This school eventually became known as the Lublin School of Philosophy or (to stress cer- Itain its features) the Lublin School of Classical Philosophy or else the Lu- blin School of Realistic Philosophy. The founders of the school were: the historian of philosophy Stefan Swieżawski, the metaphysician Mieczysław A. Krąpiec OP, the logicians and methodologists of science Jerzy Kalinowski and Rev. Stanisław Kamiński, and the ethicist Rev. Karol Wojtyla (the later pope John Paul II). These philosophers shared a belief in the primary role of the history of philosophy and broadly understood logic in the teaching and practice of philosophy. They considered metaphysics (theory of being) to be the central philosophical discipline within which they proposed an original (yet concurrent with the proposals of Étienne Gilson and Jacques Maritain) interpretation of Saint Thomas Aquinas’s thought (so-called exis- tential Thomism). They regarded it as their duty to elaborate the most im- portant issues in classical philosophy in dialogue with contemporary phi- losophy and with the awareness of the cognitive functions and limitations of science. Although not all colleagues and disciples of the aforementioned philosophers shared every element of that program, they managed to cre- ate a rather coherent research community, the legacy of which, as well as didactic and scholarly influence on Polish philosophy of the second half of the twentieth century, is significant. It is worth noting that the Lublin School 8 Preface of Philosophy achieved those goals despite serious limitations which (until 1989) were imposed by the actions of the communist authorities, the exter- nal domination of Marxist ideology and numerous difficulties in contacts with Western philosophy. In such conditions the Lublin School – through its publications and teaching activities – prepared for several generations of Polish Catholic intelligentsia an interesting proposal of a rational ground- ing of the foundations of the Christian worldview. It was to a large extent thanks to the Lublin School that the Polish intelligentsia – by becoming aware of the connections and differences between science, philosophy and religion – was not subjected solely to the influence of various types of Marx- ism and Scientism. In this volume we attempt to compare the accomplishments of the Lu- blin School of Philosophy with selected currents and schools of philosophy in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The introductory chapter was prepared by two of Kamiński’s direct disciples: Rev. Andrzej Bronk and Stanisław Majdański. The remaining chapters, written by authors coming from later generations of the School, have been arranged in accordance with the philosophical disciplines practiced within it. Since as it was already mentioned metaphysics was treated as the central discipline in the Lublin School of Philosophy, in the first part of the book we juxtapose certain metaphysical topics of the school – especially Krąpiec’s metaphysics – with discussions conducted within Analytical philosophy and Thomistic philos- ophy. We also discuss an outline of the School’s metaphysics as proposed by Antoni B. Stępień (a disciple of Swieżawski, Krąpiec and Kamiński) together with his argumentation against various sorts of naturalistic and non-theistic metaphysics. Stępień contributed to the Lublin School a textbook systematization of its views and an original elaboration of several important philosophical disciplines: epistemology, philosophical psychology (which currently tends to be called “philosophy of mind”) and aesthetics. We dedicate the second part of this volume to the first two disciplines. The comparative context of this section is the phenomenology of Roman Ingarden (who substantively and directly influenced Stępień), and in the case of philosophy of mind (in particular the issue of alter ego) – a broader phenomenological perspective connected with inquiries into contemporary cognitive science. Philosophers at the Lublin School of Philosophy predominantly advocat- ed the autonomy of philosophy. Despite that, a fair amount of their studies have been dedicated to the methodological reflection on the foundations of the sciences (and human knowledge in general) and the philosophical Preface 9 reflection inspired by the natural sciences (or else conducted in their con- text). We devoted the third part of our book to the first of these reflections. It refers to Kamiński’s meta-scientific and semiotic thought in the context of the most recent inquiries into interdisciplinarity, integration of sciences and definitions. In the last part of this volume we focus on the philosophy of nature (and of natural sciences) at the Lublin School of Philosophy. Philosophers of nature were distinguished within the Lublin School of Philosophy by a certain autonomy, maintaining some distance with regard to the main- stream of the School. Most of them did not consider themselves to be ex- istential Thomists but Louvain ones (e.g. Rev. Kazimierz Kłósak and Rev. Stanisław Mazierski), or non-Thomistic philosophers “in the context of sci- ence” (to quote Rev. Michał Heller – Mazierski’s disciple – who due to his world-class achievements, gathered around himself in Krakow a milieu of philosophers of nature, theologians of science and philosophizing natural scientists). Rev. Włodzimierz Sedlak deserves particular attention here; he considered himself to be a natural scientist rather than a philosopher and he was an author of nonstandard scientific conception (bioelectronics) and a specific sort of restorer of the metaphysics of light. We dedicate the last article of this section to his work. The remaining chapters in this section concern Mazierski’s conception of causality (against the background of the conceptions of causality which dominated in his times in physics and phi- losophy) and disputes in the Lublin School of Philosophy (and beyond it) on the concept and methodological status of philosophy of nature. This volume does not cover the accomplishments of Lublin School of Philosophy with regard to the history of philosophy, formal logic (and met- alogic), ethics, aesthetics and philosophy of religion. These issues are in- cluded in other publications within the series encompassed by the project “The Monuments of Polish Philosophical, Theological and Social Thought of the

  • Veritism, Values, Epistemic Norms (Rysiew)
    late-stage version 1 Veritism, Values, Epistemic Norms PATRICK RYSIEW 1. Introduction Stephen Grimm observes that “[a]mong contemporary epistemologists, perhaps the most prominent way to make sense of our epistemic evaluations is in teleological terms” (Grimm 2009, 243). Specifically, many epistemologists take it that what has fundamental value in the epistemic domain is truth -- or, more properly, true belief. From this, the teleological account of epistemic appraisal to which Grimm refers naturally follows: other epistemic goods besides true belief -- justification, evidence, reasons, and so on -- have epistemic value because they are appropriately related to that telos.1 (There is, of course, significant disagreement as to what the appropriate such relation is, exactly.) Such a truth-oriented approach to understanding epistemic value and assessments is a core theme of Epistemology and Cognition, and indeed of Alvin Goldman’s epistemological writings as a whole. Thus, in the former work, we’re told that “[t]he central epistemological concepts of appraisal…invoke true belief as their ultimate aim” (1986, 3), that “true belief is a prime determinant of intellectual value” (ibid., 98), and that the appropriate criteria of epistemic rightness are all truth-linked (ibid., 116). In later works, the same underlying idea, now dubbed ‘veritism’, is defended: “the cardinal [epistemic] value, or underlying motif, is something like true, or accurate belief” (2012, 52); and various intellectual virtues (2002) and public institutions and practices

  • Quine's Naturalized Epistemology, Epistemic Normativity
    Quine’s Naturalized Epistemology, Epistemic Normativity and the Gettier Problem Dr. Qilin Li ([email protected]; [email protected]) The Department of Philosophy, Peking University Beiijing, P. R. China 100871 W. V. Quine is one of the most prominent advocates of the naturalistic approach to epistemology and he argues that epistemology should be naturalized and transformed into a sub-discipline of psychology and hence a chapter in science. In his famous paper “Epistemology Naturalized,” Quine starts to compare epistemology with the logical and set-theoretical studies of the foundations of mathematics. Similar to the studies of the foundations of mathematics, as Quine suggests, epistemological studies, which are “concerned with the foundation of science” (Quine 1968, p. 69), can be divided into two sorts— one is conceptual and the other is doctrinal. Quine further argues that the conceptual ones are concerned with meaning of our material object concepts, which are clarified by reducing them into sense experience concepts; and, on the other hand, the doctrinal ones are concerned with truth of our material object beliefs, which are established by deducing them from the premises about observations. According to Quine, both sorts of studies in traditional epistemology are doomed, since traditional epistemology shows no real advantages over sciences, especially psychology. Thus, Quine advocates that we should abandon this traditional epistemology; but this does not imply the death of epistemology per se, since epistemology can still go on “in a new setting and a clarified status” (Quine 1 1968, p.82). We should embrace this new epistemology, i.e., naturalized epistemology, which “falls into place as a chapter of psychology and hence of natural science” (Quine 1968, p.82), in other words, unlike traditional epistemology, new epistemology “is contained in natural science, as a chapter of psychology” (Quine 1968, p.83).

Chapter 1, "Why Apply Mathematics?" argues that scientific theories are not about the mathematics that is applied in them, and defends this thesis against the Quine-Putnam Indispensability Argument. Chapter 2, "Scientific Ontology," is a critical study of W. V. Quine's claim that metaphysics and mathematics are epistemologically on a par with nat- ural science. It is argued that Quine's view relies on a unacceptable account of empirical confirmation. Chapter 3, "Prior and the Platonist," demonstrates the incompatibility of two popular views about time: the "Platonist" thesis that some objects exist "outside" time, and A.

I introduce the distinction between internalism and externalism, which plays a crucial role throughout the thesis. Roughly speaking, internalists think that one is justified in holding a given belief only if one can access adequate evidence for it, upon reflection, while externalists deny this.

Minęło zatem wystarczająco wiele czasu, by pokusić się o próbę podsumowania. Twórca fenomenologii wielokrotnie zapowiadał, że fenomenologia jest zadaniem kolejnych pokoleń. Nie przypuszczał jednak zapewne, że stanie się ona jednym z najważniejszych kierunków filozofii XX wieku. Dzięki uczniom Husserla jego nauka rozprzestrzeniła się w ca- łym filozoficznym świecie, co nie obyło się bez niejednokrotnego kwestio- nowania najważniejszych wyników pracy ich nauczyciela. Trzeba bowiem pamiętać, że historia fenomenologii naznaczona jest herezją. W tym jednak przypadku owa herezja ma niezwykłą moc sprawczą, by przywołać przy- padek Doriona Cairnsa w USA, Jeana -Paula Sartre’a we Francji czy Jana Patočki w Czechosłowacji. Tę tezę potwierdza także fenomenologia ontolo- giczna Romana Ingardena.

  • SKEPTICISM, CONTEXTUALISM, and DISCRIMINATION Jonathan Schaffer
    SKEPTICISM, CONTEXTUALISM, AND DISCRIMINATION Jonathan Schaffer The skeptic (following Peter Unger 1975) says that “knowledge” is an absolute term, requiring the elimination of all logical possibilities of falsehood. The contextualist (following David Lewis 1979, Fred Dretske 1981, inter alia) says that “knowledge” is a relationally absolute term, requiring the elimination of only the contextually relevant possibilities of falsehood. Which is the better hypothesis about “knowledge”? And what implications do these hypotheses about “knowledge” have for knowledge? I argue that (i) it is the skeptic who has the better hypothesis about “knowledge”; but (ii) both the skeptical and contextualist hypotheses presuppose our capacity for epistemically salient discrimination, where (iii) such discrimination reveals why skeptical scenarios fail to undermine our epistemic standing. There is a deeply anti-skeptical morale buried in the skepticism- contextualism dispute. 1. Skepticism, Unger Style The skeptic says that we know nothing, or at least far less than is usually supposed. The skeptic may target various domains and employ various arguments. I am interested in the sort of skeptic who targets knowledge about the external world, with the following argument: 1) One cannot know that one is not a brain-in-a-vat (or dreaming, or under the spell of Descartes’s demon, or in some other skeptical scenario in which appearances deceive); 2) If one cannot know that one is not a brain-in-a-vat, then one cannot know that one has hands (or any other mundane proposition about the external world); 3) Therefore one cannot know that one has hands (or any other mundane proposition about the external world).

The chapters of this thesis are six successive case studies of this ―divine sense‖ in western Christian thought. Research interest began about John Calvin‘s particular version: the sensus divinitatis (the sense of the divine). Initial efforts were to exposit its meaning and then discover from where the idea developed. Calvin sought to reproduce a biblical outlook. So the trail was expected to trace back to biblical starting points. Strangely, just immediately after the forming of the New Testament, Calvin‘s exact concept is missing. There is in early Christian centuries not an absence of any ―divine sense‖ – just that of Calvin‘s particular version. Research direction adjusted to take stock of the varied concepts represented across Christian history and via six case studies set out the development of the ―divine sense‖.
