Logical Positivism - The Vienna Circle

source: Philosophical Overdose    2016年12月2日
In this BBC episode of In Our Time, Melvyn Bragg discusses Logical Positivism, an early 20th century philosophical movement. It began in Vienna after the First World War with the Vienna Circle, a group of philosophically-trained scientists and scientifically-trained philosophers who sought to rethink philosophy in connection with the nature and foundations of knowledge. Their central thesis was verificationism, a criterion of meaning which maintained that only claims which can be verified through empirical observation can have any meaning and therefore be true or false. This was a form of empiricism, which drew inspiration from the work of David Hume and the early Wittgenstein. According to them, anything which cannot be traced back to sensory experience was without cognitive sense and so was not even false, including all religious talk about God, ethical talk about value, aesthetic talk about beauty, and metaphysical talk about the ultimate nature of reality. Logic and mathematical truths were understood by them as mere tautologies, true by definition and not the world. When the Nazis took power, the group fled to England and America where their ideas went on to have a huge impact. Melvyn is joined in this program by Barry Smith, Professor of Philosophy at the University of London; Nancy Cartwright, Professor of Philosophy at the London School of Economics; and Thomas Uebel, Professor of Philosophy at Manchester University.

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889—1951) The Limits of Language

Wittgenstein: "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world"
Ludwig Wittgenstein is one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century, and regarded by some as the most important since Immanuel Kant. His early work was influenced by that of Arthur Schopenhauer and, especially, by his teacher Bertrand Russell and by Gottlob Frege, who became something of a friend. This work culminated in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, the only philosophy book that Wittgenstein published during his lifetime. It claimed to solve all the major problems of philosophy and was held in especially high esteem by the anti-metaphysical logical positivists. The Tractatus is based on the idea that philosophical problems arise from misunderstandings of the logic of language, and it tries to show what this logic is. Wittgenstein's later work, principally his Philosophical Investigations, shares this concern with logic and language, but takes a different, less technical, approach to philosophical problems. This book helped to inspire so-called ordinary language philosophy. This style of doing philosophy has fallen somewhat out of favor, but Wittgenstein's work on rule-following and private language is still considered important, and his later philosophy is influential in a growing number of fields outside philosophy.

In 1931 Wittgenstein described his task thus: Language sets everyone the same traps; it is an immense network of easily accessible wrong turnings. And so we watch one man after another walking down the same paths and we know in advance where he will branch off, where walk straight on without noticing the side turning, etc. etc. What I have to do then is erect signposts at all the junctions where there are wrong turnings so as to help people past the danger points.

Wittgenstein & Metaphilosophy (Minerva)

Ludwig Wittgenstein is a philosopher's philosopher: he had much to say about how philosophy should be done. Peter Hacker explains Wittgenstein's metaphilosophical views, talks about the mind, and expresses his pessimism about contemporary philosophy. Peter Hacker is a Wittgenstein expert, and an Emeritus Research Fellow at St. John's College, Oxford.

Ludwig Wittgenstein - The Limits of Thought

source: Philosophical Overdose    2016年2月13日
This is an introduction to the life, work, and legacy of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. There is little doubt that he was a towering figure of the twentieth century; on his return to Cambridge in 1929 Maynard Keynes wrote, “Well, God has arrived. I met him on the 5:15 train”. Wittgenstein is credited with being the greatest philosopher of the modern age, a thinker who left not one but two philosophies for his successors to argue over: The early Wittgenstein said, “the limits of my language mean the limits of my world”; the later Wittgenstein replied, “If God looked into our minds he would not have been able to see there whom we were speaking of”. Language was at the heart of both. Wittgenstein stated that his purpose was to finally free humanity from the pointless and neurotic philosophical questing that plagues us all. As he put it, “To show the fly the way out of the fly bottle”. He was something of a philosopher's philosopher. But how did he think language could solve all the problems of philosophy? How have his ideas influenced contemporary culture? And could his thought ever achieve the release for us that he hoped it would? Melvyn Bragg discusses Wittgenstein and these questions with Ray Monk (Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southampton), Barry Smith (Lecturer in Philosophy at Birkbeck, University of London), and Marie McGinn (Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of York).

An Uncertain Skeptic: Richard Rorty & Philosophy as Epistemology

source: Philosophical Overdose    2015年5月18日
In 1979 Richard Rorty published his magnum opus Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature. The headlining ambition of the book is to complete a turn Rorty discerned in current analytic philosophy against a constellation of ideas informed by the assumption that Mind serves as the foundation of epistemic authority. By setting this in a broader ‘therapeutic’ context inspired by Heidegger and Wittgenstein, the aim was to ‘liberate’ philosophers from their epistemologically fixated inquiries and, in the spirit of the book’s other hero, Dewey, provide them with a new intellectual task: helping to spread the ‘precious values’ of the Enlightenment by playing their part in “continuing the conversation of the West”. Its attempt to transform the philosopher from epistemologist to hermeneuticist makes philosophy more existential than programmatic in character. Nevertheless, its synthesis of the pragmatic and behaviorist elements in Sellars, Quine and Davidson with the historicism of Kuhn presents a challenge to those who wish to retain a ‘realist’ or ‘transcendental’ standpoint for inquiry, and thus aim to draw a methodological line in the sand between philosophy and science, or between philosophy and other ‘kinds of writing’.
This talk was given by Michael Williams (Johns Hopkins) at a conference on Richard Rorty and his Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature.

Bertrand Russell & Wittgenstein on Belief & Relations (by Fraser MacBride)

source: Philosophical Overdose    2015年5月16日
After a brief discussion of the nature of philosophy and the origins of analytic philosophy, Fraser MacBride discusses Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein on the nature of relations and the structure of judgment or belief, how our thought relates to external objects in the world. Among the topics discussed include metaphilosophy and the history of analytic philosophy, F. H. Bradley's infamous regress argument against the reality of relations, Russell's correspondence theory of truth and different accounts of judgment including his famous multiple relation theory.
"The question of relations is one of the most important that arise in philosophy, as most other issues turn on it: monism and pluralism; the question of whether anything is wholly true except the whole of truth, or wholly real except the whole of reality; idealism and realism, in some of their forms; perhaps the very existence of philosophy as a subject distinct from science and possessing a method of its own.” Bertrand Russell

The German Intellectual Tradition: Phase 2

# Click the up-left corner for the playlist of the 10 videos

source: Goethe-Institut Max Mueller Bhavan    上次更新：2015年10月14日
A series of lectures by eminent scholars; coordinated by Professor Sobhanlal Datta Gupta, former S. N. Banerjee Professor of Political Science, Calcutta University. As we know, the German intellectual
tradition is of crucial importance for understanding of social sciences. Many important clues to the understanding of new perspectives like the debate on modernity and Enlightenment, postmodernism, post-colonialism, identity and self, etc. can be traced to the contributions of the German tradition. Considering the importance of this theme, Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Kolkata is going to launch a programme of lectures on the following thinkers, namely, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Max Weber,
Nietzsche, Freud, Husserl, Heidegger, Horkheimer, Adorno, Marcuse, Lukács, Popper, Gadamer, Wittgenstein, Arendt, Benjamin and Habermas. The first phase of the Programme (September, November, 2013; January, March, 2014) will cover four lectures on Kant, Hegel, Marx and Max
Weber. Each thinker would be discussed in two sessions, the duration being of two hours each. The sessions will be addressed by eminent resource persons, followed by interaction with the participants.
