A Águia E Os Estorninhos: Galileu E A Autonomia Da Ciência, P. R. Mariconda, Hugh Lacey May 2001

A Águia E Os Estorninhos: Galileu E A Autonomia Da Ciência, P. R. Mariconda, Hugh Lacey

Philosophy Faculty Works

The idea that science is "value free" can be traced back to the emergence of the distinction between fact and value in the 17th century. It can be considered to have three components: impartiality, neutrality and autonomy. We show that important parts of these component ideas were developed and defended by Galileo, principally in his letters to Castelli and to Grand Duchess Cristina and in his books The Assayer and Two Chief World Systems. Galileo's argument for autonomy is particularly powerful and, although lacking the generality introduced in later arguments (since his principal concern was to win autonomy for science …

The Persistence Of Romanticism: Essays In Philosophy And Literature, Richard Thomas Eldridge Jan 2001

The Persistence Of Romanticism: Essays In Philosophy And Literature, Richard Thomas Eldridge

Philosophy Faculty Works

Has Romanticism been superseded by realism, modernism, and postmodernism, all of which are often taken to acknowledge reality more fully than Romanticism? What is it that Romantic thinkers and writers do? Why does what they do matter? Is Romanticism a think of the past? "These challenging essays defend Romanticism against its critics. They argue that Romantic thought, interpreted as the ongoing pursuit of freedom in concrete contexts, crossed by frustration and marked by desire, remains a central and exemplary form of both artistic work and philosophical understanding. Marshaling a wide range of texts from literature, philosophy, and criticism, Richard Eldridge …

As Sementes E O Conhecimento Que Elas Incorporam, Hugh Lacey Jan 2000

As Sementes E O Conhecimento Que Elas Incorporam, Hugh Lacey

Philosophy Faculty Works

Freqüentemente recorre-se à ciência para legitimar a prioridade atribuída ao desenvolvimento de sementes transgênicas na pesquisa agronômica, e a proteção privilegiada concedida aos direitos de propriedade intelectual sobre tais sementes. Alega-se que as sementes transgênicas incorporam conhecimento científico, mas não as sementes selecionadas na agricultura tradicional; e que o conhecimento científico sustenta não haver, além da agricultura que faz uso substancial de sementes transgênicas, maneira alternativa nenhuma de alimentar a humanidade. Ambas as alegações são questionadas por meio de um argumento que reconhece na agroecologia uma séria alternativa (pelo menos parcialmente) à predominância da biotecnologia na agricultura, uma alternativa que …

Values And The Conduct Of Science: Principles, Hugh Lacey Jun 1999

Values And The Conduct Of Science: Principles, Hugh Lacey

Philosophy Faculty Works

In this paper I will propose six principles governing the proper role of moral and social values in the conduct of scientific uivestigation. I offer them for your consideration, and hope that together we can sharpen their formulatton, explore their implications and test their acceptability. In making my proposals I draw considerably from my recent books, Valores e Atividade Científica (VAC, Lacey 1988) and Is Science Value Free? Values and Scientific Understanding (SVF, Lacey 1999a) The detailed argument, and elaboration of the technical notions that I use are to be found in them (and summarized in Lacey 1999c). The sketch …

Interview With Richard Eldridge, W. Desmond, Richard Thomas Eldridge Dec 1998

Interview With Richard Eldridge, W. Desmond, Richard Thomas Eldridge

Philosophy Faculty Works

Desmond: Talking to Richard on the way over, I proposed that our discussion would focus on the theme of autonomy and embeddedness or relatedness. This is a recurrent concern in all of Richard’s writing. I thought it would be a good idea to look at this issue of autonomy and embeddedness in a variety of different forms, in relation to different philosophers that have influenced the work of Richard, but also in a variety of different domains such as ethics, aesthetics or literature, romanticism. In the latter the question of the interplay between art and religion also comes up as …

Beyond Representation: Philosophy And Poetic Imagination, Richard Thomas Eldridge Jan 1996

Beyond Representation: Philosophy And Poetic Imagination, Richard Thomas Eldridge

Philosophy Faculty Works

The essays in this volume explore the ways in which traditional philosophical problems about self-knowledge, self-identity, and value have migrated into literature since the Romantic and Idealist periods. How do so-called literary works take up these problems in a new way? What conception of the subject is involved in this literary practice? How are the lines of demarcation between philosophy and literature problematized. The contributors examine these issues with reference both to Romantic and Idealist writers and to some of their subsequent literary and philosophical inheritors and revisers. Their essays offer a philosophical understanding of the roots and nature of …
