Philosophy 1140 Empiricism. Quiz 3. 02.07.00 Which of the following properties of a liter of water is a relational property? - The property of having a mass of 1000 grams. - The property of taking up 1000 cubic centimeters of space. The property of being able to dissolve sugar. - The property of turning into a solid at or below degrees centigrade. [A relational property is a property something has in virtue of both some feature it sas AS WELL AS some feature of something else. Mass, size, and freezing point don't depend on anything else being the way it is they depend only on the water's properties. But ability to dissolve sugar depends on sugar being the way it is. If sugar were different, water might not be able to dissolve it.] Locke claims that what we need in order to answer questions of identities is - A tertium quid A principium individuationis - A non sequitur - A res cogitans [This is the phrase he uses.] Locke gives the same treatment to the identity of finite spirits and particles of matter. The decisive factor in their identity is: - Their qualities.

British Empiricism "British Empiricism" refers to the 18th century philosophical movement in Great Britain which maintained that all knowledge comes from experience. Continental Rationalists maintained that knowledge comes from foundational concepts known intuitively through reason, such as innate ideas. Other concepts are then deductively drawn from these. British Empiricists staunchly rejected the theory of innate ideas and argued that knowledge is based on both sense experience and internal mental experiences, such as emotions and self-reflection. 18th century British Empiricists took their cue from Francis Bacon who, in the very first aphorism of his New Organon, hails the primacy of experience, particularly the observation of nature: Humans, who are the servants and interpreters of nature, can act and understand no further than they have observed in either the operation or the contemplation of the method and order of nature. Although British Empiricists disavowed innate ideas, in favor of ideas from experience, it is important to note that the Empiricists did not reject the notion of instinct or innateness in general. Indeed, we have inborn propensities which regulate our bodily functions, produce emotions, and even direct our thinking. What Empiricists deny, though, is that we are born with detailed, picture-like, concepts of God, causality, and even mathematics. Like Bacon, British Empiricists also moved away from deductive proofs and used an inductive method of arguing which was more conducive to the data of experience. In spite of their advocacy of inductive argumentation, though, British Empiricists still made wide use of deductive arguments. Commenting on the use of induction in the history of philosophy, 19th century Scottish philosopher James McCosh argues that induction is more representative of later Scottish philosophy than it is of earlier British Empiricism, specifically that of Locke:

Philosophy Pages F A Q Dictionary ... Locke John Locke Life and Works Empiricism Qualities Liberty ... Internet Sources Although he completed a philosophical education at Oxford, John Locke declined the offer of a permanent academic position in order to avoid committing himself to a religious order. Having also studied medicine, he served for many years as private physician and secretary to Anthony Ashley Cooper, the first Earl of Shaftesbury and one of the Lord Proprietors of the Carolina Colonies. Locke's involvement with this controversial political figure led to a period of self-imposed exile in Holland during the 1680s, but after the Glorious Revolution of 1688 he held several minor governmental offices. A friend of Isaac Newton and Robert Boyle , Locke was also an early member of the Royal Society. He studied and wrote on philosophical, scientific, and political matters throughout his life, in a voluminous correspondence and ample journals , but the public works for which he is best known were published in a single, sudden burst. The fundamental principles of Locke's philosophy are presented in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690), the culmination of twenty years of reflection on the origins of human knowledge. According to Locke, what we know is always properly understood as

12. Continental Rationalism [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] 17th century philosophical movement. Rival to British empiricism.Category Society philosophy Internet Encyclopedia of philosophy...... Contemporary historians of philosophy challenge this traditional distinctionbetween rationalism and empiricism. Louis Loeb, for http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/r/rat-cont.htm

Continental Rationalism The term "Continental Rationalism" traditionally refers to a 17th century philosophical movement begun by Descartes . After Descartes, several dozen scientists and philosophers continued his teachings throughout continental Europe and, accordingly were titled "Cartesians." Some Cartesians strayed little from Descartes' scientific and metaphysical theories. Others incorporated his theories into Calvinistic theology. But a handful of philosopher s influenced by Descartes were more original in developing their own views and these people are included under the more general title "rationalists." the principle rationalists include Benedict Spinoza , Nicholas Malebranche , Gottfried Willhelm Leibniz, and Christian Wolff. Continental Rationalism is usually understood in relation to its rival 17th century movement, British Empiricism , founded by John Locke. The radical division between these two schools was first articulated by Thomas Reid in his Inquiry Concerning the Human Mind Contemporary historians of philosophy challenge this traditional distinction between rationalism and empiricism. Louis Loeb, for example, argues for an alternative classification of 17th and 18th century philosophers which is more representative of t he actual content of their metaphysical and epistemological positions. In spite of Loeb's suggestions, the traditional division between rationalism and empiricism offered by Reid has at least some foundation, and is convenient for understanding the evolution of philosophical theories during the modern period of philosophy.

13. A Note On "Empiricism And The Philosophy Of Mind" A Note on empiricism and the philosophy of Mind . by ROBERT H. GRIMMDUKE UNIVERSITY. Published in Philosophical Studies 10 (1959) 4952. http://www.ditext.com/grimm/grimm.html

A Note on "Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind" by ROBERT H. GRIMM DUKE UNIVERSITY Published in Philosophical Studies In "Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind," Wilfrid Sellars launches "a general critique of the entire framework of givenness," a broad attack on what he calls the "Myth of the Given" (p. 254). In so doing, he questions the notion that empirical knowledge has its foundation in knowledge of a privileged stratum of particular facts, explicitly pointing out that "if observation reports are construed as actions, if their correctness is interpreted as the correctness of an action, and if the authority of an observation report is construed as the fact that making it is 'following a rule' in the proper sense of this phrase, then we are face to face with givenness in its most straightforward form" (p. 296). For, he says, on these stipulations "one is committed to a stratum of authoritative non-verbal episodes ('awareness') the authority of which accrues to a super-structure of verbal actions, provided that the expressions occurring in these actions are properly used" (p. 296), What is his alternative? He carefully rejects the notion that a token, or utterance, of an expression, "This is green" for instance, "expresses observational knowledge" if and only if the circumstances are of a certain kind, i.e. the utterance "is a manifestation of a tendency to produce overt or covert tokens of "This is green' given a certain set if and only if a green object is being looked at in standard conditions" (p. 297). This won't do, be says, because "it is the knowledge or belief that the circumstances are of a certain kind, and not the mere fact that they are of this kind, which contributes to bringing about the action" of an observation report (p. 296).

18. Dictionary Of Philosophy Of Mind - Empiricism empiricism is very much like phenomenalism. However, empiricism is a termmore commonly used in philosophy of science than philosophy of mind. http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~philos/MindDict/empiricism.html

empiricism In its strong form, the thesis that there is no reality behind appearances. Thus, it is the job of science to catalog the formal relations which hold between appearances without claims of describing reality. See phenomenalism A weaker form of empiricism admits of the existence of a reality which is, however, trans-empirical. The transcendent nature of reality determines that we can have no knowledge of it and thus must simply catalog the formal relations between appearances. Empiricism is very much like phenomenalism . However, empiricism is a term more commonly used in philosophy of science than philosophy of mind . In either case, these positions are most commonly contrasted with realism Chris Eliasmith References

Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind Wilfrid Sellars Foreword Author Richard Rorty Study Guide by Robert B. Brandom The most important work by one of America's greatest twentieth-century philosophers, Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind is both the epitome of Wilfrid Sellars' entire philosophical system and a key document in the history of philosophy. First published in essay form in 1956, it helped bring about a sea change in analytic philosophy. It broke the link, which had bound Russell and Ayer to Locke and Humethe doctrine of "knowledge by acquaintance." Sellars' attack on the Myth of the Given in Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind was a decisive move in turning analytic philosophy away from the foundationalist motives of the logical empiricists and raised doubts about the very idea of "epistemology."
