existentielles nécessaires ou non restrictives. L’intérêt à nos yeux de cette étude est d’avoir saisi la place capitale d’Anselme et de son argument ontologique dans la pensée de Hartshorne. De plus, la réhabilitation, dix siècles plus tard, d’Anselme par Hartshorne ouvre la voie à d’autres dialogues entre des penseurs situés à des siècles les uns des autres. Elle montre aussi qu’en matière de métaphysique, et surtout en ce qui concerne la question de Dieu, la recherche philosophique et la recherche théologique offrent aujourd’hui comme il y a dix siècles un intérêt qui ne s’est pas encore épuisé. 173 174 BIBLIOGRAPHIE • Livres de Hartshorne A Natural Theology for Our Time, Open Court, La Salle, Illinois, 1967.

  • Peirce and the Founding of American Sociology
    Journal of Classical Sociology Copyright © 2006 SAGE Publications London, Thousand Oaks and New Delhi Vol 6(1): 23–50 DOI: 10.1177/1468795X06061283 www.sagepublications.com Peirce and the Founding of American Sociology NORBERT WILEY University of Illinois, Urbana ABSTRACT This paper argues that Charles Sanders Peirce contributed signific- antly to the founding of American sociology, doing so at the level of philosophical presuppositions or meta-sociology. I emphasize two of his ideas. One is semiotics, which is virtually the same as the anthropologists’ concept of culture. This latter concept in turn was essential to clarifying the sociologists’ idea of the social or society. Peirce also created the modern theory of the dialogical self, which explained the symbolic character of human beings and proved foundational for social psychology. Politically Peirce was a right-wing conservative, but his ideas eventually contributed to the egalitarian views of culures and sub-cultures. In addition his ideas contributed, by way of unanticipated consequences, to the 20th- century human rights revolutions in the American legal system. Thus he was both a founder of sociology and a founder of American political liberalism. KEYWORDS early American sociology, inner speech, Peirce, semiotics Introduction Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914) originated several ideas that contributed to social theory, particularly to its philosophical underpinnings. Some of these are in unfamiliar contexts and in need of a slight re-framing or re-conceptualization. They also need to be related to each other. But, assuming these finishing touches, Peirce hadFirst a cluster of powerful insights that tradeProof heavily on the notions of the symbolic, the semiotic, the dialogical, the cultural and the self – ideas central to social theory.

My project in this essay is first to describe what philosophy was like in the 1950s, when Al Plantinga was a graduate student and entered the ranks of professional philosophers, and then to pinpoint the contribution his work has made to the difference between philosophy then and now. I will forego describing what philosophy is like today. Most readers of this essay will already know what philosophy is like today.

Peirce and Abduction Inference Abstract Charles Sanders Peirce remains a largely forgotten American original thinker, whose interests and accomplishments span various disciplines in philosophy, mathematics, and science. He considered himself, first and foremost, a logician and claimed to have discovered a new logical method of analysis. In addition to the forms of deduction and induction that date back to Aristotle, Peirce’s new method became known as abduction. Never satisfied, he kept changing his terminology and his intentions about what this new method was supposed to do. He tried to demonstrate how abduction worked at least a couple of times, but his explanations were never fully worked out and had problems. Today, abduction is used as a synonym for what philosopher Gilbert Harman called “inference to the best explanation.” My paper draws from both primary and secondary sources to give a high-level overview of abduction for a general reader who has taken an introductory logic class.

  • Alvin Plantinga, God's Philosopher
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-85531-0 - Alvin Plantinga Edited by Deane-Peter Baker Excerpt More information Introduction: Alvin Plantinga, God’s Philosopher DEANE-PETER BAKER INTRODUCTION The dominance of logical empiricism’s verification principle in the middle part of the twentieth century forced philosophy of religion almost entirely out of the philosophy curriculum, and, with a few notable exceptions, few philosophers willingly identified themselves as Christians. However, logical empiricism collapsed under the weight of its own principles, and in the spring of 1980 Time magazine reported that in a “quiet revolution in thought and arguments that hardly anyone could have foreseen only two decades ago, God is making a comeback. Most intriguingly, this is happening not among theologians or ordinary believers ...but in the crisp, intellectual circles of academic philosophers, where the consensus had long banished the Almighty from fruitful discourse.”1 Alvin Plantinga, one of those who had played a role in the demise of the verification principle, was identified by Time as a central figure in this ‘quiet revolution’. In fact, the article went so far as to label him the “world’sleading Protestant philosopher of God.”2 Being singled out in this way by arguably the world’s foremost news magazine is made all the more remarkable by the fact that, at the time, Plantinga was a professor of philosophy at a small Calvinist college, whose most important work was yet to come. The intervening years since Time’s report have seen Plantinga emerge as one of contemporary Western philosophy’s leading thinkers of any stripe.

  • Theological Method Fall 2013 Aug
    HOUSTON GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY TH/PH 710 Theological Method Fall 2013 Aug. 29-Dec. 12; Thursdays 5:30-8:00 Dr. Doug Kennard, Professor of New Testament 713-942-9505 [email protected] The mission of Houston Graduate School of Theology is empowering spiritual leadership through the intellectual, spiritual, and vocational development of men and women in order to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. I. COURSE DESCRIPTION The course is an analytical study of theological method examining the rival philosophical and traditional contributions of philosophy of science and religion, theology, and historical exegesis as employed in the study of the historical Jesus. A Lakatos scientific and theological method is proposed to incorporate a critical realism that includes rational and analytical arguments for God with a linguistically empirical hermeneutic confirmed through a Piercian pragmatic spiral individually and with peer review (a la Thiselton and Ricoeur). From this exegesis, biblical theology is proposed to substantially populate the theological agenda (as was initially proposed by Gabler), within the philosophical and theological framework demonstrated. This constructive theological expression will be contextualized to missional ministry. III. COURSE OBJECTIVES (TEST REVIEW: A-I) Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to: A. Define and describe various epistemologies and evaluate the relative merits of each for doing theology (exam). B. Determine one’s particular epistemology, describe it, and make an apologetic defense for it (exam). C. Determine one’s particular theological method, describe it, and make an apologetic defense of it (exam). D. Define various religious language views, identify their relationships to epistemologies and theological method, and evaluate the relative merits of each of them for doing theology (exam).

  • Is Paul Weiss' and Ludwig Von Bertalanffy's System Thinking Still Valid Today?
    Proceedings of the 50th Annual Meeting of the International Society for the Systems ... Page 1 of 10 Is Paul Weiss' and Ludwig von Bertalanffy's System Thinking still valid today? Manfred Drack1 and Wilfried Apfalter2 1Department of Theoretical Biology, University of Vienna, Althanstraße 14, 1090 Wien, Austria, [email protected] 2Department for Behavior, Neurobiology, and Cognition, University of Vienna, Althanstraße 14, 1090 Wien, Austria, [email protected] Abstract The roots of what is today called general system theory (GST) can be traced back to the Vienna of the early 20th century. In the 1920s Paul Weiss performed experiments in the Viennese Prater Vivarium (a privately founded research institution in the area of experimental biology) and found that his results were totally incompatible with the prevailing mechanistic concepts dominating the biologists way of thinking. Therefore he proposed a system view. At about the same time Ludwig von Bertalanffy, coming from philosophical grounds, tried to overcome the dispute in biology of vitalism versus mechanism by developing an organismic concept. They met each other and discussed the biological concepts when von Bertalanffy was still a student. Rupert Riedl knew both scholars personally and thought that their ideas are of paramount importance not only for the biologists world view. Thus he initiated a research project called "System Theory Today", in which the developments in system theory in the last three decades should be investigated. The focus of the project here described lies in the reception of system theory after von Bertalanffy's dead. Further developments as well as reductionistic tendencies are to be tackled.

  • The Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce(Henceforth
    Excerpts from The Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce (henceforth CP) reproducing Vols. I-VI ed. Charles Hartshorne and Paul Weiss (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1931-1935), Vols. VII-VIII ed. Arthur W. Burks (same publisher, 1958) --in keeping with copyright laws, I have to specify that this .pdf file is for CLASS-USE ONLY. You can print off one copy for personal use and then trash the downloaded file, or just keep one copy of the .pdf file on your computer for the duration of the course, and then trash it at the end of the course.--- The story of the Harvard edition titled CP, which we here re-present in electronic form, is a story fairly well known, and a sad one. Hartshorne and Weiss, along with Burks later, deserve our thanks for getting the volumes out, but we must at the same time regret the manner of their editing, which was to construct a topical scheme of their own devising under which to sort and dissect the papers left whole to Harvard through the good intentions of Josiah Royce. How Harvard abused that trust! The story, at least, is now out with the bursting upon the scene of the newly-worked (after more than thirty years of repression) biographical dissertation of Joseph Brent in the form of the book, Charles Sanders Peirce. A Life (Bloomington, IN: Indiana University Press, 1993). This publication is a tribute in equal parts to the writing skill and historical tenacity of its author, to the editorial genius (to say nothing of the detective skills) of Thomas A.
