Is it coincidence that fundamental research in ship construction was assiduously prosecuted in Britain during the period just before 1900, when the maritime commerce of that great nation held an assured position of world leadership? Is it coincidence that over the last quarter century airplane research at Göttingen and other German centers was heavily subsidized and vigorously pursued and that in this war German aviation has come spectacularly to the forefront? Is there a lesson to be learned here in America from the consideration of such concurrence?” —R.G.D.

  • Ordinary Language Analysis and Theological Method
    ORDINARY LANGUAGE ANALYSIS AND THEOLOGICAL METHOD .ARTHUR F. HOLMES, PH.D. ° The philosophical bete noir of the 1930's and 1940's is dead. Such at least is the case with that classical fonn of logical positivism which re­ duced all cognition to science and forced all science into a descriptivist and operational mold. Its principle tool, the verifiability theory of mean­ ing, has been weakened beyond effectiveness, metaphysics-once elimi­ nated from meaningful discourse-has been reintrOduced into respectable philosophic society in a chastened but profitable fonn, and as a result theology has been given another chance to show what it is really talking about. From today's perspective we might even regard logical positivism as an unpleasant but instructive interlude in the history of traditional philosophic inquiry. It was unpleasant because of its radical reduction­ ism, but it was instructive because of the attention it forced to questions of philosophic methodology and because of the repudiation it has won 1 of eighteenth and nineteenth century rationalisms. • If theology is to take advantage of this new chance to explain itself, it must learn from the positivist interlude to avoid pouring theology into either a rationalistic or a scientistic mold; for, let us face it, theology has at times mistreated Biblical religion, whether by tying its meaning and truth to Scientific-type verification or by uncritically adopting the ration­ alism of Thomas Aquinas or Thomas Reid or John Locke or even Hegel. Theology is undoubtedly a "rational inquiry" into redemptive history and revealed truth, but the thing we must watch is our definition of "ral;ional" and the consequent method of "inquiry." In British philosophy the bete noir has been succeeded by what is usually called "ordinary language analysis," a movement which had its roots in the Cambridge philosophers G.

  • Epistemic Closure, Home Truths, and Easy Philosophy
    Epistemic Closure, Home Truths and Easy Philosophy* There is a long-standing and well-known dispute in epistemology regarding whether knowledge is closed under known entailment. The general idea of such closure (“CLR”) is this: CLR1: For all persons S, necessarily, if S knows both that p and that p entails q, then S knows that q. In spite of the intuitiveness of CLR, there has been a decades-old stalemate regarding whether it is true, largely because some of the “Moorean” things we seem not only to know, but to know easily (like that I am sitting on a green chair)1 seem clearly to entail “heavyweight” philosophical things. These deep, philosophical items (like that I am not actually lying in bed dreaming or a brain in a vat (“BIV”) being fed green-chair stimulation through a tube) would seem to be of a nature that, if we can know them at all, we surely cannot easily know them. There is general agreement on the sorts of things that may be easily known and the sorts of deep philosophical truths that surely may not be. But on one side of the CLR dispute we find those who believe that because certain things are both known and known to entail items that not only may not be easily known, but arguably may not be known at all, CLR must be false; while on the other side of this debate we find those who, believing CLR to be true, either infer that the two required instances of knowledge (that p and that p entails q) are not both simultaneous with and appropriately connected to each other, or take the standards for what is required to know p to be so different from those required to know q, that no reasonable CLR can bridge the equivocal instances of “knowledge.”2 In this paper, I hope to demonstrate that two widely accepted facts * Thanks are due to Larry Tapper, Jim Van Cleve, Ron Allen, J.P.
