Modern Views of Medieval Logic Author : Sl Uckelman Publisher : Peeters Release Date : Genre: Uncategoriezed Pages : ISBN 10 : GET BOOK Modern Views of Medieval Logic Book Description : While for a long time the study of medieval logic focused on editorial projects and reconstructions of central medieval doctrines such as the theories of signification, supposition, consequences, and obligations, nowadays the spectrum of analysis has broadened and is increasingly informed by modern logical research, whose perspective is then applied to medieval logic.
Promoting this tendency, logicians and researchers concerned with semantics in the Gesellschaft fur Philosophie des Mittelalters und der Renaissance GPMR founded a working group bringing together medieval logic and modern applied logic. The present volume is a seminal document of these interests and activities. It analyzes theories in medieval logic which are useful for solving questions of recent logic and explains crucial parts of medieval logic, philosophy, and theology by applying techniques of present-day logic.
It includes extensive discussion of the practices that underpinned medieval political theories and which continued to play crucial roles in the eventual development of early-modern political institutions and debates. The author strikes a balance between trying to understand the philosophical cogency of medieval and Renaissance arguments on the one hand, elucidating why historically-suited medieval and Renaissance thinkers thought the ways they did about politics; and why we often think otherwise.
Certainly, some such as the thirteenth-century bishop of Paris Stephen Tempier or the fifteenth-century chancellor of that same univer- sity, Jean Gerson, were suspicious of the attractiveness of astrology to their contemporaries but none denied its theoretical foundations. How- ever, here we should avoid ahistorical applications of such a loaded word.
Nevertheless, rather than a science it was just what medieval intellectuals held it to be, a branch of philosophia naturalis, or natural philosophy. The emphasis of all natural philosophy was indeed the natural world, a concern shared by the sciences, but the approach was always one of logical consideration that was connected to empiricism by only the loosest possible threads.

Hendrix could be found at any given time, or at least be able to understand the tables designed for such a purpose, but astrologers had little interest in mathemat- ics per se and medieval mathematicians focused on their subject as a form of abstract knowledge utterly divorced from the phenomenological world. Modern researchers who have not taken these contextual considera- tions into account have repeatedly been led to ahistorical conclusions about what historical actors were thinking and doing.

The curious blending of experimental testing, mathematical modeling, and general theory formation came about through a series of social and historical processes that generate heated debates among scholars over their nature, the order in which they occurred, whether or not the process or end result was revolutionary, and a dozen other areas of contention unlikely to be settled any time soon.

In order to illustrate my point, I will focus on Galileo Galilei d. There is no doubt that Galileo will continue to be an important figure in the history of science, though his singular role in the development of the scientific method has been made far more complex by recent scholarship.
Maddison trans. London: Chapman and Hall Very often he felt that this was an impossible task, but in the attempt he did establish methods for show- ing that his ideas about motion among other things could be supported by applied demonstrations — or what we would now call experiments. The result was that while he lacked any philosophical model of inductive knowledge formation based on hypothesis and experiment such as that which supposedly drives modern scientists, his work nevertheless followed a process of mathemati- cal modeling, demonstrative experiment, and analysis that one would be at a loss not to call scientific.
However, Galileo also provides an excellent example of the dangers of assuming that the early modern epistemic regime within which he worked closely maps that of a modern one.

Hendrix been common among both philosophers of science such as Karl Popper as well as scientists such as Carl Sagan.

The purpose of such charts could not possibly have been to earn a fee or garner patronage, leaving us to see the care with which Galileo ap- proached his work as an indication of the respect for the discipline in which he was engaged. Instead, it is just as likely that other concerns simply kept him too busy for such pursuits, especially since he became increasingly anxious to solidify his status as a philosopher rather than simply a professor of mathematics.
This point is not merely one of antiquarianism. The epistemic regime within which astrology was a rational part of the intellectual view of the world was one in which knowledge construction was based on working within a system built by foundational thinkers who saw the cosmos as an inter- linked whole, as distant celestial bodies interacted with one another and the earth in entirely consistent and mathematically describable ways.
Christian thinkers inherited the outlines of this system from Antiquity, building upon this foundation the version we encountered above by placing the beginning of the system of influences with God.
However, Western theologians agreed that he did not ordinarily intervene in his creation thereafter. Therefore, the cosmos functioned with mechanical precision, as if it were clockwork in the phrase of the fourteenth-century intellectual Nicole Oresme. Finally, Geach's arguments for the incoherence of the doctrine are discussed and rejected. Introduction This paper is about the 'doctrine of distribution' as described and criticized by Peter Geach.
My goal is to provide an alternative to Geach's account of the history of the doctrine and to defend the doctrine against his claims that it is incoherent. This paper discusses: 1 what the 'doctrine of distribution' is; 2 some of Peter Geach's criticisms of the doctrine; 3 Geach's story of the history of the doctrine; 4 an alternative account of the history of the doctrine; 5 the version of the doctrine as it occurs in the Port Royal Logic; 6 a defence of the coherence of the doctrine.
Pasnau Robert, ed. Mind and Knowledge. The Cambridge History of Medieval Philosophy. Two volumes. It is a considerable privilege to edit the successor to Kretzmann et alii, for that volume distils the work of a brilliant generation of scholars without whom our own scholarly careers would be almost inconceivable.
These volumes are entirely new, but we expect their predecessor will remain valuable for many years to come, especially for its detailed treatment of medieval theories of logic and the philosophy of language.
The present volumes differ most notably from their predecessor in three ways: first, their scope extends not just to Christian but also to Islamic and Jewish thought; second, they cover not only the later Middle Ages but also earlier centuries; third, they addresse in some detail the entire spectrum of medieval thought, including philosophical theology. Each chapter in these volumes stands on its own, but there are numerous points of contact between chapters, and we have liberally supplied cross-references.
One could thus in principle begin reading anywhere and eventually, by following these links, make one's way through the whole. Readers will also want to consult the biographies of medieval authors, in Appendix C, for extensive information on the lives and work of the figures discussed in the chapters.

Eine Ueberblick. Berlin: Walter de Gruyter, If it is true that linguistic theory must account for both the form and meaning of language, then medieval logic or some parts of it belongs to the history of linguistics; and it might perhaps even contribute to linguistics as such. Moody The Medieval Contribution to Logic, has argued that the interest and value of medieval logic is not merely historical; it is also attached to "its attempt to formulate the semantical presuppositions of ordinary language What medieval logic has to contribute, to the further development and enrichment of modern logic, is this semantical bridge between the abstract, axiomatically derived, formal system of modern mathematical logic, and the concrete, empirically oriented forms in which natural languages exhibit the rational structure of experience on its phenomenological level".

Meinongians tackle the first problem by recognizing non-existent objects; so too did many medieval logicians. Meinongians and the medievals approach the problem of indeterminacy differently, the former diagnosing an ellipsis for a propositional complement, the latter applying their theory directly to non-propositional complements.
The evidence seems to favour the Meinongian approach. Faced with the third problem, Ockham argued bluntly for substitutivity when the intentional complement is non-propositional; Buridan developed a novel way of resisting substitutivity. Ockham's approach is closer to the Meinongian analysis of these cases; Buridan's seems to raise difficulties for a referential semantics.
The comparision between the Meinongian and medieval approaches helps to bring out merits and potential pitfalls of each. Read Stephen, ed. Sophisms in Medieval Logic and Grammar.

A large and flourishing body of scholars is now actively at work in this field; interest in the topic is no longer by any means confined to a relatively small group of specialists.
Perhaps the most characteristic feature of this recent research is the symbiotic relationship between pure historical and textual scholarship of the highest quality - the edition of texts, the identification of authors and their sources, the establishment of their interrelations - and the critically exegetical work of scholars familiar with the results and techniques of modern logic and analytic philosophy.
This fruitful relationship has begun to make the immense field of medieval logic accessible not only to specialized medievalists but also to the philosophical profession at large.
The medieval period is one of the richest in the history of philosophy, yet one of the least widely known. And the medieval period was notable for the emergence of great women thinkers, including Hildegard of Bingen, Marguerite Porete, and Julian of Norwich.
Original ideas and arguments were developed in every branch of philosophy during this period - not just philosophy of religion and theology, but metaphysics, philosophy of logic and language, moral and political theory, psychology, and the foundations of mathematics and natural science. Emotions are the focus of intense debate both in contemporary philosophy and psychology and increasingly also in the history of ideas. Simo Knuuttila presents a comprehensive survey of philosophical theories of emotion from Plato to Renaissance times, combining rigorous philosophical analysis with careful historical reconstruction.
The first part of the book covers the conceptions of Plato and Aristotle and later ancient views from Stoicism to Neoplatonism and, in addition, their reception and transformation by early Christian thinkers from Clement and Origen to Augustine and Cassian. Knuuttila then proceeds to a discussion of ancient themes in medieval thought, and of new medieval conceptions, codified in the so-called faculty psychology from Avicenna to Aquinas, in thirteenth century taxonomies, and in the voluntarist approach of Duns Scotus, William Ockham, and their followers.
Philosophers, classicists, historians of philosophy, historians of psychology, and anyone interested in emotion will find much to stimulate them in this fascinating book. Skip to content Close Menu Contact. Privacy Policy. Get eBook. Get Book. The Senses and the History of Philosophy Book.
