XII-The Twilight of Empiricism

Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society (Hardback), 2004
There is a principle that both generates and destroys empiricism. It is a plausible principle, thus often appealed to. (Bernard Williams and Michael Dummett are notable subscribers.) Its consequences prove it wrong. This is a story of empiricism's rise and fall (a fall Frege mapped out for it). It is historically sketchy.

Image: the Journal of Nursing Scholarship, 1987

Empiricism at Bay?

1974
At the risk of being regarded a ‘square’ and ‘reactionary’ I wish to defend, explicate, reformulate and ‘salvage’ whatever seems valuable to me in the empiricist tradition in the philosophy of science. I am fully aware of the almost hostile vogue of ‘beating-up’ on the empiricists, a fashion that is still in full swing.

1974
Ought one represent the Quine-Kuhn-Hanson-Feyerabend-Lakatos-Polanyi rejection of the logical positivist account of science that dominated the world of English-speaking philosophy in the decades between 1930 and 1960 as a rejection of empiricism itself?
