A Priori Rules: Wittgenstein on the Normativity of Logic
A Priori Rules: Wittgenstein on the Normativity of Logic Peter Railton The University of Michigan Introduction Like many, I have long been uneasy with the category of the a priori. Perhaps I have simply misunderstood it. It has seemed to me, at any rate, that asserting a claim or principle as a priori is tantamount to claiming that we would be justified in ruling out alternatives in advance, no matter what the future course of experience might hold. Yet in my own case, I have felt it would be mere bluffing were I to lodge such a claim. I certainly could not discover in myself any sense of the requisite authority, nor even any clear idea of where to look for guidance in forming it. Contemplating widely-used examples of "propositions true a priori" did not remove my worry. For a start, there was the shadow of history. A claim like "logical truth is a priori" or "the attribution of rationality is a priori in intentional explanation" kept sounding, to my ears, as if they echoed "the Euclidean geometry of space is a priori" or "the principle of sufficient reason is a priori in physical explanation". And these echoes awakened just sort of the worry that had initially unsettled me: I would pronouce myself satisfied that certain claims, at least, were safe from the threat of contrary experience, just on the eve of developments in our on-going view of the world that would lead a sensible person to want to reopen the question. So I would emerge looking like the (perhaps apocryphal) fellow who claimed, in the wake of the great inventions of the nineteenth century, that the US Patent Office could now be closed, since all the really new ideas had been used up. -

Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications Philosophy, Department of 1-1-2015 Philosophical Historiography in Marburg Neo- Kantianism: The Example of Cassirer’s Erkenntnisproblem Sebastian Luft Marquette University, [email protected] Published version. "Philosophical Historiography in Marburg Neo-Kantianism: The Example of Cassirer’s Erkenntnisproblem", in From Hegel to Windelband, Eds. Gerald Hartung and Valentin Pluder. Boston : De Gruyter, 2015: 181-205. Publisher Link. © 2015 Walter De Gruyter. Used with permission. Sebastian Luft Philosophical Historiography in Marburg Neo-Kantianism: The Example of Cassirer's Erkenntnisproblem Introduction: Philosophical Historiography as Problem-History. Windelband as Paradigm We can think that "problem-history"l is exclusively a name for one way of philo sophical historiography among others. As such it is a method that recounts the history of philosophy in terms of its problems, and not in terms of philosophical personalities or cultural epochs. In this understanding, problem-history proceeds with the naIve assumption that problems exist "in themselves", that they are merely repeated and manifested differently in different epochs. Plainly stated, this sounds both trivial and problematic. And if this reading is true then it is no wonder that problem-history is accorded little interest today, despite the fact that the classical authors of problem-history writing are still readily consulted. Apart from the fact that such writers are still being constantly exploited for re search purposes in the present, their works are granted no independent philo sophical value. This applies equally to the authors of these works: they are not considered as independent philosophers but "only" as historians. -
François Duchesneau, Leibniz, Le Vivant Et L'organisme, Paris: J. Vrin
François Duchesneau, Leibniz, le vivant et l’organisme, Paris: J. Vrin, 2010. 348 p. Reviewed by Justin E. H. Smith, Concordia University or some time, this reviewer has been championing the translation into English of François Duchesneau’s many books on the natural philosophy of Leibniz. GreaterF availability of his work in the English-speaking world, along with that of Michel Fichant and, more recently, the contributions of Anne-Lise Rey, Raphaële Andrault, and Arnaud Pelletier, would in combination play a powerful role in helping scholars to form a richer picture of Leibniz’s natural-philosophical model of the corporeal world, and of this model’s centrality to his deepest and most mature philosophical project. With the publication of his most recent book, Duchesneau has reconfirmed the urgency of learning about this side of Leibniz. The principal purpose of this review will be simply to summarize the recent book and to impart in a synoptic way the picture of Leibniz it draws for readers who may not have the time or capacity to work through the French text. If I am successful, this synopsis might then serve as an argument for the eventual publication of a translation. Following this, I will conclude by raising a few questions that I see as arising from this rich study, questions that might in turn serve as the germs of future research along the path Duchesneau has carved. Duchesneau’s book has six principal theses. First, he argues that Leibniz is committed to the need for a distinct philosophical account of the living being within the order of nature, as well as of the integrated and functional character of the micromachines that compose it. -
Love and the Knowledge of God in Augustine's De Trinitate
LOVE AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IN AUGUSTINE'S DE TRINITATE LOVE AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IN AUGUSTINE'S DE TRINITATE By MARTIN WESTERHOLM, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Martin Westerholm, August 2009 MASTER OF ARTS (2009) McMaster University (Religious Studies) Hamilton, ON TITLE: Love and the Knowledge of God in Augustine's De Trinitate AUTHOR: Martin Westerholm, B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor P. Travis Kroeker NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 130 11 Abstract: This thesis offers a close reading of Augustine's De Trinitate that is aimed at addressing the vexed question of the unity of the work. The most influential 20th century interpretation of De Trinitate holds that Augustine moves from a theological examination of the nature of the Trinity based on scripture to a philosophical investigation based on the structure of the human mind. This interpretation has led to the misconceptions that Augustine espouses a form of natural theology and separates theological doctrine from the concerns of the practical life. This thesis shows that De Trinitate is unified around the methodological rule that only the mind that loves God is capable of knowing him. This means, first, that Augustine's procedure is improperly characterized as natural theology; and, second, that, in making love a prerequisite for, and means to, knowledge of God, the ethical question of the ordering of love is inseparable from doctrinal concerns. This thesis shows that De Trinitate offers a coherent and compelling moral ontology in which the perceived tensions in Augustine'S theology of love can be reconciled. -

Chapter 10 The ‘New’ Heidegger Babette Babich 10.1 Calculating Heidegger: From the Old to the New The ‘new’ Heidegger corresponds less to what would or could be the Heidegger of the moment on some imagined ‘cutting edge’ than it corresponds to what some wish they had in Heidegger and above all in philosophical discussions of Heidegger’s thought. We have moved, we suppose, beyond grappling with the Heidegger of Being and Time . And we also tend to suppose a fairly regular recurrence of scandal—the current instantiation infl amed by the recent publication of Heidegger’s private, philosophical, Tagebücher, invokes what the editor of these recently published ‘black notebooks’ attempts to distinguish as Heidegger’s ‘historial antisemitism’ — ‘historial’ here serving to identify Heidegger’s references to World Jewry in one of the volumes. -

Mind, Body, Language
Horst Steinke Mind, Body, and Language in Vico’s Scienza nuova Laboratorio dell’ISPF, XVII, 2020 [25] DOI: 10.12862/Lab20STH 1. Introduction The theme and topics of this essay are taken from the conclusion of Book IV of Scienza nuova (1744) where all three entities appear in a single compact statement, as shown here, first in English translation, followed by the original statements in the 1744 and 1730 editions: To sum up, a man is properly only mind, body, and speech, and speech stands as it were midway between mind and body. Hence with regard to what is just, the certain began in mute times with the body. Then when the so-called articulate languages were invented, it advanced to ideas made certain by spoken formulae. And finally, when our human reason was fully developed, it reached its end in the true in the ideas them- selves with regard to what is just, as determined by reason from the detailed circum- stances of the facts1. In somma non essendo altro l’uomo propiamente, che mente, corpo, e favella; e la favella essendo come posta in mezzo alla mente, & al corpo; il CERTO d’intorno al Giusto co- minciò ne’ tempi muti dal corpo; dipoi ritruovate le favelle che si dicon’ articolate, passò alle certe idee, ovvero formole di parole; finalmente essendosi spiegata tutta la nostra umana ra- gione, andò a terminare nel VERO dell’idee d’intorno al Giusto, determinate con la Ra- gione dall’ultime circostanze de’ fatti […]2. In cotal guisa, non essendo altro l’huomo propiamente, che mente, corpo, e favella, e la favella essendo mezza tra la mente, e ‘l corpo; il Certo cominciò ne’ tempi muti dal corpo; di- poi, ritruovate le favelle articolate, si passò alle certe idee delle formole; finalmente, venendo la ragione spiegata, terminò in quello dell’idee determinate con ragione d’intorno all’utilità; la qual volontà ragionata è ‘l subbjetto della giustizia, e di tutte le ragioni, ch’ ella ne detta3. -

Memoria, Intellectus, Voluntas: the Augustinian Centre of Robert Crouse's Scholarly Work
Memoria, Intellectus, Voluntas: the Augustinian Centre of Robert Crouse’s Scholarly Work1 Wayne J. Hankey DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY AND KING’S COLLEGE, HALIFAX Dionysius 30 (2012): 41–76. I. “I LOVED WISDOM AND SOUGHT HER OUT FROM MY YOUTH. I DESIRED TO MAKE HER MY 2 SPOUSE, AND I WAS A LOVER OF HER BEAUTY”, LIBER SAPIENTIAE Robert Crouse dedicated a long and richly productive scholarly life to western intellectual and artistic culture, covering the whole range from the beginnings of Greek and Jewish literature to contemporary philosophy, poetry and theology. By his preaching, teaching, and publishing, by his own work, and by what he nurtured in others, he laboured to rethink the western spiritual heritage and, thus, to rebuild it. For the rebuilding, his prescription was the transformation of minds, and his aim was enabling vision: purified, simple intuition or understanding, the loving intellectus which is the goal of faith. For him the requisite was the hard intellectual work of restoring the union of philosophy with theology. Though eminently effective practically in everything from music to gardening, university administration and pastoral care, the primary service of Robert’s life to the university and the church was intellectual labour, understood Platonically in terms of recollection, not machinations wrought by synods and committees. Robert wrote a memorial for his teacher, friend, fellow Nova Scotian, mediaevalist, and philosophical theologian, ultimately his ecclesiastical and theological opponent, Professor Eugene Rathbone Fairweather of Trinity College, Toronto. There was even more in common between them, including celibacy, the Anglican priesthood, Classical studies, theological doctorates from American universities, careers of university teaching, Anglo-Catholicism, and socialism; indeed, Eugene Fairweather also died at 80, ten years before Robert. -

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In May 2006, at a seminar on Leibniz in Uppsala, with Lilli Alanen and John Carriero, I had the great pleasure and honour of making acquaintance with Olli Koistinen. I made a remark on Kant’s metaphysics, which Olli did not think was particularly accurate. But to my surprise, Olli later chatted me up, and it turned out that he had taken keen interest in Kant’s lectures on metaphysics. -
