  • Susan Stebbing and the Vienna Circle on Moral Philosophy I Introduction
    Susan Stebbing and the Vienna Circle on Moral Philosophy Anne Siegetsleitner SWIP UK Panel at the Joint Session of the Mind Association and Aristotelian Society, University of Warwick, UK, July 11, 2015 Abstract: Susan Stebbing, who is rarely mentioned in the history of analytic philosophy, was a prominent figure in the Unity of Science movement and maintained relationships with leading members of the Vienna Circle. This paper compares Stebbing’s conception of moral philosophy to those of Carnap, Neurath, and Schlick. At first glance, the conceptions of moral philosophy held by Stebbing and the Vienna Circle differ widely, as Stebbing rejects the logical empiricist standard view of moral philosophy generally ascribed to the Vienna Circle. What we now call normative or substantial ethics – and what is ruled out by the standard view – is an essential part of moral philosophy in Stebbing’s conception. A closer look reveals, however, that Schlick shares this view. He practiced normative and applied ethics on a eudaimonistic basis. The discrepancies further diminish once more general questions are addressed. Stebbing, Carnap, Neurath and Schlick endorse the perspective of scientific humanism. They are convinced that it is the task of humanity itself to improve human life conditions and that science is one of the most valuable means to this improvement. Therefore, Stebbing is close to the Vienna Circle in her conception of moral philosophy once the Vienna Circle is no longer reduced to a general rejection of normative ethics, and scientific humanism is taken into account. New insights may be gained by reconsidering the Ethical Movement. I Introduction Susan Stebbing (1885–1943) was the first female professor of philosophy in Great Britain, a leading figure of the so-called Cambridge School of Analysis, co-founder of the journal Analysis, and president of the Mind Association as well as of the Aristotelian Society.

  • Aristotelian Finitism
    Synthese DOI 10.1007/s11229-015-0827-9 S.I. : INFINITY Aristotelian finitism Tamer Nawar1 Received: 12 January 2014 / Accepted: 25 June 2015 © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2015 Abstract It is widely known that Aristotle rules out the existence of actual infinities but allows for potential infinities. However, precisely why Aristotle should deny the existence of actual infinities remains somewhat obscure and has received relatively little attention in the secondary literature. In this paper I investigate the motivations of Aristotle’s finitism and offer a careful examination of some of the arguments con- sidered by Aristotle both in favour of and against the existence of actual infinities. I argue that Aristotle has good reason to resist the traditional arguments offered in favour of the existence of the infinite and that, while there is a lacuna in his own ‘logi- cal’ arguments against actual infinities, his arguments against the existence of infinite magnitude and number are valid and more well grounded than commonly supposed. Keywords Aristotle · Aristotelian commentators · Infinity · Mathematics · Metaphysics 1 Introduction It is widely known that Aristotle embraced some sort of finitism and denied the exis- tence of so-called ‘actual infinities’ while allowing for the existence of ‘potential infinities’. It is difficult to overestimate the influence of Aristotle’s views on this score and the denial of the (actual) existence of infinities became a commonplace among philosophers for over two thousand years. However, the precise grounds for Aristo- tle’s finitism have not been discussed in much detail and, insofar as they have received attention, his reasons for ruling out the existence of (actual) infinities have often been B Tamer Nawar [email protected] 1 University of Oxford, 21 Millway Close, Oxford OX2 8BJ, UK 123 Synthese deemed obscure or ad hoc (e.g.

Error[en_EN | Export.Bookseller. While Bergsonism was fashionable, L. Susan Stebbing, Bertrand Russell, Moritz Schlick, and MediumType | SE] Rudolf Carnap launched different critical attacks against some of Bergson’s views. This book examines this series of critical responses to Bergsonism early in the history of analytic philosophy. Analytic criticisms of Bergsonism were influenced by William James, who saw Bergson as an ‘anti-intellectualist’ ally of American Pragmatism, and Max Scheler, who saw him as a prophet of Lebensphilosophie. Some of the main analytic objections to Bergson are answered in the work of Karin Costelloe-Stephen. Analytic anti-Bergsonism accompanied the earlier refutations of idealism by Russell and Moore, and later influenced the Vienna Circle’s critique of metaphysics. It eventually contributed to the formation of the view that ‘analytic’ philosophy is divided from its ‘continental’ counterpart.

  • 'Continental' Philosophy
    Russell’s critique of Bergson and the divide between ‘Analytic’ and ‘Continental’ philosophy Final draft version of article published in the Balkan Journal of Philosophy, Vol. 3, No. 1, pp. 123- 134, 2011. Andreas Vrahimis Birkbeck, University of London 2010 Russell’s critique of Bergson and the divide between ‘Analytic’ and ‘Continental’ philosophy Abstract: In 1911, Bergson visited Britain for a number of lectures which led to his increasing popularity. Russell personally encountered Bergson during his lecture at University College London on 28 October, and on 30 October Bergson attended one of Russell’s lectures. Russell went on to write a number of critical articles on Bergson, contributing to the hundreds of publications on Bergson which ensued following these lectures. Russell’s critical writings have been seen as part of a history of controversies between so-called ‘Continental’ and ‘Analytic’ philosophers in the twentieth century. Yet Russell’s engagement with Bergson’s thought comes as a response to a particular British form of Bergsonism and is involved with the wider phenomenon of the British import of Bergsonism (by figures connected in different ways to Russell, such as Hulme, Wildon Carr or Eliot). Though this may challenge the view of Russell and Bergson as enacting an early version of the ‘Analytic’-‘Continental’ divide, there are however some particular characterisations of Bergson by Russell which contribute to the subsequent formation of the ‘rotten scene’ (Glendinning 2006: 69) of the divide in the second half of the twentieth century. Keywords: Russell; Bergson; Analytic; Continental; divide 1. Introduction The twentieth century has seen the rise of an image of Western academic philosophy as divided between two predominant camps, one ‘Continental’ and the other ‘Analytic’.

  • Virtues of Art and Human Well-Being
    Virtues of Art Peter Goldie and Dominic McIver Lopes I—PETER GOLDIE VIRTUES OF ART AND HUMAN WELL-BEING What is the point of art, and why does it matter to us human beings? The answer that I will give in this paper, following on from an earlier paper on the same subject, is that art matters because our being actively engaged with art, either in its production or in its appreciation, is part of what it is to live well. The focus in the paper will be on the dispositions—the virtues of art production and of art appreciation—that are necessary for this kind of active engagement with art. To begin with, I will argue that these disposi- tions really are virtues and not mere skills. Then I will show how the virtues of art, and their exercise in artistic activity, interweave with the other kinds of virtue which are exercised in ethical and contemplative activity. And fi- nally, I will argue that artistic activity affords, in a special way, a certain kind of emotional sharing that binds us together with other human beings. I Introduction. The central idea that I want to argue for is that artistic virtues—virtues of art production and of art appreciation—are as much genuine virtues as ethical and intellectual virtues, and that, as such, their exercise, like the exercise of these other virtues, is done for its own sake and is constitutive of human well-being.1 In a recent paper, ‘Towards a Virtue Theory of Art’ (Goldie 2007a), I began to explore this idea, in an Aristotelian spirit, by drawing an analogy between ethics and art.

  • The Philosophy of Film and Film As Philosophy
    11 THE PHILOSOPHY OF FILM AND FILM AS PHILOSOPHY Tom McClelland (University of Sussex) There are two key respects in which the medium of film and the discipline of philosophy can intersect. First, the philosophy of film is an established sub- discipline that asks philosophical questions about the nature of film: What, if anything, are the necessary and sufficient conditions of being a film? How do audiences engage imaginatively with films? What cognitive or emotional value does the viewing of motion pictures have? Here the philosophical practice of clarifying concepts and exploring abstract problems simply takes film as its object. Second, the more controversial notion of film as philosophy suggests that films themselves can take up philosophical issues, and can contribute to a range of philosophical debates. Here the object of investigation might be the epistemic problem of skepticism, the metaphysical problem of personal identity or the ethical problem of why we should be moral.1 But on this approach the film itself participates in the philosophical investigation. This paper is primarily concerned with the idea of film as philosophy (FAP) and explores some of the problems that this notion raises. Putting documentary and art films aside, I will focus on the idea that popular narrative film can “be” philosophy.2 The two over-arching issues surrounding FAP can be captured by way of an analogy. Someone suggests that you go to the cinema tonight to see a popular new film. In response to this suggestion there are two questions you might naturally ask: whether there are any tickets available, and whether the film is any good.
