Complementarity And The Scientific Method: A Criticism, Patrick A. Heelan

Research Resources

In this chapter "Conplementarity and the Scientific Method" of his Quantum Mechanics and Objectivity, Heelan argues that the philosophy of complementarity, although successful in providing physicists with a common language with which to describe quantum phenomena, also contains a theory about scientific method and about human knowing which is open to criticism. Heelan here criticises the following points arising out of the philosophy of complementarity: psycho-physical parallelism; the view that quantum mechanical properties are to be defined classically; and the perturbation theory of measurement. In the course of the criticism, he elaborates the distinction between two types of concepts …

Reality In Heisenberg's Philosophy - Chapter Eight Of Heelan's Quantum Mechanics And Objectivity, Patrick Heelan

Research Resources

This chapter contains a study of Heisenberg's views of the ontological content of quantum mechanics from I925 until the present day. During the quantum revolution of I925, he began by accepting a Berkeley-type empiricism in which the reality of a quantum mechanical system was reduced to that of a set of observation events, which were, however, acausally connected and in consequence did not constitute a stable phenomenal object of experimental knowledge. After 1955, he professed a modified form of Kantian philosophy whose starting point was the existence of universal and necessary scientific laws. Those universal and necessary scientific laws from …

A Century Of Platonic Scholarship In France: From Cousin To Robin, Ernst Morris Manasse

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Traces the influence of Neoplatonism in scholarship and philosophy in France from the 1830's to the 1930's.

The Universal In Physics I.1, Joseph Owens C.Ss.R.

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

The opening paragraph of the Physics sketches succinctly Aristotle's general notion of scientific knowledge. First, in any scientific discipline, to know a thing is to know its principles or elements. Secondly, the natural path of human knowledge is from things that are more knowable for men to things that are more knowable in themselves, that is, from concretions to the distinct cognition of principles and elements. These two norms are regarded as applying to all scientific procedure. Here they are outlined briefly as an introduction to the Aristotelian philosophy of nature. But Aristotle goes on to apparently recommend moving from …

The Aristotelian Doctrine Of Qualitative Change In Physics Vii.3, Gerard Verbeke

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Aristotle wonders whether it is possible to translate into terms of qualitative change the most important activities of man, such as technical activities, culture of the body, moral conduct, and scientific knowledge. The confrontation between the notion of qualitative change on the one hand and certain fundamental forms of human activity on the other makes it possible to define even more precisely the notion of alloiosis and to lead us to a more thorough understanding of the distinctive nature of properly human activities.

Some Observations Concerning Plato's Lysis, Donald Norman Levin

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Discussion of the authenticity and relative dating of the dialogue followed by examination of the several definitions of "philos". The Good is the ultimate goal that remains in view to Plato, no matter what else must be abandoned as dialectically unacceptable.

Notes On Aristotle De Anima 3.5, John M. Rist

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Of all the Aristotelian doctrines perhaps the most difficult is that concerning the Active and Passive Intellects which we find in the short fifth chapter of the third book of the De Anima. Interpretations of this chapter have been almost as numerous as interpreters, and it would be naive to expect at this stage to be definitive. Nevertheless it seems that progress has been delayed in many cases by a too casual approach to what Aristotle says in the chapter itself - and this at least admits of some improvement.

The World Of The Greek Philosophers: A Reappraisal, Robert S. Brumbaugh

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

In this account of an encounter with the surviving traces of the world of the Greek philosophers* and ray own discovery of their relevance to the ideas that originated and were tested there, I have three purposes in mind. The first Is to start a discussion of ancient thought in its context; such topics as "the world" are somewhat out of style, and yet our more specialized studies presuppose such a world and can go wrong if the general presuppositions are mistaken. % second purpose is to persuade our Society that it Is necessary for us to keep track of …

Aristotle On Kinesis, Arthur L. Peck

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

This paper is zetetic rather than expository: Can we define the field in which Aristotle believed kinesis to operate? My interest in this question stems from my work with his biological writings. The distinction between potentiality and actuality was for him an indispensable instrument for philosophy. The application of this principle reaches its apex when he speaks of active and passive nous.

Socrates And Thrasymachus, Francis Sparshott

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

What is striking in the Republic is less the doctrines that Plato propounds than the relationship that he develops between ideas. We show that a surprising number of these relationships are already set forth, or alluded to, in the encounter between Socrates and Thrasymachus.

The Unity Of The Laches, Michael J. O'Brien

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

On the level of ideas the dialogue remains incomplete. A satisfactory conception of courage is never formulated. On the level of personalities, however, there is a solution, in the person of Socrates. He has fought bravely at Delium and has matched or surpassed Laches in steadfastness. But he can also examine courage rationally and realizes the importance of knowledge to virtue, like Nicias. Neither Laches nor Nicias is fully worthy as a person of courage, as Socrates is. But there is a harmony between the incomplete definitions they offer and their own characters. The unity of the Laches is both …

Hiccups And Other Interruptions In The Symposium, George Kimball Plochmann

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

The hoped-for result of my study will be to discover that the genius of philosophy and that of literature do not change places, yet are somehow the same; and if this conclusion involves getting rid of certain textbook conceptions of either philosophy or literature, this too will be all to the good.

Aristotle's Treatment Of Phantasia, D. A. Rees

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Review of the relevant passages in Aristotle, and (briefly) the scholarship on Aristotle's concept of phantasia. Aristotle's treatment of phantasia is contrasted with Plato's discussions of eikasia, mimesis, the receptacle in the Timaeus, the Sophist as maker of phantasmata, the treatment of memory in the Philebus, and eidola in several places. De Anima 3.3 concerns mental images; further discussion involves passages in EN, MA, and the Parva Naturalia.

Body And Soul In The Philosophy Of Plotinus, Audrey N. M. Rich

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

How did Plotinus conceive of the relation existing between the human soul and the human body? Plato did not give the impression of being vitally concerned about this question. Although Plotinus professes to be a follower of Plato, he is much more profoundly influenced in this instance by Aristotle. Besides owing much to Aristotle, Plotinus' account of sensation, pleasure and pain, and the emotions in general clearly shows the influence of the medical theories of Galen.

Plotinus' belief in reincarnation shows the more Platonic strain in his approach to the body-soul problem.

Xenophanes And The Axiomatization Of The God-Concept, Harald A.T. Reiche

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Inasmuch as Xenophanes rests his axiomatization of the god-concept on the logic of "likeness" (prepein), implicit in the Greek correlation of arete and time, he rests his case for an idealistic, nomomorphic revision of theology and human society on a correspondence-theory of truth, whose referent is periodically verifiable as superlatively powerful and universally binding.

Cosmic Periods In The Philosophy Of Empedocles, Edwin L. Minar Jr.

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

The highest human types or "lives", which one may go through before attaining the divinity and immortality of fr. 147, are those of benefactors of their fellow man: "and finally they come as seers and bards and physicians and leaders among men on earth.1133 The humanistic motive that led Empedocles to see as the ruling forces in nature Love and Strife, which are most familiar to us as forces in the life of man, is also the leading spirit of his physical philosophy.
