The Philosophy of Keith Lehrer

Essays on Knowledge, Consciousness, and Freedom

Logic, Mathematics, and Science

The Heuristic View

The Social Fabric of Understanding

This open access book offers new insights into issues raised in philosophy of mathematics and in philosophy of science by Imre Lakatos. Lakatos was one of the most significant philosophers of the 20th Century, and his ideas remain important and relevant today. November 2022 saw the centenary of Lakatos’s birth, and the event was marked by an international conference held at the LSE – where Lakatos made his career after he had emigrated from Hungary to England. This volume consists of a selection of papers presented at the conference along with two additional contributions to debates about Lakatos’s continuing influence and importance.

Perspectives on Human Multidimensionality

Beyond Nature and Nurture

Explanatory Virtues in Biology

Integrative Promise

This book proposes a different perspective on actual queries within the field of ontology. Focusing on non-standard objects, it offers original answers to classic problems in metaphysics, such as individuation, reference, existence and non-existence. The chosen ontological fields are, for this purpose, ontologies that essentially involve human social practices such as intentional objects, fictions, mental illnesses or social entities. Even though the papers can be read independently, readers will discover a number of original intersections that provide fresh points of entry to contemporary metaphysical issues. By dealing with entities that are not so frequently addressed in related works, the book also contributes to broaden their perspective on ontology. Both scholars and students will find it particularly useful to have a survey about non-standard abstract entities that can provide new topics for their research.

Social, Fictional, Modal, and Non-Existent

Special Objects

This book provides a general framework for understanding nature to revive the philosophical study of nature as a complementary research project to the empirical exploration of nature. It demonstrates that the a priori research of nature is a viable science, by articulating its principles and demonstrating their effectiveness in explaining the most fundamental features of nature – time, space, and its laws. The original contribution of this book is twofold. Firstly, it introduces a unique method for undertaking conceptual analysis. The effectiveness of these tools is demonstrated in exploring the most general and fundamental features of nature. Secondly, it introduces a novel conception of nature – "internal relationalism" – that offers an insight into the structure of nature and its most fundamental features. Thus, it offers answers to some of the most fundamental questions that have plagued philosophers and scientists for millennia, concluding with the question “Why is there something rather than nothing?” This book is of interest to metaphysics, philosophers of science who focus on the foundations of physics, and philosophically-minded physicists, especially those whose research interests include the nature of time and space.

An Investigation into Time, Space, and the Laws of Nature

Conceptual Principles of Natural Philosophy

This book is a collection of essays that offer original logical and philosophical investigations into the century-long endeavor to understand paradoxes. It bridges the gap between the two most prominent traditions in the analysis of paradoxes: the truth-theoretic and proof-theoretic approaches. The truth-theoretic tradition stems from Alfred Tarski's solution to the semantic paradoxes, while the proof-theoretic tradition dates back to Dag Prawitz's analysis of set-theoretic paradoxes in terms of structural proof theory. Rather than viewing these traditions as competing perspectives, this volume advocates for the idea that a deeper understanding of paradoxes requires insights from both truth-theoretic and proof-theoretic conceptions of language and meaning. Although the collection does not aim to be exhaustive, it seeks to highlight the vast scope of the subject and its deep connections to various fields of inquiry. The essays are organized into four sections: the first focuses on methodology, the second and third examine paradoxes through the conventional lenses of logical investigation—semantics and syntax—, and the fourth presents a selection of paradoxes that extend beyond the interplay between syntax and semantics, exploring other dimensions of human rationality.

Paradoxes Between Truth and Proof

This is the first volume focused on Markus Gabriel’s version of New Realism, which spans the fields of metaphysics/ontology, philosophy of mind, epistemology, philosophy of science, and meta-philosophy. Most of the selected contributions are directly or indirectly concerned with Gabriel’s fields of sense-ontology, his version of a thoroughly realistic pluralism. While some take up criticisms from previous debates surrounding Gabriel’s philosophy and New Realism in general, others advance completely new and innovative challenges for this highly systematic thinker. Overall, the contributions provide both a substantive commentary on Gabriel’s work and a multifaceted, critical assessment of its underlying ideas. The book is not only an essential addition to the debate surrounding New Realism, but also furthers the discussions about naturalism, deflationist ontologies, contextualism and mereological arguments to which Gabriel’s work has contributed in recent years.

Markus Gabriel’s New Realism

According to dispositional realism, or dispositionalism, the entities inhabiting our world possess irreducibly dispositional properties – often called ‘powers’ – by means of which they are sources of change. Dispositionalism has become increasingly popular among metaphysicians in the last three decades as it offers a realist account of causation and provides novel avenues for understanding modality, laws of nature, agency, free will and other key concepts in metaphysics. At the same time, it is receiving growing interest among philosophers of science. This reflects the substantial role scientific findings play in arguments for dispositionalism which, as a metaphysics of science, aims to unveil the very foundations of science.The present collection of essays brings together both strands of interest. It elucidates the ontological profile of dispositionalism by exploring its ontological commitments, and it discusses these from the perspective of the philosophy of science. The essays are written by both proponents of dispositionalism and sceptics so as to initiate an open-minded, constructive dialogue.

Perspectives from Metaphysics and the Philosophy of Science

Dispositionalism

The book has two parts: In the first, after a review of some seminal classical accounts of laws and explanations, a new account is proposed for distinguishing between laws and accidental generalizations (LAG). Among the new consequences of this proposal it is proved that any explanation of a contingent generalization shows that the generalization is not accidental. The second part involves physical theories, their modality, and their explanatory power. In particular, it is shown that (1) Each theory has a theoretical implication structure associated with it, such that there are new physical modal operators on these structures and also special modal entities that are in these structures. A special subset of the physical modals, the nomic modals are associated with the laws of theories. (2) The familiar idea that theories always explain laws by deduction of them has to be seriously modified in light of the fact that there are a host of physical theories (including for example, Newtonian Classical mechanics, Hamiltonian, and Lagrangian theory, and probability theory) that we believe are schematic (they do not have any truth value). Nevertheless, we think that there is a kind of non-deductive explanation and generality that they achieve by subsumtion under a schema.

Laws and Explanations; Theories and Modal Possibilities

This open access book – as the title suggests – explores some of the historical roots and epistemological ramifications of perspectivism. Perspectivism has recently emerged in philosophy of science as an interesting new position in the debate between scientific realism and anti-realism. But there is a lot more to perspectivism than discussions in philosophy of science so far have suggested. Perspectivism is a much broader view that emphasizes how our knowledge (in particular our scientific knowledge of nature) is situated; it is always from a human vantage point (as opposed to some Nagelian "view from nowhere"). This edited collection brings together a diverse team of established and early career scholars across a variety of fields (from the history of philosophy to epistemology and philosophy of science). The resulting nine essays trace some of the seminal ideas of perspectivism back to Kant, Nietzsche, the American Pragmatists, and Putnam, while the second part of the book tackles issues concerning the relation between perspectivism, relativism, and standpoint theories, and the implications of perspectivism for epistemological debates about veritism, epistemic normativity and the foundations of human knowledge.

David J. Chalmers liefert eine verblüffende Analyse unserer technologischen Zukunft. Er argumentiert, dass virtuelle Welten keine Welten zweiter Klasse sind, dass wir in ihnen ein sinnvolles Leben führen können – ja, uns vielleicht schon in einer Simulation befinden! Chalmers nutzt die Technologie der virtuellen Realität, um neue, erhellende Perspektiven auf altbekannte philosophische Fragen zu eröffnen. Woher wissen wir, dass es eine Außenwelt gibt? Gibt es einen Gott? Was ist die Natur der Realität? Was ist die Beziehung zwischen Geist und Körper? Gespickt mit gewitzt veranschaulichenden Illustrationen ist Realität+ ein Grundlagenwerk für die Diskussion über Philosophie, Wissenschaft und Technologie.

Theoretische Philosophie II

Die Philosophie kennt nicht nur Gottesbeweise, sondern auch Versuche, die Existenz Gottes durch geeignete Argumente zu widerlegen. Ist es nicht unwahrscheinlich oder sogar unmöglich, dass Phänomene wie Naturkatastrophen, Krankheiten und schwere Verbrechen mit der Existenz eines Gottes vereinbar sind? Und lässt sich überhaupt widerspruchsfrei von etwas sagen, dass es allmächtig oder allwissend sei? Falls nicht, wäre es bereits begrifflich unmöglich, dass es einen Gott geben kann. Der Band dokumentiert und kommentiert die faszinierendsten klassischen wie aktuellen Gotteswiderlegungen.
