Jan Wöpking's Raum und Wissen: Elemente einer Theorie epistemischen PDF

By Jan Wöpking

Die Monographie untersucht den Gebrauch von Diagrammen zu Erkenntniszwecken. Anhand der Schlüsselszenen von euklidischer Geometrie und spätmittelalterlicher Physik zeigt die Studie, wie Diagramme Räumlichkeit und Regeln, Logik und epistemischen Überschuss, Doppeldeutigkeit und Präzision so verbinden, dass neue Einsichten gewonnen und unbekannte Phänomene erschlossen werden. Zunächst wird erarbeitet, warum konstruierte Diagramme im Allgemeinen mehr Informationen zeigen als zu ihrer Konstruktion aufgewendet werden, mithin einen Erkenntnisüberschuss produzieren. Dieser Überschuss wird gegen eine mächtige bildkritische culture als zentrales und legitimes Prinzip der Figurenbeweise der euklidischen Geometrie identifiziert. Schließlich rekonstruiert die Arbeit, wie Nicole Oresme in seiner bahnbrechenden Konfigurationsdoktrin im 14. Jahrhundert die Diagramme Euklids als epistemisches device einsetzt, um eine universale Quantifizierung aller Naturvorgänge vorzunehmen.

Brain, mind, and loose Will offers a strong new case for substance dualism (the concept that people encompass components physique and soul) and for libertarian loose will (that people have a few freedom to choose from choices, independently of the explanations which impact them). Richard Swinburne starts off by way of analysing the standards for one occasion or substance being an analogous occasion or substance as one other one, and the standards for an occasion being metaphysicallypossible; after which is going directly to examine the factors for ideals approximately those concerns being rational or justified.

Suggestion auditing is predicated on an cutting edge premise for philosophers: after they tackle a daily existence notion at the order of information, fact, justice, equity, attractiveness, or the like and purport to be facing what it includes, then they need to honor the prevailing meanings of those phrases. And insofar because the winning that means is being contravened, they have to clarify how and justify why this is often being performed.
