THIS FIRST NUMBER of the ninth volume of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY begins a new year with-somewhat to her surprise- a somewhat new editor. During a summer leave or a sabbatical absence of Professor Cornish, it is true, she has sometimes stepped in, has chewed pencils, checked copy, struggled with an engulfing correspondence, written forewords and afterwords, read proof, worried with subscriptions and copyright and the multifarious details involved in any publication, and all the while has rejoiced rather too audibly in the prospect of a speedy release. She still tends to think of herself as …

INDULGING natural preference and at the same time bowing to a tradition still green, the editors present their fifth Summer Literary Number. Their six major selections draw from at least three diverse literary streams: Nineteenth-century English (early and late), nineteenth-century American, and the contemporary American novel. More specifically, two articles deal with important figures in English letters: William Wordsworth, the Romantic poet who grew to estrangement from and disillusion with his native country, and Joseph Conrad, English by adoption and recognized as a superior craftsman in his second tongue by virtue of a distinguished list …

Toward An Understanding Of The Later Philosophy Of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Stephen Amdur

Philosophy ETDs

Perhaps the biggest obstacle to understanding the later philosophy (1930-1951) of Ludwig Wittgenstein is that, unlike his earlier work, the later work has no explicit organization. I have attempted to show a way around this obstacle by showing the legitimacy of imposing upon the later work the following order:

First, I have taken his later work to stand opposed to the position of "traditional epistemology." I have attempted to show how from traditional epistemology the "empiricist theory of meaning" stems, and how from that theory of meaning stem certain familiar problems of academic philosophy.

Second, I have attempted to show …

Man, The World, And Art, Richard Arthur Guidotti

Philosophy ETDs

Accusations of failure to face social responsibility may be leveled against two groups of intellectuals. One group is the philosophers; the other the artists. Both are creators. To both is entrusted to a large extent the formation of society and the construction of media through which all men are enabled to express their hopes and desires.

PHILOSOPHY, cinematic literature, literature and history, history and politics, and final cosmography – these compose the menu we spread before you on this spring table. We consider it attractive and nutritious; we hope our readers enjoy the various courses as much as we enjoyed their selection and preparation. One can argue the precision of the categories. Certainly philosophy is or ought to be concerned with the nature of good. Almost as certainly, literary critics can be concerned with the form, fabric, and intent of movies and television productions which, one supposes, begin somewhere with written …

Horizon, Objectivity And Reality In The Physical Sciences, Patrick A. Heelan

Research Resources

An exploration of the utility of a phenomenological style of philosophizing about nature called the analysis of horizons. The name refers to a banner of philosophical reflection practiced by many philosophers mostly of European origin who have been influenced by the Husserlian tradition, like Heidegger, de Waelhens, Gurwitsch, Merleau-Ponty, Luijpen, to mention but a few. To philosophize about science in a phenomenological vein, one must begin with a phenomenological description of the form of life of scientific research, because it is only within a form of life, that is, within a way of experiencing objects, that objects present themselves as …

Is There A Well Defined Scientific Method?, Ernan Mcmullin

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Does science follow some sort of standard procedure, something that can be specified and communicated? Three centuries ago, Francis Bacon prophesied confidently that such a procedure could be devised so that the whole business of science could be done "as though by machinery." In the years between, scientific research has grown from an obscure and unrecognized undertaking of a handful of virtuosos to a massive and concerted endeavor on the part of hundreds of thousands of persons . What has made such a fantastic expansion possible in such a short time? Is it that people have been taught the steps …

Is There A Well Defined Scientific Method?, Marquerite Foster

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The question "Is There A Well Defined Scientific Method?" can not be answered without taking into account the varying aims of scientific inquiry as conceived historically as well as within the framework of various sciences. The term "method" is also subject to ambiguity. The answer would seem to be negative, if we mean that there is a fixed set of well-established rules which if followed will lead to fruitful scientific results. It is positive, if we mean that science has developed fairly reliable patterns and criteria for acceptable explanatory laws and theories, experimental design, and observational confirmation, that are part …

Is There A Well Defined Scientific Method?, William R. Charlesworth

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The question "Is there a well defined scientific method?" can be answered in three ways: by referring to existing discourse on the nature of method; by pointing to concrete examples in which the method is applied in real life situations; and by creating a taxonomy of the behavioral and psychological operations that constitute the scientific process. The last way was proposed as the most fruitful of the three. Two major classes of operations and their subclasses were discussed, along with operations of thought and behavior that are antithetical to scientific method. The importance of the psychologist's contribution to answering philosophical …

Is There A Well Defined Scientific Method?, Russell K. Hobbie

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The traditional view of the scientific method is on oversimplification that ignores the vagaries of the creative process. Several examples that indicate the method is not infallible ore explored. The reasons why the misconception is so widespread ore discussed.

Wittgenstein's Concept Of Truth In The Philosophical Investigations, Robert B. Labbe

Philosophy ETDs

Either Wittgenstein did not care to study the “problems of truth and falsehood” or he did not return to these problems in his later philosophy. Whatever may have been the reason, an examination of his later writings beginning with the discussions contained in The Blue and Brown books reveals that Wittgenstein did not investigate the problems of truth and falsehood systematically. There is no where stated a theory of truth, but only scattered remarks as to “truth” might be considered. The lack of anything beyond the few remarks in the Philosophical Investigations and the Remarks on the Foundations of mathematics, …

CROWDING the top of anybody's list of vital questions now facing the United States are automation, civil rights, the draft, the Great Society, taxes, and the war in Vietnam. It is beyond the charter of this journal to offer discussions of every major issue in every issue. Since most manuscripts reaching us are unsolicited, choices are limited somewhat by chance. And there are still contributors who have the mistaken notion that this is primarily a literary magazine, a historical journal, or a scholarly review requiring elaborate footnotes.
