| | Analytic philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | One interpretation of these remarks found expression in the doctrine of the logical positivists that statements about value--including all ethical and aesthetic judgments--are, like metaphysical claims, literally meaningless and therefore non-cognitive; that is, not able to be either true or false. | | | The latter denotes mainly philosophy that has taken place on continental Europe after (but not including) Kant. | | | Wittgenstein, in the Tractatus, remarks that values cannot be a part of the world, and if they are anything at all they must be beyond or outside the world somehow, and that hence language, which describes the world, can say nothing about them. |

| | Philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Medieval philosophy was concerned primarily with argument from authority, and the analysis of ancient texts using Aristotelian logic. | | | Philosophy is thus not a unified whole but a set of unrelated problems. | | | The Penguin Encyclopedia says that philosophy differs from science in that philosophy's questions cannot be answered empirically, and from religion in that philosophy allows no place for faith or revelation. |

| | ANALYTIC PHILOSOPHY AND TRANSFORMATIVE PHILOSOPHY |
| | It was pointed out by Edmund Gettier in 1962 that there was a flaw in the traditional definition of knowledge as justified true belief—the definition first put forward by Plato. | | | That was of course not all you were supposed to do: you also had to take part in current debates in the journals. | | | For they acknowledge that historians who confine themselves to ascertaining which events actually occurred do offer knowledge rather than mere opinion. |

| | Analytic Philosophy |
| | Thinking back to our look at the philosophy of religion, we can see that an obvious criticism of this element of logical positivism would be to point to propositions that seem to be neither wholly analytic nor synthetic, such as "God is just" or "the universe is purposive". | | | The former was used by the logical positivists to support their ideas but most critics agree that this was based on a misunderstanding of the work and in particular only by ignoring its metaphysical aspects, which can roughly be termed logical atomism. | | | He does not say that they are worthless, but only that by asking them we are trying to put into words things that cannot be said. |

| | LRB Jerry Fodor : Water's water everywhere |
| | Philosophy is to recognise not just the actual world that we live in but also a plethora of 'possible worlds'. | | | Note further that this necessary truth is available a priori; at no point in the course of its discovery did philosophy stir from the armchair in which we found it. | | | Not so much with Hughes's book (though I'll presently have bones to pick with some of his main theses) as with the kind of philosophy that has recently taken shelter under Kripke's wing. |

| | Analytic vs. Non-Analytic Philosophy |
| | "Philosophy" means love of wisdom, and wisdom is an understanding of life and the world, not just an understanding of logic and language. | | | Street Philosophy has an aversion for definitions; there are no definitions in Thoreau's Walden or Nietzsche's Zarathustra. | | | Street philosophers are concerned with life itself, and believe that people live by ideas and beliefs, not proofs and definitions. |

| | Come to think of it, this way of seeing things might also explain why certain questions are central to one or the other tradition, insofar as people will see themselves as responding to the concerns raised by their predecessors. | | | According to relativists about truth, two people can disagree, and both be correct, since the truth of certain kinds of claims is relative to an evaluator. | | | I think that you would find a kind of split as the 20th Century progressed up into perhaps the 1970s, at which point you'd see more people in each of the main branches starting to read, cite and respond to authors in the other branch. |

| | And the absolute best history of philosophy ties all this together and presents it in a manner so striking and harmonious that it just must be true. | | | But, as some of you might have noticed in Philosophy 1504, the theory of argument asks that you grant certain crucial statements beforehand, without argument. | | | It reveals connections between what they said, and connections between the philosophers themselves. |

| | Analytic Philosophy |
| | Analytic philosophy emerged from, or at least, in the same period as, the revolution in logic which took place around the end of the 19th Century. | | | Dummet gives a completely different story, not claiming to be exhaustive, in his book on origins of analytic philosophy. | | | The opportunities presented by developments in our undertanding of logic contributed to logical atomism and were consistent with logical positivism, but have been largely cast aside by the wave of philosophy which has remained firmly embedded in natural languages, largely untouched by formal technique, and oblivious to fatal defects in its methods. |

| | OUP: Analytic Philosophy and History of Philosophy: Sorell |
| | All of these aspects of the subject sit uneasily with the use of historical texts for philosophical illumination. | | | This is the kind of history of philosophy that emphasises the status of a philosophical text as one document among others from a faraway intellectual world, and that tries to acquaint us with that world in order to produce understanding of the document. | | | In this book, ten distinguished historians of philosophy, mostly trained in the analytic tradition, explore the tensions between, and the possibilities of reconciling, analytic philosophy and history of philosophy. |

| | The Philosophical Gourmet Report 2004 - 2006 :: Analytic and Continental Philosophy |
| | Indeed, it is fair to say that analytic philosophy is the philosophical movement most continuous with the "grand" tradition in philosophy, the tradition of Aristotle and Descartes and Hume and Kant. | | | Philosophy...lies in the detailed posing of questions, the clarification of meaning, the development and criticism of argument, the working out of ideas and points of view. | | | Almost always the books of scholars are somehow oppressive, oppressed: the "specialist" emerges somewhere--his zeal, his seriousness, his fury, his overestimation of the nook in which he sits and spins, his hunched back; every specialist has his hunched back. |

| | From the Preface: "This book is an introduction to phenomenology, a movement which, in many ways, typifies the course of European philosophy in the twentieth century. | | | The first was initiated by Descartes with his "method of doubt" that led to the questioning of basic assumptions of classical philosophy. | | | From the First Chapter: "It is important to analytical philosophy that it understand its own history, seeing itself in the context of the general history of philosophy during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: especially is this true at a time when it is undergoing profound changes. |

| | History of Analytic Philosophy |
| | The first three topics, philosophy of language, philosophical logic, and metaphysics, are deeply interconnected in early analytic philosophy. | | | In many respects, early philosophy of language had the largest impact on the development of the ideas and style of analytic philosophy (though see the note about philosophy of logic below). | | | In a sense, the philosophy of math and logic is actually more important to analytic philosophy than the philosophy of language. |

| | Philosophical Dictionary: Ambiguity-Anselm |
| | Despite his rejection of a fundamental distinction between appearance and reality and adoption of an atomistic natural philosophy, Anaxagoras was the first philosopher in the Western tradition to draw a substantial distinction between inert and chaotic matter on the one hand and mind as an active principle and source of order on the other hand. | | | Alternatively, a proposition is analytic if it is true merely by virtue of the meaning of its terms or tautologous; otherwise, it is synthetic. | | | This view had a significant influence on the philosophy of Plato. |
