  • FOP Newsletter Fall 2003
    Friends of Philosophy Newsletter FALL EDITION OCTOBER 2004 Dear Friends of Philosophy, The Department of Philosophy continues to evolve in the face of recent and upcoming departures and arrivals. Dr. Howard Pospesel, a dedicated member of the faculty for 39 years, will retire in May 2004, bringing the number of faculty departures since 1998 to six. I will miss Howard tremendously. He has served as my unofficial “Senior Advisor” since I became Department Chair in 1999, and has saved me from many disasters and helped me with his wise counsel. But I have promised not to write embarrassing reminiscences of him until after his retirement becomes official, so a suitable acknowledgement of his achievements will have to wait until next year’s newsletter. During that same period we have gained five new faculty members, and hope to appoint two additional professors soon, and yet two more in due course. This has been a period of sustained transition and renewal. Through all this change, we have worked hard to provide the best education in philosophy that we can. Our students are flourishing at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Our faculty members are not only fine teachers, but productive, internationally-recognized scholars as well. The Department of Philosophy is one of which its Friends, and the UM community, can be proud. As always, the department will host many lectures, dialogues and speakers on a variety of topics this year, to which you are invited and always welcome. Of particular interest to our Friends is the Dialogue on “Just War Theory and the Conflict in Iraq,” led by our former student, Dr.

  • Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind"
    HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY QUARTERLY Volume 17, Number 2, April 2000 THE "DENOUEMENT" OF "EMPIRICISM AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF MIND" Keith Lehrer and David G . Stern I. INTRODUCTION ilfrid Sellars spoke of section 59 of his classic paper, "Em- piricism and the Philosophy of Mind" (Sellars 1997, first pub- lishedW as Sellars 1956), as the denouement of the myth of Jones, the story about "bur Rylean ancestors" (1997, p. 90) that occupies the last part of that paper. Sellars's myth aims to show humans limited to a language with a vocabulary that speaks of "public prop- erties of public objects" (1997, p . 91) could learn to speak of inner episodes and immediate experience . By section 58, Jones, the protagonist of Sellars's anthropological science fiction, has devel- oped a theoretical framework that allows him to explain the behavior of others in terms of "thoughts": postulated linguistic entities, modeled on overt utterances, but akin to the particles of physical theory in that they are theoretical, not observational . Section 59 reads as follows: Here, then, is the denouement. I have suggested a number of times that although it would be most misleading to say that concepts pertaining to thinking are theoretical concepts, yet their status might be illuminated by means of the contrast between theoretical and non-theoretical discourse . We are now in a position to see exactly why this is so. For once our fictitious ancestor, Jones, has developed the theory that overt verbal behaviour is the expression of thoughts, and taught his compatriots to make use of the theory in interpreting each others' behaviour, it is but a short step to the use of this language in self-description.
